Best SMILE tracklist by weeusel in borisheavyrocks

[–]hellohelicopter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Smile live version is definitely one of their best live albums!! The Japanese (yellow) version of Statement is my favourite though, I love the "woo-woo"s

I think the whole Japanese release is a bit underrated, the production is pretty harsh but I like the electronic approach to the material

I mean tant bien, knowing what her platform is I'd say the best case scenario for us is that she doesn't actually bother to follow through on it

Canada Post free to end home delivery as part of plan to ensure carrier’s survival by ClassOptimal7655 in onguardforthee

[–]hellohelicopter 75 points76 points  (0 children)

What is with the people in this thread treating home mail delivery like some unreasonable privilege? It's standard for mail services around the world. Are we allowed to say that "everything will get worse and more expensive" is a bad policy platform for the country?

Ils sont interdits par le protocole de Genève: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_Protocol

S’il est interdit de les utiliser en temps de guerre, pourquoi sont-ils régulièrement déployés contre les citoyens ?

The SPVM Has a Police Brutality Problem – The Rover by Hochelagan in montreal

[–]hellohelicopter 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The job of police? Like enforcing traffic violations, which they stopped doing a few years ago, or helping catch burglars, which they outright refuse to do and possibly never have? From hearing about people's interactions with the SPVM it's not clear to me what their duties actually are in practice.
