Sexism is the real killer. You loose half of the population from the pool. It not just a generational problem, the old guys teach this crap to the young guys and the young guys pass it on. My brother-in-law sucks with all of his sexist, anti-lgtba2+, racist bullshit. I keep getting told “it’s alright, he is in construction”. Well it’s not fucking alright, the kid is not even 25. I don’t blame people for staying away, they are all business run by sole proprietors so there never will be structure and rules to break the cycle.

I believe it is performative. They have to get all the Provinces to agree to a constitutional amendment and they won’t because this was not done democratically, this is not the will of the people. The will of the people does not include taking foreign money, it’s bad faith and undermines democracy. The real killer is that the First Nations will not agree to transferring their treaties that define their land. We don’t even respect the treaties as they are currently written, and it will get worse if another legal entity is involved because a 150+ year old contracts don’t align with modern law, so they will forever stay the same.

The once was something called noblesse oblige. Feudal lords and then nobels thought they had an obligation to be charitable towards people of lower standing. The general idea was these people work the land and support their success, so they should keep them healthy and satisfied. Also this prevented revolts.

The gentry in 1790s France choose to ignore this tradition. “Let them eat cake( the fancy bread)” was an expression that came out of this shift and we all know what happened after that. After that that the principal was brought back. Old money in the new and old world followed it because they understand how to be successful over multiple generations.

Guess where we are again. The new money billionaires have no concept of noblesse oblige and they will soon find out that to have multiple generational wealth, means surviving with your head on your body. Just a little fun fact, when people talk about techno-fuedalism

I looked it up. It is loosely write as you said, however that swings both ways.

There was something else I did notice. The provinces have to agree to the constitutional amendment required to allow Alberta to separate. All it takes is one Premier to say that the referendums were not done democratically. They would have to go through everything that was done in bad faith in front of parliament and be willing to pay the massive political cost of doing so.

The thing that is actually impossible is getting the First Nations to agree to leave Canada. I would guess they have claim to more than 75% of the land, leaving Alberta to be a fraction of the size it once was. Those treaties are a goddam mess and can basically never be modified.

I will have to look this up again but the clause that allows for Provinces to possibly leave the Federation has a stipulation that this must be done free of foreign interference. Basically what they are doing has been invalid from the start. When the idiots in Alberta were astroturfed by outside influence to believe that there is a desire for separation, it was already technically invalid. Since they are openly collaborating, it is clearly invalid and parliament can’t accept the result of whatever crap they do. Danielle Smith and the UPC know this and her actions make a lot more sense when you understand that they can do whatever and they know they will never have to deal consequences of running Alberta as a country. The sad part is that conservative politics are so garbage they are doing this instead of helping people.

Nothing Soraya and friends’ do, comes from a good place.

look at the Git repo, they have outputed more code in 2026 than I will ever type out in my lifetime.

How much do you understand the code base? how did you output 1+ million lines of code in 2026? If something comes up in your life or you decide to stop maintaining the project, is the code maintainable by other people.

You don’t invade a country where they all are better educated than you, have better wealth equality than you, look and talk exactly like you, and have an endless supply of ANFO. It would be the troubles 10x and we can send fully equipped sabotage raids basically anywhere in your homeland. The border is too large to defend.

For real, I have a 8BitDo N64 controller conversation kit to make it a BT controller with a hall effect stick. Does not change a thing. Mario Kart’s controls are atrocious as the controls are for most games. I guess the 3Cs are hard when you are the first generation of 3D games.
