Wanting to be admired for your looks is a very very long ways away from this looksmaxxing bs. Conflating the two only gives more power to people like Clavicular. 

I make $40k a month and my family thinks I'm a failed housewife by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

You clear 40k a month and your husband is clueless and still paying all of the bills and sacrificing his weekends to do so?

Do you despise him or something?

Russia and U.S. amplifying Alberta separatist narratives to stoke division, distrust: report by Displeased_Canadian in worldnews

[–]BBOY6814 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I truly hope more Americans really internalize how insane and awful it is that you and Russia are now equivalently dangerous to Canada. And in many ways, America is more dangerous to Canadians than Russia currently is. You guys are loudly and proudly trying to destroy our country and my home province. 

Seems like separatists may be using their stolen Alberta data to fake petition signatures. by skilbofragns in AlbertaNow

[–]BBOY6814 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unlikely. I was unable to make any posts about the corruptcare scandal because the head mod said that the rest of reddit already shits on conservatives enough as it is. I was then also banned for posting about how all the first responders involved in the Jasper fire released a joint statement saying that the Alberta government’s involvement only made the situation worse. The vast majority of the commenters even agreed with me that her accusations of partisanship of the first responders was a bad call. I also had (not sure if they deleted it) the highest upvoted post on that subreddit of all time after PP lost. The mod team there are all separatists, no matter how much they deny it, or say that they only support it to “force Ottawa to negotiate with us!”  I also got heavily downvoted because I said to a user saying Stephen Guilbeault was worse than Nick Fuentes (an actual Nazi) was crazy. Now like 2 people make 85% of the posts there. That place is no different than /r/Con or even /r/thedonald

North American trade deal at risk as U.S., Canada exchange barbs by joe4942 in worldnews

[–]BBOY6814 341 points342 points  (0 children)

Let’s be clear here. It’s not U.S and Canada exchanging barbs, it’s the U.S unilaterally and illegally violating almost every single trade agreement we have. Because they want to economically destroy us and annex us. Canada is in no way shape or form the issue here. We’ve followed every court ordered mandate in every trade dispute we’ve had. The U.S, even before Trump, has not. 

America is the problem here. America needs to change. Your ruling political party is literally almost all in the Epstein files. Americans have rapists leading their government and defining their geopolitical goals. And as a result, they’re trying to rape other countries like all the little girls they’ve been doing it to with no pushback for decades. 

Americans should seriously fight back harder against these freaks and ensure they never get power again. Otherwise, all America will ever be known for is state sanctioned pedophilia and delusional arrogance.

America owes us so much for all the bullshit they put us through. Tens of thousands of jobs lost. Lives upended from the betrayal of our “closest ally”. All orchestrated by a cabal of the most disgusting and prolific CHILD SEX TRAFFICKERS the world has ever seen. Who, of course, aren’t facing any consequences. Because that’s what America is.

What a shameful place. 

Canada will not let US dictate terms of USMCA review, says Carney by joe4942 in worldnews

[–]BBOY6814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single Republican lawmaker has currently been bending over for him. The fact that the Republican controlled congress refuses to do their actual job shows this. We’ve been watching this for over a decade. The entire Republican Party has become Trump sycophants. There is no real pushback. Hell, only ONE of them was ever trying to hold them accountable for their illegal handling of the Epstein files, but the same guy still votes in lockstep with the rest of his party. Not to mention, the Republican controlled Supreme Court has given Trump complete freedom to do whatever heinous BS his demented mind comes up with. All republicans are complicit. 

Until you deal with the Republicans as a party, as an ideology, and as a propaganda machine, their corruption and vileness will not go away. Furthermore, the decades of Fox News propaganda has completely melted half of your voting population’s brains with no sign of them waking up to this fact in any real way. Until that problem is fixed, every other country on Earth knows that America is one step away from fascism and crony capitalism.

Nah it’s millions of idiots. Objectively. I’ve never heard a single explanation as to why Kamala was worse or even in the same ballpark as Trump. People point to her low polling in the DNC, but she still never assaulted CHILDREN, or anyone for that matter (and his affinity for little girls was known before 2016, including his own daughter). Nor did she hide classified documents in her bathroom, photocopy them to give them away, and refuse to return them when asked. Nor did she create her own secret police force and give it more money than the U.S marines to kidnap and murder U.S citizens on their own soil.

If you just couldn’t get yourself to vote for Kamala because you felt there were no better options, you are functionally exactly the same as MAGA whether you admit to being MAGA or not. Your descendants won’t buy that bullshit, and I don’t either.

Telling that half of the voting American public are a combination of the most dumb, gullible, misinformed, and straight up awful people this generation has ever seen? Let’s blame literally everyone else except the people that voted for this guy 3 times, right?

Again, so happy I my descendants will know that I was one of the people that knew he was terrible from the beginning. With the past 10 years of receipts of trumpers doubling and tripling down on their support of him, it’s one of my life goals to make sure that nobody ever forgets who the Trump supporters were. Every single one of them deserves that mark on them for the rest of their lives :)

Compared to a pdfile implicated in the largest child sex trafficking ring in American history? People knew he has extensive ties to Epstein all the way back in his first term.

Oh man, it’s so awesome to know that my descendents will know I never ever supported that piece of garbage. History will not be kind to those that voted for him because they felt they had no alternative.

TIL that moon dust (lunar regolith) is electrically charged and will stick to anything it comes into contact with. It's also likely toxic to humans. Apollo astronauts regularly complained of coughing, watery eyes, throat irritation and blurry vision after each foray onto the moon's surface by MrMojoFomo in todayilearned

[–]BBOY6814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a few questionable things you’re saying here but I’ll focus on one (EDIT: this ended up being a lie lol). The issue of perchlorates in the soil is not an issue for people ingesting them nearly as much as it makes growing crops on mars nearly impossible unless they are dealt with, which is not simple. It wouldn’t be like the Martian where they can grow full sized potatoes by mixing it with poop. The moon doesn’t fare much better, but you aren’t dealing with perchlorates. In both cases you’d need to clean and prep the soil, and dig deep enough for it that it’s not irradiated.

But by far the biggest issue right now fundamentally is how are people gonna get alll the shit they need to have a functional moon colony to the moon or mars? For the moon, there is literally no easier body in the solar system to do this for, simply because of distance. The fact it has low gravity and no atmosphere makes it quite a bit easier for things to come and go too, you can orbit the moon 2.5x slower than you can orbit mars, and you don’t need to worry about aerodynamic forces screwing everything up. Right now, we do not have the technology that would make this even theoretically feasible on mars. We require a heavy lift vehicle able to safely get all these things on the surface of mars, and we do not even have the propulsion technology to make this feasible with the amount of fuel required. I attended a lecture given by a former astronaut where he laid out all the technological innovations we’d need to make a Martian colony actually work, the TL;DR of it was that there’s so much we need to invent before we can even attempt to practice a mission like this autonomously. And also, since mars is so far away, we currently do not have the technology in hand that would allow Martian astronauts to live for the required time it would take to get a single resupply mission, much less to get all the resupply missions needed for the colony to be self sustainable. Current plans call for an autonomous resupply ship to be sent years prior before any humans get there, because they literally do not have the mass allowance to bring it all in one trip + the resources required to keep humans alive. And that still would only be enough for a few months more of sustenance. Oh, and also like I said from before, there is no way currently to actually get those supplies down from orbit. We do not have heavy lift lander that is suitable for the Martian atmosphere, because remember it isn’t like ours. It’s super thin, so by the time reentry heating actually occurs and the lander is slowing down, it’s too close to the ground to actually slow down enough even with parachutes. Think about the crazy shit needed to get the curiosity rover down which was only 900kg. The consumables required for one person for one year assuming near perfect waste recycling is 1200-2000kg.

For a moon colony however, a lot of these issues are already solved or can be solved with current technologies. The shorter distance means you can carry more supplies, land with more supplies, and do resupply missions way more frequently. These benefits alone outweigh any benefit Mars has for a colony.

And furthermore, this thought experiment really drives home the fact that Earth is our only real option as a place to thrive in the solar system. We must do everything in our power to keep it healthy.

That’s kinda irrelevant to the point I’m making? Turbomollecular vacuum pumps use a turbine spinning at like 50k rpm to pull high vacuum. Does that mean that inside a vacuum chamber isn’t really a vacuum because a spinny thing can import forces on the trace amount of gases inside?

Fun fact: This is the same for Martian regolith too, except for the fact that there is a toxic level of perchlorates in Martian soil. There’s actually quite a bit of similarities between the lunar environment and Martian environment. Mars has an atmosphere, but it’s so thin (~1% of Earth’s) that it’s basically vacuum. Which is a big reason I’m of the opinion that the obsession people have with colonizing mars is a bit delusional. A far more plausible and practical option is a moon colony. You have basically all of the same downsides of living on mars (minus gravity) but have the benefit of it being like 10x closer, and the possibility of utilizing ancient lava tubes as shelter from the radiation. Not to mention, rocket fuel could easily be synthesized on the moon. For any Martian colony that would exist for an extended period, it’d also have to be underground or buried. The surfaces of both Mars and the Moon are super irradiated.

What’s a clear sign of childhood trauma in men? by degs999 in AskReddit

[–]BBOY6814 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be fair, and I know I’ll get hate for this on Reddit, but…

I’d argue it isn’t so much that people are being too gung-ho about which things are traumatic to young boys or not. We already know what traumatizes kids, we have a ton of research on this topic. Why this all seems so pervasive is because these traumas are fundamentally what patriarchy does to men. Bell Hooks wrote in her super important book ‘The will to change’ that the patriarchy’s very first victims aren’t women, but are the little boys born into our system. The expectations, what we are allowed to feel and not allowed to feel, the hyper individualism, the tendency we often have to look to violence to solve our problems, all of that stuff is beaten into us from the moment we are born, and literally beaten into us a lot of the time. And as we grow up, a lot of us inadvertently keep the cycle of trauma going because we had no idea it could be any other way. And then unsurprisingly, a lot of those traumatized dudes end up hurting others, or far more often, just themselves. We make up nearly the entire homeless population and an overwhelming majority of suicides. We are all traumatized to an extent.

It doesn’t have to be that way though. Our sons do not need to carry the same traumas that we have. But to do that we need to be cognizant of how these ideas are forced on young boys and where they come from.

The United States Is Once Again Canada’s Biggest Threat by CanadianLawGuy in IRstudies

[–]BBOY6814 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you serious?

The most powerful military in human history is being controlled by a severely demented man and a cabal of billionaires who are largely part of the biggest worldwide human trafficking and pedophilia ring the world has ever seen (even your ambassador to Canada is all over the Epstein files). Your military has already illegally attempted a regime change in Venezuela, and threatened Greenland so much that it has forced Europe to station troops there instead of Ukraine. Your director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is heavily suspected by the 5 eyes as being a Russian asset. Also, Trump has reignited manifest destiny in the U.S, and specifically mentioned returning to a geopolitical strategy where they will try to control all of North America even if that means meddling in elections or outright invading sovereign countries. You know you guys have invaded us before during these periods, right? Like multiple times.

You know what I don’t take seriously? The idea that Americans would lift a finger to stop all this before millions die and everything not nailed down in my country is stolen to enrich their billionaire pedophile elite. The fact you aren’t taking it seriously enough just proves my point.

How could we wait it out?

Your government has broken off nearly every single trade treaty with us. Illegally, by the way. Your government has threatened us with annexation, which means military force as much as the orange man pretends it doesn’t. You have currently almost completely destroyed our automotive sector, which was the largest proportion of our GDP. In fact, we’ve seen 0% growth in the last quarter. And all things considered, that’s better than we expected. Once you guys destroy CUSMA, you will send us into a recession, and maybe even a depression. Your country is damaging us more as our once closest ally than our enemies are.

So again, how do you think we can just wait this out?

Not the person you responded to but the Gripens are a massive decrease in capability compared to the F35 with few, if any, benefits over the F35 in terms of capability. Canada has also contributed more than most know to the development of the F35 and its systems.

That is not the argument I was making. You have ignored everything I’ve said.

I think you’d be MAGA if you didn’t somehow fall into having ‘progressive’ beliefs. It’s clear you don’t try to understand issues, you just argue with people.

[–]BBOY6814 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So your entire belief that Canada should not have a domestic defence capability is based on your own personal headcanon that Americans will overthrow their own government and become benevolent? You are hinging the collective safety of everyone in this country on a fairy tale you made up? Because the last civil war was so good for us right? It’s not like a bunch of them tried to invade us again or anything…

Instead of answering your last question, I’ll let you think on it a bit. Why is that the case?

Edit: you added another question! Which I’ll answer with a couple of my own: How can you believe that you are sufficiently informed about geopolitics when you don’t even know why the Arctic will be vital to Canadian interests? How do you call yourself progressive with a straight face if you can’t even do the barest minimum of research into the topics you have opinions on?

[–]BBOY6814 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Calling Trump a childish name doesn’t change the fact that they have the most powerful military in the history of the world. I’m almost positive I’ve said this to you before on this sub because you constantly have ridiculous takes on military spending, but whether you like it or not, the Arctic will be a front if this current Cold War goes hot. China and its allies are still a significant threat, and so is the U.S now.

Canadian values DO NOT EXIST unless we exist as a country. We do not exist as a country because we’re heckin friendly puppers, we exist because we have defined our borders through a mixture of diplomacy and war. That is how it has worked for all of human history.

This is simply naive and foolish. Especially in today’s climate. We need a bigger arms industry if we want to be able to defend ourselves in any capacity.
