the computer use aspect is really nice for dealing with web forms etc

I've found instinct pretty handy as basically an executive function prosthesis, but it's not something I'd pay more than $5-10 a month for

for github.com/futurGH/pina... I found depth 5 covered nearly every post I could think of, 7 was totally exhaustive but not really worth the exponential storage growth (1 depth = like/repost/quote/link/ancestor any level/descendant any level)

I think polling on par with the PCQ is a far cry from dead!

it's more just a case of being awkwardly boxed in by the various parks & schools immediately south of Square One, as well as the preexisting density on Webb Dr

I think, absent zoning, natural growth of City Centre would be much more east/west than southwards

so where's that internal 13 point lead

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

whatever Carla Beck may say, that is not happening lmao, the org is by and large still disproportionately run by westerners; and that's before we get into (declining of course, but still very influential) union involvement

I mean, most of the fed NDP volunteers/org staff in BC are one and the same with those of the provincial party, so I'm more interested from a party-internal POV; it's in everyone's interest to keep morale up & relationships strong, even if they may not prefer to be side by side politically

I'm also interested to see to what degree the federal NDP gets involved, I imagine Lewis would much rather be siding with Lowan than Eby

230

I'm not too surprised, he's an oddball! I agree, I think the most out-there yet not absurd possibility in my mind would be both Eby and the interim CPBC leader flubbing the debates and getting a sort of Quebec situation

130

what in the name of wayne gretzky is that

I think she's in a strong position with incumbency + leader effect to keep the Weaver/May types while focusing outreach & messaging to try and win young progressives in urban NDP ridings

yeah I'd guess she's more the sort of person who's passively immersed in NIMBY vibes than someone who's thought about housing much in either direction, median Green is far from Mike Schreiner unfortunately, though I don't think that'll hurt her much unless she's looking at a vote share of, like, 25%

I've seen even a number of normie con-ish people saying things along the lines of "I don't agree with anything she has to say but she's very good at saying them"

I think she has a good shot at making inroads, people won't be happy with Eby & she's a pretty good communicator; I was skeptical when she was elected but she's grown into the role really fast, it's good that she's running in a fairly safe seat, she'll be great in the legislature

I like how there's exactly one picture of her, lizzo vibes

opus 5.5 is an interesting model, very golden retriever, seems to like calling tools even more than gpt models

I think it's even a stretch to call it national immigration policy as much as "Ford's immigration policy that the feds were too asleep at the wheel to do anything about"

this is likely the best chance the NDP will have, the it seemed like the conservatives were weak and unlikely to coalesce, but they got over their differences very quickly after the election was called & have a pretty uncontroversial moderate leader who might be able to make headway

000

the conservatives? because they'd rather compromise than lose the ministers? can't know for sure; two of them have tough races ahead of them, the third was decently likely to be the next leader, possible explanation is that he wants to distance himself from the imminent loss to return in 4 years

100

we're just happy to be acknowledged

030

conservatives near-immediately coalesced, multiple NDP ministers are stepping away
