Harper proved that you can do absolute dogshit numbers in Quebec and still win with a coalition of Ontario and western Canada. No one has been able to replicate it since but in theory he might not even have to learn French

When presidents do it, it means the person is pardoned for any crimes they did before a certain time but haven't been charged with or convicted of, like with Nixon

Lol this is one of those "you'll never guess what this is about" posts without announcing itself as such

Discouraging that the only pushback from an opposition party MPP quoted here is "it's a pain to change station names when naming rights expire" and (by implication) "we shouldn't give naming rights to gambling companies," and not PUBLIC ENTITIES SHOULD NOT SELL NAMING RIGHTS TO STUFF.

It was supposed to be the super smart economics guys who understood the concept of "value added." The coffee farmer gets lots less than Starbucks because of the steps in between. Delivery costs something. Shut the fuck up

Relatively few school-aged children saw the Challenger explode live. A lot of schools had satellite TV hooked up for the occasion, but only a small % out of all the schools in the U.S.
Kids saw replays later, fine. I saw planes hit the WTC and explode over and over, including at school

I think it's fine to "like the idea" of things that aren't going to happen so long as you aren't wasting time and resources on them

Why would someone necessarily get that right away? People write insane things on the internet all the time.

(Again, roughly. But no 35 year old is a member of Gen X unless they own a time machine, I am sure of that.)

Look guys I just stated the years demographers in North America are using as reference points when they talk about different generations. Take it up with them.

Obviously there's some variation, but commonly accepted definitions are:
Boomer: 1946-63
Gen X: 1964-1980
Millennial: 1981-1996
Gen Z: 1997-2012
Someone in their late 40s could be Gen X, but if you were a child when like, Beavis and Butthead came out, you definitely aren't lmao

I've never had this but I've seen it around in southern Ontario, Canada

If nothing else this is very helpful because I follow a lot of these people on Twitter and it can be time-consuming and/or difficult to find them here

Hold up astigmatism affects your ability to see these? Because I have that and I can't see them either

Not for nothing but S1 kind of goes out of its way to make clear that pre-meth WW isn't a great guy. Self-important, full of resentments, quick to anger, etc. etc. "Mild-mannered high school teacher turns to drug trade out of desperation" this is not

The key is to live in such a way that if someone murders you, masses of people won't go online and say you got what was coming to you. Most people pass that test and don't have to think about this hypothetical.

He was apparently hanging out there in the five minutes before the guy came out. How do you even find out where a CEO will be staying let alone when he's coming and from what door? With your getaway in midtown ready to go? This isn't showing up with your AR-15 at Comet Ping Pong

I don't know, it sounds more sophisticated than those guys are ordinarily capable of

People are often comparing the user experience of Twitter vs. Bluesky, and one thing I don't see mentioned that would improve this site is less fetishization of follower counts. It's annoying on the other site and it's annoying here

Fwiw I do remember the first three Tripods books and my fifth grade teacher read them to us. I didn't know there was a fourth one

Kind of funny how this strawman is in response to a post criticizing a group for relying on anecdotal evidence

Yeah that would be dispositive as to whether it was hit directly, no "seem" about it

Not mad per se but I kept hearing about it on social media and other places to the extent that I had to watch it, and... it's not very good imo while also taking itself sooo seriously, but this is also annoying because it has certain redeeming qualities that should have made it better than it is.

Huh, didn't know that the phrase "white trash" dates to at least the nineteenth century. I would have said it was much more recent, maybe 50-60 years old.

I remembered it after a screenshot was posted. These stories, like that one and the Erickson one above, start to run together in my mind after a while

There is a path for a few candidates, in the event that Trump dies. He's 77 years old, it wouldn't be that weird.

And honestly Woody Harrelson, Shelley Long, Ted Danson, Kirstie Alley, and Bebe Neuwirth all basically look their stated ages here.

These can actually be very handy to dry your hair a bit if you've just come in from the rain or something. Don't see what the fuss is about other than that's the only visual instruction.

Also the only kinda incriminating evidence they have is the 911 call where Sela Ward kinda implicates him (while bleeding out). 911 knows when the call was made. The hospital presumably knows when Ford left. You can time the distance to his house. All this happened before he got home!
