rbesfe,

Young people don’t answer polling calls, and I’m personally expecting the highest under 30 vote turnout ever. No one can predict where this will go.

rbesfe,

We also need to incentivize people to move to somewhere other than the GTA

Drones trespassing in my property

Idk if anyone had a similar problem before, but I live in EU by the countryside, at first there were only a few but now it happens more and more often to see drones passing over my house, I am sure they are civilian drones because law enforcement has no reason to use them since the area is quiet (and honestly I doubt they would...

rbesfe,

There is a reasonable expectation of privacy though. It’s the cameras that make it illegal, not the drone intruding in the first place

rbesfe,

I saw a Hannity clip where he’s now moved from “Joe Biden was on coke during the SOTU speech” to “maybe it was a caffeine pill”. These nut jobs are getting their pants twisted over a completely imaginary scenario where the president takes caffeine…

rbesfe,

“experts warn of potential” is journalist speak for “I didn’t actually read the paper”

rbesfe,

We need to stop using the term “assault weapon” and commit to being specific. Ban mags over 10 rounds, restrict barrel lengths and calibers, implement a fucking license system, but stop calling for “assault weapon” bans.

That’s what leads to the situation up here in Canada, where guns are restricted based on how they look and not their killing potential.

rbesfe,

You get 2 bonds by drawing an impossible chemical structure in software

rbesfe,

I can clearly imagine the response from the Trumpers:

“Biden WANTED to convict his son so he could make it SEEM like the justice system is fair, when really its all RIGGED!!!”

The conspiracy mind is hard to crack, and while I like seeing a fair an impartial system at work I don’t think it will actually sway many people who think it’s corrupt.

rbesfe,

This is a shitposting community, we aren’t making real comparative arguments here

rbesfe,

The fact they chose Kevin Hart to play Roland shows how little they care about the games themselves

rbesfe,

You can pry my milk bags from my cold dead body

rbesfe,

This isn’t a standard Canadian milk bag, we still use cartons for sizes this small

rbesfe,

Animals don’t inherently deserve ethical treatment. My only gripe is the carbon emissions, so I just eat lots of chicken

rbesfe,

That’s because animals aren’t human. They should be exploited

rbesfe,

There are plenty of Conservatives who aren’t voting for Trump, they just get drowned out by the extremely loud cultists. Just look up Republicans against Trump.

rbesfe,

Did you even read the export list? There’s a reason it says “military goods” and not “weapons”

rbesfe,

This guy married his wife when he was 45 and she was 21 🤮

rbesfe,

Just because something is legal doesn’t mean the rest of us can’t judge people for doing it. It’s not illegal to be a creep.

rbesfe,

If China wants to be taken seriously on the world stage, they need to start participating in these kinds of missions. Real world powers do things that benefit the world, not just themselves.

German carmaker Volkswagen says forced labour in one of its sub-supplier's plants in China was not identified as 'no full supply chain transparency exists' (www.hrw.org)

- Volkswagen (VW) in 2023 commissioned a deeply flawed audit at a plant in China’s Xinjiang province operated by a subsidiary of Volkswagen’s joint venture with SAIC, a Chinese state-owned carmaker....

rbesfe,

How would block chain prevent a Chinese supplier from lying about where their bauxite shipments come from? The whole crypto space has shown that scams and fraud aren’t made any less prevalent when block chains are involved

I hate leaf blowers with the passion of 1000 suns.

Everywhere I am there is a guy running a leaf blower. At my house, leaf blowers everywhere all day long. At work, of course, leaf blowers blowing dirt and allergens into the air. It’s such a special noise, it goes through walls and headphones so effectively. They are the most pervasive, annoying things on the planet. I hate...

rbesfe,

As a professional, what are your thoughts on the backpack-style electric blowers?

rbesfe,

Do you honestly think it would go over well if US troops were deployed to Haiti? And is re-establishing government control in a nation run by gangs considered “dirty work”?

rbesfe,

Those are just bad strategy games then

Philanthropist who gave $30M to U Manitoba condemns 'hateful' valedictory speech, university for allowing it (www.cbc.ca)

The philanthropist behind the University of Manitoba’s largest-ever personal donation — $30 million — has denounced a speech made by a valedictorian for medicine grads and admonished the university for letting it happen....

rbesfe,

There have been massive anti-government protests in Israel, you just aren’t paying attention. I’m sure Palestinians in Gaza would protest Hamas if they weren’t busy trying to feed their families.

rbesfe,

Trump is a Nazi sympathizer, but this video has nothing to do with that. It was a headline from 1871 about German unification.

rbesfe,

Good. I’d rather not open our already overwhelmed healthcare system to people who aren’t paying into it and aren’t even citizens or permanent residents.

Conservative Plan Calls for Dozens of Executions if Trump Wins (www.thedailybeast.com)

A conservative plan for Donald Trump’s potential transition into the presidency calls for dozens of prisoners to be executed, according to HuffPost. An 887-page plan by Project 2025, led by the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation, says that if elected, Trump should make a concerted effort to execute the remaining 40...

rbesfe,

You ever heard of guerilla tactics? An authoritarian army doesn’t need to be out gunned to have a really bad time

rbesfe,

13% of democrats submitted a protest vote. That is not the same as refusing to vote for Biden in November. I hope that anyone who supports the Palestinian cause can recognize just how much worse it will get under a Trump administration.

Argentina asks to join NATO as President Milei seeks a more prominent role for his nation (apnews.com)

Argentina formally requested on Thursday to join NATO as a global partner, a status that would clear the way for greater political and security cooperation at a time when the right-wing government of President Javier Milei aims to boost ties with Western powers and attract investment....

rbesfe,

Japan and South Korea are already global partners

rbesfe,

Reality often has a left-wing bias

rbesfe,

Such as?

rbesfe,

When someone complains about a news organization having a left wing bias, it’s important to remind them that objective reporting will always look like a left wing bias

rbesfe,

Kids will be watching Telefrancais until the tapes disintegrate

rbesfe,

Pierre is far from Trump. I say this as someone who hates his guts, we need to stop ourselves from adopting American political discourse as our own.

rbesfe,

If NATO didn’t exist Putin would have started with the Baltics

rbesfe,

The only good Russian jet is a dead Russian jet

rbesfe,

Gonna be hilarious when he inevitably gets the boot from the MAGA gremlins

rbesfe,

“no matter who wins, America loses”

That sounds like both-sides to me. Biden has done some objectively great things for Americans even with a senate fighting him for the first 2 years and a Congress for the last 2

rbesfe,

I don’t believe that we are finding the Israeli healthcare system. I’m pretty sure all of our aid recently has been humanitarian assistance but I’m open to being proven wrong.

rbesfe,

How many Canadians do you know who watch CNN?

rbesfe,

Fascists tend to use anti-authority sentiment to support their own rise to power. “I’m taking power from the bad people and using it to help you!” kind of thing.

Islamic State releases photo of alleged attackers in Russia shooting (www.reuters.com)

CAIRO, March 23 (Reuters) - Islamic State released on Saturday a photo of what it said were the four attackers behind a shooting rampage that killed at least 143 people in a concert hall near Moscow on Friday, the militant group’s Amaq news agency said on Telegram....

rbesfe,

ISIS doesn’t care about other Muslims, and in fact seems to hate themquite strongly based on past actions

rbesfe,

I have a hard time believing that ISIS would give a shit about more moderate Sunnis.
