I assume a lot of those down votes are from folks who never clicked the post and didn't realize that Detroit is north of the Detroit river. Maybe I need to work on my delivery, my wife does give me a lot of eye rolls. I still think we need to mock Trump and friends to stop their BS from becoming normalized

Misinterpreting the exaggerated proposal as a genuine endorsement of border changes is a fundamental misunderstanding of satire. The intent is to ridicule the absurdity of the idea, not to promote it. It’s ridiculous to suggest that a hyperbolic comment meant to expose flawed logic could be seen as support for actual policy revisions.

Humour can disarm tyranny; when policies are mocked, their illogical foundations become obvious.

Great but let’s not get complacent. The only Poll that matters is the election

I am wanting OP to post the source if they’re posting social media screenshots as the vast majority of people won’t verify the post. It’s also possible that a post gets deleted so providing a link lets folks use tools like way back machine to verify in the future. We should require this level of posts hygiene, especially during an election cycle. I’m trying to teach an OP to fish instead of just looking up the source for them.

But to be clear, I am a dumbass for many other reasons.

This isn’t helpful, my post was aimed at OP and calling them out for posting a social media screenshot post without a source. This is especially dangerous during an election.

Thanks for the link. Posting a screenshot without a source is lazy and dangerous. It’s unlike that the majority of folks that upvoted this post did any due diligence? It’s more likely that they upvoted because it matched their existing beliefs which just sets this community up for manipulation. We need to do better, especially during an election.

I’m not trying to be lazy, I’m calling OP out for being lazy. And granted I did not articulate that well at all in my “Source?” comment, so you were right to question my motives 👍

Source?

It depends what country they are in

Debian is a decent Ubuntu based OS 🫳🎤

I’m English born, grew up in Australia, and I am now a naturalized Canadian. If someone said they were British I wouldn’t think they were referring to ethnicity. The US has a unique and unhealthy perspective on ethnicity and race. I hope that a naturalized immigrant to the UK would consider themselves British.

Trump should know better, he was alive in 1812 but he was probably dodging the draft back then too

Now I can't unsee it!

Well it definitely isn’t unlimited data if there is a speed or time limit. I’m this case, there are both.

Interesting perspective but I would argue that the data speed is set to 0, not NULL. They change the speed from say 50Mbps to 0Mbps. And 0Mbps is slower than 50Mbps. And to be clear, I think it’s shitty behaviour by Freedom, I just think semantic debates like this are fun

Technically no data is slower

I want all of the consumer protections EU citizens get like being able to side load apps on iPhones etc.

These seem like reasonable changes

I am too the real Nicole!

He actually got a job in the hospital! He was in the right place at the right time and while he doesn't technically have the credentials because he didn't study medicine, he's going to learn on the job. He's now their Chief Anesthetist
