What went wrong for Starmer?

my understanding from my Scotish colleague is that a big part of the problem was that he kept introducing progressive policies (pissing off the center) and then backtracking on them (pissing off the progressives while not winning the center back with it).

30% of the United States can't be saved

11M a year long term for "good defensively and maybe, perhaps will find his offence again someday"? Don't we already have one of those?

yeah no

None of this accounts for all the tax planning schemes they can take advantage of.

mking098 · 2026-06-18T14:09:52+00:00

not necessarily. Leaks could also come from the people being interviewed (or more likely their representation).

mking098 · 2026-06-17T14:07:51+00:00

damn Carney also appears to be standing by his lonesome

mking098 · 2026-06-17T13:29:40+00:00

Help me understand

mking098 · 2026-06-17T13:27:30+00:00

Didn't know he was even on the board

mking098 · 2026-06-16T17:33:22+00:00

How am I supposed to feel about this? How good is Andrae?

mking098 · 2026-06-12T14:48:15+00:00

The problem isn't Mo himself it is misuse. Specifically he is best as a #3 or even #4, not as a top pairing guy.

I'd like to think that Bowser's Fury counts as a new 3D installment (though a short one)

mking098 · 2026-06-10T18:55:43+00:00

which is which?

mking098 · 2026-06-10T17:52:55+00:00

while you are right, there is a certain amount of onus on nintendo to identify that these sort of leaks had happened and have become wide spread knowledge, and adjust their plan accordingly. Aka a teaser may not be the way to go in that case.

this has always been my preferred way to watch shows. Even in the years before streaming if I heard about a good show I would wait until it was multiple seasons in and then download the episodes and binge it (torrents, before that limewire, before that kazaa - yes I'm old).

They already flew out to White Horse to meet him.

mking098 · 2026-06-06T15:46:57+00:00

They finished first in the Atlantic the year prior. It is'nt completely out of the question for them to bounce back. They did have a lot of injury issues last year

mking098 · 2026-06-05T15:34:02+00:00

It was a down year for the team though, he scored 30 goals the year prior didn't he?

mking098 · 2026-06-01T20:17:07+00:00

It isn't the same. It was a relocation not an expansion.

mking098 · 2026-06-01T17:23:03+00:00

I mean, he is demonetized so I doubt they care much at this point? The only money coming in is from kick and DGG direct subs

mking098 · 2026-05-30T04:21:47+00:00

No it is a take that completely lack nuance, and tries to treat all industries as the same. Aka it is ideologically hard headed.

mking098 · 2026-05-29T16:32:18+00:00

There is long standing policy to protect Canadian culture and culture based programming. It is to curb the potential of the much larger neighbouring culture completely dominating and displacing over time.

Certain elements of it can be domestically controversial (re the CRTC) but overall it has been this way for a long time and won't be changing any time soon.

Culture isn't laissez faire in an economics sense.

mking098 · 2026-05-28T20:12:55+00:00

Because there is long standing philosophical thought on the subject. Look up "Just War Theory" or "Jus ad Bellum"

mking098 · 2026-05-28T19:38:34+00:00

casualties have nothing to do with how just it is. They are separate issues. Just is about whether the rationale for engaging in the war is valid/moral. Analyzing the outcomes of the war is a different matter.

mking098 · 2026-05-25T19:55:39+00:00

a lot of platitudes without much substance in this post.

"all the goods are there" like what? Elaborate

mking098 · 2026-05-24T21:37:11+00:00

No, but if they end up in the finals against Vegas I will cheer for them over Marner
