"Now Canada is euthanising autistic people" - Spiked by Kevin Yuill, 28MAR24

>A father has discovered he is powerless to stop his perfectly healthy daughter being killed.

>Imagine one day you discover that your adult daughter, who still lives with you, wants to be euthanised. As far as you are aware, she is healthy. She suffers from autism and ADHD, but no physical illnesses or disabilities that you know of. You know that she has faced many difficulties in her life, but you love her and desperately want to prevent her death. You are left fighting against her doctors, who encourage her decision and are perfectly happy to help her go through with this. To make this nightmare even worse, no one will even tell you why your daughter has been approved to die.

So fun fact: An obscure #PC98 fighting game in many dumps of it contains a copy of the old Yankee Doodle DOS virus. Yep, somehow western DOS viruses did infect themselves to some degree on the PC-9801.

@eliasr I haven't in a while. I just find it ironic that this guy is bragging about someone blocking him over a FE debate when he blocked me for it a while back.

@Mr_NutterButter Flat-earthers tend to point out flight-paths that seem to only make sense on their map (the one that has the North Pole at the center). However, if you draw the flight paths on a globe they also make perfect sense.

This is because there is no perfect way to project the area of a 3D sphere onto a 2D surface.

Yet, this guy blocks me when I mathematically point out (without referencing NASA or any other space agency) how "emergency flight paths" don't prove flat earth.

@sjw I picked U for the worst shitposter on Poast.

@Indigo @icedquinn Don't expect successors to make reforms in a shadow oligarchy.

But....despite what I have claimed for a while, there is one way that voting *MIGHT* still work. Miles Mathis brought this up. It's a write-in-vote. You write your own ballot instead of using the pre-printed ones or any of the voting machines. You can pick candidates that are not on there. Legally, the booths aren't allowed to throw away ANY ballot. Granted, they can throw it away anyway, but if we can get the masses to do it, they won't be able to get away with it. Sure, it will be hard to get a majority on board, along with a presidential candidate that we can trust but it is worth discussing.

@icedquinn @Indigo My ideal candidate for this hypothetical write-in ballot would be independent, though he/she might alienate "mainstream leftists" because I want him/her to expose conspiracies (which are associated with the right these days) to the public.

@Indigo @xianc78 you have to break them of the idea that republicans and democrats are two separate parties, for one.

@Indigo @icedquinn I don't think it has anything to do with (s)elections. They just need to stir up outrage on both sides as much as possible to make people forget what they done to them just a few years ago.
