You need only to look at his ideology to realize that Charlie Kirk was 100% in support of his own assassination.

And that he would have also been 100% in favour of this professor’s right to speak her mind.

This, exactly. They’re letting the violent bullies dictate the terms.

And that never ends well.

I kept reading about people having trouble during the restore process.

It is Duplicati, and IMHO restores work best if they aren’t restores-in-place. As in, dump the restores in a central location then drag-and-drop the data into place. Most of the issues I have heard of involve restoring data and settings back to where it originally was backed up from, and restoring directly back to those places - other than fully user-controlled directories, such as Documents or Photos - seems to be problematic.

Other than that, I have been using it for nearly a decade and have done a number of restores - after total drive deaths, so not just accidentally deleted files - to great success.

The downside is that tweaking backups from within the hidden C:\Users\[username]\AppData\ directory involves many days of whack-a-mole to exclude untouchable normally-in-use files so you don’t get scads of errors in the backup process. Plus, there are a fair number of entries in there that don’t really need backing up. But once you get that to settle down, it’s largely smooth it’s-set-so-forget-it sailing.

About the same point that the Americans figured it out. Some of them haven’t yet.

MAGA farmers voted that shit in because they thought all the bad shit would happen to someone else.

Problem is, Fascism/Authoritarianism doesn’t give a shit who it hurts, only that the ultra-wealthy benefit.

And so, all working class voters must be hurt, even those who voted the Fascists/Authoritarianists into power.

And yet, almost 100% of Orchardists and Farmers have and will continue to vote for him, despite the entire industry absolutely requiring foreign workers in order to exist.

I wonder how long it would take for those people to hit the FO part of FAFO, if this were to ever pass?

How can we expect kids to mature and learn responsibly and citical thinking if we remove challenging material?

Conservatism requires an un-educated/under-educated electorate that can be trivially manipulated using alternative facts. It just cannot survive otherwise.

That’s not to say conservatism doesn’t have its fair share of intelligent people. But they’re the ones at the top or using money to manipulate the party from the shadows, trying to get the working class to vote against their own best interests.

For every C-Suite salary that you bring down to a professor’s wages, you free up enough money to hire about 3-4 more professors, and up to 6 more at places like UBC.

There is more than enough money at these institutions to keep all the staff gainfully employed, you just have to start economizing from the top.

Seconded. I watch CBC precisely because of their unbiased, unvarnished reporting of the horrors that the Palestinian people are suffering from.

And the title of this video - which I can only assume was fake and has been taken down, because it is currently inaccessible - is somewhat unbelievable. Why would oppressed natives, themselves victims of genocidal colonizers, support the genocidal colonizers of another place?

And what happened with Waco? A lot of the top morons died. And then nothing more happened. No grand uprising, no wider movement against the government.

They are killing people for not being able to afford basic healthcare

It’s up to you to prove that statement. Provide us with the records that highlight these reasons.

But you can’t. Because they don’t exist. They never have. You’ve been brainwashed into believing anti-reality fantasies.

But I hear the Canadian government abuses it for eugenics purposes.

The problem with this is that it is trivially disprovable.

Of all the cases that allow MAiD to proceed, less than 2% are for non-terminal diseases or afflictions. The other 98% are for cases where recovery will be impossible, pain tends to be immense and untreatable, and any continuing “life” will be an increasing torture for the subject.

Allowing the subjects to choose their own deaths is a blessing. it allows them to go out on their own terms, instead of being kept alive as a near-corpse on life support, or screaming in pain all the way until their hearts seize up from the stress.

The people for whom MAiD most benefits would be utterly unserved by “better healthcare”. By the time they need it, no amount of “better healthcare” can help.

They just want people to die

And you just want unnecessary, torturous cruelty. Cruelty by forcing people to linger on in abject pain and confusion and non-life for your own selfish reasons.

Quit being a bigot.

Edit: do you know what doctor’s Hippocratic Oath says?

It says “Do No Harm.”

And forcing a person with an incurable, painful, lingering death is not just horrifically harmful, it is Satan-levels of harm in most cases. It is hell on Earth.

You want to be as cruel and evil as Satan? Do that for yourself. Just stay TF away from everyone else.

TL;DR: just like the old saying goes, if you don’t like assisted suicide, don’t use that method yourself. Stay the hell out of other people’s lives.

I’m sure that would immediately put my father’s untreatable dementia into immediate remission. /s

I’m sure my father’s untreatable dementia will just self-cure upon hearing your obscenely ignorant statement.

And for the record, non-terminal/non-disease reasons account for less than 2% of people reaching for this service. It’s practically a rounding error.

a photo of the man has been released to the public as investigators urge more people with information to contact them.

Okay, so why does CHEK News not include this photo?

Like, jeez. My parents could have used the guy. They’re live in the same city of West Kelowna. They’re not his target demographic, but still.

Timmie’s used to be really good. But when private equity (the foreign owners) came in, they cut a lot of things that made the products superior. The brand of coffee was changed, the donuts were made centrally and shipped out, and a lot more “cost-cutting” features.

I still grab a French Vanilla when I need something sweet that has a decent caffeine base to keep me awake. But the quality has slipped such that I would rather make my own coffee at home than get theirs. A FV is just a convenience purchase at this point, something I get when I don’t have the opportunity to make my own coffee.

The Socratic Method tends to be effective in many cases so long as the other person remains open to reason and logic, especially the requirement for evidence.

Brainwashing gets increasingly easy the younger the subject is. Children, in particular, have an evolutionary need to automatically trust adults and what adults tell them, as they don’t yet have the cognitive tools to handle the world around them. Trusting adults have been baked into that part of childhood development because, historically speaking, it gave a distinct evolutionary advantage. Those children that listened to adults had a much stronger probability of surviving until adulthood.

It’s why religions so strongly proselytize the young – get them young, get them for life.

All you have to do is make it illegal to expose or proselytize religion to anyone under 22, and religion would likely die out within 2-3 generations.

When you have been raised as a rationalist and know, at a fundamental level, the bullshit detection system called the Scientific Method, you need to have some pretty powerful mental illness in play to willingly grasp at religion.

I’m morbidly curious about the downvoter we routinely have in posts like this… cultivated ignorance or religious anti-reality?
