“what in your country is totally normal”

Japan: “We have a Canada theme park”

O_o

I’ve heard that! Anne of Green Gables is big there too for a weird reason. There’s an anime airing right now, even.

So what if it was?

I shall. If the USA continues to threaten Canadian sovereignty, I will refuse to trade with them.

When Trump (may his anus be infested with cancerous hemorrhoids) dies, I will pop open a patriotic bottle of Crown Royal and listen to the wails of his cult with delight.

I found Rogue One a satisfying conclusion to the independent Andor story.

I wouldn’t say ‘fears’ exactly

Forcing people to drive to polling stations amounts to a poll tax, imo

I hope we got something good in exchange. Otherwise we’ll just look like victims and it will invite more bullying.

I would not prioritize the last season.

It’s impossible to fond put what life would have been like with Trump in 2020 but… I suspect worse.

Sucks.

Yeah, it’s a problem, but it’s a problem to address during party elections, not the general. It sucks.

Also getting out and throwing some bricks can’t hurt.

If they’re the same, you might as well vote for him to move the Overton window and make space for the next one.

I think it’s one of those cases where whoever gets the nominated, the right wing agitprop machine will work overtime to throw wedges into the opposition and fins reasons for people to be Righteously Mad.

So there has to be some space for disagreement and common goals. Not ‘enemy of my enemy is my friend’ but at least ‘we are broadly going in the same direction and we can at least move the Overton window’.

It is an iterative game. Newsome, asshole or not, makes space for a slightly less right wing asshole next time. Take the long view.

There is one episode… “33 minutes” I think. Stands alone. Some of the best TV ever made.

Feels like a decade, dang. Who can keep track.

Anyway…

Americans in the comments making it about themselves and relitigating a decade old squabble

They count those as a vote for Trump. :)

Battlestar Galactica the recent one. No unifying plotline, just a series of SHOCKING REVEALS every episode. Got super tedious toward the end.

Stuck in Halifax. Fuck Air Canada. But also aaaaaagh frustrating. Pay your goddamn employees.
