The Democrats won’t win an election while opposing fracking. O&G is far FAR too powerful to let that happen. If Harris stood firmly against fracking, then the opponent would win - be he (and it will be a he) Trump, Musk, or David “Son of Sam” Berkowitz.
No, I’m not exaggerating.
They would, and they do.
But because they’re rich and determined to play both sides of the fight, they also pour some (less) money towards the Democrats to have some leverage.
Frankly, I don’t see much of a problem with this.
They’ll sell the “Apple” charging cable for $40 or something fucking insane, but as long as you can buy and use a normal USB-C cable that does exactly the same thing, go for it.
Of course being Apple, they will probably void the warranty or add an identifier to their cables so that nothing else works. In that case, I hope the EU bankrupts them completely.
You misspelled 2026.
Jagmeet Singh has lost all authority to talk about political matters.
He’s now on the same level as Ford, Poilievre, and Smith.
As hilarious as this is, it doesn’t really address the question of whether farts will maintain their potency in a jar, or if they’ll degrade in the presence of air.
If farts never lost their potency, the entire planet should be unbearable by now.
That’s hardly fair. An extremely determined and well-organized psychopath - who happens to manipulate the premier’s office - has been working on this for a decade. Albertans are pretty fucking wishy-washy and wayyyyyy too right-wing, but the hardcore extremist hatred is being carefully stoked by Nazis. Nazis named Take Back Alberta.
You are falling exactly into their snare.
It’s a “mostly reasonable” petition that will get “mostly reasonable” people to support it. In fact, it is a direct, deliberate, methodical attack on the LGBTQ2+ community, and aimed at making them feel unsafe.
If we were going to call this reasonable and ban all religious iconography from the government, then we shouldn’t be allowed to sing God Save the King or O Canada on government property. (“God keep our land/Glorious and Free” since 1980).
This is absolutely hate-based, make no mistake.
First off, 851 people (20%) signed the petition.
“Those individuals” who raised this are undoubtedly tied back to Take Back Alberta - or at least, the organizers are.
They will do the same thing that Westlock did: Present this as a neutral “no special interests” policy, and then advertise the shit out of their rational opinion, attacking the woke extremists for forcing their issue on what should be neutral territory.
Then they’ll get about a 51% vote - not representative of the entire town, but enough to ban pride symbolism in the town.
Then they’ll move onto the next town - maybe Rocky Mountain House or Didsbury or Sexsmith or Brooks. Actually, scratch that - they won’t touch a town in Smith’s riding for now.
But over time, they’ll get the same bylaw passed in another town and another and another, until they can claim most of the rural electoral districts. Then - maybe after getting a few larger towns or even cities (Lethbridge), they’ll petition the government. “Clearly the majority of Albertans support this neutrality, so let’s make it a provincial law.”
And David Parker will sit back, chuckling in his white robe and hat, as he destroys the lives of LGBTQ2+ people, and finishes his second front - banning abortion in the province.
Just saw “The Play That Goes Wrong,” and it is a two hour masterpiece of a play within a play.
I see videos of complete productions on youtube. Go watch one.
Make no mistake - Trump would do that and more.
“Yeah, we killed her. We’d killher again if we could. Whatcha gonna do about it?”
There are more people who need transplants than there are organs, so the medical profession has to make decisions about who to deny. This was a reasonable decision, in my opinion.
Have you played Morrowind? Best Elder Scrolls game by far, in my opinion.
And so hard to play, so yeah.
Not gonna happen. It’s a lot of work, and they’d rather spend it making new games (for legitimate reasons).
OK, I know nothing about furry social interactions, but non-furry cons - comic, scifi, etc., are all generally quite welcoming.
The best advice I got as an introvert who moved to a different country was that I don’t have to be outgoing, I just have to pretend to be outgoing. Acting, essentially. It was surprising how easy it was to fake sociability, to the point that I made a few friends.
That is EXACTLY the point - to deny (either deliberately or through omission) basic sex ed to as many students as possible; to block understanding and acceptance of everything other than the straight, white, conservative christian patriarchy.
Either on the phone, or asleep at the wheel after pulling a double shift by travelling with a nonexistent second driver.
Way too common.
False equivalency.
I would. I’d force my way down your throat, hammer your cunt, and finish balls-deep in your asshole. And you’d love it, my beautiful submissive slut.
