Is it? Dang can’t fuck shit in the UK.

Interesting, makes me very confused on why we added nicotine to tobacco on top of what is in it already (my uncle worked on a tobacco farm as a young man and did spray the stuff). I guess they really wanted that nicotine…

Oh it looks that way on purpose, there are barely two parties and its used to control the people. When you see “everyone else” that is the trick, the other party that is not in power does nothing but gets to be seen the one that is “representing” that mass.

Maybe when the union is dead, but yeah they are speed running the collapse of an empire.

I am sure they think that it is the tobacco that is a insecticide and not the nicotine that was added to said tobacco…

The reason it is like that is that over many years the us system pushed the teamification of politics and enshrined only two parties in law. This was inevitable with only two parties, and should be a lesson to all other nations on the dangers of two party systems. The “us vs them” tricks of control are very easy when there is only two parties. It is poison to any democracy as no one is represented by ether “side” but everyone is sorted into a side and convinced the only way to fix anything is by having your side win (but of course there is no insensitive for ether party to actually fix anything, often the opposite).

The us has been trained (and sadly a lot of the world) that coalition rule is bad, even when its the only real way to have any sort of representation or guard rails in government. And you are right no one is represented now due to years and years of only two options that both know they are built into the systems of government so deep that their removal would require a new nation. After all this time there is no longer meaningful representation, but there is convenient scapegoats and excuses in pointing at the other side, so people in the us still think they live in a democratic system.

From a Canadian instance, really? This shit is so frustrating to see. The whole two party nonsense that this bullshit pushes is exactly why the usa is in the mess they are in now.

No, people don’t have to “pick a side” the ones who think in terms of teams are our enemy.

I guess this is one more reason to never travel to the states, I worry Canada and Mexico will see more rabid animals though.

And now I think I will get a rabies booster (I hope that is still a thing).

Can we call it now? The usa is not a real nation that should be taken seriously.

I don’t understand how there was not a shit covered act of violence. To this day I just don’t get why those ass blasters where just lived with, like some sort of unchangeable act of nature.

It was years ago at this point, I hope they made it out. Wonder if it happened to anyone more then once.

I once was in a McDonald’s washroom in the very dirty city of Regina while traveling and it was life changing. While in the washroom this person comes storming in, drops trow and pushes their ass up to the stall wall (not the door but next to it) and just starts ass blasting. Very much liquid human waste is now spraying everywhere (due I assume to the pressure seal they have made with their ass on the wall). I was lucky and was washing my hands near the door and was able to exit without incident, but I do remember that there was another person in the very stall getting a colon pressure wash. I went to the counter and told the staff about it (hoping in vain they might be able to save the person trapped with nothing but that very open gap stall as their defense) and to my shock they did not seem at all surprised but just said, “oh them again”. When I somewhat shaken ask what they mean by “them” they explain that its not just one ass blaster but a couple that both regularly run into the “wrong” bathroom at the same time (the gender of the ass blaster did not even occur to me, let alone rank high on my list of issues) and just, as they put it “make a bad mess” of the washroom. At this point I asked about what can be done about the person trapped in shit land, and the staff just looked at me like I grew a second head. They did not see the issue at hand, they just went “well that is where shit happens” and they can always clean off.

Now by this point the ass blasters have finished and left (no one seemed to even look at ether of them) and my food was ready (I ordered then went to the washroom). The staff member grabs my food and tells me not to worry too much about the event as it “only happens a few times a month”. I get my food and leave passing by another staff member white in the face pushing a cleaning bucket towards the rooms “where shit happened”. As I drive away eating my food I have the thought, I really should not be eating this, and I never saw the person in the stall leave.

I have had 5 of the things so far in my life, not one headgasket needed. Its the coolant additives that eat the gaskets, use the right coolant and no issues. Well that and don’t bounce on the redline like an idiot.

This is the global political equivalent of standing on the couch and shouting “PEACE!”. No one is taking the idea of letting russia get away with territory and any form of immunity seriously.

Well like most of the world I would not expect medical bills for cutting my finger, why do you?

Not sure, maybe ask Microsoft?

Ukraine has already stated it is not able to legally sign away territory (a big part of this bullshit “deal”). This is dead in the water unless there is a regime change in Ukraine, something that would likely cause even more issues.
