The US has been the main villain ever since they inherited the role from the British. None of this is surprising if you’ve been paying attention.

When I was a kid, I thought this line was a joke

Scraggly cats are adorable. But this one looks like she might also need the occasional butt shave.

When I was a kid, the Lion King was my favorite movie, and when Mufasa died, I knew he was dead because his whiskers were wrinkled, and I knew I had never ever seen a wrinkled whisker on our (alive) cat. Now I learn that alive cats can have wrinkled whiskers…was anything ever true?

I guess maybe some of us are more sensitive to sulfur than others. I’ve never had an egg that didn’t seem at least a little bit farty.

Ah no, definitely not losing your mind! I wish you luck (and infinite patience) in talking some sense into your friend.

“Crony capitalism” is a term invented by defenders of capitalism so that they can put all the bad parts of capitalism in a separate bucket and say “that’s not real capitalism.” It’s a “no true Scotsman” fallacy.

In Ontario, we have “provincial offences officers”, aka “POOs”.

I mean that would be a little bit more plausible, although the article claims the opposite—that the device is super mysterious and the Americans don’t even know how to use it.

It sounds like someone pulled off a sweet scam though, getting “eight figures” for what sounds like a backpack full of cobbled together radio hardware.

Havana syndrome is a joke.

The Steam Deck’s AMD Custom GPU 0405 also saw a sharp dip in this revision going from 21.41% now to 13.37%.

I would have thought the Linux share would be mostly made up of steam decks, but seems that’s not the case!

The people have to do it.

Maduro’s leadership is a helluva lot more legitimate than the orange pedophile.

So when the US “neutralized a Venezuelan tanker”, that wasn’t an escalation, but now when Maduro takes measures to prevent this happening again, now it’s a “significant escalation”??

Software as a disservice.

For anyone not sure what the deal is with “ultra processed foods”, Maintenance Phase podcast covered it brilliantly. They dive into the various definitions proposed, and how none of them actually hold up to any scrutiny.

Have they even presented any evidence whatsoever that there were drugs on these boats?

The media keeps saying “suspected drug boats”, which makes it sound like they actually kind of care who they’re murdering, but I’m not convinced that’s the case. Maybe “imagined drug boats” would be more apt.

The attack began with an airburst munition exploding above the vessel and killing nine crew members. The two men who survived were then visible floating in the water.

So, there were eleven people on this small boat. Why the fuck would you have 11 people on a smuggling boat? No, this is just a random terrorist attack, perpetrated by the notorious terrorist organization know as “the US military”.

Love you all, but there’s a few people in here that have a lot more money than me. If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties.

This is just…so weak. I really would have appreciated a “fuck you” and a vague threat of violence, but alas.

That’s insane. I’m fortunate my company can just stop shipping to the US, and it wouldn’t be a significant loss. It definitely sucks for anyone who just has to deal with it.

The last box I shipped to the US (from Canada) got snagged at customs for a while, they said it was missing some paperwork, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t. I was wondering if this would become a pattern…I guess so.
