Why even lump pedos in the same sentence with the gays

That’s the new MAGA argument. I was getting in front of it.

They’re basically arguing if gay and trans people are born that way, and that’s fine, then pedos are born that way so why isn’t that fine?

It’s a stupid argument because gay and trans people by default exist without victims.

In my opinion there is absolutely nothing wrong with being gay, bi, trans, asexual, etc.

Why the fuck should I care what a guy who plays video games says about anything other than playing video games?

I have a feeling this dude has no formal education on human sexuality, biology, or transgender studies.

Who wants to bet that the idea of retaliatory tariffs wasn’t gamed out beforehand and they have no strategy?

He has a concept of a strategy.

US companies would pay a total rate of 104% on Chinese imports.

The more money people lose, the more desperate they become. This is going to get interesting. Who goes after Trump first? The ultra rich or the average working class?

I’m Canadian. I support social programs and humanist programs. I support regulation of business so they don’t abuse their positions of power over people and to curb their habit of doing bad things in the name of more profit. I’m for taxing those with hordes of cash and giving the struggling worker a break. I support people to have the freedom to be who they want to be (gay, straight, trans, etc) as long as they aren’t hurting other people (IE pedos don’t get to harm children because they “were born that way” or god said it was cool). I support protecting the land, water and animals. I think Trump is a cunt.

I’m probably pretty left-wing.

30 people along the route of the parade cracking tear gas grenades at the same time would be lovey to see.

This is clearly not worse than J6 and those people are heroes now.

My 11 year old account got banned and I’m not even sure why. I posed a lot over the years. They said I was banned, pointed to a deleted comment. When I asked what the comment said they replied the reviewed the ban and now I’m banned.

I believe it was for a comment about how America would be in trouble if they invaded Canada (I’m Canadian). I stated some basic facts that Canadians look like Americans and they will attack America on American soil. It was matter of fact, not promoting any sort of violence.

Whatever. America is dying. I suppose services hosted on American soil die right along with it. We’re actively avoiding as many US products and services as possible, so Reddit can kick rocks.

I discovered Lemmy, it suits my needs and I like it better.

I’ve been using Thunderbird for email for years. I use it with some SMTP servers on shared hosting platforms, a yahoo account and a few gmail accounts - one with calendars. I don’t have any problems with it. Runs stable, doesn’t crash or do weird things. My only complaint would be search is a little clunky, but it works.

I had to use Outlook client for year at another job and that client was hot garbage.

There would also be civilian targets. Those huge retirement towns filled with MAGA boomers in Florida - the ones where they drive golf carts around - those will burn to the ground.

The modern US hasn’t fought a war with someone right next door, who looks and talks like them. Not only would it be hard to hold captured cities, but I think many Canadian fighters would walk across that massive unsecured border and start fucking up US resources like electrical stations, water supplies, subway systems, internet backbones, government buildings, . It is super easy to buy guns and ammo in the US, bombs are not hard to make. We would have a fair amount of local support as well.

We Canadians could just walk around the US in public and you’ve never know it.

Same. 11 year old account got banned for saying something. I’m not even entirely sure what it was. They deleted it and gave me the finger.

Fine with me.

There wasn’t.

I made one.

I don’t know anyone in Canada still planning trips to the USA. My cousin spends 2-3 months out of the year in California. She’s been doing it for 10 years now. She had cancelled all those plans going forward.

There is even more of a risk for Canadians to go to the US. It’s always been dangerous in the US with the insane amount of guns in the average idiots hands, but now we’ve got Ice Bros itching to hurt people as well. Fuck that noise.

The US really doesn’t offer us anything we can’t get from another safer country.

All the linux stacks I was involved with over the years always had SELinux disabled as part of the base config. I can’t think of a single server it was enabled on.

The girlfriend and I (both Canadian in Canada) were just planning a summer trip to Niagara Falls like 30 minutes ago. Neither of us have been. We were looking at flights and didn’t realize we were looking at flights to Niagara Falls airport in the US. We were both like “Whoa. Nope!”

If this had been last year, we would have flown into either airport and visited both sides of the border. But there is not a chance in hell I’m crossing to the US side during this trip. I’m absolutely not taking a chance of wrecking my vacation, or weeks of my life, getting nabbed by some Nazi Ice Bro and shipped to a detention camp in Arizona.

Stands with Tesla.

Drives a Nissan.

Hilarious.

Trump calls Moscow.

Putin makes him wait on hold for a few hours as a power move.

Putin gets on the phone and says “Fuck with Canada more you piece of shit babushka. I’ll have your daughter killed, bitch.” then hangs up.

Trump tells the ‘Washington Examiner’ that the two leaders have engaged in multiple phone discussions over the past weeks.

I used to watch some of their videos maybe a year or more ago? They were a bit more low key and the video title matched what they were talking about.

The last few videos I watched I turned off a few minutes in. It just seemed like they all had a basic script and the stories they were reporting weren’t really stories.
