Nahh, you need leverage to be able to extort someone. Smith has fuck all to pressure the rest of the country with, all she can do is keep making things worse for us in Alberta.

As an Albertan, I fail to see see what leverage she thinks she has here. Our province consistently votes conservative regardless of how many bones the Liberals are throwing us (ex, buying a pipeline to ensure it gets constructed when the owner backs out) or how much the Conservatives ignore us.

Leaving Canada to either form an independent nation or join the US are both wildly unpopular, and there’s nothing she can say that’ll drum up enough support for either to occur. If she decides to “turn off the taps,” her O&G overlords will punish her.

Like many of the dipshits making good money with little to no education in this province, she has a wildly inflated sense of our importance and value.

Diaper Don is further gone than Old Yeller was when his owner took him back behind the shed. Just sayin’

Lanchbery wrote. “Although I found the general damages to be minimal, Ms. Choiselat’s actions require me to award Mr. Kinnarath aggravated damages for her conduct.”

Lanchbery also said the evidence presented by Kinnarath shows that he suffered minimal damage from Choiselat’s posts, which is why he awarded the activist “nominal” damages and did not issue any punitive damages.

That’s fucking stupid. Punitive penalties should be steep enough to act as a deterrent, not merely based on what the judge perceives as the actual amount of harm to the victim’s reputation.

It’s a reference to an article about the hypocrisy and double standards right wingers have over abortions.

How fucking stupid are Trump voters?

The most accurate response to this question is “Yes.”

Geez, you really couldn’t even read past the title, eh?

I don’t think it’s a cognitive bias preventing them from accurately assessing risk for a lot of these people. Based on some I’ve interacted with, they don’t care about how much pain they experience as long as the other side feels it worse.

Others are just pure contrarians who don’t put any thought into it beyond “If the radical leftist blue hairs don’t want it, it’s probably a good thing.”

Better title: “Molson-Coors is worried customers will stop drinking mass produced pisswater if they have more options available from the rest of the country.”

A brewery making quality products would welcome gaining access to a larger market.

Step 1: label every Palestinian, as well as foreign aid workers in Palestine, as “Hamas”

Step 2: kill civilians indiscriminately (or even intentionally in many cases)

Step 3: survivors who lost family and friends are likelier to join Hamas, thus “proving” the claim in Step 1

Step 4: repeat until genocide accomplished

Fuck Israel.

No.

This sort of argument both minimises his accountability for his actions by blaming factors outside his control, and is incredibly insulting to the millions of people with actual mental disabilities who manage not to be racist assholes.

Elon is a Nazi, full stop.

That was always the surest sign I’d really pissed off a RWNJ. Good times

Funny thing about that is nobody at work looks twice if I’m leaning back and obviously doomscrolling on my phone, but spend fifteen minutes on Codewars and every person who walks by my desk is all suspicious…

I got a 3 day sitewide suspension, and (very surprisingly) a permaban from /r/fuckthealtright for calling a story about an Infowars employee getting murdered “uplifting.”

The book is a “mix of out-of-date and previously reported claims about the company and false accusations about our executives,” a Meta spokesman, Andy Stone, said in a statement.

Asshole implying misdeeds can only be reported on once, and they must be recent, otherwise they just don’t count? Fuck off…

I mean, if immigrants are being sent to an El Salvadorian prison, that’s pretty much a death sentence anyway…

What a fuckin’ joke. By the title blaming “Gen Z,” the implication is that those newer to the work force - ie, entry level and junior positions - are most guilty of this, when later in the article it points out management and executives engage in “fauxductivity” at higher rates, and that it’s far from a new phenomenon.

I’m not a zoomer, but this bullshit is often a pretty significant part of my day. I work in an industrial facility in a maintenance role, and all of our regular work is planned and scheduled in advance. We wrap up all our jobs for the day, and that’s it - we can’t just go out and start turning wrenches on live equipment. Might kill a bit of time tidying up the shop and trucks, follow up on some orders, but beyond that there’s not much to do. Current supervision is pretty chill because they know how it is, but it still feels like a bad look to be spending the last couple hours of the day sitting with my feet up, staring at my phone. And at the last place I worked, we’d actually get in shit for not appearing busy no matter how empty the schedule was.

What makes you think they’d give us voting rights? You never heard of Puerto Rico?
