I have genuinely lost track of what's currently active, and what isn't.

Governor Newsom should look to his own affairs first.

I wonder, if we were threatening their sovereignty, openly and repeatedly, would they come visit us? No, they'd be losing their minds. I see California as one of the less outrageous parts of the US, but that doesn't mean I'm going to suddenly give up my integrity and self-respect because they need my business.

If you want Canadians to travel to the US, get rid of trump first. It's not entirely a moral issue anyway, it's genuinely dangerous for foreigners now. Why the hell would I risk my freedom? Because I feel sorry for their economy? No thanks.

So, as usual, they're attempting to bully other nations into becoming as ridiculous as they are.

I'm not sure Starmer has the backbone to resist these clowns, which says a lot.

Officially, Canada is an SI unit country. Canadians have a habit of using lbs and inches in everyday life, which is sad. I have been using only SI units for quite a few years now, but it definitely takes work.

To answer the spirit of your question: yes, I have re-affirmed my commitment to using metric. I have been angry about imperial units for a long time, I'm just more angry now.

I would be enraged. I wouldn't do anything except be enraged, because I'm a law-abiding person and spend a lot of effort remaining that way.

I would want to react in certain ways, but it's just not worth it.

I've seen a couple of trucks recently on my commute with trump flags/signs. It makes me exceptionally angry. I have to concentrate hard on remaining calm. It's a genuine challenge.

I suppose they were when I was a kid, it was never a huge deal.

Does this mean Putin is a Zionist?

You would turn them off and then on. They would already need to be on in order to find out they're not working.

What I want to see: a comparison of the sentence he gets with various murderers. I wouldn't be surprised to see a substantial ratio.

I love the french, I really do.

What have you changed? (self.boycottus)

So far I've cancelled Netflix, Amazon, Norton, switched browsers to Vivaldi, switched email to Tutamail, and only purchased non-american items. I'm still going through the de-google list.

It's a lot of work, but I'm not knowingly giving the american economy a cent of my money.

Tell us what you're changing, maybe it'll give us some ideas.
