This is something that a Russian Facebook ad-buyer would say.

It took 4-8 years of US rural voters not caring about things until it affected them before they even started considering that Trump doesn't care for any American besides himself. In the UK I don't even know how they lasted in that trance for so long.

My cynical take is that people are going to recognize the destructive effects of a Conservative government only after 5-10 years at the least. If the political blocs don't change, then we'll get milquetoast Liberals again. Conservative media will continue to repeat "Liberals bad" enough for people to believe it again.

I have no experience in political strategy, but the only few ways I see of breaking out of this cycle is to

A: adopt a fairer voting system

B: Link the Canadian Conservative Party to the US Republican party, Project 2025 etc.

C: Announce progressive action so bold with near-immediate effects that it makes a difference to their electoral prospects, without appearing like an electoral bribe/promise.

I have heard little interest in A from government, grits and NDP might be waiting until November to do B so they don't slander people they may be forced to work with, and C is nigh impossible, at least I can't think of any realistic policy example that could achieve that. A proper UBI might be close.

Wow so it took only 4 weeks to go from TFG accepting fake endorsements from Swift, to Swift actually endorsing Harris, to Trump rage-posting about her.

If you still have Best Before Aug 10 in your fridge I don't think you would have wanted to eat that anyway.

Imagine communicating something to a former President but through a misinformation party apparatus of thousands and thousands of people.

Um.... just put 3 of them layered in each other. -15°C tripled is -45°C, right?

Hatted gargoyle goblin is the character I like to play. In one sentence it's a 6-on-6 third person hero shooter MOBA.

I found that compared to League of Legends (at least what I knew of it 4 years ago) and other team shooting games, going after objectives is more important than winning more fights and good K/D ratios, at least at the casual player level.

Like other similar games it takes awareness of where allies and enemies are on the map, coordination between team members to play effectively and some knowledge of each character's ability. But even if you absolutely suck at shooting unpredictably moving targets (that's me), knowing when to push a lane, when to support your team, when to reap the successes of a teamfight and when to pull back will contribute toward a win even if you're 1/15/5. And a lot of punching of course.

Where Deadlock is nice right now is the short queue times and nice pick mechanism, helpful indicators for a lot of things once you know what they mean, and fun movement combos with dashing sliding and jumping.

$0.11 Canadian/kWh, my usage is about 150kWh per person per month, but I don't have summer AC. There's a higher rate beyond a threshold of 675kW/h but that's still under 15 cents. With a zero-use daily charge including municipal levies about 30 cents per day, and some fluctuations based on power sold, imported and other costs (my last bill had like $3 in credits). All in all about CA$25/mo ($18US).

Charged by BCHydro, the provincial power regulator. I've been really shocked at how cheap utilities are overall in BC, I budgeted about 3 times the amount I needed when I first moved.

Ok. When media gets hold of her, this is what they're going to do:

Breaking news: Harris says XYZ in interview!

Coming Up Next: Why Trump says that Harris saying XYZ is bad!!!

Over and over again so that they get to lick both sides of the pot in engagement.

Slightly unrelated thought that occurred to me...

Harris, during the debate, invited people to attend Trump rallies. Republicans wouldn't want to do anything that a liberal, communist Democrat like Harris would ask them to. Which might be more disincentive to attend the rallies and melt Trump and his followers' brains even more than just the heat.

Wink wink nudge nudge Labour Minister, CIRB, you know what I'm saying, eh? - Air Canada CEO

What's with the trailer looking like a U-haul teeter-totter?

Trump's advisors were reaching for any reason to convince him he won, because they know how disastrous another debate would be.

Not to worry, we will be entertained by the Walz-Vance faceoff, though I'll admit giving TFG the talking to he's deserved since forever ago was immensely gratifying.

The files are in the computer

Those files will reveal all the evidence the City Commissioners were hiding!!!!

Many Republicans were also not convinced about their candidate's performance in the debate in Philadelphia. Some 53% of Republican voters in the poll said Trump won the debate, compared to 91% of Democrats who said she was the victor. Among Republicans, 31% said no one won and 14% said Harris got the better of Trump.

I get partisanship is bad, but I'm glad 9 out of 10 Democrats and 1 of 7 Republicans have their head screwed on correctly. Did a large portion of viewers watch it with the volume on mute?

I mean sure because conservative women are supposed to be either stuck in the kitchen and nursing children, a husband's sex slave or a mouthpiece advocating for the first two.

Social conservative positions have just gone off the rocker and left most women behind, being mocked, insulted and threatened. Examples are the childless cat lady comment and recently Musk's abhorrent outburst re: Ms. Swift.

Adding to my own comment:

Shoutout to all of you Lemmings and Fedizens for participating in this platform, and staying in our communities despite many features still early in development compared to established platforms. Thank you for that.

If you can believe it, Trump supporters will accept the Ohio immigrant pet eating story as true.

Somehow media is pitching the "moderate position" as halfway between anywhere within the normal range of political positions and the crazy positions.

Buttons pushed.
