I get it people don't like Trudeau but to side with someone who is literally trying to destroy your country is wild.

I didn't realise Trump did this?

I'm a conservative, I agree with Trudeaus response… we have too respond we can't just sit back

Entire Canadian military force:

Frick les traîtres!!!

Traitors..?

Frogs go literally two seconds without switching sides challenge

As an American, I'm so sorry that our idiotic country voted for this guy.

please love me

So do something about it

Mass protests in all 50 states are planned for February 5th.

mass protests huh?

How insane must somebody be to support a foreign politician (which is kinda weird by itself, I don't walk around with hats of foreign politicians 🤣🤣🤣)

Uh, yeah almost like Canada is just an American state at this point, huh? Someone should do something about that...

Woa there buddy, don't go getting all patriotic on unceded land. According to its leader, Canada is a post-national state with no core identity, after all.

chuds are so fricking boring

If you support the leader of a nation who openly declares war on our country and constantly talks about annexing us, you're a fricking traitor.

He declared WAR? No way. Do you have a link to anything saying that?

Not all wars are fought with sticks

Nowadays they're fought with !

By the way, THE ENTIRE SUBREDDIT is just a huge struggle session about DJT. There's more seethe here than I know what to do with.

i'm at my big firm corporate girlboss job and one of my coworkers said something about grad school - i missed a deadline last month, guess that's a sore spot for me - and i just started crying. tried to hold it in but all i managed were tears silently sliding down my face. had to slip out after a minute when it didn't stop.

literally been slinking around the office and hiding in the bathroom for an hour trying to stop crying. once, i thought i was in the clear, but when i put my hand on the doorknob to the meeting room it started up again.

i'm so annoyed because i'm a totally competent person otherwise. i'm not even really ""emotional"", like i stay pretty girlboss professional eloquent deadpan all the time - which makes it even worse when i turn into a blubbery red-eyed swollen-faced mess.

all my life i've been someone who cries at the drop of a hat - in elementary school, during ballet class, at parties, etc etc. one of my exes would get so mad at me when i cried and accuse me of doing it to derail whatever stupid fight we were having and make him feel bad. i kept swearing i wasn't doing it on purpose and i tried my best not to cry but he never believed me. i do try!! i hate crying. it's embarrassing and it's a waste of my time. i'm missing an important meeting right now :( i have to go collect my laptop that's been sitting there abandoned. what do i even say? nothing? say my tummy was upset?

Good lord this woman is a MESS. Someone casually mentioned grad school and it caused her to cry for the rest of the fricking day.

The past two nights I've been stuck around liberals that have stared into the abyss for too long. They claim that scared idiots like conservatives like simple answers. Yet the simple answer they cling to for their election lose is that America is racist and sexist.

Never mind the fact that compared to Biden, Kamala got 6 million less votes. Trump only went up by 3 million votes compared to his last presidential rub. The fact of the matter is no one liked her. She has a history of being unpopular.

They say that Trump is holding onto power so he doesn't go to prison. That makes zero sense because he could give himself a blanket pardon just like Biden gave his family.

I really wish these people weren't in so many of my social circles. I need to find ways to meet more regular people

Holy shit it is bleak. There are three Harry Potter books in there and two Hunger Games books in there in the top 10 best books.

Then you compare it to the best books of the 20th century ( still one harry potter book in there in top 10 but they are still doing way better than the 21st century.

How did the quality of the "greatest" works fall down so quickly. It is like humanity has forgotten how to write anything with any depth anymore and it is all at the level of quality of teenage story writing.

Is it simply over for the writing genre as a whole or is it that the best quality writing is actually no longer being recognized as the best because it didn't sell enough copies nor got enough appreciation from writing critics, or is it that there is a complete disconnect between what the average person considers enjoyable writing and what is considered actually good high brow writing?

I think it is a shift in medium where all the people looking for depth and high quality in their literary works moved on to movies and video games instead and all who are still hanging around the writing genre are those who will pick a random niche and the general books based on lowest common denominator which is teenage angst or teenage wonderment slop.

What this means is that the writing genre is going to keep going further down in quality over time and we need to look at the possible extinction of reading one day if everything turns out to be possible to be done by video because people are clearly getting worse at appreciating literature while getting a whole lot better at their expectations and appreciation of better video entertainment content.

Conclusion:

In terms of ease of entry into the writing department this is the easiest time period. In terms of making money from it, likely one of the harder time periods. We can expect the quality of writing meant for general audiences to have reached the lowest floor and never rise above it again this generation. The Zoom zooms are too r-slurred when it comes to quality writing in just a book.

Also if you still read Harry Potter books, READ ANOTHER BOOK!

Congrats to Mexico voters! 🇲🇽

Literally DAYS after getting married (audacity ) and therefore securing an income, mediocre Physics youtuber contracted a fake illness called 'Long COVID', which has no medical basis in reality.

She very much enjoyed the free money and attention being rained over her in volumes that were far greater than they ever were when she was making videos about hecking science.

However, this career move seems to have dried up since Fresh competition has now shown up on the scene and is drawing the attention of her simps.

Though her years of living out the female fantasy of being a waking corpse are behind her, the reality of having wasted several fertile years on a grift may dawn on her soon.

What causes a sufferer of 'Long COVID' to suddenly recover with no apparent changes to treatment? Are there any other diseases that suddenly go into remission with no impetus? It's one of the many mysteries about the female body that doctors must investigate, like why PCOS magically stops existing when you lose 20lbs. We'll just never know.

The embargo for reviews of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has lifted. We don't have a review on the site here at Polygon. This is not an editorial decision; we had hoped to review the game. On Jan. 2, Polygon requested a code for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 from Warhorse Studios, the studio behind the game, and received no response. On Jan. 7, we reached out to the PR firm working with Warhorse, who told us they were "not able to provide access. We'll let you know if this changes." We reached out to parent company Plaion on Jan. 9 as well — no response. On Jan. 10, we saw our peers publishing early previews for the game. We re-upped our request and were again told we would not be given access.

This was very unusual. But this was the situation that transpired with Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. It can be difficult to tell when a studio's decision to withhold a code from a publication is intentional and personal. That's due in part to the fact that the process for getting advance review codes is about as rote and administrative as it gets. Sometimes, PR firms working for studios send us codes unsolicited in hopes we'll cover the game in question. Other times, we request codes from the game's representatives ourselves, several weeks ahead of the release date, and we get those codes when and if they are available.

As part of our final request for code on Jan. 10, Polygon's editor-in-chief Chris Plante contacted Plaion and Warhorse's PR firm to get a comment as to why we were denied advance access to the game. He stressed in his message that our hope is that this decision wasn't due to any personal bias against Polygon, nor motivated by any of our previous coverage of games made by Warhorse or any other. In short, we wanted to know: Was Polygon being blacklisted?

On Jan. 10, we did receive a response to this request stating that we could get one code for the game on launch day, Feb. 4. We did not receive any clarification as to how this decision was made. Nor did we receive the requested clarification on why the developers of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 declined to provide Polygon access to the game.

Because we will not receive access to this game until its public release, our review is nonetheless forthcoming but will not be published in time for its release date. We look forward to telling you more about this game in the weeks to come.

And now, for the why. From Charlie Hall's review (12 February 2018)

https://archive.is/WqcZl

"The game is also not without its controversies. Warhorse is a team of more than 150 people, but the game's creative director has gone out of his way to rationalize his support of G*merGate, a loosely knit hate group that has devoted time to harassing women, people of color and journ*lists in the past. So outspoken is the studio's leadership on cultural issues that they have found it necessary to work with a German outlet to publish anti-fascist, anti-sexist and anti-racist statements prior to their game's launch."

Thank you for that completely unnecessary bank-shot that turned a poor review into a politically motivated hit piece. And you wonder why they weren't lining up for more of that?

Chicago LandStacy Suzie Wilson owns 800 vacant lots in Chicago, and the city has fined her $15M for trash that other people have dumped on the properties.

https://blockclubchicago.org/2025/01/22/hundreds-of-south-and-west-side-properties-for-sale-amid-legal-fight-against-citys-worst-landowner/

Vacant land is cheap (one property in question cost $3k) and has low property taxes. A real estate company in cahoots with a friendly assessor could buy up vacant land for cheap, have it appraised at its max value, and use that as collateral against more profitable investments. (There's no evidence Wilson did this, just a reason why you might buy 800 empty lots). You might also just flip them later for more.

It's a common scam in Chicago to get someone to pay you to haul off some trash, then drive around the corner and dump it on the ground. Tires are even better for this because you can claim a "hazmat disposal fee" of $25/tire and then just push it off your truck somewhere.

But the city requires you to maintain all properties you own, and will fine you for "harboring rats" which means basically having a pile of anything on your property.

Now, as far as I can tell, there are no actual tenants who have been wronged, just angry neighbors, but you know how Reddit hates Persons of Land. Redditors and other rentoids are calling for jail or worse.

THE PUNCHLINE: She formed a company in North Dakota to manage the properties called FCOC (Frick the City of Chicago).

Comments from Block Club's instagram post:

https://instagram.com/reel/DFVsjF_P1_A/

"How is one person able to own 812 properties in just a few neighborhoods in the city, that's insane"

Yeah the government should tell you how much of any one thing you should own.

"You know what would be great for all these lots. Not just to put buildings on them but to make small Parks."

The rent is too high! Also, limit the supply of housing.

https://instagram.com/p/DFImltvubhk/

"These type of families have been a burden on Black families for a long time."

Black families want vacant lots?

"PRISON. She & her sister should be in prison for doing what they've done to these areas. And it is NO surprise that they chose these locations to let their properties go to heck. It shld be illegal to own this many possibly residential properties, particularly so concentratedly."

Prison for not picking up old tires someone else dumped on your land.

"I hope these properties go to people who can take care of them and rebuild communities."

Nope they are being sold to corporate landlords only, for development.

"the way this sale is structured individual buyers will not be allowed to purchase/bid on properties. Only corporate/foreign investors can surmount the requirements."

"White privilege and Chicago lack of accountability"

No way to talk about a PoL

"Suburbanites buy these properties to devalue black communities by driving property values down while property taxes go up. Gentrification."

Yeah, she bought those empty lots and racked up those fines to OWN Black communities.

"lynching lanlords all 25"

Democrats do love a lynching

"How did they get to own 800 in a city they don't live in? amerikkka the criminal enterprise country allows it is how."

I mean, she lives in the west suburbs. The kkk was in the original post, not an rdrama substitution.

https://old.reddit.com/r/chicago/comments/1cdzijf/suzie_b_wilson_king_of_rats/

"At what point does this become criminal instead of civil?" "

"415 ILCS 5/21, prohibits the open dumping of waste. Section 55(a) of the Act, 415 ILCS 5/55 (a), prohibits open dumping of used or waste tires.

It is criminal. There is a statute on the books making it crime, so it's a criminal offense."

Well, yeah, if you're the one that dumped the trash.

"She should be in jail. Don't pay your tickets, go to jail. "

ABOLISH PRISONS! ALSO JAIL PEOPLE FOR LITTERING!

"Hope she gets cancer."

Rust is C++ minus jank. It's beautiful, it's a better language in every imaginable way. Yeah its full of but if chuds have a problem with that, maybe try making a better language?

Total victory btw.

This is going to have hilariously predictable consequences.

Prices will fall for things we produce & prices will climb for things we don't. When Trump had a much smaller trade war in 2018 the price of corn fell by 20% over 2 months because countervailing tarrifs and it wasn't until Rona that they recovered.

Futures started pricing this in on Friday (all grains were down, meat was up) but Monday is going to be fun. Anyone who owns a farm in the US and isn't a corp who can hedge this is fricked.

First consumer price to see movement is going to be onions as they don't have a futures market. Anything that's harvest to supermarket in days-weeks will be next, anything that gets sprayed with water/is refrigerated.

We are also going to see next week if congress are going to hide in the corner while their authority is being usurped or not. POTUS doesn't have authority to do tarrifs like this absent a declaration of war.

Edit: Canada have already announced countervailing tarrifs. https://globalnews.ca/news/10992959/donald-trump-tariffs-canada-feb-1/ waiting for the schedule and hoping they are troll enough to stick 100% on Teslas for the lulz.
