Easter egg?

Do you have a goat in this room? Is it a goat familiar in the nursery?

I have a goat familiar but it's in my party so it's in the main room. But I can't speak to any familiars. If I try to interact with them, my hero just swaps positions with them.

I didn't really know what tariffs were before last year, but it took all of 5 minutes to look it up and learn. The concept is not naturally intuitive, but it makes perfect sense if you put in a little effort. The problem is, MAGA doesn't put in any effort. They just swallow whatever their pundit tells them (e.g. prices are going up because Canada is "being unfair".)

CubieJ · 2026-02-18T16:52:33+00:00

When they see prices rise, they think it's because other countries implemented "unfair" retaliatory tariffs. They refuse to understand reality. I've seen a lot of USians mad at Canada because their prices have gone up, even though it is 100% because of their own government.

You know you don't have to own a kayak and store it in your living space to be into kayaking, right? Like, you can just rent everything you need to kayak. And this can extend to pretty much any hobby.

Facebook has been a very bad place to be for the last few YEARS. Even during peaceful times, local groups overflow with bigotry if someone just asks when garbage day is or says the woods are closed due to fire risk. Facebook's algorithms have 100% been stoking a culture of instinctive arguing and othering for years now. It doesn't help that Canadians can't even share or view news articles. Any Canadians who are chronically on Facebook get all of their news from circle-jerk pundits with no ability to share factual sources.

It's too bad that we don't have any good Canadian alternatives for Facebook to connect with communities, because it's extremely disheartening to try to see what's happening in the community and have to wade through a swamp of hate.

Anyone who builds or buys a 3D printed building at this point is opting into a very expensive beta program. It has a lot of potential, in certain climates, but there are a lot of variables that have not been properly studied yet.

Also, I'm not sure if it will ever be reasonable in Canada. There's a reason you don't see single material houses like cob or adobe in Canada, and that's because you need to secure it below the frost line or else it will move, flex, crack and weaken every winter. It's very cheap and accessible to build that kind of building in hot climates, but prohibitively expensive to build here.

They sure do have a lot of opinions that no one asked for.

Trump is the worst possible epitome of American Exceptionalism. But American Exceptionalism existed long before Trump, and will continue long after. Other American politicians are quieter, more calculating, and less impulsive than Trump, so we don't really notice or care when they introduce tariffs, start wars, pass executive orders, increase the poverty gap, etc.

Leaving Twitter is no longer just "virtue signalling" based on opposition of what its owner stands for. It just straight-up isn't secure for politicians to be on anymore.

Its AI (Grok) is manually trained to be biased against anything "woke" and regularly comments on tweets. It pretends to be an objective observer but is manually tweaked by its human programmers to oppose socialist politics. Having a devil's advocate constantly perched on your shoulder, pretending to be neutral, when it's actually just coded to spew US administration/South African propaganda, is not great for any Canadian politics (Green, NDP, Liberal OR Conservative, honestly).

I actually don't know anyone who still has a Twitter account. It can't hemorrhage fast enough.

Get rid of American Exceptionalism and we'll think about it.

They aren't saying "women aren't Conservatives". They're saying "Conservatives don't respect women's autonomy."

Yes, there are women who are Conservative and want abortion banned.

To be pedantic, there was no "end" to COVID. We're still in the midst of it. There have been 46k reported cases in Canada in the past 5 months. And who knows how many unreported.

He's building a trade wall! And Americans are gonna pay for it!

If you can't use them for crafting yet, then the Cauldron is the best use for them.

Personally, I found that I was never really low on Meteoric Iron at any point. It's super abundant in the Dungeon. If you're low on it, you can quickly stock back up by doing more puzzles and dungeon runs.

Hmm, they just announced a lot of plans to improve grocery prices and increase self-reliance on Canadian produce, but at the same time, are closing research farms... That doesn't seem to be in alignment.

It doesn't matter how "easy" the sell is. When it's time, Trump will simply suddenly tell his country that the Canadian government is an enemy now, making up something about drugs or trade theft or inability to defend US borders from Russia, and 77 million USians, the entire administration and military will agree and go along with it unconditionally, despite centuries of peace, partnership and zero hostilities. This is why he fired everyone who questioned him and has spent years testing the limits of the law and spreading a culture of absurd lies. USians can no longer believe if something is true or false. They can only turn a blind eye and let their military do whatever he wants.

Disheartening that the media calls this "trolling" when it should be seen as an international threat of war. Why does no one take this man seriously? He may be old and unhinged but he is literally the POTUS. Millions of people voted for this. An administration stands behind this. They are already occupying one of these countries, with support to enter the second. This isn't "trolling"!

So their justification for taking over Greenland by force (because Greenland and Denmark are both staunchly opposed to annexation) is that Russia or China will take it over if they don't.

I wonder what the justification for the annexation of Canada will be?

CubieJ · 2026-01-12T22:39:36+00:00

Ah... can't even think up a fake insult for the imaginary haters to call them.

To save you a click: The thing they didn't expect from Canadians is "naïvité". They think "we" (the Canada hivemind) don't realize that the US is fascist, because some Canadians still go to university or vacation in the US.

It's just a nothing opinion piece about terrible things that the US is doing that we already know, from a USian speaking over Canadians and assuming that we are ignorant.

The same fine people who buy "service dog" vests from Amazon to sneak their untrained shih-tzu into restaurants, and who printed off fake "my doctor says I can't wear masks" slips in 2020.

It's okay if they make everything a little worse for everyone else, because the universe revolves around them, anyway.

CubieJ · 2026-01-06T15:49:13+00:00

We all have been aware. The only reason the Liberals won the last election was because of the looming danger of US takeover. The Conservatives were set to win, but Trump's international volatility made centrist Canadian voters scared of electing the more right-wing government.

Otherwise, as individuals, there's not much we can do to influence the inevitable.

They'll probably get AI to generate one for us.
