If it was a Conservative victory my plan was to completely ignore politics for the rest of my life, if it was NDP then I'd actually give a poo poo about politics for reals again, but with Liberal Government I'm just waiting to be able to buy weed in like a store, when's that?

Helsing posted:Leaving aside the fact that fatness is usually more complicated than just "bad habits" No it's not, you fat sack of poo poo. Fat people eat too much and don't do any exercise. So they get fat. I know this because I stopped being fat when I started exercising and eating less, and so does everyone else.

I never said losing weight was easy, I'm saying that fat people are fat because they eat too much and don't exercise. If your'e honest about why you're fat then you're not so bad as one of these idiots who pretends that their body can violate the laws of thermodynamics.

Just working on undoing some of the horrible poo poo the Conservatives ruined doesn't make the Liberals good, just not as insane and horrible as the Conservatives, which is in line with what we were saying anyways. It's still just tax cuts for the rich and general small-c conservative garbage for the next 4 years, other than legal weed.

PT6A posted:So, if you were guaranteed a 500 sq. ft. studio apartment in a safe but otherwise arbitrarily crappy location, you'd decide to just sit on your rear end all day, doing nothing to try to improve your circumstances further? Do you not understand that there is a huge portion of the population that has no realistic hope of anything more than having a safe place to live and not starving to death? Maybe it's because I live in BC and grew up in poverty like almost everyone else here, but like every post you make seems to have no connection at all to what life is like in poverty. Dreams and ambition are dead for us, we just don't want to be homeless.

Well it's not like I'd spend the rest of my life waking up, staring at the wall for 16 hours then going to bed, but I certainly wouldn't work anymore. There's no fulfilment or purpose to be found in standing around working for some dickhead who doesn't give a poo poo about you either way, so anyone who's not smart enough or doesn't want to be a doctor or some other supposedly noble profession doesn't have much to gain from working.

Most people would rather we let everyone starve than pay people to survive. The idea of paying someone for free is so abhorrent to most people that they'd rather have you be homeless and hurting people and stealing and lying to survive than having the government pay to feed and shelter you. This is what's going to happen when there's not enough jobs (which is guaranteed at some point very soon in the future, I don't know how anyone can look at the progression of modern technology and disagree with that), and there's nothing any of us can do about it. Mincome will never be politically feasible in North America.

Haha yea right, like a wealthy person would give a poo poo about any of those things. You don't need to treat your workforce well when there's about a billion people ready and willing to replace them at a moments notice, motivated by the terror of homelessness and starvation.

Are you saying I'm wrong about any of these things or just that I'm a dick about it? Because I think you'd have to be a drat fool to think that many wealthy people would give up a single million of their spare billions of dollars to help even a single one of the people they exploited to make all that money in the fist place. Pretty much anyone can see that a guaranteed minimum income is not only a good idea for everyone but also necessary to avoid eventual catastrophe, but there's no loving way it's ever going to happen.

While it's true that the wealthiest people in our country don't have the kind of complete control over our government as their American equivalents do, I still can't see any realistic way for mincome to ever become something that exists in real life here. What party would ever propose such an idea? Our leftmost party chickened out and acted like a bunch of center-right dipshits last election, and their utter failure will only be remembered as a failure of the left. I certainly don't see the Liberal "cut taxes for the rich and pretend it's for the poor" Party of Canada going for such an extreme idea any time soon.

Scaramouche posted:I agree it seems a lot of hullabaloo for only a slight uptick in what Canada accepts normally, but given the slapfights in the US and some of the objections of the New Right in Europe it feels... nice? I normally feel a kind of corrosive cynicism about Canada and I not-felt that for almost entire minutes at a time while reading those #welcometocanada tweets. I think what broke me is that one of my millennial cousins came and asked me how he should defend it to his dad over Christmas dinner completely unprompted. These world stage moves are often not that substantial in reality, but they can be potent symbols nonetheless. It's honestly a little strange to feel something positive about Canada these days other than "thank Christ I wasn't born in America. Trudeau may be another useless small-c conservative leader of a useless party that tricks people into thinking it's progressive, but he's at least doing a good job with this stuff.

vyelkin posted:PT6A you're not necessarily wrong about some of what you're saying but you're discounting a hell of a lot of genetic factors that kick in once a person does become significantly overweight (obese) that make it incredibly difficult to return to a normal weight, and virtually impossible to return to a normal weight permanently. Those of us with good genes or who have never been overweight often try to make a connection between "I put on 20 pounds once and then worked it off by eating healthier and working out, so why can't 300 pound people do the same thing on a larger scale?" but it's really not that simple. Oh whatever, yea losing weight is hard when you're fat, no poo poo. That doesn't make it impossible, and that doesn't mean that fat people have anyone to blame but themselves or their parents for the fact that they're fat, and themselves only for the fact that they remain that way. I used to weigh well over 300 pounds, and now I'm just skinnyfat at 180 or so. All I did to lose weight was to stop eating like poo poo and start walking to wherever I needed to go rather than driving or taking the bus, there wasn't even real exercise involved. Obese people are full of poo poo and should stop pretending like it's not their own drat fault they're fat and gross.

Going through puberty is the thing that prevents people from ever passing as the gender that doesn't correspond to their puberty gender without extensive surgery, so probably waiting for that to happen would be counter-productive. Hormone blockers are probably a good thing for anyone who's unsure, I'd imagine.peter banana posted:I guess I've just never read an experience that went, "I was too affirmed when I identified as trans and it hosed me up" and have read lots of experiences of "I was made to hide my trans identity out of fear of rejection and literal violence and it really, really hosed me up." This is pretty much what I've seen, too. Our whole society is built around gender roles and the importance of another persons gender being paramount in the way you interact with them, so I understand why people have a hard time with this kind of thing (I do too, changing the pronouns you use for someone you've known is pretty drat hard), but you're just gonna have to put that aside and accept that some people's life experience is nothing like your own.

I don't know why anyone gives a poo poo about what Canada says it thinks about Israel.

I honestly think that I would vote for Trump in the general over Hillary if I were American. You can have Sanders try his damndest to fix the horrible broken totally corrupt and worthless system or you can have Donald Trump go crazy and do nonsensical poo poo completely out of reach of the moneyed interests that usually influence American politics. Either way is better than more of the same.

I am not particularly worried about a return of fascism starting in America, the president still is not a dictator and the system is set up to keep it that way. Eej posted:It's a good thing for your theoretical example you've chosen to be a white person instead of, say, one of the 35 million (more than the population of Canada!) Mexican Americans who have been invoked as a boogeyman by the likely Republican candidate. 10% of the population doesn't really qualify as being representative of the average voter. And a black person could just as easily support Trump as a white person, the democrats take their vote for granted but black people don't like Mexicans all that much more than white people do.

I don't understand this masturbatory garbage people always pull whenever a piece of poo poo like Rob Ford dies where they talk about how great they are for not being happy that he died. The world is a better place without Rob Ford, he made life worse for millions of people, and even on the small scale he was an abusive piece of poo poo and I'm glad he's dead. The only tragedy is that it didn't happen a decade sooner so as to prevent many of the horrible things he did. gently caress you PT6A go jerk off about how noble and good you are for not celebrating the death of this human excrement somewhere else.
