Yeah definitely take precautions "points to Ukraine*, never know when a neighbor will have too much vodka. Or don’t but think Canada has a better chance if NATO is on the ball.

There were mentions that he wrote his own speech from others. From what I understand it’s probably true since that would be his regular type of conference as a head banker previously. I’ll be honest haven’t listened to it or know a lot about Carney but this is what I’ve gleened in comments about his speech. Guess I knew about his banker credentials before and he helped us through the 08 crisis which Canada went through decently. Though I had no idea who he was until the leader of the liberal party

From everything I’ve read about his speech, which I will listen to at some point, makes me feel better with him in charge if we aren’t going to be more progressive.

Hopefully it pans out as the neighbor. But I still totally agree with that statement even if it fucks us, then if it does but we won’t roll over quietly…I hope. Fascists cannot be appeased, let alone toddler narcissists who want their next soother. Someone needs to put that baby to bed. Placating but not appeasing them I mean, like you do a fussy toddler, not saying violence. No teaching this toddler but sometimes they can understand their place and stop making as big of a fuss and have a minor one when he doesn’t get his diet coke.

I read it a few times but I realized there was more to get from it cause I sort of sped read through some (dry) parts the first time. This was back in the mid 2000s when there was less relevant information for us in North America at the time. Nowadays it needs to be brought in for any decent curriculum, though I don’t think the fascists would approve that.

Course in the US there’s a lot less demanding of education for reasons like this book, you understand what can lead to our current situation and see how harmful it is. Heaven forbid the common folk understand propaganda like they show. Any truly great society would relish in their citizens being well educated and informed of such things to make better progress going forward.

Keep expectations low, he’ll probably beat the pettiness within a few weeks. Just describing the current president of the US. If this was the 90s it’d be an SNL skit, in 2026 it’s just just accurate.

I will preface I hope you and everyone around you is safe, lots of snow is no joke when driving. Not trying to one up you but I don’t think Kentucky is the same as northern Canada outside odd conditions is all least not when I grew up. Mostly northern Canada winter is icy not lots of snow roads, cause we got lots of snow plows which sort of compact snow to ice it worse.

I didn’t mean to mean it didn’t snow much elsewhere but used to snow in September and didn’t thaw till spring…well late 80s mid 90s time era. Once it started you put the tires with studs on till least April or May sort of thing.

Once drove threw fresh snow on the highway (early - mid 2000s) could just know where the highway was cause of the hump, besides the highway was ditches. Made it to the airport to rock out new years on the coast. Made sure to leave so I could drive 50kph the entire way just in case heh (normal city speed). Though the snow on highway stopped after about 300kms so could have been worse.

Again hope everyone you know is safe and all, di fucking hate winter these days lol fuck northern weather.

Hah yeah lived up north (Canadian so adjust perception of North and South) with a mustang (not gt but rwd), you gotta be careful on road ice hell even light but of snow can cause issues. I’ll say I’ve driven with a few vehicles before that so knew how to handle better than the southern types when it snowed occasionally and used to see people in ditches on off/on roads to the highway. That was something I’ll always remember, seeing those vehicles in the ditch, just hit the gas a bit too much.

Like you don’t even get people who know how to drive as a federal agency? Keystone politics. This may be only a single incident and never happen again, but only reason it’s news is cause they’re doing a blitzkrieg and can’t even drive their cars. Sums up the entire administration.

Youdo have a big problem, please as a country deal with it rest of the world

I assume you were joking but my reply is not (though not specific to you), please as a country deal with your malignant narcassisisc leader issue because you hold all the military might, the rest of the factions that want to deal with it really never thought you’d get this awful.

I haven’t seen Pam in pixel format before, that could easily be from an 80s Sierra game, though I didn’t count pixels or colours to be sure but if my memory works and it sure does not I’d say it’s good.

Heh so many ways to deflect when you’re involved than saying oh there’s too much focus on this pedophile. Like maybe we had lunch, dinner? Hung out once or twice…no no, just too much focus on the pedophile I hung out.

Some reason? Oh nothing like a country trying to swallow up neighbors like they’re playing a Paradox game.

Yeah nothing to see there, just move on until they knock on your door and of course saying no will make the army turn back. I’m sure that worked well for Ukraine…right?

Like doublespeak or just saying the complete opposite and people accepting it? Shit man, no first world country would do that at least. Eyes the US

Somehow he was cleaning it and it still had rounds to fire or he cleaned and reloaded and left it unsecured so it had rounds to fire. Sounds like sort of person who should own a gun for sure.

Besides that it’s from the administration that lies all the time, and no proof has been shown? I guess not, though there are good arguments that the boats couldn’t have reached the US and having 11 people on a smuggling boat doesn’t make sense.

Then there’s the fact that the crimal punishment for smuggling isn’t death and they were not even charged, had a trial and found guilty.

Also helped at the time it came out, unless you purposely looked it up or forums threads about it, it was hard to randomly know about that twist. It was one of the best reveals in gaming, I’d even say ever for gaming but everyone has their opinion. Mean I was already past school so maybe those areas would have had more spoilers.

Also at that time, for the people a bit too young to know (not knocking ya just doing my Grandpa Simpson story) even if Star Wars was big for prequel trilogy, attack of the clones was out but not last one, there was no Star Wars RPG story game similar at the time or previous. And it had some of the top notch story writing for gaming.

Also that’s the game where I learned about Jennifer Hale, I’ve always enjoyed her work since. Took awhile to remember her name I just knew the character’s name for the longest time.

Anything that is hard and worth doing will make you exhausted, some things are worth the exhaustion. I couldn’t do it, glad some people with good ideals can.

There’ll be articles about the crime rate and all under a month I assume, isn’t that standard for any mayor let alone an anti establishment one? I barely know much about him. Just that he has good ideas he wants to implement so congrats New York on your fine mayor.

To be fair unsure your exact intent I just wanted to mention from what I’ve read the hit articles always come soon after the election. At face value I take the first part, for the second part, anyone that can become mayor of New York would be ready for that.

Yeah can’t imagine a bunch of girls having a great time there, especially once he ends up dying for his ideals (if not now then later). Leaving a mother and daughters. Pretty sure this is the guy who didn’t even know the language while getting training before he was pushed up to the front. Can’t imagine thinking any probable outcome is better for anyone involved, but the kids definitely don’t deserve whatever happens.

This isn’t directed to you just where I ended up replying.

Not even from the US but those brown shirts gotta go somehow. I hope there is a reckoning before their final crayon drawn plan.

Also I understand the people with the plan don’t use crayons that’s the worst part. Everyone is allowing an imbecile to be the figurehead while the people in charge have a proper plan that is being acted out. Not nearly the front facade that the US used to try and have for sure. We all knew they did shit, but we’re mostly half decent. Now it’s full on Nazi.

The imbecile tore down like an arm of what the US called the beacon of democracy (East Wing). And no immediate protests, general strike. If the population doesn’t do something who will? Oh yes let’s let other countries handle the largest military on earth.

I think serious replies if the question was serious are not applicable here. This is a millionaire funded by billionaires. He’s not serious, even Jon Stewart got him to remove his usual bow tie after a verbal spanking that would make nuns proud. He has no grounds to be serious, he’s fanning flames for the olichary or whomever pays him to have more power.

I don’t have references for any of this except the crossfire but where Stewart put him in his place. Dude’s confused look seems like he’s surprised at his own farts.
