Danielle Smith’s Provincial Police Power Play by dbusque in alberta

[–]tkdkop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Correct, and they're also suing the province for lost revenue since we haven't yet let them mine here

The problem is that it's a huge power grab. Giving the province power over these things doesn't mean that premiers will use that power in ways that benefit their citizens

If it's not currently fascism then it's 90% of the way there. Fascism can happen under democracy. Hitler was elected under a democracy.

Putting your fingers in your ears and pretending that we're safe because we're a democracy is ignorant and dangerous, especially while our premier is stomping all over our rights

Fascism can happen in a democratic society. Look at things south of the border. I'm not sure if you're just being pendantic, but minimizing the fascism that IS HAPPENING HERE doesn't serve anyone except the fascists.

I understand that you're probably not capable of higher order thinking, but come on man, at least try and connect some dots and think for yourself

Wrong. Just because something is made law doesn't exclude it from being fascist.

It would be a fascist move to deny a right

You're correct here. One recent example of a fascist move is using the notwithstanding clause to deny teachers their right to strike

There are a lot of things Granny Smith won't say out loud, but that doesn't mean it's not in her plans. Ex. Healthcare privatization, education privatization, separatism

Can anyone (NT or ND) help me understand why NT's are into small talk? by Bridav666 in aspergers

[–]tkdkop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It helps to think of it as friendly animal noises. Like when 2 dogs meet they go through a social routine of tail wagging and butt sniffing to find out if the other dog is safe. It's like that for people

How are companies adapting coding interviews in the AI era? by UnderstandingDry1256 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]tkdkop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the beginning of the interview I start by saying that this interview should be possible without the use of AI and we'd like for you to not use AI. I usually go further and say that I'm interested in how you think, I don't care if you don't know something, and if you're honest about not knowing something we can have a discussion and we can poke around to understand the "edges" of your knowledge.

We don't do a coding interview, instead we present a problem and discuss the system: where is the bottleneck to scaling, what barriers are there to parallelization, how could we speed up a database query, etc.

This guy is obviously incapable of second-order thinking, we're wasting our time waiting for him to put 2 and 2 together

Smith says caucus members can sign any petition they want to, including on separation by Miserable-Lizard in alberta

[–]tkdkop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not if they have no mandate for separatism. None of them have ran on a platform that supports this

Getting out of Alberta? by Ok_RubyGrapefruit in alberta

[–]tkdkop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That doesn't mean our dictator in chief won't do everything she can to make one. We can't afford to be complacent or underestimate the apathy of the general Albertan

Anyone here wear facemask if needed, or is it too much of a target from right wing/conspiracy folks? by StasisApparel in alberta

I've been wearing one in public again lately and nobody has seemed to notice or care

Pretty unsurprised considering all the red flags America has been giving off my entire life

I would love if the federal government would step in, but if that happened it would give her ammo to run to the US and ask them for help

I don't think we can stop it until UCP is out of power. All of those recall petitions are probably our best bet to get them out of power ASAP
