Translation: “I have money so you can go die, you stupid poor”

Exactly, they gave it to them and said “do whatever you want with it” then just checked what they did later.

I hear it goes great with leaded water.

So 30% of people can’t afford their own house and that doesn’t seem like inequality to you?

Here’s the wiki page on global income equality, to address your claim that Europe is worse than the US:

Can confirm, I have zero plumbing experience and installed mine with zero issues. It’s about as simple as entry-level Ikea furniture.

in their right mind

I imagine that’s part of it

But that wouldn’t be accurate because there are South American countries with even cheaper electricity than here, so it’s only the cheapest in North America.

Also not to be too pedantic but central America isn’t technically a continent, and it all falls under North America anyways.

Hell yeah, we’ve got a heat pump and we’re in Canada where it can get to -40°C (which is coincidentally also -40°F) and that thing works like a beast. Fortunately we also have the cheapest electricity in North America so the decision was easy.

I don’t think it’s begging when people already want to give it out for free.

The first result on google for ‘Australia gun ownership rates’:

https://www.sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/news/2021/04/28/new-gun-ownership-figures-revealed-25-years-on-from-port-arthur.html

-Australian civilians now own more than 3.5 million registered firearms, an average of four for each licensed gun owner.

-The proportion of Australians who hold a gun licence has fallen by 48 percent since 1997.

-The proportion of Australian households with a firearm has fallen by 75 percent in recent decades.

-Data indicates that people who already own guns have bought more rather than an increase in new gun owners.

And I don’t know much about their mass shooting history, but here’s an article explaining that homicides and suicides sharply declined after the ban:

https://www.vox.com/2015/8/27/9212725/australia-buyback

What they found is a decline in both suicide and homicide rates after the NFA. The average firearm suicide rate in Australia in the seven years after the bill declined by 57 percent compared with the seven years prior. The average firearm homicide rate went down by about 42 percent.

Ben câlisse, comment ma apporter mon épicerie à maison sans un char d’assault?

Seriously, can you imagine if it was a brown guy trying to kill 6 people because they’re white?

Hmm… I’m not sure I agree with this completely despite politicians obviously being problematic. At least at its core, the rationale is that the significant majority of people aren’t aware enough of all the contentious (or even mundane) issues in society, so we elect people we trust to make our decisions for us. I just checked Canada’s recent bills in Parliament, and the voter turnout for something like this would be almost nothing:

Bill C-16 - An Act for granting to Her Majesty certain sums of money for the federal public administration for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023

Obviously our current system is very easily corruptible and that needs to be addressed, but getting rid of politicians altogether wouldn’t necessarily fix our society, despite how terrible they’re making it right now.

Swap Muslim with Jewish and Israel with Palestine and it’s the same problem… to be clear I think both are true but it’s kinda weird to single one out.

I think the comment above is saying what the government would say… which is honestly fairly realistic.

Meat is pretty much the most expensive protein source. You can get tofu for like 1/5 the price of meat. The other guy summed it up well (although with some sarcasm) that eating vegan is only expensive when you try to replicate the meat. Just eat tofu and you’ll be healthier and richer :)

Excellent progress! Now we can conscionably stop tipping in Chicago too :)

If they’re gonna be forced to be part of the UK, they can also enjoy the privilege of shitting on it like the rest do.

Usually this bot is great but this is a pretty big one to miss:

And the same week NASA’s report came out, Mexican lawmakers were shown by journalist Jaime Maussan two tiny, 1,000-year-old bodies that he claimed were the remains of “non-human” beings. Scientists have called this claim fraudulent and say the mummies may have been looted from gravesites in Peru.

You’re completely missing the point of an analogy. No one is comparing humans to animals. What’s similar is the thought process behind arriving at both conclusions. We could be talking about humans, animals, cars… the subject doesn’t matter, it’s the thought process that’s the same.
