I guess there are many more deeply racist and sexist people than I wish to believe.

This. I knew that there was a great deal of racism and misogyny in the USA but the extent of it is horrifying. Having lived almost my whole life there in various states, it still took me by surprise. I dont understand it and never will. Nor do I understand how people can fall for simplistic rhetoric and scapegoating. But clearly it works.

exactly. Houses in big cities are not expensive because they are better than houses in the bush. The house isnt worth shit, in fact burning it down might make the property more valuable. The land is what has value.

There will be no way to avoid it completely short of hiding in a cave all day. As for it being over… the results will most likely be known by days end, but since one side is committed to not accepting those results the next few weeks could be unprecedented.

What I learned from living in the US during the previous 2 elections :

There is no real upside to watching this closely. Like the comments on a Youtube video, for your own mental health just dont.

Ernest falsehoods left unchallenged risk being accepted as facts.

Vague hand-waving is not a solution to problems, it is lazy.

What spending should be cut? What regulations should be removed? What government programs should be shutdown?

Without some specifics there is not even anything to discuss in your comment.

The US has been engaged in that experiment for 50+yrs now. Still waiting for the trickling to start.

Maybe try explaining what you meant instead of complaining that everyone is misunderstanding you. I dont see any context clues in there to indicate you mean anything other than the standard accepted meaning of “soyboy”

While I agree with you in principle, the Greens and NDP have far more in common than the Greens and Con or NDP and Con. In a ranked system the majority of votes would be NDP-Green-Con or Green-NDP-Con. I do not blame the Greens or NDP for going their own way, it is FPTP that is flawed and can easily lead to minority rule.

In my area the Greens and NDP split 62% of the vote and so the Conservative candidate won with 38%. A ranked choice or similar scheme would have provided a more realistic representation of the electorate.

Do you think that maybe, just maybe, it is the protection from communicable disease that people appreciate and not the corporation that produced it? I know it is a radical idea but I think it has some merit and worth investigating.

I have D+ here in Canada and have never seen an ad. It is actually a pretty good deal here as it includes STAR (hulu equivalent). I only watch it on my TV but I dont think it would be any different on mobile as it is still the D+ app.

I did my part

All sensible people are questioning BC Conservative policies.

I bought a Butterball yesterday at my local YIG and it was $5.49/kg

Not the best price I have ever seen, but not terrible.

well that is depressing.

Installing Steam is easy-peasy and well worth it. The only issues I have had so far with Proton is that the convoluted file structure makes it hard to remember where to put manually installed gamed mods for BeamNG.

What about the last mile?!

I dont know about Toronto, but in every other big city I have driven in, walking a mile from my parking spot to my destination was pretty normal.

Fallout was the first time they showed me ads and made their service less convenient than piracy. Now I dont even bother. If they have something I am interested in I DL it. I still have a subscription since it comes with my item delivery service.

Having lived through the Trump years in the USA I do not grok how anyone can think it a proper way to run a government. It was not even the proper way to run a trash fire.
