Republicans are bad for the economy
  • That’s why they have to do this culture war bullshit. Their actual policies are so wildly unpopular that they have to trick people into thinking they can save them from the gay trans liberal cats and dogs or something.

  • 'Of course!' Harris tells '60 Minutes' interviewer she's shot her Glock
  • I felt that this 60 minutes interview wasn’t fair AT ALL and heavily slanted toward calling the Harris/Walz campaign on the most trivial shit.

    For example, calling out Walz on the few times he’s misspoke and then asking how the voters can trust him.

    Fuck allllll the way off with that bush league line of goddamn questioning. It’s not comparing apples to apples to pretend Walz is some huge liar when Trump and Vance lie literally every time they open their mouths with egregious, dangerous and racist lies. It’s disingenuous and ridiculous “reporting”.

    Same with saying Harris’ plan would hurt the economy. Trump had Obama’s economy served up to him on a silver platter, tanked it (partial credit to Covid and the war in Ukraine as aggravating factors), and is pretending it’s all the Biden-Harris administration’s fault. Macroeconomically America is recovering from its recent economic downturn, similarly to Canada. Maybe, just maybe, the middle class is not feeling this because of wage suppression, corporate greed, price gouging and purposeful, weaponized incompetence by the Republicans in Congress.

  • Police In Canada Warn Lawyer Over Her Social Media Posts On Israel
  • I don’t know enough details about her particular circumstances to make a comment in that regard.

    I would never invite the police into my home absent a warrant. The conversation would be discontinued as soon as they could not charge.

    I understand she’s upset but being emotional about it and yelling about it is not helping her long term. IANAL but don’t talk to the cops without sound 3rd party representation.

    I agree with her filming, however.

  • I should not feel guilty
  • Don’t beat yourself up. The hardest and best lesson I ever learned is that you cannot control the actions of another adult, full stop.

    Even when you know they are on a destructive path. Even when you have the answers.

    You can voice your concern and keep trying to do so, but you cannot control what another adult does or chooses not to do.

    It’s not on you to keep another adult safe. Don’t put that on yourself.

  • What's your personal little conspiracy theory?
  • Take it one step further and that sense of wonder is why I feel the powers that be reacted swiftly to squash psychedelics and shut down all research into them, unless the research benefitted the national security cartel, of course.

    It’s difficult for rulers to maintain capitalist control when you can eat a piece of paper and have the wonders of the universe revealed to you and realize that it’s supposed to be about loving other humans. Makes neverending consumption and 9-5 work seem really lame in comparison.

  • What's your personal little conspiracy theory?
  • My city has a local company that rents storage units and they have entirely too many locations relative to the population of our city such that I believe they’re a criminal enterprise. I believe they construct so many new buildings for money laundering purposes and to facilitate human trafficking and drug running out of them.

    Breaking news, I just googled them and one of the owners was convicted in his 20s of trying to sell poached falcons to Saudi Arabian royalty. The plot thickens.

  • Donald Trump’s foul-mouthed migrant rant captured in private pitch to donors
  • Trump often uses the Royal “we” to confuse. When he does this he’s talking about himself.

    So when he talks about “the last election we ever have” He means the last election HE will have - because he’ll be too old and in jail and unable to run again.

    This is also projection - recall that he urged voters they’ll only need to vote one more time. He 100% will attempt to install himself and his family as permanent dictators if elected and the Supreme Court will let him do it. Don’t believe he won’t and don’t believe Republican lawmakers aren’t craven enough to facilitate this. He looks up to Putin and Kim Jong-Un because he thinks they have a sweet deal as dictators for life.

  • This AliExpress circular needle kit is actually... good?

    I bought this kit from Aliexpress. I’m not very picky about my needles, but I do have have the Chiaogoo red ones. I wanted a set to travel with and these seem good so far, which is kind of surprising.

    Price $38.38 Canadian

    3-8mm needles

    Just in case anyone’s in the market for some needles.

    Wait, Not All Wine Is Vegan?
  • My husband is extremely allergic to eggs. We’re not vegan but we often eat vegan and buy vegan products to make our lives easier. He doesn’t drink red wine because of this. I’m kind of shocked that they don’t need to divulge this on their labels. Sulphites are labelled, but for an allergen that can actually make people very ill it’s so weird that it’s not a requirement like with food products.

    He notices this with craft beer as well, though not to the same extent as red wine. We used to go to craft beer fests all the time and sometimes he would get a terrible stomach ache and heartburn out of nowhere. We looked it up and egg white albumen can be used to increase the foaminess of craft beer.

    I really wish we could improve the labelling requirements in North America. We often see food that is labelled vegan but “may contain” egg or other very non vegan products. I don’t think that’s good enough for vegan people and it’s certainly not good enough for my husband as cross-contamination is a very real concern. Just Egg has this issue - it shares equipment with things that contain egg.

    Vegans 💪 egg allergic people

  • Doug Ford says to get off your ass and get working to the unhoused
  • Web developer, heavier on the front-end side.

    I think it’s difficult because companies know they can hire someone with 2 years of experience to do similar work.

    In his experience a lot of the job postings are not real or have hundreds and hundreds of applicants and multiple rounds of interviews. I’m not quite sure how to help and I’m trying to be patient and go easy on him. It shouldn’t be this hard.

    Cheaper Case for Libra Colour (Canada)

    Just ordered this one from Amazon and it’s good!

    It doesn’t have the standing ability so if you’re looking for that wait longer. I’m just looking for something to protect it when I throw it in my purse.

    It’s got a pen holder and magnetic wake/sleep.

    Spring/Summer Light Hoodie

    Just finished this. Took about a month. The pattern is free!

    Since it’s unisex I used a Caron cotton cake in DK I think and knit the small size. I followed the guidance on the label for needle size. It started as an experiment and ended as a happy accident.

    Also, I modified by adding the panel in the hood and icord string.

    www.ctvnews.ca Pilots describe 'bizarre' lights and 'triangles' over Canada in air traffic control audio

    At least four flights reported 'multiple lights sometimes in a triangle formation' high above the Canadian Prairies one morning earlier this month, according to air traffic control audio obtained by CTVNews.ca.

    Help with Feker Alice98 original factory driver

    Hi - don't judge. This is my first mechanical keyboard and I'm playing around with something in budget that meets my needs as a beginner. I know it's not the best but I'm genuinely looking for help and knowledge here.

    Yes, I know the allegations about the software/drivers for this keyboard being flagged as malware and have done research into this, though apparently not enough research. I downloaded what I thought was the driver for this keyboard but did not realize that it was a Via driver that broke the battery indicator and any possible connection to the (apparently terrible) software.

    Would anyone have access to the original driver so I can roll the keyboard back to factory settings? The factory setting reset (function + esc 3 sec) doesn't roll back these changes. I tried to download one on Weiyun based on advice from the other site but everything is in Chinese and it does not seem to work.

    Alternatively, does anyone know who I might contact to obtain this driver? I contacted the seller on AliExpress but they are spotty at best.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Mike Turner’s Involvement with Radiance Technologies

    X-Post from the other site; text below if you don’t want to visit. Found this interesting and didn’t see it 3 months ago when it was posted by u/UrdknotWreav:

    By now we all know Mike Turner is the DOD's knight in shining armor, who's gonna protect the DOD's fragile and brittle reputation, from the hordes of savages who are demanding more hearings.

    The below publicly available information about Mike, might become handy at some point.

    To summarize:

    So Mike Turner, helped funding Radiance technologies. The company where both Travis Taylor and Jay Stratton are currently employed. Jay Stratton, Travis Taylor and David Grusch all have worked together in the UAPTF.... WTF?

    We have Mike Turner in the center, connected somehow to Radiance Technologies, Wright Patterson AFB, Department of Energy, receives shitloads of money from Lockheed Martin and other defense companies.

    As you can see there's way more to Mike Turner than meets the eye. Is he perhaps one of the gatekeepers?

    TIL Canada’s Mint has released several UAP/UFO-themed coins

    I find it fascinating that Canada’s mint would even recognize these incidents.

    Coworker/Friend makes her kids her personality and won’t stop talking about them.

    I’m pretty close with this person outside of work and we used to have good non-work conversations but now I feel all I get is stories and photos of her children. We work in a tight knit team so I can’t really avoid them.

    I got no less than 3 updates this weekend about a sports event with her kids including photos; more photos and another update about said event this morning; another photo of another child; updates about what her toddler was doing, and updates about how her kid made the track and field team and she absolutely needs to take time off work to go.

    I don’t ask for this and I don’t really respond when she does it. I prefer to talk about other things. We used to talk about other things and now it’s kids 99% of the time to the point where it feels really one-sided. I tried to talk about a concert I went to this weekend and got really lukewarm reception.

    I’m thinking I need to tone it down and say goodbye to the relationship/chit chat for a while? I feel if I tell her bluntly I’m tired of hearing about her children it will hurt her feelings. Any ideas?
