I don’t really mind more frequent elections. If anything, the govt needs a shorter leash and more accountability. The population should be able to remove a bad govt almost instantly, say in 30 days, not in 3.5 years. Regardless of their success in the previous election.

I’d be even more insistent on a low bar for recalls if the electoral contest was truly fair, ie the advantages of the wealthy in influencing outcomes were entirely removed. That seems very far away. The problems in the contest really seem to obscure the problems with choices of election systems like FPTP vs PR etc.

this poll was way off… 10% high for NDP… 6% low for SP…

Good to keep in mind whenever you see polls. They’re garbage.

The NSA has many kinks. Watching people watch porn, precious bodily fluids/anti-flouride porn, that kind of thing. Good for them.

the NSA or other intelligence org invented it and provides ongoing funding to collect an enormous library of SHA256 hashes to aid in reducing the decryption space of SHA256 so they can watch people watching porn.

part of the idea is that clicking every ad presented destroys the ad system’s ability to do meaningful targetting. I’m happy about that. Without the data collection and analysis performed by Google, Amazon, and Meta, advertising through them is less attractive to advertisors.

Most of the advertisors are lying garbage too. I have no sympathy for them.

AdNauseum. Built on uBlock Origin.

Block all the ads so you never seem them, but click them all so the advertisor pays.
