  • Got a new roof for this reason. Had a leak around chimney flashing. Got it fixed. Leaked again a few years later, got a new roof. I have no mental tolerance for catastrophe, I will lose sleep over it until it's rectified. I can live with cosmetic shit, but anything that could potentially jeopardize the structure will kill me.

  • For sure, Google tells me there's only 21.2T USD in circulation.

  • I was in the Marines and I had to buy some of my shit on my own, so yeah, agree 100%.

  • I upvoted you on Lemmy for being on topic, but I downvoted you in my heart.

  • They like pineapple on pizza.

  • I mean, sure, maybe in the ensuing lawsuit they could be like hey, her doctor said it was cool, but it doesn't change the fact that there's a baby being born on an airplane in transit. Nobody wants that, airlines will shut that down, and it's not discrimination, it's just a good decision.

  • I'm curious what the difference between how America went about giving slaves citizenship versus countries in Europe. There's the obvious difference of birthright that's an issue today, just curious why America ended up here and Europe did not.

  • You've never been allowed to bring raw eggs of any kind across the border. I'm sure you can declare to do so and make arrangements for it, but I can't show up at the border and bring eggs over, that's always been the case.

    I suppose you are right, in that it's not the egg that's illegal, but the action of bringing it over the border.

  • Jus soli is conditional, and doesn't include hopping on a plane and just visiting a country, the birthing parents have to have established residence in the country. There's also citizenship granted to children born to parents who are from whichever country it is.

    None of these represent what we see in the US. No country in Europe grants automatic citizenship to children born of foreign parents.

  • Sure they can. "My doctor said I can!" Well, they say you can't. Why would a doctor's note get you on an airplane?

  • Literally zero European countries do it. It seems to be in the Americas only, and Chad and Tanzania. The concept that this is some human right apparently only applies to he US.

  • Eh, upstate NY is probably all red, save for perhaps part of Albany. NY State and NY City are very, very different.

  • UCMJ obliges members of the armed forces to not obey unlawful orders. Problem is they don't teach law when you're in, and some of this shit can get awfully complicated, and that's excepting the mountains of propaganda.

    That's being said, we are fortunately not yet seeing the military of the US being used to suppress American citizens. But maybe tomorrow!

  • Why don't they just move ahead with the plan regardless of America? The US has made it pretty clear they intend to depart NATO, and so the rest of the organization may as well just move forward regardless of what the US says.

    The US position here is "We are rethinking our position here, and thus can't get involved in any new business," which to me is fair. Regardless of how anyone feels about their decision to leave, if they're deciding to leave, it makes sense to not start something that will keep them involved.

  • Nailed it on the head. I think also that you need to include that Canada's relationship vis-a-vis trade with China will be affected by tariffs the US is placing on Canada, and same with Mexico. I think much of everything is from the viewpoint that China is a bigger problem than Russia at the moment. China is also recovering from some economic turmoil, and one way to do so includes expanding their reach, and so the intent is to limit China in other areas.

  • Must include that if you're here on Lemmy you were probably on Reddit before, and the latter has been a campaign for doom and gloom for close to a decade at this point. When you surround yourself in folks suggesting the sky is falling, you start to believe the sky is falling.

  • I was born in '87 and I distinctly recall eating a lot of canned veggies growing up. I'm sure it's what my mom grew up (in Newark, NJ) eating, and so it probably just passed on down when she was a young mother. I'm curious if canned veggies were just the rage at the time or if it was so because access to the fresh stuff wasn't as available.

  • I feel so far behind, but I also compare 37 year old me to 27, and 25, and 23 year old me, and I was always in such good shape that I think j took it for granted. But it's never too late to start, or to restart, or to unstop.
