Nice!!

Three here.

Canadian here.

Before Trump? Ehhh, not really. I’ve always viewed the US as a place where you vote for which oligarch-backed monarch you’d want to put in absolute power for 4 years. Every 4/8 years the new incoming overlord just rips up whatever the previous one did and nothing of substance is actually achieved.

After Trump 2.0? No. There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that Trump is going to surrender all that power he and the GOP have accumulated. And why would he? He doesn’t have to. He literally controls every branch of government that he can and ignores those that he doesn’t. If the US ever has another election it will purely be for show, like China’s elections. The mask is now fully off and the charade of US democracy is over as those who actually wield the power now do so openly on their sleeves.

The overlap between MAGA voter and EV buyer is… is there even any overlap? Those sort of people usually want lifted Turbo Child-Crusher 4000 coal-rollin’ pickup trucks.

I hope you’re right. That is good news if true.

My dad uses one as a macro pad for his invoices and other documents/paper work

Please don’t forget that even when this company made “better” games and was more profitable, their management and executives were wilful participants in rampant sexual abuse of their workers. Ubisoft is, always has been, and always will be a pile of festering shit and bankruptcy would be too good for them.

Will do. I have also emailed my provincial premier, which I also suggest everyone also do. Contact your premiers, your MLA and your MP.

Fascism cannot be allowed to take root in Canada.

Good news for Lemmynites.

The site is literally bought, paid for, and owned by a nazi.

Next question.

No. Get the hell off my computer and stay off.

Not only is my personal information on my computer, but so is client information and projects that I signed a NDA that only my eyes shall ever see them.

This is really going to start to snowball come March when Carney is picked as Liberal leader. He comes from a background of money management (governor of the Bank of Canada & England) and is well liked by both liberals and moderate conservatives.

I suspect that the liberals are going to pull up to a tie with the cons by the fall election, but we shall see.

Huh. I’ve seen no sign of it on my phone. I wonder if it’s a country/location thing.

Way ahead of you. I already use an alternative paid email service, don’t use Android, and don’t use Google search.

A haunting reminder that rainbow capitalism is 100% about profit and convenience.

Corporations were never your friend. They were never going to defend you.

Gross. Going to hold onto my 14P for as long as I can.

It would be a shit storm of unimaginable proportions. The US would be attacking another NATO nation and Canada would almost certainly invoke Article 5. Those not assisting militarily would probably sanction the shit out of the US and many of their previous treaties, pacts, and agreements would be withdrawn.

Recent polling in the US has shown that US citizens are greatly opposed to the ongoing trade war with Canada and would be even more opposed to further conflict. The executive branch ordering an attack on a historic ally and neighbour would cause catastrophic rift in the US military chain of command and I’d imagine many would disobey orders. States along the Canada/US border would likely be fiercely opposed to having their states turned into battlegrounds and would resist legally in whatever way they could.

Canada does not have the military for a large prolonged conflict, especially from our closest ally. An actual war would probably be quite shortlived, but it would also probably be the last thing the Trump administration ever does. The economic and civil-unrest blowback would rip apart his administration. Ordering your citizens to kill their neighbours, friends, and even family is not something you do without major consequences.

I was driving out of a parking lot yesterday just as a Cybertruck started to pull in off the street from the left. The driver was white-knuckling the wheel and was frantically looking around as I assume he could barely see out of the goddamn thing as he swung so wide he nearly clipped my car. He needed almost the entire driveway to make his turn.

I cannot imagine dropping so much money on something so useless and so hideous.

Beautiful!

I can’t say I agree with the last point. Making a comment on Reddit is a dice-roll of which logical fallacy someone will attack you with. You could say “I like waffles!” and you’d instantly get a reply saying “Oh, so you think pancakes are shit then???”

It makes it genuinely difficult to have a even a mild conversation there.
