Even just a panicked 911 call followed by a huge bill you aren’t insured against. What a disaster that could be for someone.

Another argument against zero tolerance policies.

I mean yea, non consenting chemical alteration of someone’s mental state is a messed up thing, accidental or not. For someone not expecting it, or not used to it, you will likely think you’re sick. That could be distressing. It could be dangerous if that person were, say, headed off to work (nurse, doctor, crane operator, taxi driver, office worker on commute), or had been avoiding cannabis due to family history of psychosis, or has a damaged immune system and now fears they’ve caught something, we also feed pizza to kids.

Most probably nothing grim will come of this, and the jokes are fine I think, but we all should understand that this is serious.

What if I want to get sick?

Memes are just repeated statements, which can be facts or not.

Canada is great.

Trudeau has objectively not made the dollar worse though.

Someone sold you a bill of goods friend.

Ah, you’re one of those.

In 2015, when Harper was in office, the dollar was worth what it is now.

The dollar is back around where it was when Trudeau took office. In fact the last big collapse from parity happened under the last CPC prime minister, in his last year of office, when Pierre was in cabinet.

But how do they do the brainwashing? Water? Subliminal TV messages?

I just read that in Mayor Hummdingers voice. It fits perfectly.

Ugh, now all I can afford is “not me” to install them. Not experts that’s for sure.

(this is not a joke, not really).

No, I have a lot of experience in liberal organizations and they are not, despite the memes, closer to conservatism than progressivism. It honestly makes me feel like most people on lemmy have never really worked with liberal groups.

The major differences between a liberal and a social democrat or progressive comes down largely to deciding when a market has failed and when to use government intervention, both Liberals and progressives are fine with intervention, only the threshold changea. We want the same things, mostly, but disagree on how to get them.

Conservatives, philosophical Conservatives anyway, won’t typically even consider such a thing, and often do not even want the same things as Liberals or progressives.

This both sides same stuff just hurts progressive causes, because it sours mushy people with little to no real philosophy on voting for liberal parties. Those people flip flop back to Conservatives when they get angry and we lose the progress we’ve made, as is about to happen in Canada.

I know that conflating Liberals and Conservatives is practically lemmys official pass time, but I have to point out they are not the same.

Biden in the US and Trudeau in Canada both deserve a lot more credit than they get, but the mood in western nations is pretty sour.

That was some weird shit.

Replace the book with a soccer ball and the image works still.
