You don’t necessarily start losing people. Every commercial medium is like this. Seeking commercial success comes with an avalanche of self-censorship and cargo cultism. You’re casting the widest possible net and the product that you produce is only evaluated in terms of revenue. Unfortunately, certain kinds of really bad art sell very well.

I think what you really mean is brains are not numeric. It’s the “digit” part that is objectionable, not the “binary” part, which as an adjective for “digit” just means a way of encoding a portion of a number.

But in the end it’s a semantic argument that really doesn’t have a lot to do with the thesis.

Conservative voters always vote conservative in every election. Progressive voters and swing voters only vote whenever the hell they feel like it. If conservatives are going up in the polls, that means moderates or progressives are intending to vote conservative, (edit: or that fewer progressives or moderates are planning to vote at all) not that more conservatives are planning to vote instead of not vote.

Do you think it is in Singh’s power to prevent a conservative government? Do you think it was within Layton’s?

Everyone complained!! No one voted!! Both things happened, but there is no evidence the rebate cheque had anything to do with his re-election. Do you seriously think it is going to work for Trudeau?!

Did I Ever Tell You About The Man That Taught His Asshole To Talk

edit: fixed

He has personal experience with Freeland that is informing his fragility.

What do you mean, “nobody’s complaining?!” Not only are people complaining in this very thread, Freeland herself specifically calls it out in her resignation letter!!

I have written a template that I can just add notes to in a very simple notation and I get three scores, one tabbed for chromatic, one tabbed for a diatonic, and one without tabs to practice sight reading. Now that I’ve done the work, it’s super easy to take notes (no pun intended, but not a bad one) and embed it in my org journal or whatever. It did take me three or four hours to get everything working just the way I wanted. The output is gorgeous!

What makes you think she DIDN’T say she would resign if he did it??

I adore lilypond and emacs

They are both posturing. Ford is an excellent politician (though poor at providing governance) and he’s smarter than you. He knows tariffs are not Trump’s end game. They both get to act tough and then Trump tries to renegotiate the trade agreement again.

Thanks for visiting. Don’t stay so long next time.

the real WTF is taking a photo of your monitor

I know you are being facetious but it struck a nerve because it’s uncomfortably close to things my young partner in social services has actually said unironically. I’m horrified to learn they have internalized a lot of the bad faith arguments they heard from their idiot father growing up. It’s like they’ve decided that unions are bad, strikes are wrong, and then work backwards from there. No sense of class solidarity or how they benefit from other unions doing well. I hope it doesn’t reflect the common attitude of young people.

The ambitions and interests of Trudeau might (for the sake of argument) be, “do whatever it takes to stay in office,” but the interests of the people who have the power to put him there are, “maximize my financial profits.” He is going to be thrown under the bus exactly so that these sorts of reforms don’t have to become a serious option for another ten years.

But, they’re NOT on the side of labour. They’re on the side of CHEAP labour. If anything, they are in opposition to labour interests.

Christmas isn’t even still a thing.

Canada defending itself with nukes makes about as much sense as a lone citizen defending themself from the state with firearms. And if it comes down to me not getting my way vs innocent people getting nuked, I’d rather die.
