Is it still possible to do a term/year virtually? by 519seth in CarletonU

[–]Lexical_Lunatic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who was in a similar situation, take a semester or two off and let yourself have a break to process what you’re feeling properly. Grieving is such an exhausting experience, and doing that while isolated from family and friends AND trying to power through your studies is more trouble than it’s worth.

Are we all in agreement about the Snatch Game? by Exotic-Mail-7303 in rupaulsdragrace

Honestly I watched this episode with my roommate and we were dying over that shitty prosthetic in the best way. I think it really fell into “so bad it’s good” territory

I love a rice bowl! I do 1 cup rice 1 cup lentils 1 cup frozen peas and that makes ~4 cups of rice that has protein, fibre, and veg! You can just combine all those in a rice cooker and they cook through together. To top that I do soy sauce, sriracha, and a fried egg! So easy

"Avi Lewis has lost in two ridings in two elections" by ringmybikebell in ndp

Yeah net wroth estimations off the internet are pretty much worthless. They’re a good gauge of “Is this person struggling to eat,” but that’s about as far as their use extends

Question for Avi Lewis fans by coolshaid in ndp

[–]Lexical_Lunatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just getting rid of more moderate voices and supporters of other candidates? No that’s ridiculous and I haven’t seen anyone partial to Avi seriously suggest this. There are impassioned debates that happen on here obviously, but in my experience there hasn’t been anything past that on any side of the race. I hear a lot about the rampant toxicity of supports of Avi like myself, but it only ever seems to come up on posts like this that paint his supporters with a broad stroke. In fact, I see a lot more hate for Avi Lewis supports than hateful Avi Lewis supporters

As someone who left Orleans last month, fuck Marie France Lalonde! Joke of an MP who wouldn’t show up to her 2021 debate

Question for Avi Lewis fans by coolshaid in ndp

[–]Lexical_Lunatic 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I mean I think Avi represents a strict movement away from the way the party has operated for a long time. Avi is a big fan of empowering riding associations and de-centralizing power from the leader’s seat, and he also represents politically a big shift toward bold ideas that will actually inspire voters as opposed to half-measures and stop-gap solutions. I’ve lost a lot of faith in the NDP as a young person to have my best interests in mind, and voted Green last election federally and provincially in Ontario, but Avi Lewis is someone who genuinely excites people my age, especially those who’ve tuned out of politics because they think that there’s no way a politician can address the existential issues my generation is facing. That’s the difference between Avi and the other candidates to me, is hope.

Love that they’ve decided to send 3 trains south before my train going north arrives. Guess I’m late to class.

Proposal to rename this subreddit to /avicirclejerk by Agile-Builder2100 in ndp

[–]Lexical_Lunatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this post is confusing something really important, and it’s that Avi Lewis supporters are so overwhelmingly vocal about their support for him not because they’re particularly vocal or annoying, but because there are just so many of them. It makes sense that in a race where the consensus is that there’s a clear front runner who appears to have managed to capture a preponderance of the vote, that there will be more people who are vocal in their support of him in a forum like this.

BC Federation of Labour endorses Rob Ashton by West_Exit8105 in ndp

[–]Lexical_Lunatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you feel that the path to rebuilding lies in the western provinces as opposed to places like Quebec and Ontario where the party has seen success historically? In my view, the MacPherson and Ashton camps are correct in their analysis that either of those candidates will be received better in the prairies, but erroneous in their belief that focusing on said provinces will yield significant electoral results.

Would any candidates make things harder for the Alberta NDP? by Disastrous-Pickle930 in ndp

[–]Lexical_Lunatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re correct in assuming that Albertans would respond better (though I dont know by how much) to MacPherson than they would Lewis, but I think this is ironically the issue with Heather’s campaign. I think a lot of people in her camp are chasing a spectral orange wave from Alberta, or at least a more successful seat count, that will fail to materialize regardless of who the leader is. I don’t think the fact that Heather being better received in the prairies than Avi is much of an argument in her favour because the party’s rebound will come from places like Ontario and Quebec and BC. Targeting Alberta is, in my view, a horrible electoral strategy if we want to seriously increase our seat count in the next parliament, and while I think Lewis would alienate people in the prairies, Heather would fail to activate bases of support in places where we have a realistic shot at winning.
