  • What made you not use the web for your banking? Is the app 100% required? I use the web interface (forcing desktop version) for mine on graphene with no issues.

  • Are you talking about protecting american monopolies that shouldn't exist? Or are you buying/spewing heritage talking points?

  • Florida GOP votes up bill to allow “opportunity” to earn subminimum wage

  • Why stop at subminimum wage? They should give people the option to work for free as, what do you call that again? Oh yeah, slaves. Republicans like the idea of those, right?

  • Canada's next election likely to face AI-assisted interference, watchdogs say

  • So you're saying you think it's a good idea, you just are unable to think of viable funding sources?

  • The numbers don’t lie: The housing crisis is not caused by a supply shortage

    Jump

  • I am going to need some explanations. First, they say there are 510 dwellings per 1000 adults, and then they say there are 1017 dwellings per 1000 households. In the first number, that requires more than two adults per dwelling. That deems like we haven't hit demand yet, let alone surplus. The second numbers are only possible if there are hundreds of thousands of extra adults beyond a couple in most households. Or hundreds of thousands of homeless adults. None of those imply to me any kind of surplus. So I don't see a source of downward pressure based on over supply. If those 17 dwellings per thousand households are sitting empty, and we have homeless people, then either those 17 are uninhabitable, or they are unaffordable relative to the mode or median incomes.

    Why doesn't increasing affordable supply help solve that issue?

    The solution suggestions do make sense, it is the argument that there isn't a supply shortage that has missing pieces.

  • Why Saskatchewan calls a hooded sweatshirt a 'bunny hug'

  • I also grew up in Saskatchewan, and I make the exact same arbitrary distinction.

  • Job creation idea: farms of propaganda specialists flooding the standard social media algorithms with messaging to help people think more critically, move off of techbro propaganda streams, and counter the bullshit that will be coming through. Make part of elections Canada, and track for possible recruits to CSE and CSIS, as well as for public affairs officers.

  • Psychosis rates climb among young people in Ontario, researchers find

    Jump

  • Could be linked to extended living under a corrupt conservative government, too. Constantly being told to ignore evidence, a sense of learned helplessness, and rising corporate authoritarianism could lead to psychotic symptoms. It would also lead to an increased desure to escape the stresses reality through cannabis.

    On a less facetious note, did diagnostic criteria change?

  • Danielle Smith’s $30-Million AHS Firing Spree | The Tyee

    Jump

  • I remember reading (relatively recently) research showing conservatives literally believe badvthingscdo not happen to good people. If they know someone personally who they know is good, and something bad happens to them, they either think it is a rare example of bad luck and they will help out, or they will decide that person must not have been a good person.

    It allows them to justify the mental gymnastics of being anti-abortion but paying for their daughter's "procedure" at the same time. A "good" family member who gets cancer deserves help, but why should they fund cancer care for those morally bankrupt <fill in the "other"> people?

    Apparently they have overactive amygdalas, among other issues, and a reduced ability to engage critical thinking towards their own beliefs.

    So, yes, they kind of are cult members. But they can't be easily deprogrammed, and even if we purged this lot, we would still end up with some cropping up again.

  • Quebec says police need power to randomly stop people. Can it convince Supreme Court?

    Jump

  • I think the "to randomly stop people" is for decoration. They're actually describing the authoritarian personality disorder that makes someone want to be a cop. "The police need power" is the essence. And I say, fuck that! The police need boundaries, better judgement, and a shock or two to the system because I agree with another commenter, ACAB.

  • Keeping track of the conservatives will make it easy to identify the collaborators when the US invades. Then we can use them for disinformation and honeypots while we work our way through the enemy.

  • offer a better, fully fleshed out alternative

    is a bit of straw man. Offering a rough list of alternatives for discussion would be sufficient response to the question.

    you are allowed to say X is shitty on its own

    while true, this ignores that your original statement was challenging this choice over other possibilities. So yes, you can just say it's a shitty choice, but you (colloquially, at least) implied there exist better choices in your opinion. So it is reasonable to ask what those might be.
