Hey man, if you can't romanticize the life of a modern plumber you're just not horny enough.

My current phone is old and just recently my bank app stopped working because the phones android version is too far behind. Is there any way to load Graphene OS on an android phone, and would it maybe help me get around having to use the website for my banking now?

Does anyone know if he's talking about the Half Life 2 documentary? I'd like to watch whatever one he's mentioning to learn how Valve runs.

I was so excited to mention the Ottawa one, I skate nearby often in the summer. Thanks for adding the photo, further than I was going to go!

Maybe men are just getting assaulted more because they're bad at detecting it like mentioned though? Occams razor and all that.

I lost my fingers off turning off the lights and I live in darkness now.

Dude, I've worked on Hardens campaign here in Ottawa. I know the actual challenges to reaching out to the masses, and while jaded, I still work on the actual problems, and try and reach out. It's still just a fact of the matter that a large amount of the voting base is afraid to put the vote behind the NDP out of fear of the Conservatives.

You're spouting a lot of platitudes on here, which I can appreciate being fired up about, but you're going at it in a completely aggressive and ineffective way. Going after people in our own party is a terrible use of your own time, and not constructive at all.

Dude I can't control the masses, I don't know what you want me to do?

The problem is that with all of your counter points, you keep talking about "reason". This is politics, Doug Ford wouldn't still be in charge if people voted on reason. You keep making the same problem that the NDP has been making in expecting the whole population to use reason and think rationally as well. They don't, and you and the rest of the party leadership need to realize that.

The charisma thing is a real consideration, because the NDP have proven they need that to be able to get ahead of the other two parties. Everyone has spoken to Jacks charisma being the one thing that got the NDP as close as they've been, but now you are telling me that charisma isn't important? Especially when they're trying to rebuild the party? I'm sorry but we will be in complete disagreement on that one. Pierre doesn't need charisma, he's at the head of the other party that won't raise taxes in the masses, so hence not being in the NDPs tough spot.

I tried using the term "Human Rights" because that's what I believe them to be, but a lot of the people I was referring to, would call them "identity politics". I'm sorry to say it, because I'd rather acceptance be the default as well, but people who would otherwise support the NDP didn't this election cycle due to all of the noise around identity politics. I'm also from Ottawa, so I'm sure you know the Lanark county types I'm referring to, I grew up around them.

It's just an uphill battle to rebuild a party, and I'm not sure how the leadership hopefuls will manage to pull it off. My fingers are crossed for them, I've always been an NDP supporter but want to feel like I'm not just throwing my vote in the trash. Even in my "always NDP" riding it went red last time. I just want to see them get back to the basics (hence Ashton being my hopeful til the AI thing)

The fascist plague is in Canada too

Yeah, we know, and it's been an attempt at the US government to get their bullshit up north, and exactly why the Conservatives lost so hard last election. The people up here at least get out and vote when we see the Conservative party aligning with Trump, and in Alberta aligning with "US Separatism".

Any link to that Police-led Nazi march you're mentioning? Didn't read anything on that.

OOOOOOOOOOOH FUCKING GET SERVEDDDD (information)

You're not seeing as much US produce rotting because less places are buying it now. Last winter we were still dealing with having to not choose US oranges, but this winter the grocers have found alternatives. I've had plenty of South African oranges and cantaloupe this winter.
