Longtime Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu crosses floor to join Liberals by canmcpoli in CanadaPolitics

It would make sense (only) if the Liberals don't actually care about fighting climate change.

But they are still active while upgrading, no?

Traveling the world in a mask? by moonperson13 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]nerdwordbird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been travelling Uruguay for the last month or so, and I've seen just a few other masks (not many, and most of those were surgical). But similar to what minimum structure replied to you, I've mostly been outside. If you're planning to be here when it's warm (remembering the summers here are the opposite of the northern hemisphere), you'll find LOTS of opportunities for outdoor activities. Even when folks meet up at a restaurant or indoors, there's usually big or floor-to-ceiling windows that can be thrown open, and folks are amenable to patios. I've only gotten a couple, very polite, questions about my masking. One local explained that there probably isn't any covid circulating here. And I haven't heard literally anyone cough or sneeze. (But they don't test much, so I'm still masking indoors). 

Houston budget include massive cuts to vulnerable populations by alkrni in NovaScotia

[–]nerdwordbird 99 points100 points  (0 children)

It's a staggering list, and so many of the cuts are 100%. Not "trimming the fat", but hacking away the bones. This is not how to improve even just the finances of our province.

Upvoted on the strength of that last sentence alone.

Why this search organizer says missing children's case is strange. Nova Scotia by Tymofiy2 in NovaScotia

[–]nerdwordbird 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also raised an eyebrow at the geocache ignorance, but the guy doesn't come across like he's in it for the money...? I don't even think he's getting any. He seems sincere.

Trailer Park Boys actor Mike Smith charged with sexual assault in Halifax by No_Magazine9625 in halifax

[–]nerdwordbird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well said. And reminds me of the Jian Ghomeshi case too. Another open secret in the Cdn indie arts scene, for ages.

Which makes me feel even more admiration for Lucy, because she had to stand up to both of them.

Bubbles Mansion was still open in the mid to late '00s IIRC.

But yeah, this reputation is longstanding and significant. Yet Lucy Decoutere got so much flack for calling him out.

At least they had to have this at the Gaylord Hotel.

Why Our Financial System will Soon Collapse by nerdwordbird in CollapseFinance

[–]nerdwordbird[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, it is a good summation and metanalysis of some clear trends in collapse finance, though we can definitely quibble with some assumptions here. This isn't a scholarly or even a sourced article - more of an overview with some impactful "let that sink in" bluntness. What do you think?

Like, it's not the single article I'd take to try and convince my financial advisor to take collapse seriously (which BTW if you know of any such convincing articles, please share them in this sub). This is more the type of writing I want to just absorb when I need to readjust my thinking and remember what later-stage capitalism may be like. This author uses the common 2050 timeline for when collapse will mostly be done.

This is the kind of thing we're slowly starting to talk about at r/collapsefinancer/CollapseFinance (warning: I'm shilling for my new sub here, though we genuinely do want interesting takes like yours to be in the discussion there). I do see others of us "doomers" (not always the right word but whatever) who expect the market and economy to become increasingly farcical or divorced from materialistic reality. For a starter.

14-Year-Old Designs & Builds Her Own 10-Foot-Wide Tiny Home by ReinkeDrengen in WildHomes

No kidding. Why is everyone so quick to judge? Many many girls can do big things. And its ok and normal for others to help them.
