That's somehow worse and also surprising. I thought your previous governments were made of the worker's party and the Christian centrists. A quick trip to Wikipedia taught me I should stay up to date on politics if I'm going to comment on it.

So that makes me wonder: Why go further right if people feel the ruling right party let them down?

And there goes another country to the Alt-right. It's really disheartening to see a message like this continue to win elections globally.

I get that people are worried their left and centre left governments have failed them, but why the pull to the opposite extreme?

That's like saying you want to put ExxonMobil in charge of combating climate change because Greenpeace hasn't solved it yet.

I am actively getting worried she's more unhinged than Trump in certain ways. Which is a level I didn't think we'd stoop to.

It's really disheartening to read that people fleeing oppression and persecution in their home countries are welcomed in, only for us to in turn let their oppressors follow them here and continue to do the exact same thing. We can't take our role as safe haven for refugees seriously without ensuring their safety here.

And if we are really too busy with "Ukraine, Russia, and China" we should consider not offering asylum to people we can't protect. A false sense of security is worse than no security, and it's disingenuous of us to extend a hand only to withdraw it once they're here.

7/11 or bust. Seriously though, 7/11s coffee has the best gas station coffee in Canada and it's not even close.

Tim's used to be good, but they are speed running this chain into the ground. Quality is atrocious for every food item and notably the coffee, and their menu has a new desperate "hail Mary" item / category every month.

Tim's needs to either go bankrupt and get bought out by people that care, or just go away. It has no right to exist with so many better options on the market.

Hell, I'd prefer Starbucks over their crap by now, and Starbucks coffee tastes like burnt cigarette butt water.

Coal rolling is the stupidest shit ever in terms of car modifications. You're spending money to modify a vehicle so it will make less power, pollute more, and have reduced longevity.

There is no upside unless you're a massive asshole who likes to smoke screen bystanders, at which point you should be charged for assault with a deadly weapon.

Not only should eBay work harder to stop these mods being sold on their platform, people that roll coal should have their licenses suspended. And yes, they ought to be charged if they ever pull a stunt next to other road users.

And this, is how you sell a police state to the people. Pick an issue with a group of people that most people will agree with you on, drastically reduce legal protections for the target group, then gradually use the "success" of that policy to apply it to other cases, until it's common practice.

This is a very clear message that Åkesson doesn't value the course of justice, and that he's willing to use police violence for political ends.

Yeah, I'll look into that. It's just a shame to have to do extra work and spend extra money because a company decides to screw you over after your purchase.

Well, look who's looking like an idiot for setting up my entire house with Hue lights recently after running two bulbs with local control for years... sigh it's getting mighty frustrating having to deal with companies hoarding your data.

Why you should adopt all pets. I've seen some pretty bad situations with cats and birds before too. Just don't understand how people can subject an animal to suffering like that, especially when their livelihood depends on those animals looking healthy and fit.

Agreed. I want someone to step up and build a photography-centric phone like the Nokia Lumia 1020 again. I know lots of flagships can take good pictures nowadays, but that's something different from building an actual camera first phone.
