Imagine having that kind of free time, goddamn.
What's up with the pro-Con downvoting here? Every post I see on British Columbia about a Con candidate in any negative way gets immediately downvoted.
I'm legitimately afraid. We're on track to vote in a federal Con government that wouldn't even admit climate change exists. Now after an at least partial recovery from the last time we had decades of Con governing in BC--openly corrupt members and all--we're going to vote for their even more right-wing cousins?
It's just so goddamn embarrassing.
I hope all the volunteering does help but I just feel like maybe we deserve this. They'll make everything worse faster and we can all lose our houses to flooding and fire, and our parents and grandparents to heatstroke. Sell off our tree cover to increase flooding and make the wild fires even worse. Prove to the world that we would rather die on a larger pile of gold when our AC fails than work to fix anything for our kids or their kids.
This is so embarrassing. I've never been more disappointed to be from BC than to see the BC Conservatives neck-and-neck with the best government* we've had in a lifetime.
(*yes they suck in various ways, and we all know how much worse the Cons would be and the BCLibs were.)
Thank you, god that original one was an awful read.
I'm sorry you're going through that, man, that's awful.
One thing I noticed, and you can check this for yourself too, is that American media outlets constantly refer to her as 'Elon Musks transgender daughter', and it really bothers me it's not just 'Elon Musks Daughter.'
So I checked, and the BBC, CTV News (canadian), CBC (also canadian) all just refer to her as his daughter.
I absolutely love that she's bringing the lumber, but I could really do with news organizations not using that as her identifier. She's not 'Elon Musk's transgender daughter.' She's Vivian Jenna Wilson, she doesn't even consider Elon her father. I'll let her speak for herself here:
(From her name change):
“I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form,” she wrote on the petition.
“I would like to emphasize one thing: I am an adult,” she said, according to NBC. “I am 20 years old. I am not a child. My life should be defined by my own choices.”
Wow, imagine where we'd be if Oil and Gas hadn't convinced almost everyone that solar was never going to work well.
For anyone panicking, this is exactly like what happened with the transition from ICQ to AOL messenger, from MySpace to Facebook, from 9gag/etc to Reddit, and so on.
Website makes a mistake, some people leave. Makes another, more leave. Each time this happens, more 'main' people of said website leave. Hell, I already saw PoppinKREAM here, so that's a great start.
So this is exactly how it always goes. The fact it is still here means it's staying. Look at Threads, or Metaverse, whatever those things are. All dying or dead, barely lasted. Lemmy is still here, people are still posting, so just keep doing what you're doing. It's already working.
The problem is an hour of what. Me wandering around trying to find something described vaguely and being frustrated, is not the same as an hour of well written and interesting dialogue.
This also applies to their misogyny. You may be the poorest of the poor and white, but you're a man, so you're better than all women.
