Canada is hiring American doctors left right and center.
- Comment on Why is society at large okay with euthanasia for pets but not for humans? 2 weeks ago:
it’s not something that you can just walk into an office and a doctor will just shoot you up.
TBF the uproar is from people who also believe children are getting sex changes at elementary school.

- Comment on Driving game poll 2 weeks ago:
Yea? I’m not on PC and apparently the console version isn’t the same.
- Comment on Driving game poll 2 weeks ago:
Yea the car aspect exists in gaming. Like how old is Midnight Club now?
What we need is Microsoft Flight simulator levels of real world immersion. Need to capture the feeling of a “road trip” or “Sunday cruise”.
- Comment on Driving game poll 2 weeks ago:
The appeal is the cars. Like this kind of game is more for train simulator people than GTA types.
-
Buying new car costs insurance which is determined by length of gameplay without accidents.
-
In depth paint / decal system
-
In depth engine / body mod system
-
Replica open world with real life landmarks and achievments for visiting them all
-
In game events like group cruises, car shows, drag racing etc

I feel like someone will make this within the next 10-20 years. Especially as combustion engine or even default manually controlled cars get phased out.

Yup. Anyone writing off the majority of their fellow working class is just playing into hands of fascists.
- Comment on Is there a platform like github that isn't for code? 3 weeks ago:
Google sheets or Microsoft office. I don’t know if a dedicated platform exists but I would not expect a large demand given the alternatives.

Obviously they’re not going to protect the people we replace them with. That’s up to us!
- Comment on Yeeeesh, tough choice. 4 weeks ago:
GOP & DNC are the sword $ shield of the wealthy elites respectively.
But still GOP incumbents have always been more likely to face a funded primary opponent. Meanwhile DNC protects them from challengers.
- Comment on Yeeeesh, tough choice. 4 weeks ago:
Also Americans need to nominate people for candidacy. What stood out the most to me in Knock Down The House was that it was AOC’s brother in law that nominated her and the grass roots organization that vetted and asked her to run.
I think a lot of competant leaders don’t run for office because they don’t believe they will even make it onto the ballot.
- Comment on Yeeeesh, tough choice. 4 weeks ago:
Yea but they never will so the only option is to primary them.
Like Americans need to realize that not primarying democrats means they feel safe with your vote and are thus incentivized to prioritize seeking republican voters.
MAGA on the other hand literally primaried people for not being extreme enough… Only took them 6 elections if you think about it.

What a chud post.
NLG OP is kind of the cancer we all wished stayed on reddit.

Apparently he’s saying it’s safe? I honestly dont know wtf he’s saying

Nah you got offended

you sure do
- Comment on "Science isn't political!" 5 weeks ago:
Thank you. I tried re reading it in “gargling sand” voice but I still couldn’t figure out what he meant.
- Comment on What’s the difference between anarchy and libertarianism? 5 weeks ago:
My brother in christ. I disrespect conservatives, libertarians, and anarchists equally.

Is this RFKJ’s broken clock moment?
Or am I reading into this wrong? Cuz AFAIK glyphosate is in fact bad for the environment and the food chain including us.
- Comment on What’s the difference between anarchy and libertarianism? 5 weeks ago:
So a quick distinction might be that libertarians want a minimal state while anarchists want no state.
Aka house cats and yappy dogs.
- Comment on What’s the difference between anarchy and libertarianism? 5 weeks ago:
conservatives who smoke too much weed
Seriously libertarians are the civic equivalent of not knowing how potato chips are made.
- Comment on What’s the difference between anarchy and libertarianism? 5 weeks ago:
Libertarians are house cats. Anarchists are yappy little dogs.
- Comment on Why do pot or other drug dealers "lace" their drugs knowing full well it will pretty much kill their customer base and rep? Is this not like a retail store telling customers everyday FUCK YOU and hope 1 month ago:
Yea holy shit I’d assumed it would cost more. Gonna need a better analogy.
- Comment on Why do pot or other drug dealers "lace" their drugs knowing full well it will pretty much kill their customer base and rep? Is this not like a retail store telling customers everyday FUCK YOU and hope 1 month ago:
Pot is rarely laced.
Be like selling jet fuel at red bull prices. Makes no fiscal sense.
- Comment on Is there a reason that all elected (not appointed) officials shouldn't be subject to a recall vote? 1 month ago:
Few things with the car analogy. You don’t purchase a care for a term. Even tho they come with a warranty. Cars have manufacturing standards, as do the regions they are legal to operate in; the existence of these standards is what substantiates lemon and bait and switch laws.
You’re forgetting impeachment. If someone commits crimes they can be impeached - and has been done despite recent top of mind events.
This is the same argument that has kept senators in congress for decades with no term limits.
You’re conflating changing people mid term with changing people at their regular term intervals. As an American you rarely experience elections outside their scheduled interval. As a Canadian I can assure you that elections do interrupt things especially when you have to go to the polls repeatedly. We had federal elections 2 years apart in 2019/2021 and it was largely a pointless expense that served only to reset the governments 5 year window to call the next election.
Also the new guy being worse is a bit of a “whataboutism”
No its not. Whataboutism is pointing the finger at someone else to deflect. Logically if we elected someone who is doing such a bad job that we need to recall them, it is possible we could do that again.
A higher barrier to recall would help the constant switching
I think thats the case. I’m Canadian and recall elections are possible for anyone given the constituants follow a multi step process leading to a recall vote.

AKA the carrot not the stick

Because that’s what terms are for. You elect people for a term.
-
Elections cost taxpayer money. Every single district potentially have an election at anytime would necessitate a significant contingency fund in any budget.
-
Changing leadership interrupts things with no guarantees. What if the new guy is even worse?
