The outrageous is happening right now. This is just one more item on the list.

I can answer yes in both directions. It's amazing the toll stress can have on your mental health, whether that stress be environmental factors or biochemical imbalances. In the right, or wrong, environment 6 years can completely change who you are.

This isn't to say she committed suicide, I don't know her and barely know of her, but your opinion is verifiably incorrect, and more likely to be incorrect for someone who has suffered significant trauma followed up by years of emotional abuse.

I prefer computers do what I tell them to rather than what it thinks I meant to tell it to. If I screw up, why isn't it on me to fix it? And why aren't you proofing data entry before accepting it?

Think of it from a math perspective. The non-transphobic stance would be that woman is the superset which contains subsets of trans, cis, and others. The comment says they're two separate sets, woman and transwoman. This is why cis doesn't have to be used, because woman is sufficient to describe the set, because trans women aren't part of it.

You make me want to be a worse person.

Canada simply can't afford to match America in conventional warfare. America has a more powerful military than the next 5 countries combined, and Canada isn't one of those. Unconventional warfare, on the other hand. I can't think of anything stupider than starting an unconventional war with a neighboring country with an incredibly long, weakly inhabited, border and a population that looks and sounds mostly like your own citizens. If even 1% of Canadians had a problem with that, there would be half a million insurgents that couldn't be easily identified.

Love that "disruptive" is a valid term for companies like that.

This is something I find funny. Take the description of angels in the Bible. Now, how would you describe the following image if you didn't have knowledge of the modern world?

This reeks of the whole Gaza situation, but Canadian mild. Realistically, until our election process changes, those are our two choices. So our choices are: repeal the capital gains tax change and the carbon tax; or repeal those two plus a whole bunch of other things. You say whataboutism, I say the two practical choices we have at this juncture.

I've already said that there are good arguments for why this shouldn't be considered a concentration camp, and this isn't one of them. This is like saying genocide isn't genocide because the unique tribe you wiped out was only a couple hundred people. So, if you took that same tribe of people and put them in a camp and resteicted their movement, would you not consider it a concentration camp because of it's size?

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of criminals imprisoned in America have been interrogated without having to be removed to a different country and kept in a special prison. I imagine the exceptions are military personnel stationed outside America, criminals serving sentences in other countries, and the people at Guantanamo bay? So why are they being treated differently?

No, someone just said it's not a concentration camp because everyone of one demographic wasn't there.

Actually, on further thought, I'll give you that. But, unsurprisingly, limited rights abuses tend to lead to more extensive rights abuses, and the only really surprising thing is that it took more than 20 years to go from torture camps to concentration camps. Waiting for those ghettos, Poland style.
