Nah, this is what will happen.

  1. Trump will talk about sending the military to Mexico
  2. Sheinbaum will talk about sending the military to fight the "invasion"
  3. They'll both realize a war between the two countries would mean that they'll no longer get those sweet cartel bribes
  4. Literally nothing will happen
  5. Trump will brag about how he subdued Mexico
  6. Sheinbaum will brag about how she resisted an American invasion
  7. People from both sides will eat it up

We do but we already give it to the US for free.

Too soft. You should not be able to own a house in which you're not gonna live at least 6 months and 1 day per year. Period.

This is literally what caused the UK to fall back into a housing crisis that they had mostly solved with heavy regulation.

Uuuuh, no, no she's not. She's a puppet for the previous president.

There's a bunch of context missing from this. Did he tell her hey, I know a cool way we can get free McNuggets? Or did he just ask her out, took her to McDonald's and randomly pulled out a laptop with android emulators to get free McNuggets? Context matters a lot.

If it's the second one, it's giving me these vibes: :1000011193

What on earth are you talking about? Windows is the king of a system just breaking itself for seemingly no reason with no way of fixing it. At least on Linux, I know there'll be hundreds of forum posts telling me how to fix something.

While we're on the subject of esoteric issues with Windows, Update just recently had a bug where it couldn't update if your Recovery partition wasn't big enough. The Recovery partition that was created on install. Automatically. By Windows.

Cinnamon is way more resource hogging than KDE.

I really don't think the /j is necessary.

Sorry to break it to you, but cartels are never gonna die off. They're not something that's currently happening in Mexico, they're the backbone of the Mexican economy and have been since the revolution war a hundred years ago.

More context: Cartels, although they weren't called that back then, are how the revolution war was financed. They basically rolled up into small towns and took everything that wasn't nailed down —including women— under the pretext that they needed it to "fight for freedom". When the revolution ended and they had no excuse to ransack villages anymore, they pivoted onto drugs. If drugs are legalized, they're just gonna pivot to something else. Right now, there's cartels who barely sell drugs and make most of their money through kidnappings and extortion.
