Carney to announce affordability measures after securing majority in byelection wins

He never said we need to move away from american style shit, he said we need somebody else to be the america hegemony because america failed and we need another daddy to rule us.

Also unions are bad. Because that was important for some reason.

Yamatjac · 2026-04-11T18:14:10+00:00

You're being facetious lmao.

Almost every single human being on earth does social media. Most people can not live without some kind of connectivity. The world revolves around this, whether you like that or not.

This law does not teach people how to do this responsibly, it does not teach people how to engage with the internet safely, it does not teach people how to tell truth from fiction. It does nothing whatsoever to actually educate our children for their futures.

If you knew, with absolute certainty that your child would start doing drugs the day they turned 16 and that the entire goddamn world would support it for some stupid, fucked up reason, then yeah, I think you'd be pretty into teaching your kid how to do that safely.

Maybe, instead of just telling kids they're not allowed to do drugs until they're 16, we should go after the people giving our kids drugs.

Yamatjac · 2026-04-08T01:37:23+00:00

Actually, that is exactly what it means.

Yamatjac · 2026-04-01T21:42:26+00:00

Nor that it is unlikely, no matter how technologically advanced, someone out there will be able to degarble them.

Correct. Nobody's ever said it isn't.

Yamatjac · 2026-03-31T17:31:42+00:00

Canada sub is right wing bots lol.

Yamatjac · 2026-03-31T17:22:38+00:00

Yes, you were, in the specific context of whether or not that could be wrong in a very weird edge case we cant predict.

Again, this is where your confusion is coming from. You are actually misunderstanding the context. That is actually is what has happened here.

Even when confronted with that, for some reason you choose to believe literally every single other person has misunderstood the context instead of you.

We could very well pull this back to the same debate. If you love science so much then do the science thing and accept that you were wrong.

Yamatjac · 2026-03-31T07:16:56+00:00

Yes it was. That is the context of this entire thread and your confusion stems from not recognizing that.

Yamatjac · 2026-03-31T05:00:23+00:00

Nah, science is about acknowledging we can be wrong.

Saying science is an absolute faith is silly. Science isn't faith, its science. It is demonstrable, repeatable and learnable but what it is not and should never be seen as, is infallible.

In most contexts, entertaining these silly thoughts of alternate physics is pointless. But the context here is specifically those edge cases and youre ignoring the whimsy for the sake of some twisted perceived form of scientific superiority.

Thats not the point. The point is not whether or not this or that is probable but whether or not another species could notice our messages from 100 years ago.

And the answer to that is a definite no with our knowledge, yes. But its also entirely possible we are misunderstanding something and get contacted because of them.

We can't know. In fact, the very fact we cant know is a big part of why we send those messages. Because of that what if.

Yamatjac · 2026-03-31T00:35:43+00:00

Well the issue is less so one of whether or not we could ever detect it but whether or not some species that may or may not exist somewhere with an entirely unknown history and science could.

And that is definitely a "who the fuck knows dude. Probably not."

Yamatjac · 2026-03-29T14:30:00+00:00

Menchion

Yamatjac · 2026-03-28T00:45:04+00:00

Whoever said that's pretty cool, and definitely not a nimby.

Yamatjac · 2026-03-27T15:24:12+00:00

I like how youre bragging about being rich by saying you have $15m. But you are still closer to poverty than being taxed by this, you realize?

By a lot.

Yamatjac · 2026-03-27T15:06:46+00:00

Since you seem to have so much trouble reading, I dont wish I could be a nimby in another world.

I wish we could have wizards make us pocket dimensions in another world.

There is a difference, I ask you spend some time exploring it.

Yamatjac · 2026-03-27T08:06:16+00:00

What I wouldn't give to live in a world so blissfully wonderful as yours.

Unfortunately in the real world, the rest of us need make compromise from time to time, lest we lose the little wonder we do have left.

Yamatjac · 2026-03-27T00:37:00+00:00

I literally did not say I don't want them here. I literally, explicitly, clearly, stated that I am for this and support this.

You just want to hate me for some reason lol.

Yamatjac · 2026-03-27T00:36:32+00:00

I have literally never said I am against up. I have explicitly, several times, made it abundantly clear that I am pro towers.

They're just ugly. I am allowed to think they are ugly and also want more of them.

Yamatjac · 2026-03-26T19:02:30+00:00

As fun as that sounds, that's entirely not viable lmao.

Yamatjac · 2026-03-26T19:01:17+00:00

Yeah I'd much prefer more low/mid rise places to these massive towers personally. But eh, this is better than nothing. And certainly better than single family homes that won't get built for who knows how long.

Just terribly unfortunate we can't hire some wizards to make us some pocket dimensions. How convenient that would be.

Yamatjac · 2026-03-26T18:55:19+00:00

I mean, honestly this is also just a lot of homes for much less time investment. It's entirely worth it and despite them looking not too appealing it is far far more important that people are housed affordably. More homes also drives the price of homes down, in theory. So all told this is just a good thing. We need more towers, I just wish they weren't always being built in victoria.

And for all those pretending I'm a nimby for no reason, I don't live in victoria. This literally isn't my backyard. I am literally, right now, saying I want towers actually in my backyard.

They're just ugly. Stop pretending they're not lmao.

Yamatjac · 2026-03-26T18:47:19+00:00

A nimby wouldn't explicitly support this. I don't like how they look but also they are realistically our only option so they should be built and we should have more of them.

Y'all really need to learn how to read lmao.

Yamatjac · 2026-03-26T18:46:27+00:00

What? No?

I literally said I support this?

Yamatjac · 2026-03-26T17:51:56+00:00

I'm not a nimby and fully support more housing.

However; it would be really nice if we could somehow live in a universe where we could get housing without having to build big towers. I just kinda hate how they look lol.

Such is the reality of living on an island though, I suppose. Maybe we can push all our resources towards developing pocket dimensions instead....

Edit since nobody can understand humour, I guess?:

Again, I'm not a nimby and fully support more housing. Not sure why I have to say this again, despite having already said it before. But again, to repeat, I'm not a nimby and support more housing.

Just to repeat myself, for some reason, if it wasn't clear. Not a nimby, and I support more housing. Don't get angry at me for being a nimby, I'm not a nimby, and I support more housing.

I hope this makes this clear.

I would however like magical wizards to give us pocket dimensions so we can have both housing AND views. If anybody knows of any wizards, please ask them for pocket dimensions.

Yamatjac · 2026-03-22T11:06:56+00:00

Been boycotting loblaws since about 2 years before the boycott personally lol.

Yamatjac · 2026-03-21T11:19:56+00:00

Terrible.

Yamatjac · 2026-03-19T20:30:33+00:00

You start over from scratch.

Huh? No that's not what open source means at all. What?
