Programmer, gamer, father, not necessarily in that order. Kicked off Twitter for calling Elon a glorified activist investor and that more school shootings are not ideal.

I thought it technically was.
I don't fit either of those 3 groups. Guess like I said, I'm the minority.
I actually stop at stop signs on both a bicycle and in the car, but most cars I see actually don't stop. It's not just a cyclist thing. I know I'm in the minority when it comes to both.
That is pretty sad isn't it? I hate to wonder what it'll be like in 2029.
They say the same thing up here. It's not true, though. It's about exploitation. Not wanting to do the work for the pay offered has nothing to do with race.
I mean, if it's something one hopes to 'escape' can you really blame anybody for not wanting to do it?
I always wonder what happens with migrants when they become citizens, which makes them no longer want to do that work? Does becoming "an American" suddenly make them lazy or incapable? Or is it something else?
Maybe $25 was just still too low for that region for that kind of work.
We have the same in Canada. It's not about race. It's about exploitation wages.
It's also about pay rate. Same issue in Canada. You'll get anybody to do anything if you pay enough, but if all you're willing to pay is exploitively low wages you'll really only get the exploitable applying.
They make themselves suffer too
I hope not.
I would hope so. It's always hard to tell in advance how things will go when live munitions are involved. People overwhelmingly want to go to work, go to bed, eat, and play. Not nearly as many are up for dying in front.
the problem is, he won't be the one leading the invasion from the front, he'll be leading from the back. the armored militants with guns will be in the front.
Destroying your country to own the libs. Smart...
Saying MAGA makes it sound like it's some other nefarious new group. These are Republicans. All Republicans need to own this. They can't just deny it and say "I'm old school Republican, not MAGA." Republicans are the evil and we need to use that name.
You should seek help
You're an embarrassment
Did I say that? Is that even related to what I said? I said "free" but I don't expect a proper "stay on track" conversation from you.
Says the 51st state guy, I'm not worried about what you think.
Compared to the USA, it is now.
What does elbows up mean to you?
This is unrelated to what I said.
I didn't fall for anything I just wasn't stupid enough to vote for conservatives. Given your whole identity I'd say you're quite prone to falling for plenty of things, though.
Our economy is doing okay and would be better if it wasn't under attack from foreign enemies. I don't even know why I'm arguing with someone who wants canada to be the 51st state anyway. 🙄
I'll stick to the land of the free and be proud of it. Are you even Canadian or are you an American simply campaigning against canada?
You're free to go there. I wouldn't be caught dead in that shithole. It's not a great example to use against canada right now, but you're free to try your luck.
Now conservatives care about public service workers...
And America lets them
Like "Canada is broken"
Unfortunately, too many people, especially those in power, rely on prayer as a substitute for action.
Sure it is
Looks like the second amendment is failing to live up to the hype
And ranked ballots
Republicans
We're next door to a psychotic nazi regime. Nothing is out of the realm of possibility.
It's the perfect forever war.
Or any Republicans at this point.
MAGA is the Republicans and the Republicans are MAGA. There is no longer a differentiating factor, which is why I don't use the term MAGA because I don't want to give Republicans a chance to disassociate by claiming they're not part of MAGA. Anybody in the republican party is party to all of this.
Which is why I no longer use the term MAGA to describe them since it just serves to give the guilty an out. "Oh no I wasn't part of that MAGA movement, I'm just a classic republican." All Republicans need to own this and not be given an out by disassociating from the label.
For decades, people would like to say what they would do if they were around during the nazi rise in Germany. "If I were alive then, why I'd...." Republicans are showing us today exactly what they would have done.
This isn't MAGA. It's Republicans. It's not just some fringe offshoot. It's the whole party. No Republicans are speaking out against this because they support it. If it was just some MAGA offshoot, there'd be more internal fighting amongst party members, but there isn't. This is all Republicans.
Not just MAGA, it's "Republican" This isn't MAGA doing these things. It's Republicans.
What an ignoramus
They don't need an excuse to escalate things. They can just do whatever they want, and it seems the people and congress will let them.
Seek help
If they have to be convinced not to vote republican after everything that's gone on, they're likely not going to ever be convinced and actually want what's happening.
They weren't there, you dork
You're an embarrassment to Canada.
That response had nothing to do with anything being discussed
Why are you spamming with this?
They'll push for a 6 day work week if they think it'll own the libs.
Open carry == legal in that state. No need for victim blaming.
Neither will I
Then you'd be as likely to be a statistic in an armed home invasion as I would be. When seconds count, locked guns won't help you much. But this isn't really the point. I'm much less likely to be involved in an armed conflict of any sort.
That's a form of gun control
Didn't say I'm anti gun, just not in favor of the vision of gun control you have.
I take it your guns aren't safely/legally stored and you have no children who can easily get their hands on your loaded firearms. We're not all in that situation.
That just makes it easier for criminals to get guns too.
And they make it easier to kill and less likely to survive
2 things to note: the criminals didn't have guns, so you're proving your own argument false. 2) the victim survived and so did everyone else in the car. Not something as easily achievable with guns.
So what is it you want? Better safeguards that don't get ignored, or just no assisted dying at all?
Speaking of scripted...
So what are you even arguing for? I said it's important to deal with the lack of safeguards rather than get rid of the program entirely and you keep arguing about the lack of safeguards. It sure seemed like you wanted to abolish the program. If not then yay were on the same side?
I don't know. Protest that instead of MAID.
Or maybe they only allow accredited news agencies and not just anybody off the street who calls themselves "news"
None of that changes the substance of what I'm saying. It's more important to deal with the safeguard issue than it is to scrap the program entirely.
I think it's more important to fix the issue of safeguards being ignored by staff than it is to scrap the program entirely.
When faced with a threat, we came together and did something about it. Now, to get rid of first past the post so this doesn't happen again cause dammit we have a lot of dumb voters.
I wouldn't rule it out. Until this regime is gone Greenland and others need to keep their guard up.
Fuck Saudi Arabia
What directions?
I think you're the one lying but the question is, why?
I've seen police open fire on sitting protesters. It doesn't matter once the tear gas and pepper spray are out, the people can't sit any longer. They don't need instigators to give them permission to fire anymore, they just do it. The media then films the reactions.
I didn't deflect, but okay.
Nice deflection
To report "foreign invaders" with the ICE hotline, yeah, seems a little authoritarian.
Oh, my mistake. :-)
No, the plans for usa to invade Canada.
If they have plans for invading Greenland you can sure as hell bet they've got plans for Canada, too.
A couple cars 4 days ago doesn't require the army. This still doesn't fit with the whole "letting LA fall to the wayside" crap you were spewing. Where's all the looting, etc.? I'm sure you'll find a few small examples, but again nothing requiring military intervention. This is serious.
You're being lied to. Where do you even get your news?
It's a shame the people promoting these things don't get the punishments they deserve.
They got the green light when nobody in authority held them accountable. Checks and balances are like thoughts and prayers, completely meaningless without any action.
I think to them, the war never ended, and now they're in charge. They may see that as a victory. I think they were telling the truth when they said the south shall rise again.
Canada is "another country" which we were, in fact, talking about. What do you expect other countries to do about your situation at this present time?
Again, that's not an answer, just a personal attack. On a scale of 1929 to 1945, where would you say you are as a country? And again, what could Canada do to help you?
Still no answer. What do you want other countries to do to help? You're the educated one here, apparently, so I expect an educated response. What do you want at this point in time that can not be done by Americans?
You didn't answer any of the questions. What do you expect other countries to do at this point in time to fix your country?
The question shouldn't be "can they really do that?" But rather "who is going to stop them?" Right now it seems like they can, and are, regardless of legalities.
"You're under arrest," "No no no...YOU'RE under arrest!" "Wait, what!? Dammit..."
I'm an observer at the moment and your country is fucked. Fix your shit and stop relying on outsiders to come fix it for you. What exactly do you think other countries can do anyway, invade? Assassinate those in power? Raise tariffs? Sanctions? What?
There is no MAGA anymore, just Republicans. They're one and the same. Using the term MAGA gives Republicans the chance to deny they're part of it.
The rest of the world is telling you to fix it before it gets to the point that the world has to fix it for you.
It's republican induced. We have to say their name and make sure all Republicans own this.
This is bigger than just Trump. The Republicans have a real chance at absolute power and they're not going to abandon it just because Trump tacos out. If he waffles I fully expect he'll meet an unhealthy end to his presidency and open it up to the real power players.
The Israeli way is the nazi way
It's not really an echo chamber, it's just less toxic.
Heck, mario kart 8 on the Wii U remained at full price until the day they took down the Wii U eshop. Nintendo don't drop prices.
It's $110 in Canada.
