>The claim I'm making is that they are underprotected online. Yes, and not only is it wrong (they are protected sufficiently), but giving an inch to the same moral impulses and peo…

>Young people are barely living Yeah, I wonder what caused that? The most freedom they actually get is on the Internet, that's why they all hang out there.

We hope the social redistribution that would have to be there to help those that fail, and those employed to teach them, is less expensive than every citizen forced to sacrifice 8 …

Yes, and here "Canadians want" is used to say "the people within 100km of the St. Lawrence want". (That's actually part of the problem.) Claimed identity isn't a suicide pact and c…

>it's because chargebacks Sorry, but that's just bullshit. This is nothing more than your standard pseudogovernmental meddling in the "just build your own financial infrastructure"…

>A sign that we are approaching such levels would be nobody wants to enter those nations legally or illegally any more. That is already true of Canada, as it is no longer possible …

It's LPC policy to listen to these kinds of lobby groups, no matter how unhinged they might be. A significant participant in a lobby group with similar aims, Nathalie Provost, is a…

Because there's zero electoral accountability, and the voting bloc that insist it be that way are so obsessed with importing all the bad parts of the Commonwealth here that this wi…

Most parents are too afraid of the State kidnappers (and the Karens who call them) for that.

No. Historically, this just ends up with Toronto and Montreal (and to a more limited extent, Vancouver) treating the rest of the country as a resource colony. The pretense that con…

Legacy and marketing have as much to do with it as local variations in how bores are actually measured do. All the .38s and 9mms of the world are just slight variations on .36" rou…

>It’s not even clear that Boomers are that much more likely to be NIMBYs Most Boomers aren't NIMBYs, but most NIMBYs are Boomers. This is a thing that uniquely threatens them becau…

Ignoring, of course, the fact you're already waking up in total darkness in Standard time. At least with perma-DST you at least get daylight once you leave work; with perma-Standar…

>Prospective parents are saying "fuck that shit" and simply choosing not to have children. Or in other words, they've been priced out of the market. If there will be no sociofinanc…

>it takes less power to move a lighter and smaller car A smaller car has less space for battery than an SUV. Because batteries are extremely heavy, that smaller car needs to be ove…

And that law is incredibly and hideously stupid, as it's a heckler's veto on having cool stuff. The Internet is basically the final frontier where this harmful law doesn't reach, t…

Everybody hates teenagers, so yes. It's not really about protecting them; people that claim this is the case are generally doing so to launder that hatred.

The big stuff, sure, but the French state's small-arms capacity (while once impressive) has atrophied to the point of non-existence. They rely on the Germans (and to a point, Czech…

>Apple has never had better hardware (on mobile). This is just straight up false. Qualcomm's current top of the line processors are about 3 years behind what you can get in Apple's…

No. The reason Light Mode has been getting lighter is simple: because the default computer in 2025 is now a laptop or phone, whereas in 2009 it was a desktop. Laptops and phones ha…

And media lies by omission.

Additionally, all ICE cars can charge from 0-100% in under 5 minutes. Even if their towing range was somehow less than an EV, it would matter less because you don't have to spend a…

No, it's an aversion to having (and enforcing) basic standards.
