- What? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 21:14 1
  - Oh! Sorry. Scents, yeah. I had to take an hour break before I thought of that combo. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 21:15
Mop: yes, my previous employer also moved while I worked there. That move was much smoother than the current one. Heh. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 20:35

    - and Nickelback? -- nm - zork Apr 19, 20:46 2
      - Let's not say things we can't take back. -- nm - Roger More Apr 19, 20:47 1
        
        I've actually never knowingly listened to them. I'm sure that if someone forced me to listen, I might recognise a song or two - zork Apr 19, 20:58
i fully expect a denny's report from the b.irthday girl -- nm - pixitude Apr 19, 20:32
I have a voting conundrum for the first time in a while - Reagen Apr 19, 20:15 33
- I think my decision is clear. - Subversive Apr 19, 20:53 10
  - oh yeah. if you're anywhere even close to rural and don't want WR in, vote PC. -- nm - Reagen Apr 19, 20:54 9
    - Serious question because I haven't followed the election due to new family and shitty shitty work right now: What do you fear? - Name Withheld By Request Apr 19, 20:55 8
      - Reform2? -- nm - zork Apr 19, 20:59
      - From my perspective (I realize you asked Reagen, not me), they're likely not as scary as made out to be. - Subversive Apr 19, 20:57 2
        
        I get that, but from afar, the furor over the conscience laws feels totally how SSM and abortion play out federally. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 19, 21:00 1
        
        If you're not going to do it, why mention it? -- nm - Reagen Apr 19, 21:01
      - cuts to services and infrastructure (particuarly schools), conscience laws, and the Alberta "firewall", all for a start. - Reagen Apr 19, 20:56 3
        
        On cuts, how long was the deep cuts under Ralph really felt? A few years at most and it set it up nicely for years afterward. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 19, 20:59 2
        
        We're still paying for Ralph's cuts. - Reagen Apr 19, 21:01 1
        
        Of course, neither did his predecessors. And both spent A Lo -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 19, 21:05
- I just find it hilarious that there's still an ability to play the "wacko" right wing gov't card in Canada. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 19, 20:47 13
  - A more serious answer would be, "41 years is too long for any one party to ride over the government. Flush it out from time to time." - Name Withheld By Request Apr 19, 20:49 10
    - Your IM: the Federal Liberals have been out of power for what, six years? And look nowhere near getting their act together by 2013. -- nm - Roger More Apr 19, 20:51 8
      - took the federal tories/reform somewhere between 10 and 15, and even then a big part of it was liberal implosion. -- nm - mafic Apr 19, 21:05
      - Yeah, but they had a collapse of epic proportions. If the PC's lose the provincial election, they will still be a *strong* opposition. - Subversive Apr 19, 20:54 4
        
        Three governments over something like 100 years. It would make dictatorships blush, you oil barons, you. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 19, 20:56 3
        
        Like I said, I agree with the principle of change. Just that this time, wishing for change is like not reading the fine print on the Monkey's Paw. -- nm - Reagen Apr 19, 20:59 2
        
        I think you used the same line on me in 2004. :-) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 19, 21:03 1
        
        Might have. :) - Reagen Apr 19, 21:06
      - Different scenario than AB. The NDP federally managed to retain its core throughout Chretien's run AND had provincial successes to build on. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 19, 20:54 1
        
        You are closer to these things than me, but my take is that the Liberals see themselves as the natural party of government. - Roger More Apr 19, 21:02
    - I agree in principle but not in practice. -- nm - Reagen Apr 19, 20:51
  - But occasionally they are Rob Fords. -- nm - Reagen Apr 19, 20:49 1
    - Right. Just as there's Bob Rae's Ontario. These outlier governments don't tend to last long. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 19, 20:52
- In five years, which way would you be willing to admit you voted? also, ... - zork Apr 19, 20:44 1
  - It's my nickname for her, which I have admittedly not seen anyone else adopt. - Reagen Apr 19, 20:48
- yeah, I'd probably vote Tory, not because I'd want to, but because I feel about the same way as you about tire boobs. -- nm - mafic Apr 19, 20:41
- After seeing that the leader of the Alberta Liberals was a sitting member of the PCs just 18 months ago, I've decided that you might as well bite the - Roger More Apr 19, 20:37 3
  - not as bad as Bob Rae being an NDP *premier* and becoming a Liberal - zork Apr 19, 20:54
  - Alberta politics is so incestuous, it makes the Lannisters blush. -- nm - Reagen Apr 19, 20:40 1
    - *golf clap* -- nm - Subversive Apr 19, 20:51
- You lost me at "boobs." -- nm - JaxSean Apr 19, 20:26

Do you remember that online game that Dyson vacuum did a few years back? There is a pretty fun app called Quell which is quite similar. nm - ralph wiggum Apr 19, 19:41 3

      - [deleted] 2
        
        Oh! Well the reason why I was putting it in that context is because MDH posted it and I was reflecting on it. So it seemed natural to me to talk about - Qale Apr 19, 20:00 1
