On review sites in particular, there are kickbacks involved - and free/OSS products can't pay as much as for-profits.

It's a bit inappropriate for this group, but you might check out Ian's Shoelace Site for some lacing and tying tweaks.

Saw another poll that suggested Carney could lead a Liberal majority. I think the only thing clear is thst pollsters don't really know how to deal with Poilievre's freefall (and neither does Poilievre).

I'm hopeful for another minority, and I'd love to see the NDP use it to force through meaningful electoral reform. Then we'd likely never see another majority government again.

Well for one thing, you'll find out how many Canadians are willing to use a gun in defence of their country, despite very few being invested in the American gun culture.

Also, it would likely be the beginning of WWIII.

The ad company that fucked developers over a few months ago?

So long losers!

"What MAGA all agree" is a fool's errand, like most universal consensus questions.

But here are a few high points:

• Some genuinely believe the rhetoric about how Trans/brown/non-Christian/etc. people are destroying the American way of life, jobs, safety, sports, the economy, and whatever they get pointed to at any given moment.
• Some are outright racists, bullies, and fascists, and absolutely love what Trump is doing right now.
• Many are just frustrated with their lot in life, and are willing to try anything (except personal action) to improve things.
• Many more feel like they're just a few paycheques or a small windfall away from living the rich life like Musk et al. As about 90% of lottery winners can attest, winning $10M or so doesn't make you obscenely wealthy, and it's still pretty easy to piss it all away. They have no concept of the difference between "rich enough to not work" and "rich enough to own multiple superyachts."

Most importantly, a large subset of this last group overlaps with the others, and believe that they only way for them to get ahead is by climbing over the bodies of others.

It's only a bombshell if there's a bomb with shrapnel.

Put another way, if Smith & co. don't face meaningful consequences for this, then it doesn't matter.

We KNOW she's corruot, we KNOW the UCP is flouting the law at every turn, we KNOW that the government runs on intolerab0nce, greed, and graft.

So what do we do about it?

Smith doesn't understand the concept of wrongdoings. She's a psychopath who onlyu understands what she can or can't get away with.

Scott Moe is a hate-driven, Trump-loving knee-jerk fascist. His entire leadershipnhas beem defined by sucking up to Kenney, Smith, and Poilievre, trying to prove that he can play in the deep end of the fascist wading pool.

He can shut the fuck up.

Canada weighing in. It's now "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)" for us.

Fucking Nazis at Google should die in a fire of their own white robes.

What trend? Lying about being noble while trying to destroy everything in their way?

They've been doing that for 25 years now. It's not a trend, it's a business model.

Hah!

Good luck with that.

To be fair, he has nothing but contempt for both.

Of fucking COURSE he did.

Administratively blocked is not the same as technically blocked.

I fully expect that they'll keep illegally accessing, modifying, and destroying records until they are hauled away in chains.

A suggestion here: have an entry deadline, and then start tge voting period after that closes. Otherwise the earliest submissions will have an advantage.

Until we see him and Musk and the rest of the party hauled away in chains, you can hold on to your virtue signalling.

Good.

This will hurt us - a lot - but will absolutely destroy the US.

Frankly, it's overdue.

Don't drink quite so much.

Seriously, hangovers are a sign of excessive drinking. Last memorable one I had was 16 years ago.

Racists is too gentle.

Nazis. You're hiring (appointing) nazis now.
