Thanks for the explanation. Is a second space a space you're obligated to be, like work/school, or just anywhere you spend most of your time regardless?

I have so much respect for people who go beyond intention with their decency.

Thank you for that detail

That last bit is both surprising but also makes total sense.

So basically when translated directly from Russian, "the" means that the place is no a sovereign place (eg, a hill). This is done deliberately to lull people into the idea that Ukraine is not an independent state. Ukraine has asked Russia to refrain from this, which it doesn't. But we don't have to collude. Fair enough.

That is absolutely terrifying. Good instincts on your part. I'm assuming/hoping she was okay?

Place your bets everyone, which way do you think this will go?

1. Canada doesn't pass the surveillance law

2. The law passes and some/all of Signal/DDG/NordVPN remain anyway

3. The law passes and they exit Canada

We should also be boycotting USA until they honour their treaties with the tribes.

First they came for our users and I did not speak up ...

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) is funded by US tech billionaire Robert Shillman.

I would argue that similar tech in our lives causes similar issues. We don’t write things down anymore - just scroll on, with a fragmented mish-mash memory of what we’ve seen. Some capacity for retention gets exhausted in a given day. Just what I’ve observed in myself or among friends/family.

We vote for governments only to be betrayed for big-oil and genocide. The message to Britons in 2026 is clear: leave your decency at home or face the consequences.

“War criminal” is not a dirty word to those people, and it comes with rewards, not consequences. See UK and Tony Blair, for example.
