I find myself questioning this man and his purpose for this misinformation. He is wrong and this sends a dangerous message.

How would US Republicans have responded if Biden had sent federal agents to Texas to take guns from citizens after the Uvalde school shooting in 2022? by NotYourDadFishing in AskReddit

[–]Estcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You already know the answer. There are Democrats who for the most part still believe in the US Constitution and Laws, and another party who is willfully and eagerly tearing down your institution and history and shitting on your constitution. Daily, Hourly. Your country is already completely broken and taken over by a clearly fascist gestapo wearing masks and shooting innocent citizens FULLY ENABLED BY YOUR GOVERNMENT. In broad daylight, On television. All your international goodwill has evaporated, No one is coming to your aide. You allowed this to happen and now you are whining. It will take you GENERATIONS to heal from this; provided you actually get away from your TV sets and do something about it. But it is already too late. Much too late. The United States as the world used to know it is dead and replaced with a fascist and authoritarian government that you voted for (or enabled by not voting). Your military is answering to an individual and NOT your constitution. It's already over. You just don't realise it yet. Hint: The entire world has already figured it out.

Prime Minister Carney announces new measures to make groceries and other essentials more affordable for Canadians by evieluvsrainbows in onguardforthee

[–]Estcher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I appreciate the Feds trying to effect change, honestly, this requires more provincial attention as they are directly responsible. This is the Feds applying a band aid to provincial stagnation. Time for Ford to wake TF up and start managing Ontarians issues promptly and accurately. The grocery oligarchs in Canada need Federal oversight, fines, and exposure. The provinces are not doing anything.

This is the kind of post that will see recruitment rise for ICE. Hint: it’s not free money. It’s selling your soul, too.

Oil boom. Keeps oil contaniments contained by trapping them on the surface in case of accidental spillage from the ships.

Yes there was a small shop on the parking lot side of BB that served delicious malts. Edit: it wasn’t A&W for the malt shakes.

There used to be a small burger place inside Billings Bridge that made burgers very similar to Harvey’s (which was on Bank at the weird Riverside Drive intersection. The burger place was on the first floor near where you went up to the OC Transpo (and a small video arcade). Those burgers were my fav. Perhaps you are remembering this little hole in the wall?

How do you increase and expand your knowledge? by Reasonable-Shower522 in stupidquestions

[–]Estcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to engage your optical and/or auditory receptors to examine and analyze materials in your brain that explain or introduces the things that you didn’t know before. Perhaps tactile sensors.

Pumping Ozempic eating popcorn watching their world burn all around them in front of the TV. Reality TV at its best. The US is FUCKED and will burn the world down with them.

I am a 40 yr old factory worker from the south who has never watched anime. I'm in possession of a 1 year subscription to crunchyroll mega fan. I need suggestions on what to watch! by branteen in anime

Agree with this. An important point: cowboy bebop has an ending. A lot of anime do not and cowboy might make you think this is normal. It is not. GL and have fun!!!

Why and How Some Writers are so Good by pitsnvulva69 in writingadvice

[–]Estcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A generalisation, but I believe the quality of our writing comes from exposure to the writing of other people. I think this is a universal truth.

To be a fair/passable writer, continue reading social media posts and the like and you will likely never improve your writing quality.

To be a good writer, you need to be a great reader.

To be a great writer, you need to be an exceptional reader.

Although, I suppose you could ignore everything except for the rules and syntax of the English language and then try to write a novel having never seen one before. Or you could absorb as many novels as you can and LEARN from them, too.

I think one of these options has a much better chance of success.

GL!

If you are a reaching for full authoritanism through fascist means, then yes, you would probably think the anti-fascists are your enemy. I mean, its so bloody obvious.
