The behaviour you’re describing is someone who only has insults for their argument. You cannot win a logical argument so you resort to this.

What is the “logical argument” you believe you have made that I have not responded to?

Is the “insult” throwing back your “undemocratic and partisan” comment and calling it childish projection?

Or was it “insulting” telling you that this

Hopefully the greens and the conservatives refuse to so we have a minority government.

is not how it works?

I am assuming you find both a question about your comment, and calling out your childish behavior, as direct insults on you as a person so please attempt to be clear this time.

Sounds like someone is undemocratic and partisan.

I am happy to see you demonstrate your self awareness even if it had to be delivered with childish projection.

So you just want to scream your non sense at the internet?

Got it. Take care.

The government did not win the majority of the vote so they should not have a majority.

What does this

Hopefully the greens and the conservatives refuse to so we have a minority government.

have to do with that?

Would you mind getting off your soap box for a moment to sort this out?

I think you are the one who needs to explain their point of view regarding an NDP speaker creating a minority Government.

That isn’t how it works.

What makes you think an AGI wouldn’t need our species in some way?

I agree on all fronts.

We need a better system in BC, and across Canada, that would see proportional representation in our Government.

I don’t think it is a bad thing for the Greens to hold the balance of power, in fact I enjoy minority Governments compared to Majority governments.

The Greens in BC are a lot different from the Federals in many ways, and I would vote for them if they had a chance in my riding, but at the end of the day I have always voted NDP with a nod to the Greens because the NDP has a more realistic and attainable platform.

As far as BC politics go, in a nut shell, it is a damn mess and always has been. haha

Seeing that the Conservatives cannot form a government even if they win the last two seats is comforting after a stress filled week.

It is especially sweet that the NDP is still in the hunt for a majority.

How is character.ai responsible for the suicide of someone clearly in need of mental health help?

Facebook doesn’t hand out your personal information to others, and if you think they do, then you don’t understand how targeted ads work.

It is explicitly stated in the TOS that Meta does indeed hand out your personal information to others.

If you think they don’t, read the TOS.

What good are polls when we are literally waiting for the results to come in?

Is there major platform that is not a hot bed of bigotry?

No need for. Solar panels and batteries are at an historically low price and will even become more affordable. There’s simply no economical justification for nuclear energy.

How many solar panels and batteries are needed to power every electrical grid on the planet?

Where do we locate all of the panels and batteries?

Where do we get all of the materials for all of the panels and batteries?

What is the total cost to operate and maintain that global power grid?

What is the lifespan of the grid?

What happens to all of the panels and batteries at end of life, and how much does it cost?

Your phone.

Don’t worry he also says that he will balance that budget as long as he forms Government twice in a row.

Just like the good ol’ Liberal days for Rustad from 2005-2022.

Because social media is just that: media. They’re platforms for ads and marketing that are more akin to broadcast media with a parasocial interactive twist. Contrast that with social networking which facilitates connections between actual people.

At some point in the last two decades, those distinctions have blurred, often to great shareholder benefit.

That is one way to say a lot while saying nothing at all, and it is weird how many people want to pretend they aren’t using social media while using social media.

What are you doing to make “connections between actual people”? How is that different from anyone else using a different platform?

Lemmy is not social media to you because there is no one using it to advertise, market, or broadcast themselves to the greater population?

Or is it because there is no “media” available on the website?

Or is it just because you say so?

And? I can post definitions too! Dictionaries are not that difficult to use.

message board noun 1: a board or sign on which messages or notices are displayed an electronic message board 2: a public electronic forum that allows users to post or read messages or to post or download files and that is accessed by computer over a network (such as the Internet)

True, you can post definitions and demonstrate that dictionaries are very easy to use.

Try reading and understanding those definitions next.

When you are all caught up I won’t be here to finish whatever it is you are trying for here.

Because message boards have existed both in physical and online for a god damn millenia before fucking facebook and myspace were a whisper in the balls of the creator’s fathers. I have no fucking idea who any of you clown shoes are and I don’t fucking care either.

Children playing show and tell is more social media than online message boards.

Cool story.
