Give me your olives then. I don’t mind

Don’t worry, single issue voters are very rare. They’re being loud right now on Lemmy, but I honestly don’t see them anywhere else. I’m pretty sure at least a third are paid actors too, but I can’t prove that.

That would be fine if they were trying to reverse ALL personal vehicle adoption, but nooo.

The problem with this is that this will encourage Canada to do the same, like the good little brother it is, and we’ll get fucked along with y’all -_-

Probably most. You’d see 1000s of articles every day non-stop, if 20%+ of people were this disgusting.

The fact that you can still be surprised is proof that most of them aren’t this disgusting.

Oh I meant sip, not finish a whole glass. I’m not trying to kill them lol

Dude is legit running out of lawyers to hire lmao

It’s the original “I moved things with my FREAKING MIND!!!” From Forspoken

That’s not gonna do more than a drop in the bucket. Y’all’s government thinks tech can fix something that good pedestrian-first infrastructure should fix. That’s kinda wack.

Vehicle sizes, hood clearance, non-car-centric infrastructure mandates, that’s the sort of things rules should include. Not “let’s have AI decide if the pedestrian or cyclist lives”

No, because he was against the whole ethnicity, not just the state.

We also use it to weigh down our fishing lines… because we’re that smart.

First past the post voting, two party system means that mathematically, you are placing half a vote on Biden and half a vote on Trump by abstaining democracy doesn’t exist in the United States. Sorry you had to learn it this way. It’s also on its way out over here in Canada, don’t worry we’re catching up :(

Alternatively you could vote for whoever has the best platform LOCALLY in YOUR country, whoever that may be, and send angry letters letting them know that while you support some of their policies, you are uncomfortable with the president’s lack of support for a cause you consider just.

If we’re talking countries that are being attacked without cause, should we talk about how Trump doesn’t want to support Ukraine’s defense? You literally only care about one issue, don’t you? This whole election is riding on one point in a thousand possible issues to consider.

Every option you have is a vote for Genocide. Encouraging genocide is a bipartisan act. Ignore every bipartisan issues to select who you will vote for, otherwise you won’t be allowed to complain about the results for 4 whole years.

You wouldn’t want to not have an excuse to complain, would you?

In Quebec, we have a saying that I would like to share with you. It comes from our love for complaining. We are completely addicted to complaining about everything. It’s our third national sport after Hockey and curling.

“If you don’t vote, you can’t complain”

If you vote for a person and they don’t do the promised thing, you can complain. You have an excuse reason.

If you vote for a person and someone else gets elected, you can complain that the person you voted for would have done a better job.

If you do NOT vote, you didn’t do shit. You didn’t do the strict minimum. You have no excuse to complain about any of it, because you did not participate in the decision.

Mine comes from the many Hydroelectric barrages we have here in Quebec, because we ended our use of coal and methane for generating electricity. 99% of our electricity is Hydro and the rest is wind/solar. I think maybe we have one methane plant somewhere but I don’t know for sure.

The US have basically every climate on the planet at your disposal except the poles. You could create new interesting ways to generate electricity cleanly, but your government doesn’t. It baffles the mind.

And then even with coal and methane, burning it at the station in troves is still less damaging than burning gasoline or diesel in individual vehicles because of the tiny bit of carbon the stations that are well run manage to capture (It ain’t much, but it’s more than an F150 that’s for sure)

I agree that cars should become a niche thing, not used by everyone to get everywhere. That’s completely unsustainable, but it’ll take at least 20 years of good governance for the US to be connected in a meaningful way by fast, frequent, convenient public transportation. Until then, the people who are stuck unable to move closer to work for various reasons will still need to drive, and EV are a good option for more than 80% of them.

I would just remove one word from everyone you wrote. “Unprecedented”

Look up how much time it took to build the initial interstates. Same shit in Canada and the Trans-canada highway. It didn’t take centuries to build, it won’t take centuries to fix either.

Basically the out of a simple pull of the trigger is too easy. Easier than jumping off a bridge, relatively painless, quick and doesn’t injure bypassers.

Having the gun is too easy an out, so people with suicidal thoughts will stay away from them. I was like that too at 22. Here’s just one of many stories. Trigger warning for suicide (duh)

If Quebec, Canada had the same access to handguns as the US, I would be dead today. Simple as that. Instead, I failed an attempt to jump from a viaduc because I was scared of causing a collision and taking someone else with me, was sent to the hospital by the police, got a psychiatrit’s help. Turns out I wasn’t a lazy worthless piece of shit. I had an untreated, very powerful case of ADHD blocking me from accomplishing anything of value.

I am no longer suicidal. I’ve overcome that. However, I always worry that those feelings will one day come back after a series of bad decisions. I am, therefore, keeping things that would kill me in an instant without pain away from myself. You just never know when you’ll have a moment of weakness. If I thought to off myself once, I can think of it again.

I don’t think Poilievre is about to round up people and send them to camps. He’s only out for the money.

They have lots of time and motivation, as well as zero shits to give about getting caught. It’s Actually a pretty good thing that kids are trying to bypass security because it naturally teaches them problem solving in a novel way
