 You bet I'm gonna spent a lot of energy in Ottawa Centre pushing the climate change agenda. Emilie Taman is on board with GND ideas (source: personal communications)

I want to like Taman and I know a lawyer is not her client (and there's certainly no shame in taking someone's money to lose a fight) but I'm still getting over her publicly advocating for James Sears' "right" to distribute hate speech by mail.

Moist von Lipwig posted:(1) Therapy has better outcomes long term but it doesn't really work in a crisis, once someone has arrived at the place ChairMaster is at. There's some newer emergency pharma interventions that are promising but by and large most antidepressants do not work, sometimes performing worse than placebo and often disrupting and harming vital systems in the body Echoing this. There's a new current of thought that current antidepressants mostly decrease anxiety, which can lead to depression but is completely different, physiologically speaking. To complicate things further causes of depression and depression-related conditions are manifold and require different approaches for effective treatment. Anyway. I've got my own demons and I've had been first on the scene of suicide attempts. Hits very close to home. Hope you got help CM

I'm not aware of this story. I've known her for a while and we had a lot of 'spergy conversations. We couldn't come from more different backgrounds and I know very little about law. But what I know is she's passionate and from our discussions seems honest about wanted strong non-compromising climate action paid for by the wealthy and corporations.

No way, look at how negative this passage from Nietzsche is: quote:My formula for greatness in a human being is amor fati: that one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backward, not in all eternity. Not merely bear what is necessary, still less conceal it—all idealism is mendacity in the face of what is necessary—but love it. xtal fucked around with this message at 15:12 on Mar 19, 2019 |

Pretty innocuous stuff really; it's nothing to get wrapped around the axle over. He was her client when YWN was flailing zundelfully against the most recent [successful] attempt to shut them up, and she made a public statement in that capacity claiming that the right to free speech ought to be defended at every turn. I agree that it should be, and I also agree with the existence of hate speech laws, cause the collision of the two nearly always gives us a discussion with value. On election day I'm happy to throw my vote away for her.

Isn't Alberta like 2 months out from their fixed election date? I literally don't know what could stop the UCP from winning a majority in Alberta at this point

The elections act says the fixed election date can be any time between March 1 and May 31, or also at any time before that.

flakeloaf posted:Find a thing that makes you feel happy in the moment, and enjoy that moment. Nobody has a "happy life". Most of us just have happy moments in quick enough succession that the next one's worth reaching for it. I've typed a couple of responses to this but they all come our sounding like I'm giving unsolicited advice to the depressed, so I'll just say I also enjoy this philosophy. I take it one step further in that I've found the things that give me happy moments and made them weekly or daily routines.

When people said Wildrose was a sure thing, there was another conservative party splitting the vote. Now there isn't. 50% of Alberta voters, if not more, are reliably conservative and will vote for the UCP even if they have scandals and white nationalist candidates. I'm not saying don't vote or don't try. Get out there and do what you can, but don't be surprised when in the end Kenney wins an overwhelming majority despite scandals that would sink Notley in a instant.

I don't really understand the outrage about kenney. For one thing the guy is a douchebag, has always been a douchebag, and internal party politics is always sleazy as gently caress.

The last Alberta election where the conservative parties didn't get over 50% of the popular vote was 1993, and even in that election Klein won 44% and formed a majority government.

Would not be surprised in the slightest if Kenney wins but I think starting from the mindset that he’s guaranteed to win is really loving dumb especially on the basis of polling which have a history of skewing ridiculously towards conservatives in this province.
