Mixed opinion these days often reads more like outright polarization vs balanced discussions.

For all that glorious jam!

But voting machines are safe, right? /s

Could be anywhere in Canada too

The way the world is going right now? …survival.

So. Your co worker NEVER watches TV? You know? Where swearing is everywhere.

I have that book, …somewhere.

Hey, I’m down.

You can have 40 songs all named the same. No legal recourse. IANAL, JAM.

(Just a musician).

AKA “a fart walk”

This has been bullshit for 20 years, what changed all of a sudden?

Hi! Canada here, e we export s fair bit of quality bud, Bud ;)

Basically it says to me “Fuck your for being/showing/reminding me that you are smarter/more informed/more reasoned/more compassionate than me!”

Same applies to “woke”.

It’s how it’s said that speaks volumes.

If, and it’s a big IF, the electronic voting system software is legit.

So easy to do. Or, used to be.

Short answer?

Because people always choose what’s easy.

Buying into hatred, fear, mistrust and rhetoric is, in the end, just easier than working out the progressive thought processes to arrive at what is deemed to be societally more beneficial.

Combine that with the serotonin rush that comes with the outrage culture and its enablers…

…and there you go.

We are just stupid apes in the end.

Meanwhile, in Canada:

Repeated security audits at major airports such as YYZ show repeated and regular occurrences of airside staff not getting screened for weeks at a time.

Essentially, many airside staff don’t get screened much, but passengers get the Theatre. Recommendations from repeated audits to change this did nothing.

CBC has a whole piece on it. Once post 911, and again years later (nothing changed).

So many holes in airport security, it’s ridiculous when compared to the passengers’ routine denigrations.

Meh, Elton John did this with an oven manual…. On the spot.

At the risk of coming off like I’m criticizing, wasn’t I told to substitute my choices of fats, with margarine, and low-fat alternatives that were instead laden with other problems ? Oh, and the sugar alternatives like aspartame, and Splenda?

Forgive my skepticism. But I’m much healthier after a decade of going back to butter, sugar, and less processed foods? My medical chart is all I need for confirmation of my choices.

Encouraging news though.

Yup

DV’d. Huh. I actually meant their body would be dead without vaccines. Must have come off like I’m a loon,…er ‘anti-vaxer’.

Or, Lemmy is rife with cra, …er, ‘anti-vaxers”
