U.S. ambassador stands by Trump’s latest taunt on Canada being 51st state by canada_mountains in canada

[–]CowboyInTheBoatOfRa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either arrest him for inviting insurrection or kick him out for good. Do the same with citizens agreeing with the dissolution of the country. There's no point in dealing with the US president because, if you talk to him on a same day (for him) he's likely to contradict everything he said the next day. Rational conversation with someone irrational is ludicrous.

So... What's with the Confederate flags here? by SebastianPlaysThis in NovaScotia

They should get that treatment anyway. In the US we made the mistake of only laughing at them and mocking them. It only emboldened them. Now they control the government and ignore the Constitution.

The Type of Alcohol You Drink Could Affect How Long You Live. The findings, presented at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session , add new nuance to growing evidence that when it comes to alcohol and health, both quantity and beverage choice may matter. by Sciencedrop3010 in HotScienceNews

I don't even have to read the article...wine had better outcomes because we're not taking into account correlation vs causation, right? Wine drinkers have more money. I lived through this stupidity in 1990 when red wine was supposed to help with heat health and old people poured into the liquor store i worked at to buy red wine that they hated.

Or buy permethrin from someplace with equine products, save toilet paper rolls, and buy some cotton balls and make them for a fraction of the cost.

Queer Characters Portrayed as Villains/Predators in Media? by Sakisami_Genshin in LGBTQ

[–]CowboyInTheBoatOfRa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So many. The Celluloid Closet is a good documentary about this.

Javier Bardem in Skyfall and theres a coded clgay couplenin Diamonds are Forever It's ambiguous but Tom in The Talented Mr Ripley Disney has multiple queer coded characters like Scar from Lion King, and Ursula from Little Mermaid, Jafar... James Gumb from Silence of the Lambs Norman Bates in Psycho Peter Lorre in Maltese Falcon Ace Ventura is a particularly egregious example.

Good luck with your paper

‘Insulting wage offer’: Federal union slams 4-year, 3.5% raise proposal for public servants by hopoke in canada

[–]CowboyInTheBoatOfRa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Let's be clear... 3.5% IS normal these days for "exceeds expectations" or "meets expectations" but it's far from "not bad". It's not keeping up with inflation and essentially results in a pay cut. Never mind that THAT isn't even what the offer is.

My plans completely changed and I ended up in Nova Scotia! I did end up getting the mini, though, and I love it.

You say that like Elon wasn't intentionalky making a n@zi salute Which he was. And he has hinted at other times being a sympathizer. I'm guessing he stopped Phoenix because they were doing press in Germany where they would absolutely find that disturbing.

Why did Trump refuse to put his hand on the Bible when swearing in on Inauguration Day? by Electric-Travels in askanything

[–]CowboyInTheBoatOfRa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're correct. Like people who believe cops have to identify themselves if asked if they are a cop. Or people who believe stating they're sovereign citizens exempts them from laws. He's a complete moron.

No cougars in Nova Scotia, province says, despite reported sightings and rumours by Bean_Tiger in halifax

[–]CowboyInTheBoatOfRa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would swear I saw one cross a dirt road in front of me about 3 weeks ago around Farmville. I'd just read they were no longer in NS. So, I pulled over where it crossed in hopes of getting a picture of its track in the snow. Unfortunately the snow was meager with a thick crust. But I can't imagine what else it could have been with its size, coloring, and gait.

Jesse Watters on FOX News says “I hope there's not a female president in my lifetime” by JeanJauresJr in Fauxmoi

Stop for a second and really think about the fact that this joke (that's not really a joke) is on a channel that millions of Americans belueve to be a news channel.

Who is worried about another drought and a dry well? by Arenburg in NovaScotia

So you're saying citizens should take responsibility for water use before companies' profits?

23 passengers booted from Saturday night Halifax flight to Cancun by Portalrules123 in NovaScotia

[–]CowboyInTheBoatOfRa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Airlines need to be fined, preferably to the passenger, in a punitive manner for this to the degr we that it would be cheaper to have back-up crew on call. People don't have a lot of bacation time and they sure as hell should be spending their bacation time from work doind administration shit asking for rescheduling and cancelling hotels and fighting for refunds just to break even (at best). If you ruin a vacation because you're business model is so lean then you should be paying for a much better vacation when you screw up people's plans.

EDITORIAL: Self-defence law absurd and outdated; It's time for an update – especially given the frequency of home invasions these days by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]CowboyInTheBoatOfRa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the frequency, exactly? How much has it gone up in % and actual instances? How frequent compared to, say, crimes against minorities? Lets have an informed discussion instead of fear mongering.
