  • Teslas also have some horrific privacy/ownership issues, sub-par build quality, and have regularly locked people inside during fires. They also have shitty door handles that ice over in winter, use software updates as a crutch, and Elon Musk makes other vehicle manufacturer CEOs look like saints.

    Also, you don’t need to buy from all of them. Subaru is a real company that doesn’t do horrific things and actually has proven that they’re honest when they say that infinite growth is not something they chase.

    If the reason you’re afraid to know is because you want to buy stuff and feel good then you have a bigger problem. It’s ok not to know but to essentially refuse to know?






  • Remember, folks, those “subsidies” he’s talking are simply the result of an idiot looking at his country relying so much on importing our oil and other resources that they spend more to buy our stuff than they get from selling their own shit. He thinks that the U.S. is so perfect and awesome that there’s no way they could possibly be beholden to another country like this so obviously it means that they’re giving away money.

    Canada has the control here, not those losers.



  • Asked about reports that some left-leaning senators – like Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and John Fetterman (D-Pa.) – could back Kennedy’s potential nomination…

    Apparently it’s just that people widely agree that the U.S. food regulations are a joke and companies get away with too much but they also won’t actually back RFK because he’s fucking crazy when it comes to everything else.



  • It’s simple, they can’t fathom the idea that they wouldn’t get something in direct return for doing a job and that’s the corr philosophy of libraries. They will, of course, underpay any and all staff and claim “that’s market rate and you should be happy” so we aren’t allowed to be mad when we don’t get paid.

    Libraries are a thing that genuinely exist for the love the game. Every conservative so broken by the system that they genuinely believe that the only way to enjoy work is by being lazy, because any passion has been stripped from them, cannot understand this. They cannot understand doing something and allowing that betterment to come around later to help fund the library.

    Conservatives are wildy unimaginative and full of a hatred they’re too emotionally stunted to control. They turn that hatred on the weak and vulnerable instead of their bosses who kick them in the teeth every morning and in the ass when they leave work later. Libraries are happy places, and they left true joy behind a long time ago.




  • Yes, it is news. We’re tired of hearing about his lying but, unlike when he was given a huge platform in 2016, now that he’s holding office we don’t get to ignore it. I’m Canadian but even here the power he is wielding and the way it influences our conservatives means even I have to keep up with this bullshit.

    He’s going to lie anyway and there will be people who hear him do it so everyone else needs to know ahead of dealing with those idiots that he’s definitely lying.



  • Ok, so it sounds like the church is a bad community investment but if the building is repurposed into a community centre run by the municipality then that’s the best option, no? It can even hold religious services for multiple religions now that it’s just a building.

    Also you could totally have dances in a church! The social dances where I’m from are held in the basement of a church on Fridays. Before it moved to a community centre the organization where I live now held them in a church that had been converted like I mentioned above.

    Your issue is a lack of imagination, not a lack of church.


  • Churches aren’t community centres and they are highly exclusionary. Libraries are vastly undersold to the public but they do still offer TONNES of services and hold all kinds of community events. I’ve personally seen them as part community centre, part summer camp, or part theatre, among other things. They offer programs to help the homeless, they let you use the internet for free, and they are places of learning that aren’t spewing nonsense. They do so much for the community and they don’t even require you to do or believe anything in return.

    Churches only have as much of a community as anything else that gathers weekly. My weekly social dances have the same thing, someone else might have a big game night at a board/cardgame shop, and others may go to the pub. One place near me has a giant folk music jam you can just roll up to to play or watch. Churches aren’t only not the only place to go for community but they’re also not even that good at it.


  • I was on Instagram the other day and saw an account called “cakes on cakes” where she makes these incredibly well decorated cakes, like top-top-tier cakes, and then at the end she sits on them. Turns out she has an OnlyFans where people pay to watch her “wash off all the frosting” as the tagline goes.

    To be honest I want a non-sitting version of the account so I can follow, like, and share the content without my friends thinking I’m just out here with a food fetish.
