Not even the Goblin king himself?

I’m thinking of naming my kid Jared in order to ensure they grew up to be a successful but morally bankrupt person. Saves me from happening to get a pension.
I don’t think I’ve ever met a nice Jared in my life.

Maybe he’s considered evil in Canada but for American standards he just seems like a regular guy.

I dunno, I have a respect for Americans who tend to just say what they think. Pretty open book. If they don’t like something they will say it. You know where you stand with them. And Australians are even more blunt. I came to love that about Australians. Cuz there’s no guessing. If they want to tell you something they don’t waste any time and dont coat it unecessarily in emotional bullshit. They don’t ‘handle’ adults like they are fragile children. Say what they mean. Mean what they say.
Although Industry can influence that behaviour.
Cuz Canadians don’t play like that. They play a totally different game. Say nice things. Hide ulterior motives. Insult you in actions. But say something completely different. Take Joy in your failure. And never say it to your face. Deep grudges. Will put oil rags in your tank without telling you and hope you die. No range of 1-100 in anger. Just happy until they aren’t and they go a full 1000 with it. Never confront you to your face at a reasonable point before getting there. No discussion leading up to it Heavy manipulating. Sabotaging. If you don’t ’pick up on their hints’ they automatically add you to their shit list. Watch your back. Constantly. With a friggin smile on your face.
Lawyers flourish there.

There are evil Canadians. There are evil canadians that know how to be nice to your face. Making them extra evil than your traditional evil stereotype adding that extra layer of manipulation. Adding to the fact they know what they are doing is wrong when they know what it means ro play good.
