Some good reading here thank you.

Just to nitpick a bit and also to concede a mutual (I hope) “we don’t know yet”.

A few of these articles are prior to the leadership change and may be representative of the previous gongshow with a leader getting high on their own supply.

I guarantee the BCPC did not adequately vet before the leadership due to the time ol’ dumbass Eby gave them so the concern is something comes out especially damning as journalists begin vetting further.

What I will say is some of the articles are what seems to be reporting bias such as the “declaration of war” which seems less about discussing potential policy changes and more about inflammatory language by the opposing party?

Now what pisses me off more than anything is ol’ dumbass Eby could have held power for another 2 years but instead, when the opposition was their most vulnerable called a snap election. Were I a BC voter I would be pissed to. Motherfucker could have continued to run the province as a status quo. He actively decided to fuck that up for literally no good reason. I would argue the average BC voter agreed with me on that assessment by either voting Conservative or staying home.

Any of the specific points raised. I will admit I follow CBC closely both TV and radio and I haven’t not heard any of this. I also follow numerous podcasts and haven’t heard any of this as well.

Reputable news sources explaining all this in relation to the BC Conservatives?

Reputable news source reporting on this?

Conservative != Bad

I really have been disappointed over the last few days reading comments here that amount to that.

I haven’t voted Conservative since Harper but it was clear that in BC (I’m in Ontario) Eby shit the bed with a vote no one wanted when the system was not prepared. The voters saw through his bullshit and they punished him and the NDP accordingly.

How about we wait and see what they do before we default to “oh no here we go downhill again”?

Doesn’t stop the majority of people speaking bloody murder when the dog does bite back. “OMG what could cause the dog to act like this?!”

It’s somewhere in my parents basement. My dad has read it for that reason. I would feel dirty just opening the book lol

Ah hell nah they do not want that Orenia loving Afrikaans shitheel back

Lowkey anyone wonder if/when Usha and his “halfbreed” kids are going to disappear or how is that going to work?

Man Trevor Noah is right, racism is dumb AF.

jQuery still won’t die eh?

As much as I hate php, JavaScript is an equal pile of shit when it comes to languages.

I don’t pretend to be more important than I am.

Control what you can, accept what you can’t.

If someone cares enough they will find everything they need to know. The difference is the time and effort.

The sad fact no one wants to admit is none of us are special and no one gives a shit.

I would argue it’s also convenience as well.

I think most people would tell you they want their data private as default. The fact of the matter though, that many in places like this don’t want to hear, is the majority of people simply do not give a shit.

That doesn’t mean they’re wrong headed or don’t care about privacy. It just means the convenience is more important.

Fact of the matter is if you use a computer attached to The Internet nothing is private. If you think this I have a bridge to sell you.

Always did. They vote UCP and have taken over the party.

Nope I meant if you have an unhealthy obsession about privacy.

Normal people understand privacy but they aren’t insane about it.

Example - I still use whatsapp because my relationships with my family and friends is more important.

Anna Karenina

Everyone needs to read it once in their lives. It’s the best love story ever written IMHO

Barring that, people read any Russian classic. Their literature just hits different. Say what you want about the government, but the people are so beautiful in their complexity.

Speaking from personal experience the ones who rail the most about privacy are the ones doing the shadiest shit.

I’m waiting to see the elusive Arch, Jellyfin Vegan stack in the wild. We know they exist and they are fucking telling everyone

Doesn’t change that it’s in all of us even if you don’t personally act on it.

We all have it in our capacity to do great good or great evil in the world.

For idiots like me a good example of this analogy is LeBron James. When he is on your team you all objectively get better.

LeBron is the rising tide. His teammates are the boats.
