ImageI was curious (I lived in Calgary during the 88 Olympics)
My thoughts: lol good luck, and the Olympics are a tarnished institution unworthy of my time and attention these days. You can have ‘em.

But corporations are people, and people pay taxes. So yes, you will be doing that here.

Which of them is the owner of Kirkland Signature brands? That’s the one I was thinking of.
- Comment on Why do .ml users get a bad rep? 2 weeks ago:
Because of the atrocious behavior they exhibit 100% of the time I’ve been unlucky enough to engage in “dialogue” with onenof them.
I’m sure there are, among their ranks, some capable of critical thought, but if I see the .ml I generally know to expect a bunch of bad faith arguments and a large number of conflicting, morally ambiguous stances on world affairs.
In general: self-important, ill-informed buffoons with axes to grind coalescing around the simulacrum of Marxist-Lenninist philosophy, who would shrivel to unmanned husks were they to endure what they loudly call for.
The similarity to the standard issue MAGA specimen is most uncanny, and typically varies only in regards to which idol they worship.

What Kirk the captain of some starship thingy? I seem to recall some sort of kelvin timeline where stuff changed but I don’t recall anyone named “Charlie” being of any importance whatsoever.
Probably an Extra.

- Comment on After Today's meeting where Trump fell in love with Mamdani, this is MAGA tomorrow morning. 4 weeks ago:
What’s going on is that you are in the passenger seat of a vehicle driven by an old narcissist who demands love and fealty from everyone.
They are not watching the road.
Anytime they get the slightest hint that you do not love them unconditionally, the threaten to swerve the car into a bridge embankment and kill you both.
You uncomfortably make conversation on the ride.
It turns out that if you convincingly explain how popular you are for a certain point of view, and insist that “many people are saying…”, the old man will eventually agree with you even if at first he loudly barked his opposition to it.
Eventually you begin to realize that this man has no real principles or beliefs. He is just a ball of oppositional defiance disorder, terribly lonely, unhappy, pathologically and incessantly seeking your approval. And malleable. So so very malleable.
Way to pick a leader, America!

We just need to explain to them that their leader recognizes a strong Man-Date when he sees it.

is Nazgül short for “Republican” or am I getting middle earth slang mixed up with modern?
- Comment on Hyundai car requires $2000, app & internet access to fix your brakes - what the actual f 4 weeks ago:
What’s weird is I have replaced the batteries in both of mine. It’s actually easier than spreading FUD.
Alas, I must be imagining that they still work; surely your version of reality is canon.

Because I personally feel that he is an alarmist who blows a lot of l shit out of proportion, despite generally agreeing with the principles behind him doing what he does.
It’s okay to not like someone’s content and take on things. it also doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m not aligned with the basic premise of his work in other cases. I just don’t like how he represents the topics or the degree to which he inflates their importance.

Cool cool. I’m 100% sure who I take my car to won’t have this issue and I will continue to be able to do me.
- Comment on Hyundai car requires $2000, app & internet access to fix your brakes - what the actual f 4 weeks ago:
You are correct. I would not know about that, because I ripped out their hardware and put in open source stuff, upgraded the sensors and added a dead man’s switch.

Lol all this talk if risk mitigation mingled with an assertion that one should DIY one’s brakes, and no mentions of qualifications or safety.
It’s foolproof!

Lol you do you then. Lingo like “cucked” speaks literal volumes about your character, and…. fuckin’ ew.

Oh look another Rossman PSA to show us how evil some company is. Also, the sun rose today.
I stopped giving this guy credence after his series of videos on how “dangerous” onewheels are (I now own 2, and…GASP also drive a Hyundai with an EPB). I don’t fault his motivation, but his propensity to assert that edge cases are likely mainstream is just far too much to be taken seriously.
Risks exist. Be informed.

7x if you use Newtonian classical physics. I think CERN discovered that it’s actually 9.4x harder when you account for the quantum foam. Plus in accordance with the theory of indeterminacy we might just spontaneously make trade deals with other partners.
- Comment on Why isn't the rest of the world doing anything about the USA? 1 month ago:
Canadians are not buying America’s shit, and are unlikely to resume that habit anytime soon. It doesn’t take effect immediately, but when you compound it with the other ass backwards trade policies you’re living under now you will all be suffering greatly within a year.
So will everyone, mind you.
