Going to quote something I said on another account a while ago:

"A mixture of people voting with their hearts instead of their minds, and people being very ignorant about politics.

The end result is a voting population that will vote based on knee-jerk emotional reactions and are very gullible and lead astray by false promises, lies, and misinformation. Basically: They are extremely easy to manipulate.

A lot of Canadians feel Trudeau is a shit, do-nothing politician and PM and that he has to go, and I frankly agree with them. The problem, though, is that they let their hatred of the PM (and his party) blind them and they end up voting for a party which has no functional solutions to everything they hate Trudeau for. The problems that Trudeau has neglected DO need to be taken care of but the CPC doesn’t have a platform or policies to actually deal with them. Voters don’t care though; they just want Trudeau gone. They just want red party gone.

Two or three years from now when PP is prime minister - his ratings are going to tank and people are going to start hating him. The scandals will start stacking up and media pressure on him and his corrupt ministers will continue to grow, and many who voted for him will be crying that they got betrayed. Maybe some day people will learn to stop voting for con artists but I doubt it’ll be in my lifetime."

I am so very tired of ignorant, naive, and irresponsible voters.

I mostly avoid major world news now for the most part. I prefer to read hobby-specific news and local news, such as my municipality.

Not in Utica, no; it’s an Albany expression.

Discord and Tumblr.

I have several of the original Philips LED replacement bulbs, which were some of the very first LED bulbs available. Paid about $35CAD each for them in late 2009 and they’re built out of solid metal and weigh a ton. They’re still going strong and put out a lovely light.

Woo! Happy to help 😁

My sister got me a weighted blanket a few years ago. I love it and use it every night.

Best given was a laser distance measurement tool I got for my dad who works in construction. He uses it all the time and has for years.

Same here.

Bison steak. I’m not a steak person so it was likely wasted on me.

One of the many “elites” that need to be locked away indefinitely for crimes against humanity.

Have mercy! Think of the shareholders!

As with the last Prime Days, absolutely nothing on my wish list is discounted. It’s all just random-named crap they’re clearing out of their warehouses along with their own devices like Kindles.

Depends entirely on the Instance and the rules they enforce. Here on Beehaw specifically? This is primarily an instance for safety and inclusivity and the people here are, naturally, not going to look positively on right wing opinions.

Good! The amount of plastic waste that comes with retail produce is absurd. From the thin plastic bags to things being individually wrapped with plastic and foam.
