    I'm thinking it's just invoking the imagery of a race car, a thing that goes really fast that you can still buy and use on a daily basis.

    Yeah, she was great. As I recall, she was pushing back against all the bullshit back when the party was still under cuck O'Toole chasing the ndp-lite-lite vote.

    It's bad what's happening, but it's a sign of better days to come. He's pushing hard because he knows he's going to lose the next election, so he's trying to get as much of his agenda through before he's just a dude with rich parents again.

    England is at something like 22% poverty rate, and is being forced to cut social spending regardless. It'll get worse before it gets any better. Austerity is a dirty word, but if you spend money you don't have forever eventually you're spending all your money taking care of bankers instead of children.

    If you spend money you don't have, you typically do so by creating bonds which are then purchased by banks. Just like a credit card, the banks don't take those for free, they lend money in exchange for being paid back more than was borrowed. Moreover, national governments don't just borrow money then pay it back, they borrow money, then borrow money to pay back the money borrowed. When rates are low, countries can borrow for fairly low amounts of money but just like when you rack up a credit card more and more the minimum payment grows and grows until you can't even pay that. If you also have a situation where interest rates rise, then suddenly your minimum payment is rising even faster than you rack up new debts. The interest on bonds is just money being handed to the banks, and it's tax money that cannot be spent on anything else. In 2024, Fitch projects that number will rise to 176 billion gbp, up 60-odd billion, and it'll continue to rise from there. It already makes up more money than the day to day operation cost of the NHS which was 171 billion in 2022/2023 (compares to a total budget including long term capital of 181 billion).

    Some people think you can print your way out of such a situation, but ask a briton how they like the high inflation of the past while, whether it makes them feel richer or poorer. Print your way out of a debt crisis, and you print your way into a currency crisis, making your situation more difficult, as we've seen in many south American economies.

    Some people say the state isn't like people when it comes to debt, and they're right -- it's far worse. If I foolishly rack up debt, it dies with me, but if my government foolishly racks up debt, the obligation passes to my children whether they benefited or not. This is why I call getting into perpetual debt selling your kids into slavery. You get money today at the cost of their future.

    I'm not sure I agree with you that Christianity is a failure as an ally in liberty.

    Christianity has been a driving force for liberty in the west. The magna carta was drafted by the archbishop of Canterbury and is considered one of the founding documents of modern liberty.

    Concepts such as all men being created equal and the idea of one law that applies to everyone are direct descendants of Christianity.

    It was under such circumstances that the freest societies in the history of the world developed. They didn't develop in China which was technologically superior for much of its history, nor any other part of the world. It developed in the west due to a confluence of factors including the influence of Christianity.

    It hasn't always been perfect and has its own scores of black marks, but if there's one thing I've been gaining an appreciation for it's the unusual society we're living in that's based on a really strange ideology that has led us to have the attitudes we have. If we didn't have certain factors people want to get rid of, it's likely we never would have developed to even care about something like liberty in the first place.

    You can remove easy mode if you want, but I'm gonna cheatengine myself over 9000 in all my stats because I'm old and bad at video games and want to pretend I finished a game despite only having 5 minutes at a time.

    My wife and I have been talking about the concept of forgiveness.

    Thing is, you can't truly forgive someone unless they're repentant. If they don't think they've done anything wrong then you really can't forgive them because in their minds there's nothing to forgive.

    Considering that we can see right now they're still doing the same things they did during COVID just in other areas of life, they're completely unrepentant. They want to be 'forgiven' because they're done with that particular thing but they're still using the same tactics for all the stuff they're still interested in, forcing what they want down everyone's throats the same way.

    Everyone remembers "Judge not lest ye be judged", but few people remember the next part: "Go and sin no more".

    It might be that you have to let go of old hatred for your own sake even if the other person is unrepentant, but that's much different than giving someone who is unrepentant full amnesty for their actions. It's a big difference, and the two forms of forgiveness mean something quite different in practical terms.

    I'd actually accept the idea that Trump isn't a conservative. He's a 90s Democrat. There are countless video examples of him espousing relatively progressive ideas, and relatively few of him really espousing conservative ideas. Even how he actually ran America is pretty liberal. How many Republican presidents would have loaded up lead bullets during the summer of love?

    I can't help but feel like federated sites are as p2p as they want to be. There's lots of small instances.

    tbh, free markets sure seem to be favoring asians at the moment.

    otoh, these people claim "whiteness" is defined by being rich, successful, and powerful because they're racist.
