It's also because the rest of the people in charge (mainly Republicans) aren't doing anything to stop them. It also has to do with Americans being largely stupid.

Most republicans aren't going to do anything because if they go against Trump ... Trump will skewer them and they'll lose their seat because their voters are stupid too.

Ontario will rip up its $100-million deal with Elon Musk's Starlink internet provider and U.S. companies will be banned from procurement contracts as part of the province's response to President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods.

I probably want a follow-up when this is confirmed.

I want rural Ontarians and all Canadians to have good Internet, but I would like it to be without enriching someone cosplaying as a bond villain trying to overthrow the world.

I don’t think this is true.

Yeah, it's why I added a question mark.

I've had one friend say because it's electronic that only Tesla can fix certain things? Maybe I misunderstood maybe they meant that because it's under warranty where the dealership should be fixing it.

I've heard mixed stuff, like some people saying it's plastic and stuff and only serviceable via Tesla if things go wrong?

Others I know have driven it for years and have been happy except the whole Musk shit which leads to your point. (excluding Cybertruck, I don't know anyone that drives a Cybertruck).

I genuinely couldn't believe how much I liked this game. By the end, I felt these Guardians replaced the MCU guardians as my favourite.

The story was amazing. I played it on PS5 but I bought it on Steam again recently and may give it another playthrough I loved it that much.

Total surprise because I was expecting a stinker. It really deserved more praise than it got.

I remember quite a few years ago I heard an actor giving a speech about winning an award and he said something along the lines of "I'm so glad to be in this country with its freedoms". I thought, what specific freedom are you thinking about ...? I think other countries would surprise you.

The name originates from the French word for stern, poupe, from Latin puppis. Thus the poop deck is technically a stern deck, which in sailing ships was usually elevated as the roof of the stern or "after" cabin, also known as the "poop cabin" (or simply the poop[2]).

If you're using stashdb for your stuff, there's a rename plugin it seems: https://github.com/stashapp/CommunityScripts/tree/main/plugins/RenameFile

Yeah, I mean people like to get into a position of power and foment vaccine hesitancy and we're supposed to praise him?

Fuck him. I'll praise him when he goes comes back fully. This ten steps back and one step forward bullshit? Fuck that.

The noise it makes is unbearable to me.

I signed up for Sync! I can start migrating off of Google Drive.

I'm skipping Walmart for Longos. I used to go McDs once a week (when I'm lazy), I'll be going to some real family restaurants instead.

Instead of BestBuy, I'll go Canada Computers

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good everyone!

I would have put the Electric Moccasins but it's a actual band name.

 

I don't know if this video has any solid evidence or earth shattering message in there.

I personally found it nice and I like the overall message despite the background of the world we're living in being sad.

 

Yes! A new ONN video and it's great!

 

Progressive comedian Steve Hofstetter has some dialogue with an audience member about his jokes on conservatives/Trump.

It's a story from April, I tried seeing if it was posted before, however it's the story about how the advertising and finance team beat the search team into submission by ousting the core person protecting it to pursue "growth" and "revenue" at all costs.

 

Just popped up in my feed. I loved Starship Troopers as a kid, not knowing the satire underneath. Anyways, it's a nice interview.
