Couldn’t they all just give themselves little pep talks?

Mr Beast would also be the worst person to have in a Sound of Thunder situation.

They need a ventilator to stay alive. Getting one can be a nightmare Few nursing homes can care for people who need help breathing with a ventilator because of ALS and other conditions. Insurers often deny payment for the best at-home machines, and innovative solutions are endangered by Medicaid cuts.

I think they will find I’m already doing this quite well without the glasses. It’s not hard to tell who is in the overpaid parasite class.

In the 19th Century they used to just call this a β€œconstitutional,” which meant, β€œI need to go for a walk so I can poop after.”

As Timothy Findley said, β€œpeople can only be found in what they do.” Are there any left wing parties in the UK? Maybe the Greens? Maybe whatever Corbyn is doing, if it comes together? Certainly not Labour.

I also support the UCP separating from Canada. Maybe they could try the moon or something?

You would think, by now, that all the hateful megachurches would have talked to one another and said, β€œIf a woman calls you asking for baby formula just pretend to care about other people for like 5 minutes.” She’s hitting up Oshawa now, and for some reason they couldn’t see this coming.

It is inexplicable that you would point out a more moral course of action and then happily continue to participate in and promote a harmful one.

I refer you back to my previous reply to you. Politics is not 35 days every 4 years. This is a moral and ecological catastrophe.

Those are not the options. We are not in an election. You are not voting for anything, but politics does not stop. The Liberals must be shamed out of this catastrophic policy. Your choice is to participate in that or be complicit.

Sequestration is a lie. Everybody knows this. You’re either a complete dupe or operating in bad faith.

It’s a neoliberal method. The federal Liberals are complicit in this too, and provincial Liberal parties enjoy that every time they get back into power the goalposts have been moved and so they can leave many parts of the system privatized and still seem left of centre. (Eby’s NDP too!)

How could he? The moment he achieves peak neoliberalism, he’ll climax so hard his little bird body will break in two.

They should lose so badly for this that Sam Altman uh…. violates the terms of service. They should lose lawsuits they aren’t even named in. They should lose lawsuits that only exist in Chat GPT-written court filings.

Okay you were right about the Waterloo parts. But I was fascinated with the political project of the book. Victor Hugo really wanted nothing more than to destroy Napoleon III. Also Jean Valjean is high in the pantheon of literary heroes.

If you’re complaining about FPTP, yes, it’s terrible. For as long as I’ve lived in my riding I’ve been represented by a Nazi sympathizer. Thankfully she’s resigning.
