reconciles under Ford

Ford is one of the personae most non grata among the Maple MAGA crowd, so that’s (thankfully) a hard no. A more likely scenario I think is a split back into Reform and PC, with PCs peeling off a lot of Bloc support in QC as well as CPC support in ON and Atlantic and becoming viable that way.

There’s a non-zero chance the CPC splits too. There’s major infighting, with even Jason Kenney somehow being the voice of reason versus the MAGA wing of the party. https://xcancel.com/jkenney/status/1918107158035451945

That was my thought… if you don’t need at least part of a paycheck to pay bills, you must be in great shape

I suppose it’s all relative, but in many cases being able to survive one missed paycheque could mean simply having $1k in the bank. Surviving several months is another story.

“Gender assigned at birth” would be more accurate, but way too clunky in a sentence.

Most trans people would say they were never cis.

Bad terminology on my part, I wasn’t sure how else to phrase it!

or zoxide and yazi

She was cis until she started using Nix.

I don’t understand how that’s even possible when they have so little to show for it. I like to imagine it’s full of maliciously-compliant people trying to bleed Meta dry from the inside.

I don’t pretend to be able to predict the future. All I can do is look at past mistakes and try to avoid them.

1923, not 2023

I would hope most readers here could infer that from the fact I was talking about the NSDAP.

The ban was of course lifted later, but there’s nothing right-wingers love more than being able to say they are a persecuted by a political elite, so the ban was very good for them.

Well, he’s not wrong. The NSDAP was banned in '23 and that only fanned their sense of grievance.

AI gibberish

Have you seen how long a Big Mac stays intact when left on a countertop?

Oops, you’re right. 100 months will be the length of Trump’s second term.

Damn, from democracy to lèse-majesté in 100 months days, congrats guys!

I realize I’m not answering your question at all, but if you’re “moving to Linux for good”, how about taking the whole SSD for Linux and keeping Windows in a VM for the rare times you need it?

Mainstreet were an outlier and “won” only because their overweighting of conservatives happened to coincide with the vote-splitting that happened in BC and ON between Liberal and NDP.

The meme that GIMP is in any way comparable to PS? Yeah, I agree.

The only surprise here is that it was for China, not Russia.

I will never tire of reading articles like this. It’s like the nectar of the gods to me.
