  • Twitter, etc isn’t Canadian but it sure does has an opinion about who the Canadian Prime Minister should be.

    I dont feel good about any of these social media platforms having a stake in this propaganda. Tik Tok, Twitter, reddit, etc…it’s all the same to me.

    Russia, etc will use any platform they can for this shit. It doesn’t matter where the site is based. I don’t think banning tik tok or forcing it to sell will change anything. Facebook will still be a cesspool of right ring propaganda.


  • The social media at home (ie Twitter, Facebook, reddit) have been manipulating all citizens into destabilizing democracy with all the right-wing propaganda and it is getting worse every day. I can go to Twitter any day of the week and see some slander in the “What’s hot” section for any democratic/liberal leader while ass licking every conservative one depending on which country you are from. And the posts are mostly made by young Russian/etc bots. The problem is it seems to be working.

    It’s not just tik tok thats used for this shit. But the others are OK because they are 'MURICAN? It’s a double standard. I’m not defending tik tok, but I personally think Twitter, etc need to be sold as well.


  • Mods are a different beast and not representative of the game, devs, or player base. Mods like this often get removed from big modding sites like Nexus, forcing them to be mostly in their own spaces. (There is/was a bg3 mod overhaul that makes every black npc white, some lesbian npcs into men so they are straight couples, the ability to change your gender and lock it to the body types. Etc and so on. But you can’t find it on Nexus. I remember the white Wyll mod but it got removed within 3 days)

    It’s another matter entirely when a developer bakes this kind of shit into the game. Not every game has mod support and not everyone mods.


  • Yeah, I still browse reddit from time to time (mostly when lemme feed is dried up or I’m at my computer. I don’t browse it for hours like I used to, though. And I haven’t made a comment that wasn’t on r/lfg for months.

    Most of my feed is about Canada, makes sense, I live there. But a vast majority of it is right wing propaganda. Anti immigration, pro PeePee, anti Trudeau, etc. Every week a new right wing subreddit crops up.




  • US has the highest domestic violence / death by gun rates in the entire world.

    There is no such thing as good guy with a gun. Look at the victory parade just last week. People with guns everywhere just ran away for their lives instead of shooting the bad guy with the gun they love boasting about.

    The worst mass shooting in Canada in history was 12 dead. What’s the worst death toll in the US?

    The last school shooting in Canada was about 20 years ago, when was the last one in the US?

    If this Australian couple had guns, 90% chance she would have been shot and killed by beer husband instead of whatever means he used. The police should have done their jobs.

    That is the reality.










  • I used to have a neighbor who was one of those massive truck, baseball cap, toxic macho men. He would often talk loudly in his driveway and keep me up at night.

    He claimed his dog was a wolf hybrid. This dog was extremely aggressive and would attack children if given the chance. I NEVER saw that dog outside of the house. Being taken to walks, nothing. I only ever saw the dog through the door a couple times and every time it was the super aggressive barking. Not the normal bark, the one combined with bearing teeth, growling. Stuff from nightmares.

    I don’t know it that dog was a wolf dog, apparently they are legal to keep in Canada but may be banned on a municipal level. I wouldn’t put it past a toxic macho man to own a dangerous animal, not train it to scare children away and make himself look like a “tough guy”.

    No one that I know of got hurt by this dog. And the dog was isolated enough that it being a “wolf dog” was the only rumor. The guy claimed that he walked the dog super early in the morning -before anyone was out and about to avoid conflict with people and other dogs, but I never saw it.

    But I never seen him interact with his dog, never let it out. Never play with it. It’s not a pet at that point. It’s a dangerous doorbell.


  • How?

    Democrats: we should let minorities and women have rights

    Republicans: only white Christian rich men (billionaires) should have rights. We should go back to the days where LGBT and minorities were regularly lynched. We should take them away form their families and commit genocide. (If you dont think the Trump era of when ICE REGULARLY took away children from asylum seekers / border crossers as genocide, you can’t be helped, I’m sorry…)

    Democrats: let’s improve the economy for everyone. The economy is always strongest at the tail end of our presidential and the start of the next one.

    Republicans: let’s make everyone who isn’t rich be forced into indentured servitude and make it illegal for people to quit their jobs. Oh and let’s cut takes for everyone who makes 10million dollars a year. Oh and let’s raise them on the people who make less than 100k a year and make things completely unsustainable for those below the poverty line and the homeless. Let’s create another economic/housing crisis and blame it on the dems. Why else do they always happens at the start of their presidencies? It can’t be our fault. It’s the demoncrats who are in charge!

    Democrats: let’s improve the climate - something is clearly wrong. Climate change is real.

    Republicans: climate change is a hoax! Evil democrats just want to take away your comfort of living! let’s turn the future into Wall-E. Everyone who matters can go to space/Mars! (You are not one of those people, I’m sorry to say. If you are one of the ‘lucky’ ones you will be a slave until they can replace you with a robot. Musk legitimately wants to revive company towns.you are actually in indentured servitude if you live there.)

    Democrats: we should work together to face the future.

    Republicans: if you are not just like me, you are against me! You are evil! No matter what you propose i will work until my dying breath to stop it! What do you mean I just stopped a clean air act? People don’t need clean air. We can just sell it. Poor people? Who Cares about them? People are only as valuable as the worth in their bank accounts. If you aren’t a paying customer, fuck off.

    Democrats: its important to learn form history so we don’t repeat it.

    Republican: let’s gut education. Let’s burn every book that makes us look bad or promotes diversity. We can’t have people critically thinking. If people are smart and well educated, we lose votes. We want to be a dictatorship like Russia or China! The election was stolen! The holocaust never happened!
