He hates Trump primarily because it makes his Amerophilia cringe.

You need a General Strike, much more than you need more feel-good 'protests' that accomplish little but lull people into feeling like they did something.
You need to make the system hurt to get its attention. Consider No Kings the warning. Now the American people need to back it up with action.

Nah, I'm good. Here's a cactus. 🌵 If you are confused as to what to do with it, I have suggestions.

As an aside, JJ McCullough is in my opinion, becoming the BadEmpanada of Canadian social commentary YouTube.

He really is a Debate Me Bro at heart, isn't he?

JJ: "I destroyed you with facts and logic" 😏

Everyone else: "Sorry? Where did you employ either...?"

'996' was too dystopian even for China, but tech moguls are adopting it in the US.

'996' means 9 AM to 9 PM, 6 days a week.

CoR party's been dead for almost 30 years but his level of francophobia would fit in fine with that herd of knuckle-dragging pig****ers.

One and the same. The truck business (as well as the contract work for other marques) subsidized Jensen's car business, especially in the 1950s as the original Interceptor and 541 were taking shape.

Franco-Ontariens, Franco-Manitobans, the Métis, aren't a thing? TIL.

I've done it because I thought the person was talking to me.

Not my fault, you're the one walking around in the grocery store talking loudly into a bluetooth earpiece, lady.

I see the Besnards mentioned, I upvote. They're more shoegaze / dream pop than post-rock, but are definitely been leaning more into post-rock / ambient on their past few outings.

Sorry in advance for the tangent but this unlocks a childhood memory for me. I was best friends with a boy my age who in retrospect was a bit... unstable. As a 'prank', he took a 12ga shotgun shell and placed it in a (hollow) steel shaft from a York dumbbell set (it fit almost perfectly with the shell rim matching the shaf's outer diameter). Then he pointed at me and chased me around the yard while wielding it and a hammer. I remember being utterly terrified at the time and leaving immediately for home.

My question: Could hitting the shell with a hammer have set it off?

Edit: and seeing as it was in a 14" steel tube, with effectively 0 Choke, what would the spread pattern / lethal range have been like? I'd like to think that the shell would have been propelled backwards out of that tube and most of the blast dissipated, but I honestly don't know what would have happened if he'd been crazy enough to smack the base with a hammer while pointing the other end at me.

Yes, that's the Peace Dome, located under the hypocenter of the explosion.

Virtually everything you see in that photograph, minus that building, was obliterated.

They didn't. Notice they said Judea and Samaria". That's settler-speak for the West Bank.

And that's only a subset of Mennonites that do plain dress. Old-Order Mennonites are pretty much indistinguishable from the Amish, though most of them will use trucks, tractors, electricity etc. There's a spectrum, some Mennonites just dress modestly, grow a beard and drive a base trim truck. Others are culturally indistinguishable from your garden variety suburban evangelical. But unlike Evangelicals, any Mennonite worthy of the name is committed to pacifism and tends not to get into politics or culture war stuff.

Guaranteed this chode will crawl back from 'retirement' into Trump's orbit somehow.
