Voting should always be anonymous. Otherwise it doesn’t take much for strength of arms to influence a vote. The second a vote isn’t anonymous, the data will be put on some computer, which means it can be hacked and stolen, then distributed.

Imagine living in a place that had a 90% vote on one side and you voted on the other side. The next vote could mean your life.

At least you can count on Canada to send help to the more dire areas to stop the worst of the civilian impact. You’re not alone in the world.

I used to but I don’t anymore. I can’t afford to give money away when I can’t even pay for my own bills.

Put something on a public platform = accept that people will look at it. Allow for people to comment on it and you invite these comments. If someone wants to post pictures and not get comments on them, they can post them to a platform that doesn’t allow comments.

They’re gonna fight it, but not for the fans. They’re doing it for themselves. They’re a company too.

Considering the origin of carbonara, it’s not that weird.

Eden ring censored “Knight” to “K***ht” iirc

That would be a refugee. The difference being “someone who’s running away” vs “someone who decided to move somewhere new”

That reads like a Terry Pratchett joke

Some of those were hilarious, like the one who didn’t know there were shots, so he just said he collapsed then was escorted off the stage, or the “I wish he would Van Gogh away” one

Give me your olives then. I don’t mind

That would be fine if they were trying to reverse ALL personal vehicle adoption, but nooo.

The problem with this is that this will encourage Canada to do the same, like the good little brother it is, and we’ll get fucked along with y’all -_-

Probably most. You’d see 1000s of articles every day non-stop, if 20%+ of people were this disgusting.

The fact that you can still be surprised is proof that most of them aren’t this disgusting.

Dude is legit running out of lawyers to hire lmao

We also use it to weigh down our fishing lines… because we’re that smart.

First past the post voting, two party system means that mathematically, you are placing half a vote on Biden and half a vote on Trump by abstaining democracy doesn’t exist in the United States. Sorry you had to learn it this way. It’s also on its way out over here in Canada, don’t worry we’re catching up :(

Alternatively you could vote for whoever has the best platform LOCALLY in YOUR country, whoever that may be, and send angry letters letting them know that while you support some of their policies, you are uncomfortable with the president’s lack of support for a cause you consider just.

If we’re talking countries that are being attacked without cause, should we talk about how Trump doesn’t want to support Ukraine’s defense? You literally only care about one issue, don’t you? This whole election is riding on one point in a thousand possible issues to consider.

Mine comes from the many Hydroelectric barrages we have here in Quebec, because we ended our use of coal and methane for generating electricity. 99% of our electricity is Hydro and the rest is wind/solar. I think maybe we have one methane plant somewhere but I don’t know for sure.

The US have basically every climate on the planet at your disposal except the poles. You could create new interesting ways to generate electricity cleanly, but your government doesn’t. It baffles the mind.

And then even with coal and methane, burning it at the station in troves is still less damaging than burning gasoline or diesel in individual vehicles because of the tiny bit of carbon the stations that are well run manage to capture (It ain’t much, but it’s more than an F150 that’s for sure)

I agree that cars should become a niche thing, not used by everyone to get everywhere. That’s completely unsustainable, but it’ll take at least 20 years of good governance for the US to be connected in a meaningful way by fast, frequent, convenient public transportation. Until then, the people who are stuck unable to move closer to work for various reasons will still need to drive, and EV are a good option for more than 80% of them.

I would just remove one word from everyone you wrote. “Unprecedented”

Look up how much time it took to build the initial interstates. Same shit in Canada and the Trans-canada highway. It didn’t take centuries to build, it won’t take centuries to fix either.

Basically the out of a simple pull of the trigger is too easy. Easier than jumping off a bridge, relatively painless, quick and doesn’t injure bypassers.

Having the gun is too easy an out, so people with suicidal thoughts will stay away from them. I was like that too at 22. Here’s just one of many stories. Trigger warning for suicide (duh)

If Quebec, Canada had the same access to handguns as the US, I would be dead today. Simple as that. Instead, I failed an attempt to jump from a viaduc because I was scared of causing a collision and taking someone else with me, was sent to the hospital by the police, got a psychiatrit’s help. Turns out I wasn’t a lazy worthless piece of shit. I had an untreated, very powerful case of ADHD blocking me from accomplishing anything of value.

I am no longer suicidal. I’ve overcome that. However, I always worry that those feelings will one day come back after a series of bad decisions. I am, therefore, keeping things that would kill me in an instant without pain away from myself. You just never know when you’ll have a moment of weakness. If I thought to off myself once, I can think of it again.
