I agree that one must be quite illogical and committed to some grander creed to issue a prohibition on nuclear weapons while Israel and USA are doing everything in their very much nuclear power to destroy you. https://en.wikipedi

What the comment fails to mention is that Al-Shifa hospital was ultimately destroyed by Israeli forces, with grave civilian casualties, and no Hamas tunnels ever found: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Shifa_Hospital

Only two Abu Ghraib perpetrators were ever sent to jail. One served 6.5 years, the other 1.5 years. I invite everyone to scroll this Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib_torture_and_prisone... from t

Don't get me wrong, I'd gladly take any small victory. But thinking of it in terms of 2026 or 2028 just means you've kicked the can down to 2030 or 2032.

And which opposition to the ruling class do you see appearing in the next 2 or 4 years that would purse anyone but the lowliest of perpetrators?

Unfortunately it is true that the working class does seem to always get the short end of the bargain.

As is, the first-past-the-post system will continue to give PCs an unfair advantage until they either splinter into two or are outflanked by a yet nonexistent party from the right. Neither option doesn't seem likely at the moment.

Canadians aren't crass enough to describe it as superiority, but it is true that the identity of English-speaking Canada is largely built on "not being America" and that the vast majority of the population is content as long

Australia, New Zealand, and the UK aren't on the same continent as Canada either, so I fail to understand why that type of agreement doesn't get labeled as silly as well.

And is the party whose political program is the closest to what the article rightfully commends as great about Canada, yet all it gets in return from many a Canadian is cheap potshots.

I believe that was the OP's point: we remember a sanitized version of the myth of MLK that flatters modern sensibilities, while ignoring Malcom X because we don't like to acknowledge he played an equally important role in bringing

I understand where you're coming from, but after a long period of stagnation Patreon is improving massively year over year. As for podcasting apps, I use Pocketcasts and I'm very happy with it.

A very astute observation - The Program's audience is indeed loyal if not large. I mentioned in some previous reports that I might have painted myself into too big of a niche with a sci-fi audio drama at the intersection of IT and hu

I haven't really found a way to incorporate AI into my creative process. I do sometimes use it as thesaurus on steroids when I can't think of the right word or if I need to check grammar / sentence structure (I'm not a n

Funny that you mention Yahoo, as in my mind they're the perfect example of what the poster above you noted: people quickly switched to Google once a better alternative to Yahoo appeared.

And where do you think the idea the Canadian government is waging war against its own population will come from? The problem is that most people think of these scenarios as something that happens overnight, when in reality consent is manufa
