The chronology doesn’t line up. Rick Mercer stopped being funny quite a while before he left.

AI slop and mindless nationalism, what a natural combination

While the substance in the sands is neither tar nor oil, I still insist on calling it the Athabasca tar sands, because oil companies want so badly for me to stop calling it the tar sands.

okay, gramps. don’t give yourself skin failure.

incidentally, anyone got any?

Edit: It’s okay, they’re not illegal to possess

There is very little risk of dependency when it comes to poppers use because they have no psychoactive effect.

This is just not true. Poppers have been found to produce an opiod-like effect. This is the euphoria experienced, that was previously explained unconvincingly as an inrush of oxygen due to sudden dilation of blood vessels in the brain.

Anecdotally: The ban has been very effective at affecting my popper use. I have had very significant negative health consequences from poppers, including addiction and temporary but persistent vision impairment. It has become harder over time to import poppers (which, amusingly, are often made in Canada for some reason, exported legally, and then sold back to Canadians from European websites) and I would probably go back to using poppers at some point if they became easily available.

I can think of several who seem like real people. Just very, very shitty people. The nice lady who knocked on my door for the NDP seemed legit.

I’ve never formed an opinion on a brand of toilet paper. Maybe I’m living my life all wrong.

One man suffering from dementia says some stupid stuff and breaks a trade agreement: we turn on our closest ally. Not just financially, but emotionally and culturally.

India and China literally murder our citizens, even on our own land, meddle in our elections, operate extra-jurisdictional government sites and agents in our territory, and we’re like, hey you guys, wanna be our new best friend?

Trump is a shock and we’re getting shock doct’d.

Have another hug.

I don’t think he thinks the way you and I do. I don’t think it was that calculated.

Holy FUCK. You know back when he was pretending to be a queer leftist, he had me genuinely fooled. He’s a truly scary fucker.

Not sure how I hurt your feelings. Have a hug.

Nobody had to tell me to stop reading a conservative wank sheet.

I tend to think things like toxic masculinity and fear of empathy do far more to make rednecks proud of eating meat. Though, the mere presence of someone who does not eat meat for moral reasons is unbearably aggravating for many people.

I can tell you’re being funny but I’m not exactly sure what you’re saying. Taking your comment at face value (sorry about that), “carnist” was not intended as a slur, and certainly is not defined as one. Carnists are people with the (typically unconscious, unexamined) belief that sometimes it is acceptable or even good to be needlessly cruel and violent to animals. The word contrasts with vegans, who believe needless cruelty and violence are never acceptable or good. It was coined by Melanie Joy in their 2009 book, Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows: An Introduction to Carnism.

deftly dodging an endless debate

My local media just publish verbatim releases from police and corporations.
