yes, but generally not when importing, because if you make all your subscriber re-confirm their membership, you'll lose a bunch of subscribers. Ghost & buttondown don't re-confirm either. They all say (including substack), "make SURE everyone on your list has opted in," but they can't really check.

Excuse me? No, I said French Canadian and I meant it. We're proud of Franco-Ontarians, and New Brunswick is proud of its Acadian community. Quebec doesn't own French, and you can fuck off with this asinine nationalistic Franco-Ontarian erasure.

he fumbled the party bit cuz it's hard to prove that the communist party has de facto control over the committees that nominate electoral candidates in a debate
he must've moved on to more concrete stuff (80% of voters approve every nominated candidate, no candidate has ever lost an election) after

![There are currently 470 seats in the National Assembly of People's Power, Cuba's unicameral legislature, reduced from 605 seats after the 2023 elections. There is only one candidate for each seat in the Assembly, with all being nominated by committees that are firmly controlled by the Communist Party.[2][3] Most legislative districts elect multiple representatives to the Assembly. Voters can select individual candidates on their ballot, select every candidate, or leave every question blank, with no option to vote against candidates.[4][5] (The following sentence is highlighted in the screenshot:) During the 2013 elections, around 80% of voters selected every candidate for the Assembly on their ballot, while 4.6% submitted a blank ballot; no candidate for the Assembly has lost an election in Cuban history.[6] Cuba was ranked second least electoral democracy in Latin America and the Caribbean according to V-Dem Democracy indices in 2023 with a score of 0.178 out of one.[7][8]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vu2vk2jx3jnugula6otbnrav/bafkreie3g7rtuttwul2n2u2flzyabrgzht2v3cieempa4nkjomylcgicpa@jpeg)

Ah ah ah! Not "the charges that matter." You said, "every one of those statements." You said "they are ALL lies/distortions" (emphasis mine).
Admit you were wrong, coward.

You're latching onto something I didn't say.

what interests me is, bad cozy media is saccharine, while good cozy media is invariably a bit grim
take Porco Rosso, the most soothing war movie I've ever watched. What makes it so tender is that it understands its tenderness as a respite from violence, and is thus unafraid to portray war & fascism

he talks about a lot of stuff in that article. It's worth noting that this isn't bullshit though—afaik, it's straightforwardly the state of food science w.r.t saturated and trans fats.
![[...] hydrogenation, which creates a new substance called a trans unsaturated fat. In the hierarchy of fats, polyunsaturated fats—the kind found in regular vegetable oils—are the good kind; they lower your cholesterol. Saturated fats are the bad kind. But trans fats are worse: they wreak havoc with the body’s ability to regulate cholesterol. According to a recent study involving some eighty thousand women, for every five-per-cent increase in the amount of saturated fats that a woman consumes, her risk of heart disease increases by seventeen per cent. But only a two-per-cent increase in trans fats will increase her heart-disease risk by ninety-three per cent. Walter Willett, an epidemiologist at Harvard—who helped design the study—estimates that the consumption of trans fats in the United States probably causes about thirty thousand premature deaths a year.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vu2vk2jx3jnugula6otbnrav/bafkreihgbvppcd7owpuu75copdzspmt7guip53ax47v5ikvv2nrfasn6bm@jpeg)

![Hi. I live in [your federal riding], and I’m calling about Bill S-209, which would force websites distributing adult content to implement an unspecified form of age verification.
A law like this has to be specific about how age verification can be implemented while protecting Canadians’ privacy. Bill S-209 is too vague, and Big Tech collects too much information about us as is. I don’t trust this bill to protect my privacy.
The United Kingdom passed a similar law recently, and from what I’ve seen in the news, it’s been a complete failure. “Highly effective, privacy-preserving” age verification technology just does not exist right now. I don’t want a half-baked bill like that to pass in Canada.
Until we find a better solution, the government should focus on informing parents about existing parental control tools that can protect their kids online. Unlike Bill S-209, these tools are highly effective and pose no risk to Canadians’ privacy.
Bill S-209 is the wrong approach for online safety. If it reaches the House of Commons, please make sure it does not pass.
Thank you for your time!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vu2vk2jx3jnugula6otbnrav/bafkreieoxoeuy5anilbstdfpwbykctbi5pubuqke57x3y6ofbwp2lul2ra@jpeg)

I'm not seeing any quotation marks in the highlighted passage or in the giant bold header. The most you can say for them is that they threw "allegedly" in there.

yeah the reason they're winning has less to do with hypocrisy (andrew tate is a huge hypocrite) or being annoying (andrew tate is extremely annoying) but simply with money.
You can buy popularity. What Tate actually does, the thing that made him famous, is a content creation pyramid scheme scam.

that said, when "good people start businesses," they need money from bad VCs, and are eventually forced to compromise their values or exit. The leftist critique of capitalism is not that the people in charge are evil, but that the system is structurally evil irrespective of how moral people are.
