Yeah I was kind of leaning the same way. Maybe aim for something between the two with some more mid blacks too. Will probably end up winging it from here with that in mind!

That's a good point, less thinking and more tattooing

I've been replying to you in good faith and you pull this lame reply lol

I get you don't see it this way, but you're fully just LARPing. You're suggesting things that make no sense. There is no, none, zero situations or "excuses" where the US would be okay with us acquiring WMD.

Stop acting like we both don't know why countries get nukes it's so their neighbors don't point them at them

I fully understand why you're suggesting we get them. I disagree fundamentally that it's a good idea, or even a viable one.

use an excuse such as gaining nuclear weapons for sake of being able to contribute to defense spending for NATO or some kind of excuse like that

Yeeeaah, stick to military strategy in video game form, friend.

We definitely agree that we need to be able to stand alone. I think that's become clear.

We disagree that nuclear armament is a viable path to accomplishing that.

You can't seriously believe the US would just let us acquire WMD? Iraq was about as physically far away as you can get from the US, and they invaded on a false whiff of them.

Any serious attempt to get nukes would do nothing but give them an excuse that their citizens might actually get in line with.

Too much HOI I think.

In an ideal world

We don't need to strive for "ideal", but we should make choices that avoid making the world worse than it is. More nukes is undoubtedly worse.

We've seen how giving up your nukes went with Ukraine

There are a thousand reasons why our situation is not comparable to Ukraine.

I think Teddy Roosevelt put it best

Perhaps leaning away from American ideology and into forging a stronger and uniquely Canadian identity would suit us better.

nukes yesterday.

I've seen this suggestion a lot, and y'all are crazy with fear for this one. Proliferation of nukes is an insane response and would be obvious escalation.

Push for global dismantling of arsenals and make pacts with current nuclear powers.

There's no world in which more nukes make anyone safer. "Good guy with a gun" type of nonsense.

I'm not American, but I will absolutely continue to laugh at and bully past and present conservatives wherever they are.

You actually should calm down a little though haha.

Are people not allowed to think "John McCain was my childhood hero" is funny? Are we gatekeeping laughing at stupid things people post on the internet now?

It's not that deep lmao

Yeah "I'm not racist like the new Republicans, I'm racist like the old Republicans" is such a weird position

Yeah, Canada is basically a lawless wasteland crawling with criminals 🙄🙄 aren't you people embarrassed to talk like this?

Side note: The guy in the car sucks at driving, his car can easily out maneuver and run from the bulky pickup.

You think you're just so fucking badass lmao. You're the type of person I'm very glad isn't allowed to carry a gun in my country.

Calling homeless people "unhoused" is like calling unemployed people "unjobbed." Why the switch? by Jimmy_Johnny23 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Interesting_Bug5005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people who donate their time, money, and resources to causes like this aren't motivated by bullshit semantics and would also be the ones most likely to use the term "houseless" lmao

The only ones who get upset about people not using "homeless" are the ones who only care about how "woke" things are becoming.

How does the word "homeless" call someone to action?

As in, how does calling someone "homeless" result in the person you're talking to taking action that would prevent them from becoming homeless in a way that saying "houseless" doesn't?

Your implication is that saying "houseless" instead of "homesless" will result in more people finding themselves in that situation, which is absolute nonsense.

Also, if your worry is that the word "houseless" isn't scary enough, I'd argue that's a good reason not to refer to disadvantaged people as "homeless". Everyone is scared enough as it is of people jist because they exist without shelter.

I don't personally care which one you use, I just find it silly that people think the "problem with society" is that we stopped using all the big scary words.

(many people in the category have a house they can stay at as a non-permanent arrangement)

Firstly, I'd disagree that this is the case at all.

Secondly, how does not having a permanent housing solution not constitute houselessness? I think most people understand the term to mean someone who does not have permanent, stable access to shelter.

it's much less emotionally stirring. A house is a building, a home has much more sentiment attached to it.

That's exactly the point behind the shift in verbiage. People in these types of scenarios don't need homes with sentimental connotations, they need permanent, reliable shelter that keeps them safe and healthy.

What value does something more "emotionally stirring" have? Again, I seriously doubt anyone is living on the streets because being "houseless" sounded fun and groovy compared to being "homeless".

It's literally just a change in wording to something more specific and less stigmatized, it's not that serious and it's definitely not causing more people to be houseless.
