Honest question - are Canadians generally fine with normal US citizens with no untoward agenda still coming to visit and shop in Canada? I love partaking in the cuisine, a museum, and a library in a relatively nearby border town. Especially the more ethnically-diverse cuisine, because shitty generic Americana fare gets tiresome. Canadian Tire is fun, too, although I do secretly wonder why it's not Canadian Tyre. Curious to know if US plates on a car in Canada generate a negative response nowadays.

Also, I'm sorry about the reality for which I felt the need to ask this question.

Rubio told Sikorski: “No one has made any threats about cutting Ukraine off from Starlink. And say thank you because without Starlink, Ukraine would have lost this war long ago and Russians would be on the border with Poland right now.”

In fact, Russians are already on the border with Poland because the Russian region of Kaliningrad lies on Poland’s northern border.

"Say thank you" - Marco

What is it with MAGAsites demanding thanks from everyone?

Easier to conquer a disconnected, uncoordinated, and gagged enemy unable to rally a force united by common messaging and calls to action.

The multitude of passionately, and casually, expressed desires and fantasies unleashed by the event that transpired at 1335 6th Ave on Dec 4, 2024 are symptoms of a socioeconomic illness in sore need of meaningful treatment toward a cure.

No one living a healthy life in a supportive society actually wants violence to occur.

A neat short video of Daniel Kish talking about and demonstrating his echolocation technique.

Also, maybe there's a way to see through taste.

Ah, gotcha. I picked up a reddit permaban for mentioning in a comment that someone else in another sub had found the initial 4 DOGE kiddos' phone numbers and parents' addresses by viewing their public social media profiles and GitHubs. Played with the idea of sending each of them No Thank You cards in the mail, but the permaban made me hesitant to dish out more mischief.

Genuinely curious how knowing personal emails would be useful as opposed to the work emails. I'm not even sure how knowing the work emails is useful, but I'm always eager to be educated.

He meant a concept of a plan.

Consolidation of power to a tiny coalition of privileged cronies with conditional impunity as long as they backed the leader. That's not "conservative" or "liberal" or "right" or "left." It's just...autocratic. Have you read The Dictator's Handbook by Bueno de Mesquita and Smith? It's a very illuminating reference and eschews the entire argument of "left vs right" in favor of a ruling-coalition size relative to the ruled population model and it appears to be quite accurate in predicting and explaining the behavior of politicians and rulers, Hitler included.
