Smith: I always stay focused on issues
Reporter: Smith says she only meant that Guilbaut (?) should be fired…
So, no capability of self-reflection or consistency. Stereotypical populist.

Even rabbits are smart enough to build 2 exits in their tunnels if they’re of any size at all. The weather also isn’t a big deal, so a track that’s been cleaned, and doesn’t have moon dust dragged onto it, shouldn’t need cleaning every other week.
Even the ones on the far side.
The West reacted far more strongly and assertivelly than last time around.
This could he because they saw how WWII started and realized that the only smart move was stopping it before they built momentum. What surprises me is that Putin thought everyone would just let it happen in spite of the historical outcomes.
Reagan proved conclusively that an effective government can have a dementia patient as the figurehead. It isn’t ideal, but the people he is surrounded by make a huge difference.
Now, I’m not saying I agree with the policies his presidency promoted, but it was still effective
What, terror offenses might get me sentenced to life in the UAE? That’s pretty serious, I don’t think I could handle that much heat.
That title could definitely be written better.
Well shit, now I feel like a bit of an ass. Sorry for the snark.
A whole screen of text and you didn’t even finish the first sentence of my comment, and don’t appear to have read the second to last one…
I mean, Russia would gain a country’s worth of land if Europe and America would just fuck off, so I’d say he has as much to gain as any given billionaire in America and Europe. And politically weakening your opponents by sowing division among their electorate seems like a relatively easy way to do it. Hell, there’s even a book about it.
Certainly, those billionaires have been pushing in the same direction, but I think they have help.
I just love the people who go crazy when the government passes a law that people are sure will be unconstitutional, and of course the latest time the Liberals did it Poilievre was all over it, then when says he will not only pass unconstitutional laws but will use the Notwithstanding clause to keep them, they are suspiciously silent.
Poilievre isn’t an idiot, for all his other failings. Just because he hasn’t outright said how far he’s willing to take things doesn’t mean he doesn’t have plans to. It has the potential to be very bad.
I’ve never used one in my life, but I feel like it would have more impact in a language with writing rules such as Spanish’s.
And also the sexy agent thing.
Yeah, I’m not sure why so many adults try so desperately to forget what they were like as kids and teenagers. Rather than stop their biological urges, curb them or direct them towards safe release. Letting them figure it out on their own, and how else can they if you don’t actually teach them, is a recipe for disaster.
Two of the best ways to reduce teen pregnancy are sex education and easy access to contraceptives.
This could be the right time to use an interrobang.
Edit: no need to repeat myself. I think European would have been a more reasonable label.
Right or wrong, looking at that map, it’s hard to say those are delusions.
Cool. I’m not sure what that has to do with the continent, though. Politically, I’m uncertain if that would count as something other than colonization, either.
I’m beginning to doubt the accuracy of the labeling…
Imagine my surprise when I learned that Europe was adjacent to Japan.
The other response said it well enough, but I’ll go a step further.
MS made a tradition of moving functionality around in their OS for no other reason that I could glean than grouping things in an at least superficially comparable group and absolutely not where it was in the last version, merely so that certification from the previous version wouldn’t apply to the current one. They would do similar things with their Office application menus, in one version moving them around based on how often you used them (try doing phone support with that!), in another replacing them with little pictures that pretended they were related to their functionality, and again moving them around every version apparently for the sake of requiring recertification.
To top it all off, they would also not give you access to the old menuing systems. You could argue bloat, but that would be ignoring the massive piles of it they added for the sake of animating their new menus alone (which has value, to a degree).
I’m aware of some of the interesting bits of woodworking, as well. I can imagine the response if you told woodworkers that the only hammer/mallet they could use was a 16 oz claw hammer. And the reason we made all those different hammers is because they are the best option for the task they were designed for. You can get away with using a smaller set, especially if your workflow would require using some rarely enough that it isn’t worth adding in their storage and cost to be worth it, but a good woodworker will still be aware of those tools and be assessing their processes to determine if it’s time to expand their toolset.
And the difference between the physical world and the world of computer interfaces is you aren’t limited to just one. The open source world is particularly fond of including deprecated functionality because there are a lot of pieces working together and it will often take years to get everything updated, and you will never know when the last dependency is removed. Likewise with UIs. A lot of the time, a deprecated one can be kept around for those who can’t be bothered to learn the new one, but the cost of keeping the old version around for a few years is usually relatively low (and the developer can determine how much they are willing to have that cost be and do things to help make it stay within that limit). That’s no reason to leave the old version as the default, though.
Wow, reading Sach’s Wikipedia page, this guy is a piece of work. Only 340 economists disagree with his stance on Ukraine! Talk about going against the flow. If one was to throw about terms like ‘tankie’, he would look like a great example.
