Were those burgers beef, ostrich, buffalo, elk, or something else?

You need to rethink your social media strategy.

If you want to read books, just pick up a book and read! :D

I'm assuming that someone didn't like Robins and this naming scheme was revenge?

We need laws so that politicians who lie can face repercussions

They can't be appeased. Enough profit is never enough

More sunlight as summer approaches, and enough heat that I can be outside without freezing to death. Can't wait until I can get the back patio set up, and see hummingbirds coming by again. Plus it'll be kayaking season, just in time for my sprained wrist to have hopefully healed.

Meant to be ever since he decided so a few weeks ago? Yeah, that ain't how "meant to be" works

It's because he's not serious. Peace isn't something that serves his interests

Fair points all around. Especially noteworthy since "people" like Kevin O'Leary and others surrounding President Donald are all telling him that lots of Canadians want to be Americans. He's definitely in an echo chamber

My concern is that once push comes to shove he's gonna deploy a nuke, take out a major city, and demand surrender under the threat of more nukes. At this rate it doesn't seem so far fetched considering everything else he's ranted about

"Weak" regularly survives, and thrives. Do you expect everyone on Earth to always be "strong" at all times in all situations? Are all moments of weakness to be shamed and scorned, even if they follow many days, weeks, or months of strength?

Not all weaknesses make us weak; and not all weakness is to be feared, mocked, ridiculed, or scorned. Admitting weakness can provide you with help from others; admitting weakness can free you from unrealistic expectations you've placed upon yourself; and being weak is a natural state of affairs in reality, in comparison to the titanic forces of nature under which we all strive to thrive.

Tales of the Dying Earth by Jack Vance; a collection of 5x short stories, 2x novels, and 3x novellas set in the far, far future Earth. Wonderful mix of SF and Fantasy.

Well, that sounds just awful

Canadland has a 6 part podcast series about this caller The Copernic Affair. It's a worthwhile listen, especially because they go through the evidence against Hassan Diab and it's preposterously thin.

This is the dumbest branding exercise ever. There are no additional "freedoms" that you can get in a corporate-run city versus a regular city; except that perhaps the corporation has more freedom to trounce upon the rights of the citizenry.

If the future that Curtis Yarvin and his type envision starts to shape up, we're gonna need to go full, 100% anti-corporation to push back.

Sovereignty is non-negotiable

Also worth noting that Shopify execs are salivating at the prospect of a Canadian "Project 2025", aka https://www.buildcanada.com/

I hadn't heard of this one before; but a search of the play store is giving zero results. This one require side-loading?
