I love the party of small government and red tape reduction!

Get ready - UCP is about to pass a law saying who's allowed to run in elections next time. Only the "serious" need apply. Is this partisan? No answer to that. Column.

So it’s strange: was this just for the large cities? because I definitely didn’t have to do that

I hate that this stupid government has their brains so thoroughly cooked on alt-right wing media from the US they think our municipal elections are a hotbed of voter fraud

Dang (I didn’t, but my town has like 850 residents and it literally took 2 minutes)

I was hearing reports from Sherwood Park that even though people were registered to vote they still had to fill out paperwork?

How was it in whichever city you’re in?

(honest question) what are the “good” video games? artistically i mean, not in a “i enjoyed this escapist slop” kind of way

James @gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social · 21d

Well. It's not Red Dead Redemption 2, but it's like one of three video games I'd genuinely consider good.

These replies just miss being children and spending time with friends, but I do miss browsing at the video store

I borrow movies from the library; it's not organized by genre and the sides of the cases are out for efficient storage. That makes it harder to just wander through and find something

Boo!-per Lund @cooperlund.online · 11h

Yeah, I think I see the problem here - it's not that the video store was good, it's that you miss being a teenager

I don’t think grunge is necessarily a part of what I’m getting at

Grunge is a partially sincere and earnest rejection of the aesthetics of 80s hair rock and whatnot
