That reference is going to (sadly) go over wore a few folks’ heads, but I remember Bush and Powell’s insane justifications.

There is, it’s called education. Which they are conveniently also fucking over…

I am generally an optimistic person, but boy is it getting difficult to remain optimistic about the state of the world these days.

While I want to share in your optimism about the NDP potentially coming to power again in Alberta, I am worried it sets them up to be the scapegoat for everything bad that happens again and the UCP will win several consecutive governments off the back of blaming the NDP. Again.

I am both not surprised and incredibly outraged at this development. Why are Alberta politicians and fringe assholes so hell-bent on backsliding Alberta into the next US state?

Since nobody mentioned them yet, Strapping Young Lad - Detox.

Honestly though, anything that Devin Townshend touches is gold.

As someone who was unemployed until recently, all I can say to this is: Fuck Trump and those bullshit tariffs he unilaterally imposed. I was laid off the day they first came into effect, and their impact made finding a job in what used to be a very active sector of the economy a nearly six month ordeal.

I don’t blame companies for adjusting to economic adversity and changing regulatory landscapes, nor do I personally blame Carney or the Liberals for not rolling out stimulus packages in that constantly changing and shifting landscape. I’m happy they are doing this now of course, but let’s not forget that the sole culprit of this nonsense is that bloated orange wannabe dictator in Washington.

Who could’ve seen that coming from Tulsi “totally not a compromised asset” Gabbard.

It’s honestly so much worse even. The sexual orientation and promiscuity tracking are just the tip of the iceberg. Thanks for sharing the link so everyone can read up on this.

Oh man, the new Leaf went on that same crossover trend that has ruined so many other previously interesting models.

I am sure Nissan focus tested this for the intended market demographic, but I’ll miss the compact hatchback style of the older models.

Obligatory “Beaverton is supposed to be satire”.

Man, this is just the truth. Alberta conservatives actively seek to make things worse for everyone.

Hyper normalisation has left everyone feeling defeated or indifferent. The strategy of “every day is nore insane than the previous” has fucking worked.

Alberta being Alberta I guess. You can always bet on then taking the most infuriating, backwards, and if possible racist decision possible for any situation.

I know not everyone in that province hates being reasonable but man oh man do they have a bunch of backwards assholes propping up the ever radicalising conservative party.

Yeah. I know it’s superficial of me, but I have a hard time taking her or any of the plastic surgery disasters clogging up the airwaves in the US seriously due to the grotesque absurdity of what they’ve done to themselves.

It’s like trying to have the news read to you by a bunch of clowns. The disconnect between what I am seeing and what I am hearing is too big for my brain to gap.

And before anyone calls me sexist, I have similar issues with both sexes. Trying to take Trump seriously is only possible when I can’t see his spray painted melted wax doll face. Or whatever Matt Gaetz did to his mug.

Nah, we got them fancy sliding tabs on those. I was talking about loading programs from tape LOL.

Same. I remember needing converters for these newfangled PS/2 connectors. Then again, I am old enough that I remember why floppies were called floppies, and used tape for more than just backup. And hard drives being as big as a shoe box and with less storage than you now have as CPU caches.

You might be off by a couple of years there. And even if you aren’t, the 3G network those cars would’ve relied on for communications has been shut down so remotely doing anything to your 2004 car today would be impossible.

From experience: Yes. Took my mom years to get over that, and I really only think she made peace with it after my sister had her first kid. Because apparently being grandparents is more important than your kid’s future happiness.

One thing it did immediately put a stop to was the frequent reminders to me and my wife to get busy making kids, and the many, many baby-themed gifts and super inappropriate sex-related “joke” gifts we both received from them for the better part of a decade.

It’s in the Ivan the Terrible vs Alexander the great video, in the verse by Frederick the great.

Right, ERB just referenced it. TIL I guess.

Is that an Epic Rap Battles reference in the wild?
