What this means is that the White House still overestimates how much the military is in their pocket

When their enemy is civilians, they only need a few willing soldiers. China ordered several army units to use deadly force against protesters in Tiananmen Square. Several generals denied the order. Whole squads threw their wepons into the river and deserted. The Square was still covered in the blood of thousands. A few loyal soliders in tanks is all that's needed. The generals and soldiers who denied the order were court maritaled.

I'm not sure why leaders of political parties should be given a free pass. If you can't win an election because so many people dislike you, maybe you shouldn't be the leader?

I also doubt in this case that the hyper conservative riding suddenly has a change of heart and votes Liberal or NDP. The only real threats are the independent local candidates. Even then, I doubt they'll win. Poilievre explained in the debate that an independent doesn't have much power to do anything, so if they want actual change they should vote for him. Unfortunately, that is pretty accurate.

Absolutely no one should respect a billionaire who fucks over others to slightly see her numbers go up. She didn't need that money from cheating, but she did it anyways and fucked over everyone else.

To add some concrete numbers. Martha Stewart's net worth is about $400,000,000 and the insider trading was to avoid losing $40,000 in stock value. In other words, she fucked people over to avoid losing 0.01% of her wealth.

because apparently the constitution is detailed enough to specify things like that.

It's impossible for laws to include every single possible detail. Lawyers and judges exist to apply generic laws to specific cases. In this case, a lawyer argued that removing bike lanes creates a saftey issue and since the constitution says the government must protect "life and security of the person", removing bike lanes goes against the constitution. The judge agreed with the argument.

I'm bald.

the rules are clearly presented

I use Voyager. Community rules are hidden unless you specifically go to that community page, open the menu, and select "sidebar". It's incredibly easy to miss.

If a community only wants some people posting then a quick fix is to not allow just anyone to post to it.

Ancient Roman satirical poet Juvenal wrote that all people care about are "bread and circuses" over 2,000 years ago and it still applies.

I think it mostly comes down to baby duck syndrome. People don't like using a package manager for programs on their desktop but are fine using an app store on their phone (which might literally be running linux). People simply expect a desktop computer to work a specific way and when things are in different spots and called different things they get upset. I think it's changing as more companies bake Linux into their product.

Steam Decks running Linux changes people's impression of it. If a mainstream company sold desktop computers that came with Linux preinstalled I'm sure its use would skyrocket. It's not that it's impossible for the average user to understand, It's that it's not the default option.

I honestly think it comes down to the fact that I have never once thought about what “gangster” actually means, or how to measure it in a food. So when I said, “Today we are looking for the most gangster enchilada in Albuquerque,” I fucked myself. I fucked my film crew. I fucked the people of Albuquerque.

At least buy me an enchilada first!
