Yeah like wouldn’t it just be best (from their perspective) to get it out of the news cycle, come up with better legal bullshit, and continue the concentration camp deportations in a month or so?

I mean they’re talking about revoking the citizenship of prisoners and trying to naturalize the land in El Salvador so they won’t have to answer to anyone because it will be considered “domestic” transfer. They could just bring him back and then ship him back when they do that.

This is weird but can we trust that the kidnapped guy is even still alive? The admin is super evasive about it.

Alan Partridge

…. You know that modern rock music as we know it was directly copying the work of black artists like Little Richard, right?

Maybe “bands play different genres in some proportions” (that you know of) due to the disproportionate marketing and airplay they received at the time Bowie was speaking about this issue.

Channels selected bands based on what they thought they could sell. And they weren’t interested in platforming black artists. Maybe they weren’t selling black music because the white music execs didn’t want to give it a chance (racism). This is exactly what people talk about when they say racism is a systemic issue.

There’s also a little bit of history to know that when Bowie was talking about this MTV was the biggest thing that could skyrocket an artist or a band to popularity. Multiple “channels” didn’t exist.

Oh I think he’s totally going to try and set up a DARVO because he’s clearly a narcissist. Especially now that Canada is keeping ours.

Deny - I never caused the instability with the tariffs. I’m just trying to put America first. Attack - Canada put unfair retaliatory tariffs on us etc. Reverse Victim & Offender - Canada’s attacking America so we’re really the victims here ( and then US reinstates stronger tariffs).

I don’t see that there’s anything to apologize for here.

I hope Youngkin gets voted out.

I’d like to see that guy last more than 2 hours without food. Unbelievable.

What are the chances Elon goes after their pensions too?

And the dissatisfaction was boosted by Russian propaganda.

It’s not a coincidence that the convoy terrorists in Ottawa coincided with the invasion of Ukraine.

What really helped me was simplifying my life and putting myself first. Let’s take your statements one at a time:

Ex-Boyfriend - does not care about you. Don’t waste your energy there. It helped me to mute these people on socials and put them on limited view of my posts if you don’t want to block or remove.

Girlfriend - decide if you want to stay in this situation. What would need to improve to make it better? Will your partner accept these improvements? This should be your top priority. I don’t know you and I don’t know your background but the boyfriend breakup -> new sexuality -> open relationship jump seems confusing, complicated and a lot to take on. Take a hard look and make sure you’re doing this because it’s what you want - not from a place of looking for validation/acceptance or chasing someone.

Long-Time Friend - cut contact fully and take some space. Not now does not mean not ever. I had to have a difficult conversation with a friend recently where they really bought into rumours someone was spreading about me without asking me about it and wanted to make it up to me and I had to tell them I’m happy to be on friendly terms but don’t have the personal emotional capacity for more at this time. You don’t even have to tell the friend this much. You can just decide it and answer or not when you’re ready. No one has you at gunpoint forcing you to talk to people. See above on muting them on socials so you’re not tempted to interact.

Then, fill your time with things you enjoy. Take a fuck it attitude and get out there. For example, I found a group on meetup who had a common interest and went to some nights. It wasn’t expensive - the price of a cup of coffee - and it got me out of the house and interacting with new people. Look for low commitment things so you don’t overextend.

Exercise is good too. I find when I’m in crisis I tend to potato to weather the storm. Then when I’m on the mend I tend to get back into my routine.

Try to notice the way you talk to yourself in daily life too. You’ll get stuck longer if you’re down on yourself. For example jokes like “I’m dumb” become reality and your perception of yourself really quickly. I write one positive line about myself every day in my planner/journal.

I also found finding one to two “hype” people on social media who said positive things to be helpful. You mentioned your anxiety. If you’re not already doing so, seek out healthy, positive content to help you with that. It’s 2025 and therapy is expensive. This is a good first step.

Controversial, but there is a chatgpt therapist extension (not sure if free or paid). If I really feel emotional and stuck, and in my case I couldn’t vent to my friend anymore, I turn on temporary chat and let it fly with the chatgpt therapist. It is helpful to get validation/perspective on my situation in the moment and without judgement.

I know this is a lot but you can get through it by taking small steps. We all go through difficult times throughout life and each one is going to help you build resilience. Again, I don’t know you, your age or your circumstances but your post reads like you are younger. I know it’s cliche but the things that seemed like the world was ending when I was younger don’t even seem like real challenges now. Life really is one crisis after another.

Apparently it’s happened before and you don’t have to - you just can’t sit in the chamber until you get a seat if I understand correctly.

Because the polling looks best for him, most likely.

And this is exactly why the fuck Trump is chasing Canada as well.

This is because of Elon.

Fuck it idc put 200% on Teslas and give us access to cheap Chinese vehicles.

I mean there’s no right wing party in Canada either. The one we had has lost serious momentum over this.

He doesn’t joke. He said tariffs are coming for Europe and they will. Canada 51st state isn’t a joke.

To be honest Canada’s feeling pretty alone and abandoned by the international community. Other allies should also be standing up to this nonsense. This isn’t how we all stand up to bullies.

I don’t think it’s a factor about him being old. He’s a figurehead. It’s the tech bro billionaires and ghouls he’s putting in place to operationalize their own plans. This includes dismantling democracy. That’s not just going to stop with the US.

They’ll be coming at you guys soon enough. Best to figure out which side you’re on.

You’ll probably get the wrath anyway. It’s a matter of time. Best to plan.

They just don’t like anything that can lead to true freedom which is - people being ok with themselves. Can’t sell you a product if you’re ok with yourself.

And then we legalized it. Somehow society didn’t crumble.

Whaat? How is it at all fair to kick these people out of their homeland? Especially after Israel’s response was so incredibly disproportionate when compared to the October 7th attacks. Like what 3k people vs well over 40k??? Bombing hospitals???

Given Trump’s comments about the real estate in Gaza let’s not pretend he just doesn’t want to give it to Israel if he gets a piece of the development pie. Let’s not forget Netanyahu was visiting Trump before he assumed the presidency.

It’s not right. The Palestinians should have their land back. The only moral solution is a two state solution. The only secure solution is a two state solution. Dispossessing regular people and effectively kicking them when they’re down isn’t exactly a deterrent to terrorism.

I fear they’ve already decided what they’re going to do and now they’re just trying to make everyone buy it.
