This is how Komodo Dragons hunt, too.

My washer/dryer unit stopped working properly after less than 5 years. Out of warranty. I was damned if I was going to toss it or pay the equivalent to fix. So, I researched, found the problem, purchased the part and fixed it myself. I’m a 58 yo woman who is so sick and tired of the games corporations play to part us with our money.

I’ve felt like that for years, too. But Canadians boycotting en masses, then soundly rejecting mini-Trump has given me hope. Since then, our leader has been reaching out to other countries to form new relationships and deals. We just signed a rare earth minerals deal with Greenland, of all places.

Yes, Canada has been hamstrung by US demands but the vice-grip they’ve had over us has deteriorated. This wouldn’t have happened if not every single other country in the world was going through the same thing. So it feels a bit like a rebirth to me, with the possibility of finally being able to come into our own as a nation.

Canadian here and we celebrated the fuck out of our national holiday which just passed. We have a stronger feeling of solidarity than we’ve felt in a long time. Despite the threats of annexation and shifting tariffs, we are feeling more hopeful than we have in many years, possibly because we’re making new friends in the global sandbox and coming into our own power now instead of constantly kowtowing to the USA in all matters.

Except a few folks in Alberta who would love to be part of the modern Nazi regime. Fuck them, tho.

I believe the same. They will recover eventually, but they will never be a superpower again.

This is the worst thing to read first thing in the morning 🤮

This is arguably the most dangerous kind of war, at least for the elites and authoritarians. Angry people without a plan are unpredictable.

Too dumb to understand, got it.

“Ok” is my go-to. It feels dismissive because it is.

That sounded pretty good until the pink relish part. Won’t try it.

The door skins are just held by a cheap glue, tho. Pretty sure it’s easy enough to rip that off and throw a grenade in there.

Capitalism isn’t coming for anyone else because of limitations that have been put on it by the peoples governments in other countries.

That’s ok because he won’t ever leave office again so technically the people will still own it

As a Canadian, I can say as a person with a reasonable government that isn’t trying to control every minutia of my life, the additional threat of a predictable and preventable pandemic five years after all the lessons should have been learned to prevent the next one, vacationing in the USA is even LESS appealing than it already is.

In at least one woman’s case, Putin offered her an actual meat grinder. No joke.

Not to mention he’s a draft dodger as well. He doesn’t deserve a military parade based on that alone.

Oppositional Defiant Disorder.

You. You, the people. Canada is doing it with boycotts which are deeply hurting the US. We didn’t have to be told to do it. Nobody organized. We just did it.

There is nobody coming to save you so you have to do it yourselves.

I got permabanned for commenting “Should have painted a swastika instead” on an article about a guy who spray painted “USA” on a plaque at Trump tower. Apparently, my comment was too violent for corporate bot-ridden reddit now.

I think from now on we should only use the term “parasite class” when talking about the elites, the 1%, the billionaires, the wealthy, the rich, the landlords. Make it a habit, maybe even trendy. Parasite class. I like it.
