Pirate Software, a former Blizzard and Amazon Games dev, did a YouTube video on this recently with some fair criticisms of the initiative. It’s worth a watch.

This is why I use an email aliasing service now. Every new site gets a different email address but they all get forwarded to the same account. If one ever misbehaves, their associated email address alias gets deactivated. It’s great to keep track of who’s selling addresses too.

Sometimes unsubscribe just isn’t good enough.

They weren’t social liberals but they were still liberals nonetheless, and their position on the spectrum was closer to where most liberals are internationally, the centre-right. Take a look at Australia and Britain’s liberals for example. Only in the US are liberals considered to be the left wing because there’s only 2 viable options and actual leftists in the US who vote have to settle with being in the same party as liberals rather than having their own party, which the fptp voting system would ensure would fail. US media has not helped by misrepresenting the definition for decades.

The federal party is run by social liberals, which are centrist.

I’ve been hiking most weekends in northeastern Ontario. There’s been a lot of rain but I haven’t let that stop me from enjoying the forests and lakes

Have we ever thought they were a solution and not just a stopgap?

Until proper alternatives are fully operational, EVs are not the worst thing.

You’re undercutting your own argument here.

EVs make sense in rural contexts, but that is and will always be a niche application. We can’t afford to ignore the bigger picture - most people live in cities. There are more efficient and better options to decarbonize cities than electric cars.

As the other commenter pointed out, electric cars are a step. A lot of people living in cities are ready to go farther now though. Let’s not ignore them or get in their way.
