Outlaw Country is a musical style and doesn’t actually relate to anything political. It’s a funny pun but not really an example of doublethink. Conservatives who like Rage Against the Machine however…

Lakan? Is that you?

The leader of the official opposition has no power? During a minority government?

He controls the shadow cabinet, leads discussion during question period, has the right to meet with foreign dignitaries, gets to participate in government committees (and chairs several committees themselves), gets funding for staff and office space.

An independent gets 1 vote and a few minutes to speak during question period.

I’m not sure why leaders of political parties should be given a free pass. If you can’t win an election because so many people dislike you, maybe you shouldn’t be the leader?

I also doubt in this case that the hyper conservative riding suddenly has a change of heart and votes Liberal or NDP. The only real threats are the independent local candidates. Even then, I doubt they’ll win. Poilievre explained in the debate that an independent doesn’t have much power to do anything, so if they want actual change they should vote for him. Unfortunately, that is pretty accurate.

I honestly think it comes down to the fact that I have never once thought about what “gangster” actually means, or how to measure it in a food. So when I said, “Today we are looking for the most gangster enchilada in Albuquerque,” I fucked myself. I fucked my film crew. I fucked the people of Albuquerque.

At least buy me an enchilada first!

The UK has multiple political parties and free democratic elections. Just because the current government passed a law you don’t agree with doesn’t mean the country is authoritarian.

Shirt buttons are sown onto the left side of women’s clothes and the right side of men’s. The buttons on his shirt are on his right side.

I’m assuming OP means maybe the DNA model has the helix spinning the wrong way because the image was flipped horizontally, but that would cause the shirt buttons to be on the wrong side for men’s clothes.

They’re both “linters”. They analyze your code without executing it, known as “static analysis”, and highlight logical and stylistic errors.

Pylint will give you warnings if you try to feed a variable that holds an integer into a function that works on strings or if you deviate from python’s suggested style guide. Python doesn’t check data types until you actually run your code, so errors with data types won’t be caught until your program crashes. Using pylint allows you to get warnings before actually executing your code. Note that Python allows for type hinting which allows you to tell linters what data types variables and functions are allowed to be. Python itself ignores type hints when executing code.

Black automatically formats your code to adhere to Python’s suggested style guide. Unlike something like Pylint, it cannot be configured to ignore certain style rules. All projects using Black will have the same style. Python gives a lot of leeway in how you can format valid code, but it’s difficult for programmers to read code in dozens of different styles. Most languages have come up with their own style guide. For example, your first line does not match the suggested style. All imports should be on their own line. If you don’t want to remeber all the rules yourself, you can use Black to format your code in a way everyone is agreeable with.

Alright, this is just silly.

Definitely! That’s why I said it’s possible non-consenting stuff took place after the video ends. It’s entirely possible, but people don’t go to jail because it’s possible they committed a crime.

I also don’t believe that the Crown even argued that consent was revoked. I believe their argument was she was too drunk to consent so what she said in the video doesn’t matter. Again, possible, but they couldn’t prove that beyond a doubt.

I’m not a lawyer either, but reading the judge’s verdict, it sounds like the only evidence the prosecution had was the woman’s testimony. The defence had video recordings of the women verbally consenting. Kinda hard to prove beyond a doubt that the woman did not consent when it’s on video. Not that some non-consenting stuff didn’t happen when the video was turned off but again, a guilty verdict requires no doubt.

That’s what the CBC article is about. How sexual assault victims often don’t come forward since securing a conviction is incredibly difficult on testimony alone.

CTV news is doing live updates on the ruling. The judge is going over evidence that seems to suggest the complainant was sober and consented. No official ruling yet, but I don’t think the judge starting off by saying the woman’s testimony is not credible leads to a guilty verdict.

Edit: all five ruled not guilty on all charges

Back in my day, it was only a penny for someone’s thoughts!

Maybe I come off wrong in text? I wasn’t trying to be an ass. I don’t think any of my comments were rude. There’s a comment in this thread calling someone a cuck with upvotes. I’d say that’s being an ass. I was just trying to be realistic.

I’ve never said don’t sign it. I’m saying don’t be surprised when the EU declines to change laws. It’s probably going to take more than a petition to actually see change.

RISE UP, GAMERS!

I literally cannot tell if this is meant to be satire.

It’s not mutually exclusive. I’d suggest people do as many things as they can.

A boycott of the worst companies. I’ve seen lots of people commenting they’re never buying an Ubisoft game again under pretty much every article in relation to them. Perhaps boycotts haven’t worked in the past but this seems to have enough support and momentum that it could have a real direct impact. Recently, boycotts have been pretty impactful as the world has stopped buying US products and within the US, conservative groups have influenced many companies with boycott and social media campaigns against companies. It’s also something that all supporters globally can participate in rather than everyone just hoping a European law might affect products purchased elsewhere.

The petition was a great way to gauge support, but I feel like people are going all in on its success and when the EU parliament likely issues its “we take consumer protection seriously which is why we already have the best laws in the world and don’t need to change anything” statement, people are just going to act defeated. There’s going to be a doomer post about how the EU parliament is corrupt and piratesoftware is the devil that gets 1000 upvotes and then that’ll be it instead of using the support and momentum in a more direct and impactful way.

There are lots of ways to make a change. It shouldn’t be all in on a single petition and that’s it. That’s not how social and political changes happen.
