He went on and on about how there was nothing canada or mexico could do to prevent the tariffs and then he rolled over in less then 48 hours. And as a canadian im not gonna forget about this anytime soon. Ill keep buying canadian.

Lol, he straight up said that the tarrifs were contingent on whether canada/mexico met his demands regarding illegal immigration/human trafficking/fentnyl which they did. Him threatening tarrifs worked and him not having to implement them is a good thing for the economy. How embarrassing tho

it begins anew!

As part of my Banlog, I am somewhat inclined to give @BIGBILLYKONGDONG a serious ban for the outrageous boomerphilia on display.

As a work of ironic praise for a 78 year old man's fantasy, it's a solid piece. Truly let us celebrate that we are all collectively engaged in a public arts project to facilitate the transition of boomers out of public life.

It's truly funny that we are all pretending that this old man is a president. That he is mentally capable, and not just lashing out with random whims with other aged decrepit men. The elaborate practical joke we're pulling on our elderly is a riot of laffs.

But:

For me the choice is easy.

Right off the bat, I'm American, and this is just my best guess, but I've been talking to and hearing a lot of Americans say stuff like "oh if it came to it it would be over in a day" or some stuff like that. WRONG

We. Would. Not. Be. Able. To. Stop. The. Bombings.

I don't think most Americans consider how much easier fighting a war is when you can identify your enemy by skin color and language, you guys speak English (mostly) you have basically the same demographic makeup as the US, basically what I'm saying is that you are the platonic ideal for a partisan guerilla campaign.

You can't buy KN03 in Canada because the government is worried people would make black powder with it. Americans have nothing to fear from !leafs bombing them.

I can pretty much guarantee that the first thing the Canadian military high command does is erase all records of who is in the Canadian military, hide all of their leopards, their jets, their stuff that is on par with US military tech in bunkers in the Northern Territories and destroy the fricking maps, you won't be using them for a while, but they're nice to have around if needed.

No. We haven't even destroyed the long gun registry 20 years after a court ordered it to happen.

The Canadian military will then systematically erase any identifiable signatures it has, servicemen and women will burn their ID cards, their uniforms, bury caches of small arms, explosives, anti tank weapons, anti air rockets.

Lmao no. Most CAF members have little to no real training. They don't have the ammo needed to train. Heck they got rid of post basic training! !burgers that right leafs go to basic and then "learn on the job".

This war would not look like anything the US has ever seen before in its history, this war would look like car bombs in Des Moines Iowa every day, Police Stations being shot up in every state of the Union, political assassinations.

Canadians allowed themselves to be disarmed (at least the lefties did). They don't have guns to shoot with.

Probably lots more.

I had a small role in recruiting this man. He'd spent the last ten years leading engineering teams on a consumer product you've probably used, and he's just arrived in DC to work with the federal government. He started on Monday, and it's now Thursday night. I run into him at an event. He arrives late, and looks shellshocked.

How's it going? He's struggling to put words together. I'm worried. "I just left the office. I think everything's going to be okay." What is he talking about? "For the first day and a half, nothing. Then it was 'go to this agency and help them with this thing. It needs to go live on Thursday and there's a problem.' Yes, there was a problem. The data the service relied on….I've never seen a database like that. Ever." What do you mean? "1993. The guy couldn't find any other way to make it work. The vendors would have taken too long even if someone could justify the budget. So he just hacked it at nights and over weekends. Used whatever he could find and taught himself how to use it. The machine is ancient. The software has just been running since then. I'm amazed he managed to keep it running this long. It's a miracle. Either no one knew, or no one cared — my guess is that they were just happy to have something that worked at all. The guy's been keeping this going like this…I mean…I had no idea…I've never seen…." He's shaking his head and looking past me.

What happened? "First we just had to make sure we could get the data out somehow, make sure we had a copy. I mean, these records…they're the only copy. The whole system relies on this. People rely on this. To help real people. People who need help. If it had failed…" He really is in shock.

"I'd just never seen anything like this. I was afraid if I even touched it, it would all go poof. We got it out. It's okay…. It's okay now…But this guy…He's been keeping this together for 23 years…"

For a minute, I worry that he's angry. And that he might be angry at me for encouraging him to take this job. But I look in his eyes and it's not anger, it's awe. Respect. Admiration and gratitude for a public servant who has achieved the impossible. Made things work in spite of the rules, not because of them. "He made it work. He's the only guy who can run it. He knows it wouldn't work without him so he's deferred his retirement. I mean…he's extraordinary."

Extraordinary. A Silicon Valley technologist, the kind of person we champion as a savior of government, thinks that a career civil servant beyond retirement age with sorely outdated technical skills is extraordinary.

That career civil servant's name is Jed. The system he started building in the 1980s and maintained for decades before my friend came along was called VACOLS, the Veterans Appeals Control and Locator System. It started out serving just 400 users, and expanded to 17,000 across multiple parts of the VA system. Logic Magazine later interviewed him, and the backstory is well worth a read.

!marseyartists !marseyfans

This woman made a post a week ago stating that Trump will make the great reveal today. I guess he still has a few hours left to do that.

This guy says Trump will soon reveal technology that will revolutionize transportation, but all of the replies are just concerned with when he is going to bring out the medbeds.

A poll is posted asking people if they believe medbeds are real. 63% say yes.

This guy replies saying the town where Trump got shot actually already has a medbed center open.

What the heck is Tesla BioHealing? Any connection to Musk, or are they just piggybacking off the name?

https://www.teslabiohealing.com/

This is their website. What the heck is with that tab in Japanese? Clicking it downloads a PDF in Japanese that talks about how they provide minerals that can fix your "chi." Seems like a legit medical company.

The FAQ section on their website talks incessantly about some pseudo-health shit involving "biophotons" whatever the frick that means.

This section of the FAQ is what holds any real information. The "cover our butt legally" part buried in the FAQ.

Actually, Elon Musk already disclosed that medbeds exist in a video I saw but can't remember the name of and basically you're fricking stupid if you still think they aren't real.

Is this person a fricking bot?

Trump is going to usher in a communist utopia according to these people.

Military bases have been filled up with medbeds and very soon you will be able to go to one and get all of your physical ailments solved FOR FREE!

Very soon all hospitals will be shut down and completely replaced by medbeds. I, for one, can't wait. Thank you, Mr. President!

Most Based Comments

Basedness: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔘

It's funny how woke/SJW are posting on all these places thinking that anyone has the wherewithall to actually read any of it. I don't give a crap about DEI, all I care about is who has the best product and the best price for it.What's more interesting though is the psychological mentality for people thinking this is somehow useful. It's not, all I care about is product and price. This is same train of "organic" food which failed because the real issue isn't DEI but economics for normal families. (-44)

Basedness: 🔥🔥🔥🔘🔘

No one mentioned DEI, I just said I didn't want to support MAGA. No one will have the best price shortly.And the best way, and most American way to vote has, and always will be, vote with your wallet. I'm voting with mine. (19)

Just replace DEI with MAGA. Still don't care. The only thing I hate about MAGA is the tarriff/inflation which hits our wallets. Let's stay focused on the real goal here. (-23)

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

So are you a capitalist or a constitutionalist.In your world, I am responsible for not only voting my conscience, but am then responsible for the economic stability of people who express ideals that are inimical to my belief systems. Under that logic, I am being punished for valuing things like free speech (if Musk is a special government employee, and he's actively banning political views from X, then this is a violation of my rights), separation of church and state, equal rights, etc.The moral gymnastics you are doing here is amazing. You've said it yourself, you really don't care, as long as people take care of your business by shopping at it. That's unbelievably selfish and completely morally vapid. (0)

are the two mutually exclusive?Didn't say you're responsible for others, but I did point out the harm that you'd cause (it would take a LARGE group of boycotters to have an impact, so when I say "you" I mean the entire r/kirkland subreddit) and the futility of your efforts (ya aint gonna change anybody's mind, but you will most likely entrench them). I can't tell you what to do, but I can let you know how stupid and futile it is.I think you misread. I pointed out the harm a boycott would do to businesses - not only the target's business but affiliated businesses and employees. And while it could include my business, the point I was making is the interconnectivity of all of us in this community. So how much collateral damage do you think is acceptable to punish someone for legally and constitutionally exercising their right to vote?Again, boycott criminals, child male feminists, and real Nazis. But when one group of people tries to punish another group for voting in their own self-interest,... (2)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

If a business posts QANON or MAGA paraphernalia at this point in the game they are advertising that they support an openly fascist regime. Where do you draw the line? (0)

What do you think will happen? If you boycott Spud Fish & Chips* because the owner voted for Trump, which do you think is more likely:a - The owner sits in a dark room with a glass of scotch and re-assess his life and choices. He thinks, "wow, maybe I AM wrong and I shoulda voted for Kamala"b - as sales at Spud Fish and Chips take a 10% hit, he lays off two employees and reduces his orders from local food and supplies vendors. He has no idea why sales have dropped because all the people who disagree with him ARENT engaging with him - they're boycotting. All he knows is what FOX news tells him, and he blames it on Bob Ferguson's climate policies. * I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE OWNER OF SPUD VOTES! I'm just using him/her as an example. Anyway, boycott child male feminists. Boycott real, avowed racists and Nazis. But don't boycott people who are exercising their Constitutional right to have an opinion (no matter how misinformed it may be) and to vote on it. Because that's waaaayyy too close to firi... (2)

Problem: the face of the modern day train movement is a failure in both messaging and substance. Most people can't relate to trains at all and their political platform makes no sense to them. Their most prominent figures are inscrutable, to say the least.

However, even those of us with slight chud leanings are aware there are trains who just want to lead their lives without being a nuisance to the general public, who won't put you in a headlock for misgendering them, and are currently the victims of political crossfire.

Plan of action: trains need an engaging, non sexual, NON POLITICAL tv series where they're interacting with normal people much like the makeover show Queer Eye For the Straight Guy, which—along with the sitcom Will & Grace—was a groundbreaking show for its time. Homosexual men have intuitively understood what kind of media presence would gain them mainstream acceptance: be nonpolitical, be attractive, be non threatening, be funny.

Why haven't transpeople pursued the same?

Trains need a popular normie show where they don't browbeat people about gender ideology. Where they don't bring up the issues of bathrooms, sports, or children. Where they don't cry about transphobia. And OF VITAL IMPORTANCE: where they cast only non threatening, charismatic, and attractive trains.

Just pulling these examples from the top of transtimelines, they need to cast trains that look like this:

https://old.reddit.com/r/transtimelines/comments/1ida40i/1821_11_mo_to_33_mo/

Or this:

https://old.reddit.com/r/transtimelines/comments/19cm73x/i_still_have_the_jumpsuit/

Or this:

https://old.reddit.com/r/transtimelines/comments/1elh10m/i_started_hrt_at_18_and_ffs_at_19_and_im_so_happy/

Gather attractive and entertaining trains, preferably with a good sense of humor, and make a show where they help regular men and women with different struggles. Put their competence, helpfulness, and amicability on display. It's important to show them displaying skills and helping people normies can identify with.

What sort of struggles could trains help with specifically? Not quite sure, but It might be something like helping normies blend into an unfamiliar situation or territory. Here's a transman giving other transmen advice on how to fit into a male dominated workplace…such advice could easily be given to a struggling spergy or effeminate man as well:

https://tiktok.com/@thegravelbro/video/7319501409366314286

Remember, the vital thing is to remove all politics and sexuality from such a show. Most people associate transpeople as being gratingly political (or perverted) because this is the essence of their main, and probably only interactions with trains online.
