People who choose to live in rural areas are always going to be more wasteful and require subsidization from urban people’s taxes. Putting them all in golf carts was never going to solve that.

Urban taxes pay for suburban and rural services all across the continent. Suburbanite and rural residents cost more to support than they pay in taxes.

I hope some rigorous investigation will make a difference. It really feels like this should be criminal, or a violation of the province’s obligation to the federal government to implement health care.

Very confusing title for a video game that is literally all about bosses.

What are you even afraid is going to happen? Cannot wrap my head around this.

Why should the “character of the neighborhood” not change with the rest of the world? Your concerns seem so petty next to the concerns of the people who need that housing. If you’re so well off that you can afford to worry about such trivial concerns, then why don’t you use your vast privilege to move somewhere that suits you better? Someplace expensive where they don’t have sidewalks at all so you don’t have to be bothered about other people’s struggle to survive.

It isn’t so much a front end as a privacy-enhancing proxy service. You can’t participate, you can only consume. If our governments are going to conduct their interactions with us on fucking Twitter, we need services like this. Or we need our states to stop neglecting our need for online infrastructure and punting to capital interests.

The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are owed the same unconditional love and protection. The experiences of animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own. It harms us when we take pleasure in cruelty and violence.

Are you sure this isn’t just a way of distracting yourself from an atrocity against animals that you are participating in that you do not have to? Your choices are not inevitable.

“Factory farming” refers specifically to industrial scale animal agriculture. Animal agriculture does not produce calories, it consumes them. It is a way of refining safe, cheap, sustainable plant products into harmful, expensive, addictive luxury products. Factory farming is not necessary to feed the country, it is a way of exploiting humans and non-human animals more effectively to grow capital.

Yeah, well, your opinion clearly isn’t informed by much. But you’re awfully fucking confident about it, even think it is “cold hard truth”. Lurk moar.

But you understand that American late-stage capitalism does not prevent you from conducting yourself in a way that is not cruel and violent towards farmed animals, right? It really seems like you are trying to make yourself think about a different subject so that you can avoid thoughts and emotions that you are unwilling to process. You would hardly be unique in that respect, you can witness people doing it every day.

To be clear, there is a moral imperative not to treat sentient creatures as property.

A former University of Waterloo student accused of attacking a gender-studies class with a knife last summer — sending an associate professor and two students to hospital — now faces 11 terrorism charges.

Maaaaaan, I wish I had someone like that in my life right now that I could feel really good about telling off.

I spent a lot of time and money on games this year and I haven’t played any of those, haven’t even heard of some of them. I doubt that interests anyone to hear but I said it anyway.

Democracy governing with good sense and moral integrity? That sounds a lot like entropy reversing itself. Possible in theory, but requires access to an infinite number of random universes to actually witness.

Just trying to save your life. It’s not rude, it’s just contrary to the interests of the capital that raised you and constructed your entire environment.

Geese catch bird flu from the factory farms you buy your cruelty and violence from. Soon, you will, too.

It is not necessary that someone be “the worlds biggest [commercial] artist”. That’s literally Swift selling everyone else out to cash in and personally benefit from the destruction of our communal resources. For her personal benefit. That is exactly the fucking problem, you can’t hold that up to defend her choices.

If I want to invade a country, people will die. But that can’t be helped, that’s just the cost of things. What, you expect me not to invade a country? But I WANT to. That’s how I make my money!! Surely that is the most important consideration.
