I read it as “we are aware that these two ideologies are different and frankly they are both such absolute garbage that we don’t really care to distinguish them all that much.”

It’s to show that there is literacy and understanding of nuance there, but that at the end of the day it’s more of a “fun fact” when the centrists keep supporting the conservatives as their general default. Even when Liberals do nothing is about how that nothing is consistently helping the far-right get away with shit while aggressively discouraging progressive change.

Conservatives are nationalist morons who are trying to conserve and bring back a lot of the systems that let low-quality privileged people in their given society keep all the power. Liberals don’t have hating minorites as a policy goal but they also refuse to believe that doing nothing will not, in fact, make up for hundreds of years of systemic issues. Conservatives will try to fix capitalism by ethnic minorities and Liberals will try to fix by getting rid of rules which “might stifle economic expansion”. Neither of those ideologies are worth anything though they are different.

Renting is important to have available but it absolutely does not need to be at the level its at. The amount of people paying for someone else’s investment while wishing they could own something of their own is crazy and it’s insane that we’ve normalized that. And all the while they’re just hoping nothing goes wrong because it seems like even the “good” landlords are hit-or-miss when it comes to getting them to do literally anything. Mine’s usually pretty good but right now there’s a fucking hole in the foundation and getting them to properly address it is a hurdle I shouldn’t have to go through. In order for these buildings to be profitable the tenants need to not only pay for those issues you mentioned but now they’re also paying for someone else’s salary AND in the end that person gets to sell the building and keep all that money, too.

The reason the housing market is fucked in the US and Canada is becauss there are very few rent controls and a lot of the power sides with the landlords. In Montréal you have to be worried about going taking them to court because future landlords can just look up if you’ve ever done anything and deny you a place to live even if the problem was your current landlord is dogshit. Oh, and there’s a new law that’s around landlords being able to use necessary renovations as excuses to raise your rent! They have all the power and it doesn’t matter if they’re big or small, it’s a “business” that attracts the kind of people who don’t mind making easy money off of making you pay for their stuff.

Your landlord(probably) isn’t going to let you hit it because you’re glazing them on Lemmy. Stand up for yourself and others, even if you got lucky with a landlord who is considered good because they don’t throw a hissy fit when you ask them to do their fucking job.

I don’t love pineapple on pizza, personally, but you’re ao right that this is just a pineapple hater thibking that the people who do love it would actually give a fuck like they do.

“I hate you and so you must hate me! Let’s hate this new thing together!”

“Umm…no I just think you’re weird and ignore you.”

I know readong is difficult, but I literally just said that it wouldn’t be any fun if we allowed for that level of globalization. Every single slice has a sushi restaurant somewhere, they all have burgers and mexican food somewhere.

I live in Montreal, my guy, I am well aware of what is available if we decided to complete ignore the entire premise of the post.

It’s D and it’s not even a little close. I’d be sad to lose burritos and jerk chicken, and not be able to try more African food, but yea D 10000%, no regrets.

The only way this map is any fun at all is culturally. I’m in Canada, and it’s great, but tortiere and poutine and simpler stuff(we’ll exclude a good portion of stuff that’s just modified foreign foods like North American style chinese food) just wouldn’t cut it. And hea there are foods from the indigineous population but sorry if pemican doesn’t get me going like Southeast Asian food.

I remember months ago people were like “I guess you guys gotta fight us and kick our asses” and I’m lol no buddy, fix your own problems.

Saw a kid at the zoo banging all up on the glass at a turtle yelling “WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP” and his dad aas doing fuck all. Tried to say “hey buddy maybe we chill” but I don’t really think it got through and he only stopped because of coincidental timing(a parent that shitty would probably get mad at me and I was there to have a good day).

(Note: I did have a good day, the zoo is awesome. We pet rays).

The US: “we need to be making more babies! Also fuck you, here’s a bill for the amount of a very nice new car! Get fucked, loser!”

A big reason why that’s important, as long as it’s done with care, is because conservatives rely on the rhetoric that purely white, conservative communities would be without crime. This kid grew up in a prime setting to show how amazing their way of life is without any “evil leftist” influences and yet here we are. The US has been given every opportunity to show how great theocratic conservative capitalism is and yet it keeps failing because the reality is that it fucking sucks rocks.

If you take only that part of my comment, sure. Try reading the rest of it.

Life is stranger than fiction. Yes, the timing worked out, that doesn’t mean fuck all. This isn’t a movie, and sometimes timing can be unintentionally poetic. The shooter could hear them, too, and may have decided that was the moment they wished to fire the shot on their own accord. Those types of questions are asked all the time at these shitty debates, it’s not even remotely special and it’s even a topic that is one of the core things Kirk pushed pretty heavily.

Everyone’s making up all kinds of conspiracies when the highly likely, nearly guaranteed, reality is that it was someone who came to the conclusion that the systems present in the US would not only do nothing to punish Kirk for his hate but in fact reward him for it. The same thing happened to a certain health insurance CEO for the same reason. They took the law into their own hands because the law does exist to serve victims, only oppressors.

Yes, this means the violence all too present in the US has finally come to white conservatives. Deal with it.

Lol, amazing

Not just “violence”, but actively trying to downplay mass shootings by blaming them on “gang violence”. He’s a goon, but at least he’s the best kind of goon(a dead one).

Yea, all that gang violence in all those schools, Chuck.

What a perfect time for him to be shot. It’s poetry, truly.

“Businesses exist to money people” after you tell them how a business exploited people or put their employees and/or customers in danger.

Except why do private companies handle taxes at all? That’s not their business and the government should be able to handle it all themselves. Take your smugness and shove it.

Trump is, despite a lowering crime rate in DC, claiming that DC is full of crime and that he needs to take direct control over the police and military and have them run around the place intimidating everyone.

The US is a deeply fucked country and now they’re just going full mask-off. They’ve been setting for this for a long time so it looks, to someone less informed, like it shouldn’t be happening this quickly but really none of this is surprising.

The older one or the weird newer one that looked like the affordable sedan of supercars?

This is 100% worse, though. Both should come with being shot in the street as punishment but at least application fees is paying for something you want and not paying to see if you even want it at all.
