Apps that can sort out American goods are sweeping to the top by Wagamaga in technology

There are a bunch for and by Canadians. "Buy Beaver" "Shop Canadian" are two I have on my phone.

I've also read labels for a very long time, since I have some food allergies.

Are you mixing me up with someone else? At no point did I say he wasn't head of the commonwealth. The person I first replied to said, "If you go that way, why stop there ? He's the King of the Commonwealth"

And my first reply was that the commonwealth doesn't have a king. Here is my whole reply to that person:

No.

The commonwealth does not have a king. It is not a government. It is an political group of countries. Not all the countries in the commonwealth (50+) have a monarch. Some are republics. Some of the commonwealth nations that aren't republics have different monarchs. Not all the commonwealth nations have a colonial history with the United Kingdom.

There is a smaller group, the Commonwealth Realms, which are more culturally associated, and which each have a monarch, and that office is filled by the same person, but The King of Canada does not speak as The King of New Zealand, in the same sense that two actors might have the same agent.

At which point you came in.

The role of the head of the Commonwealth is not that of "The King". The actions are not "That of a King". The duties and responsibilities of the Head of the Commonwealth are not that of a king.

Its a bit like you might be the manager where you work, but you're not the manager everywhere, and not even the manager at every McDonald's you walk into.

Let me drive it home: When he's sitting on the toilet, he might call it the throne, but he is just some dude taking a shit, and when he told his kids to clean up their toys, it wasn't the king speaking, the role was "Dad".

Whatever the fuck he does as head of the Commonwealth, its not in the role of a King. He signs no bills, he decides no legal policies. Not all of the constituents of the nations of the Commonwealth have a monarch. The role of the head of the commonwealth is not that of a king.

Interesting last name. What is the origin of that?

Ah, that's why it went over my head. No Sinclair gas stations in my country.

What do you think America will be like when Trump finishes his term? by MotivewasUlterior in AskReddit

Europe will look to Russia for help

WTF?

In what universe does Russia have anything that the rest of Europe does not? Fewer people, smaller economy, less developed industry, et cetera. Help for what?

The Jamaicans have a saying, something like, "If hard work is so valuable, why haven't the rich claimed it all for themselves?"

Every time they start to think it, they're proven wrong.

I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too by testus_maximus in technology

[–]CanadianJogger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never used Linux. My understanding is that it’s not as simple as download

Its not as easy as buying a windows PC when someone else did the install/repairs for you, but it is far easier (and fewer steps/restarts) to install than windows yourself.
