Wait, they poisoned bacon? And the US isn’t in revolution right now?

Hopefully his actual head.

Ah, so Ontario has to change its name to America now.

Mate. Mate. Of course it shows as Gulf of Mexico if you’re outside the US. Because that is its name. We’re not into your country’s weird fantasies, unless troops show up and we have to pretend.

Oh yeah, he’s real smart. “Hey, whatever works”.

Not fascists. Fascists need expansionist military conquest for the regime to survive. When authoritarian communism goes bad, it’s able to survive by The Revolution. The Revolution justifies any act, no matter how brutal and misguided.

Fascism justifies itself through conquest and extermination of “lesser peoples”, like the Slavs or the Palestinians.

Well, that’s some blatant racism. Fascinating that Lemmy is a refuge for that. Political opponents of China, clean up your yard!

Maybe bolt one of those whistling arrows to the outside of the car? Or some wind-powered noise maker more pleasant to listen to but still easily heard?

Yep. It’s one of the eternal beefs between English speakers and Spanish and Portuguese speakers. Neither side has any actual evidence beyond which side they prefer.

(Canadians, for example, do not care about this. They are proud not to be American.)

Have they tried turning it off and on again?

In the middle of our street

What do I do if I want to reach a high area in my roof, like ten feet above me? Hose extensions are floppy.

How did you write this? Are you a wizard?

Air force and navy.

Exactly. Helping organise a genocide in Myanmar, sure, that’s bad, but on the other hand, money!

As long as they’re doing their best, it doesn’t matter if they’re imperfect, as we all are.

You are right.

Look, as an abused kid, you know that the number one thing you want is to not continue the cycle of abuse, right? Sadly, joining the US military is one way of continuing the cycle of abuse. Think about all those kids with war injuries.

And yes, definitely the system is an abuser here too, of you and all those colleagues you saw mutilated and pissed away, but you became part of it.

I’m glad you’re out of it.

It’s all ignorant teenagers who don’t know any better signing up because they believe it can’t be that bad. Then they grow up.
