The inconsistency of apostrophe usage in English for possessives and contractions. If it was instead written…

It-s a wonderful day out today, take your phone but turn off it’s data so you can soak up the clear blue skies.

It’d be so much fucking easier and my OCD would be satiated.

It’s always a bit reassuring to see that even in private the assholes are actually just assholes and it isn’t an act they put on for the political stage. None of these fuckers are redeemable.

Nah, let them come… and then don’t let them leave.

I guess the one piece of good news? (Gosh it’s fucking slim) is that if there is a Democratic president in the future they can mandate national voting by mail if the SC doesn’t injunction this bullshit.

I agree that the N-word is far worse - I didn’t mean to equate them but to use it as a point of comparison. The really fucking hateful and widespread usages of the n-word mostly date back to the 70s - it’s now used almost exclusively by badge wearing racists… so it has had about fifty years of pop culture non-hateful uses but is still clearly unacceptable.

The R-word was seeing widespread usage a mere twenty years ago - it’s still part of the active memory of millennials and older.

An interesting comparison might be gypsy (I type it out only because I can’t think of a clear way to abbreviate it) which is seen as an unacceptable slur (especially in the verb form) which had fallen out of social use in the 50s - even that word (though it is less openly hateful) is still pretty unacceptable.

It’s a similar story for other less common racial slurs - once a word becomes such a hateful slur it seems like the most common social response is to just abandon it with reclamation being a rarity and confined to the in group in every case I can think of (the n-word and the f-word both have gained some usage within their communities but it isn’t universal… I have an extremely negative memory of the f-word which makes me uncomfortable even when people I trust use it).

If there isn’t at least one snowball to the face I’ll be disappointed in Greenland.

I’d also be cool with people reviving the tradition of throwing shoes at republican fuckers.

Fuck you nazi collaborating assholes.

Kick the fucker out.

Barring transit delayed mail-in ballots is 100% the way these fucks will steal the next election.

I hope Vermont doesn’t deregister me - thankfully voting administration is done by the individual states so they’ll likely push back on the EO but I’m absolutely not going to fly to Burlington to prove my identity in person.

I think they mean recession.

(They actually mean that word from the 90s for developmentally challenged if you’re truly unaware).

It becoming socially acceptable is a really nebulous bar - if I found myself among folks who found it acceptable I wouldn’t use it as I consider it unacceptable at a personal level - but if it’s usage completely changed in the year 2270 then sure I might use it.

The n-word and r-word will never be socially acceptable in our lifetimes and anyone who says differently is just an asshole trying to cloak their behavior. I also don’t really see a need to put effort into reclaiming either term…

In general, I think it’s a bad thing that we have words that have become unacceptable to use and I wish those words had never been so associated with hate - but they were do we are where we are.

Probably, but don’t tell them that. Also, I was originally going to suggest Surrey but fuck even that’s nearing Burnaby pricing now.

Maybe that could try and build it somewhere in the five square meters of flat land we have to offer in New West? New West Station is already themed for techy dystopianism.

Good. Don’t subsidize terrorism.

Heli-skiing is a pursuit for those with more money than sense. It’s unfortunate that people have lost their lives but I really don’t have much sympathy left in the tank for the rich.

Even without going to this signal usage as a comparison. Musk’s DOGE department is literally doing the exact same thing that Hillary did, but with more security holes.

Conservatives have no real principles. They happily engage in behavior they criticize - it’s all just about political attacks, its never about substance.

That may be a more reasonable and targeted approach. I am mainly suggesting this from a place of concern about US interference in our upcoming election.

It may be easier to have a specific list of banned outlets.

It’s practically a tradition at this point!

Will we be restricting the posting of links to foreign owned media?

Also, the nearest office is three states over.

So, some good news, when you are forced into an involuntary road trip to get your daughter or granddaughter an abortion you can use verifying your identity to social security as a cover to avoid being deported to El Salvador.

Get fucked Olympics.

Imagine how much cheaper it’d be if those factories were in Langley, Guelph, or Hamilton.
