I mean, Russia would gain a country's worth of land if Europe and America would just fuck off, so I'd say he has as much to gain as any given billionaire in America and Europe. And politically weakening your opponents by sowing division among their electorate seems like a relatively easy way to do it. Hell, there's even a book about it.

Certainly, those billionaires have been pushing in the same direction, but I think they have help.

I just love the people who go crazy when the government passes a law that people are sure will be unconstitutional, and of course the latest time the Liberals did it Poilievre was all over it, then when says he will not only pass unconstitutional laws but will use the Notwithstanding clause to keep them, they are suspiciously silent.

Poilievre isn't an idiot, for all his other failings. Just because he hasn't outright said how far he's willing to take things doesn't mean he doesn't have plans to. It has the potential to be very bad.

It was sarcasm, which seems to be harder to convey in text than any number of battery advancements.

Just watch for graphics tearing. On a completely unrelated note, why are earthquake zones so heavily populated?

Also, the battery pack for a cell phone 30 years ago was about the same volume and weight of an entire smartphone, with a capacity of about 500 mAh. They are also far cheaper if you account for inflation.

Batteries have improved incapacity by about a factor of 10 and the cost per watt-hour has reduced by about 99% in the last 30 year. All without a single advancement in the technology, apparently.

I've never used one in my life, but I feel like it would have more impact in a language with writing rules such as Spanish's.

And also the sexy agent thing.

What exactly does this have to do with anything in the above comment?

Yeah, I'm not sure why so many adults try so desperately to forget what they were like as kids and teenagers. Rather than stop their biological urges, curb them or direct them towards safe release. Letting them figure it out on their own, and how else can they if you don't actually teach them, is a recipe for disaster.

Two of the best ways to reduce teen pregnancy are sex education and easy access to contraceptives.

This could be the right time to use an interrobang.

Edit: no need to repeat myself. I think European would have been a more reasonable label.

Hard not to imagine some less homophobic members of the design group looking at that and saying, "Sure, that looks very masculine," with the most serious face they can hold.

I think you're misinterpreting some of that info. There are a number of countries where children born out of wedlock are the majority, primarily in Latin America and Western Europe. In America, it seems to be hovering around 40% for the last 8 years and worldwide it's about 15 percent, with Asia doing a lot to keep that number down.
