Damn, two conservative PM candidates in two former British colonies both losing their seats within days of each other. Things are picking up.

The deep mind 3D chess move to make here would be to found a better conservative party and split the conservative vote.

I don’t want to vote against anybody. Canada forces such decisions, though, just like the US and the UK.

This is why I left Canada.

In Canada, the US, and the UK, yeah. In countries with good elections, things are a little more deterministic.

“Mark Carney” is the perfect name to demonstrate the Canadian “car” vowel. I am going to enjoy saying his name as Canadianly as possible.

That’s cute. Do you have any idea how auto regulations work in Japan?

Stop performing for likes to an audience that already agrees with you, and be civil. This is why I left reddit. You’re doing a great job proving to me that the reddit model is fundamentally broken and cannot be fixed. Prove me wrong.

Yet.

Weaponisation of venture capital?

Why not?

I find this minimalism strangely appealing. Unfortunately, I do not live on a farm. I hope this thing is useful to those who do, though.

The 401, specifically, is a big reason I moved to Europe. This is the first time in half a year I heard the words “four oh one”, and it’s been the least stressful six months of my life.

Lol, all-hands-on-dick

Democracy is about more than just voting, especially in the US, where the vote is so weak and pathetic. The end of segregation wasn’t decided by any vote.

Yep. It’s no longer about which candidate you like the most. It’s about which candidate will make the people you hate the most furious.

Yeah, there would be war crimes.

I read this and thought something didn’t add up. If all Tate ever did was disrespect women and treat them like property, nobody would care about him. Unsurprisingly, the truth is more complicated. See this for example.

The manosphere appeals to its audience because it speaks to the very real lives of young men [. . .] romantic rejection, alienation, economic failure, loneliness, and a dim vision of the future.

The major problem lies in its diagnosis of the cause of male disenfranchisement, which fixates on the impacts of feminism. Here it contrasts the growing challenges faced by men with the increasing social, economic and political success experienced by women. This zero-sum claim posits that female empowerment must necessarily equate to male disempowerment, and is evidenced through simplified and pseudoscientific theories of biology and socioeconomics.

If Tate’s appeal is not addressed, things will get worse.

Just use a manometer.

Anybody but Trump would have died of shame long ago.
