  • The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about

  • The only stories I’ve ever heard of involving AI are told by people who, once again, are unable to see how their increase in productivity is not being met with a reduction in work hours. Unless, or course, “reduction in work hours” means they are being shown the door so a different idiot can do kore work for the same amount of pay.

    Why does everyone feel the need to do as much as possible as quickly as possible at all times of every single day? And why are most people I talk to using ChatGPT to replace Google searches so they don’t need to actually think?

    We all need to slow the fuck down.

  • Ok, so putting aside mush comments, let’s talk about those issues.

    Singh was around a long time. Could he have been better? I won’t say no. But why would people who question that turn towards a banker who campaigned under the banner of a center-right party?

    Human rights and labour support are the same thing. You cannot have one without the other, they are deeply intertwined. The conservatives only have the branding of labour and only if you let them say it. In Ontario, with Doug Ford, how is a rich nepo baby who commits oodles of white-collar crime, spends too much time trying to be the mayor of Toronto, and not doing good things for the working folk the guy who gets to be considered working class?

    I have no comment on the immigration thing.

    The only reason I would ever consider that excuse for the coalition being a bad idea is the absolutely embarrassingly high levels of political ignorance we in Canada are capable of.

    I’ve gotta watch the debate, it’s on my list of things to do, but honestly can we just drop the whole charisma angle? We’re talking about why progressive voters would vote for the Liberals and you cannot tell me that Carney was Captain Charisma. Even today I just see a horribly beige, empty suit who’s just a puppet for allowing provate companies and the US to run roughshod over us. He’s painfully forgettable, except that we will be feeling all the weakened environmental protections deeply for a very long time, so drop the “charisma” bullshit. Besides, PP was being dweeby enough that my own, historically conservative, father voted directly against him(I’m from Ottawa) and they still got votes. Progressives are supposed to be better than this and if we need someone to show up with purotechnics in order to be energized to do the right thing then that’s beyond sad.

    It all comes back to the idea that there is no reason you can give that could not be thrown directly back, and harder, at the Liberals and that I’m speaking directly to all the people who stomped all over our progressive option just to elect an obvious right-wing grifter. The Liberals just need to show up and they get treated like the defauly but the NDP need to do a whole song and dance just to continue to be ignored? And you think that makes sense?

  • Project 2025 creator wants to ban gender-affirming care for trans adults

    Jump

  • Not only that, but us straight, white dudes do so many shootings that despite there really not being that many trans people they’re still under-represented. It’s not like there were only five shootings and so 20% was by a trans person, there were so many that it’s less than a percent.

    It’s not just the flat numbers, but the percentages, too.

  • I believe, as I’ve stated, that if you claim to be progressive and think that the Liberals will save you, you’re a fucking idiot. I have been abundantly clear.

  • Brother, I have no clue what conversation you’re having or with who. I detest the Liberals, have never voted for them, do not trust any rotten word out of their mouths, and did say “openly hate”, with italics and everything, but if you keep responding as if I’m writing in favour of them then I’m not surprised you missed that part, too.

    Go take a deep breath, buddy.

  • PM Carney says Conservative MP Jeneroux crossing the floor to the Liberals

    Jump

  • The NDP is the most progressive thing we have with real coverage, and the Liberals are, at this point, just conservatives that don’t openly hate minorities.

    What the hell are you talking about?

  • PM Carney says Conservative MP Jeneroux crossing the floor to the Liberals

    Jump

  • The fuck are you talking about? They formed a coalition so they could represent their constituents and force the Liberal party to be at least somewhat useful. That’s what governments should be and it’s why minority governments are such a good thing. If you hate the Liberals so much that you don’t want the NDP near them then what the hell is your real position trying to claim we shouldn’t be voting for the NDP and then, I imagine, should be voting for the Liberals?

    And then they get in trouble for working with the Liberals and they get in trouble for not being a homogenous blob, too? You don’t have a real stance, your brain is fucking mush, and nothing you’re saying is backed by any kind of true critical thought. Embarrassing.

  • That’s not the burn you think it is, not even fucking close. Also fucking hilarious that you think Carney is a progressive.

  • And how is the NDP supposed be built if we keep not voting for them? Are they supposed to just do a bunch of work for free for a few decades? They basically already have, and they simply got loss of official party status as a reward for that.

    The Liberals aren’t just boring, they’re actively harmful. I don’t want Poilievre anywhere near power either but I’m not so naive as to believe that this battle is over, or even progressing, just because we sacrificed our values again. They’ve become very close to the conservatives we were all supposed to be afraid of back in 2021, and their trajectory is that they’re getting worse, not better. If the Liberal voters are so wise, should they not be acutely aware of this fact?

    You even admit that coalitions work and, I imagine, understand that the NDP used their leverage to get Canadians things that we needed when the Liberals weren’t going to on their own. They fight for us even when they aren’t in full control. How are they supposed to form a coalition without having any seats?

    It’s always “now is not the time” with you lot. It’s cowardly and weak. You’re right that it’s going to take time, so we better start now if we want to see any change in the future. Yes, it will suck for a moment, but do you really believe that the solution is to make endless excuses every single election cycle?

  • PM Carney says Conservative MP Jeneroux crossing the floor to the Liberals

    Jump

  • What’d they do to nuke themselves? The only complaints are “they don’t do anything” even they did a lot even just as the other member of a coalition government during the Liberal’s last run, and people also say they aren’t charismatic enough but I never once got the feeling that Trudeau was particulary charismatic and we just elected a boring banker who is even more boring now. Why the double standard all the time? Why do they need to be 100% perfect just to still get thrown aside but the Liberals get to be all kinda of fucked and we still consider them some kind of “default” party?

    Jump

  • If the other options don’t exist then how are the private daycares struggling to fill the classrooms? People need their kids taken care of, I doubt anyone is prematurely taking their kids out of private daycare.

  • Conservatives are dumb as hell, they probably don’t even realize that they’re getting the same ideology they used to vote for just under a different name.

    If I could magic one seemingly small thing into the world it would be to make everyone think just a tiny bit more about what they were doing. It would be to make them vote honestly and in alignment with their ideology and not based on their past choices or party branding.

  • PM Carney says Conservative MP Jeneroux crossing the floor to the Liberals

    Jump

  • Why? Was it all the stuff they got done when the only power they had was a coalition government? What was it? And Carney getting stuff done is better even though the stuff being done is bad? What about the Liberals and their constant lying, scheming, and persistent disdain for the working class make them a better choice?

    Are for real? You cannot honestly be that stupid, can you?

  • PM Carney says Conservative MP Jeneroux crossing the floor to the Liberals

  • Ya’ll need to pay attention, then. They’re stripping back environmental protections “for the economy” and selling our shit to private companies, laying people off in a time when it’s already incredibly difficult to get jobs, and tried to help Air Canada by butting into the flight attendant strike to make it illegal and we’re all lucky that it didn’t work. “Elbows up” lost steam immediately and then we just fell in with China instead. So much of the good they did the last time was the NDP making them do it while Canadians bitched about the NDP “not doing anything”. They’re not “increasingly conservative” they are just conservatives and they are less and less afraid of showing it each cycle.

    I’m so beyond over lazy, relativistic politics. Who the hell cares if they’re better than worst from other countries when we literally have a better party right here?

  • Funny how many Conservatives seem happy enough to go the party that is supposedly full of “woke leftists”. Almost as if the Liberals are actually conservatives, have been for a while, and too many of us are too stupid to have seen it.

    Glad we nuked the NDP again for this!

  • Some people are broken. They’re the narcissists and psychopaths and people who refuse to address their trauma(having trauma is fine, doing nothing about it and making it everyone else’s problem is less so) who we keep handing power to for some fucking reason.

  • Gavin Newsom is much worse than you think

    Jump

  • Yup, and all because it’s what people say.

    And then people go “you have to vote Liberal or the Conservatives will win!” and it’s like, ya’ll voted Liberal and conservatives did win! And not only that but in doing so they also further delayed the country by shooting our major progressive option in the foot!

    I just wish people had a baseline intelligence that wasn’t so embarrassing.
