2, so I can join forces with Marc Kennedy in going around the plane and telling everyone to fuck off. Then I’m gonna ask Ms. Freeland to help shove Danielle Smith into an overhead compartment.

I’m getting an “owner of the dimmsdale dimmadome” vibe

Maybe it’s a form of male birth control? I don’t imagine an array of IR lasers delicately roasting your nuts would benefit fertility.

Maybe not fraudulent since you are getting what you pay for most of the time. But I do agree, 99% of commerce is bullshit in some way or another.

I recently came across a term that describes my feelings on the matter pretty well: it’s landfill-core. Our economy depends on people buying new shit, but in order to have that happen without people’s homes turning into mountains of useless clutter, we have to constantly be throwing away old shit. So it seems to me the purpose of this whole economy thing is to expend tons of energy producing and transporting all kinds of shit, so that it can take a brief detour through somebody’s home on the way to the landfill.

Like, the majority of human productivity goes into extracting resources that just get buried again somewhere else, if not immediately set on fire.

So that’s the reason we don’t have an obvious #1 goalie this time around. Our national goalie factory is in Quebec and they’ve been slacking off over there.

If you’re not part of the solution…

In my cursory search of the web, it does not appear that gnome-software is available on mint, unless you fancy mucking around with PPAs and such. But there is good news!

Mint uses a desktop environment called Cinnamon, which is installable on arch-based systems and should be listed as an option in the CachyOS installer. And you can install the gnome-software package on top as well.

The whole project just seems kinda pointless to me as a fedizen. Canadian fediverse instances already exceed the vision of gander. The only principle differentiating this thing from the rest of corporate social media is the maple-flavoured nationalism.

I suppose it’s good that they dodged a couple of VC bullets, but, like, why do they need that much funding to spin up a fork of bluesky, y’know?

The joke being the word used to describe people who only speak one language is an abomination composed of both greek and latin. Definitely used as an insult, but it’s a clever one.

Although I seriously doubt OOP made that choice on purpose, so the secondary joke here is how they included a massive language blunder in the same comment as they were being a snob about languages.

“We had to make it harder for people to access preventative healthcare, it’s just too wasteful!”

We’re letting those preventable issues turn into real issues that put a constant strain on what precious little healthcare resources we do have, and it results in people dying in waiting rooms. I’m not sure how that’s less wasteful.

But hey, this a just another instance of conservatives doing and saying anything to wrest the healthcare system out of the public’s hands.

I rarely use planes, but I usually see them flying overhead multiple times a day.

Planes are a good answer. Commercial jets normally fly at about 900km/h.

Also satellites. Something in low earth orbit like the ISS or a starlink node would be going about 8km per second.

Poor monolinguals

I’m choosing to take this as a really clever etymology joke

I mean, you would think after the first day of getting a $250 ticket, the family would’ve done a little problem solving on their driveway situation.

Letting tickets pile up for over four years before checking to see if they stand up in court is a level of overconfidence that honestly makes it hard to have much sympathy.

Not enough action? The carbon tax had people foaming at the mouth for 5 straight years.

Meanwhile Carney’s climate policy is to ‘invest’ heavily in a technology that doesn’t work in order to offset the optics of doubling oil production.

I mean, this is definitely the wrong sub to crosspost this in, but maybe the idea will catch on up here. Fingers crossed!

Jesus christ I thought the franklin thing was somone clowning on hegseth, not a post he actually made himself. Reality has become indistinguishable from satire.

Riker swears none of the other senior officers were in that B’onnie Green production with him.

This is purely for the hype-fuelling optics. Danielle Smith is currently in the process of whoring our province out to AI datacenter developers, so we all have to make a big show of pretending that AI shit don’t stink. Who cares if getting an LLM to write legislation is the literal antithesis of democracy. Here in Alberta, if we catch sight of an ecologically abusive industry that’s doomed by its sheer fundamental unsustainability and hated by every person in the country, of course we’re going to try and lure it home.

And these fucking UCP stooges wonder why they’re getting recall petition’d.

This is what happens when you dignify a ridiculous demand with any sort of serious response. You get more ridiculous demands.

And honestly, if we’re talking about the last 20 years, maybe the US should be paying us for all the times we got dragged into one of their idiotic wars.
