Let? How about helped and fucking cheered on!?

When the Republicans control the House or Senate plus various major sources of disinformation disguised as news… not easily

And/or weaponize it for his buddies to do so instead…

Yeah, I think a lot of the parallels in Canada is that the failure here is with the NDP, not the Liberals or Conservatives. Overall, those two parties haven’t changed, but at some point - post Layton - the NDP apparently decided to go down that same identity politics road, while similarly abandoning the general working class. Maybe they felt they just weren’t getting enough votes with the latter and there were enough who felt strongly about such social issues, but FFS they could have at least tried harder to support BOTH.

I’m honestly starting to wonder if the reason they’ve continued to support the Liberals is not so much a fear of z Conservative government, but rather if there’s some dirt the Liberals have on NDP leadership to keep them on a leash. Nothing else really explains why they’ve continued down this path of political suicide.

Oh dear. Imagine if they figure out how to use mene-GIFS next.

I actually just use the cold even in my own bathroom. A bit of frosty water cools the O-Ring after a meal with a biiiiit too much hot sauce, or when that slight lactose-intolerance flares up.

But the heated seat on a good quality bidet… that’s amazing

Also: religion

The two align in that more kids both more people to work themselves to death for cheap, more uneducated voters, and more parishioners to pay tithes

Yeah. He looks like one until he opens his mouth and then proves it… regularly

IIRC, it wasn’t that “she liked lipstick and dudes” but essentially that her thoughts of Narnia became “oh, that funny game we played as kids”.

It’s not her gender or orientation, it’s that she lost her belief in an effort to become more “adult”. The lipstick and boys bit is more to emphasize this.

Narnia is apparently like Neverland in this regard. You stop believing and the magic is gone.

In practice, would that be like being atheist but still celebrating Hannukah or Christmas?

Or is it just Jewish heritage from a lineage perspective regardless of one’s perspective/practice on religion/god?

Well obviously the restaurants should all just feel extremely gifted that such a prestigious person was gracing their establishment

/s but that’s probably their thought pattern

Well it does mention the Hezbollah hiding among civilians without any notation there, so it kinda reads like “how dare these crazies fire at the terrorists hiding behind civilian shields” (without noting the terrorist part and kinda brushing over the civilian shields).

Both sides are pretty despicable in this conflict

It’s interesting that they call the Israeli government psychos and not those hiding behind civilians in a residential neighborhood… especially given that the letter behavior is specifically done to be able to make accusations of the former.

I always looked Galaxy Quest’s take on this:

“But the pig-beast is inside out… and now it has exploded.”

Yeah ya’ll laugh until the wolves with spotlights come ;-)

This just in: car impacts with deer down by 50%, but deer becoming a snack to wolves at night is up 100%

Yeah, a bank isn’t going to give your a $500k mortgage on a $200k property, so if they give you a $500k loan on stock then that’s the value given to the stock at that point.

Yeah, I’m generally ok if somebody is charging a reasonable rent which covers their reasonable mortgage, so long as they’re still taking care of all the other stuff (repairs, city taxes, etc).

What burns me is people who either a) knowingly buy in a hot, excessively priced market with full intent to charge excessive rents while providing absolutely minimal service or support

b) bought 10+ years ago but have pumped up rents to the same as those who bought at mortgages 2-3x the rate, citing “market rates” and often doing sketchy things to raise rents including renovictions etc, while being shitty - often absentee - slumlords

Maybe I’m showing my age, but there did used to be quite a good number of mom & pop type landlords who weren’t shit, and while the commercial ones cost a bit more there was a decent mix.

Now, the commercial ones are actually mostly a safer bet in small cities. They’ll raise rent every year but consistently, and the decent ones are pretty prompt about repairs and not fucking people over deposits etc. There are bad ones but it’s pretty easy to tell which are which. The problem is of course that availability at the good ones is lower and they do cost more.

Good private landlords are increasingly hard to come by, as the best ones generally end up quitting after either getting too old or after a bad tenant experience, while the slumlords have leveraged their existing properties to finance buying more and more, leading to a market full of increasingly overpriced mould-monsters.

Strange, the words i think of are more like: “narcissistic” “obnoxious” & “asshole” with a side of “moron” thrown in
