sure, but with deepfakes and everything, how can we be sure that we're really executing people? I mean, North Korea has apparently been playing this game for years, what with their politicians being torn apart by dogs or blown apart by anti-aircraft guns and then somehow fine a couple weeks later.

Guillotines are so efficient and humane, very age of reason. We're back to wantom cruelty now and as I see it this country has endless miles of highways across flat even terrain, seems only logical we'd go for mass hangings or crucifixions.

i think the only actual reasonable way forwards for alberta economically is to build up significant flood mitigation and irrigation infrastructure and go all-in on solar, wind, and non-animal agricultural production. it's not like there's gonna be a surfeit of food worldwide in the coming century, so if you started preparing for that reality now, you could become a critical economic driver again instead of praying that the entirety of saudi arabia and its oilfields are sent to the phantom zone
