  • Canadians are not a people you want to piss off. There's a reason they had their own beach at Normandy, they had earned a reputation for savagery during both World Wars, and their special forces operators are some of the finest in the world.

    Imagine having the Taliban as your neighbors. Canadian insurgents would be able to regularly hit targets in the United States, and I have zero doubt they would quickly become a force to be reckoned with.

  • Yeah, bravely tried to beat Trump by ignoring their constituents, handwaving a genocide, kowtowing to corporate donors and trying to appeal to moderate Republicans who have been told non-stop for the past 40 years that Democrats are evil and out to destroy the country.

    When your constituents want change and you campaign on keeping things the same, that's a colossal failure of party leadership, and it shouldn't be surprising that your voters will become disillusioned and stay home.

  • ¿Por qué no los dos?

    Someone who would lay down in bed with me and hold me while I cry would be a tremendous help to my mental health, but a therapist would be real nice, too. Too bad it's a five-month wait to get in to see one around here.

  • Nah, they don't give a shit if it's gone, because they'll just pay an army of lawyers to make it go away.

    What this does is makes any competition against any established Internet companies impossible for anyone who can't afford said army of lawyers. That's why they're the main driving force behind it. Any new social media startup will swiftly find themselves buried in litigation over the content people post on their site.

    It's far worse than you think.

  • I own guns. I love my guns. But I'm not weird about it, I'm all about responsible gun ownership, I don't have an entire armory, and I ESPECIALLY don't open carry.

    Ammosexuals give the rest of gun enthusiasts a very bad name.

  • Trudeau got in front of the cameras today and spelled this out. Our government chose to take this action, and Canada is having an entirely reasonable response. Once the tarrifs end, we can go back to where we were, but in the meantime, Americans need to learn how much they rely on Canadian trade and need to understand that this is entirely our government's fault.

  • Here's the thing: resistance movements don't happen overnight except in the most extreme of circumstances, and since our transfer of power was (technically) peaceful, people aren't feeling the kind of hurt that would drive them to protest just yet.

    So, people who are wise enough to see what's coming have to start small. Start with a small protest, then work your way up. Boycotts like this one are good for getting people to do something to start off. It might not do a whole lot at first, but they'll start to add up as more and more people become aware of the movement.

    Eventually, more drastic action can be taken, but getting people together and proving that they have the numbers to make a difference is vital, and unless a catastrophe happens, that process takes time.

  • Lonely is right.

    The amount of respect that I've lost for my family over the past decade is immeasurable. They taught me right from wrong, and now they're surprised that I think differently from them. My brother is the only one I'm still close with; everyone else I've been keeping at increasingly large distances. I used to call Mom almost every day, and now I'm lucky if I call her once a week.
