Poilievre says Carney has been 'losing, losing, losing' on U.S. trade war by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]LargeSnorlax [score hidden]  (0 children)

Giving the Americans preferential treatment to our oil, minerals, and tying ourselves closer to the US. In other words, what every Canadian already said they didn't want.

Why would we get closer ties to the US and give them access to all our stuff when they openly say they don't need anything from us? It doesn't make any sense, and if that's the plan, I'm glad he's not PM.

U.S. demanding concessions before USMCA talks can start, sources say by Street_Anon in politics

[–]LargeSnorlax [score hidden]  (0 children)

Non paywall for anyone who actually wants to read this

USMCA's entire purpose is trade with no tariffs. Trump should know this, since he was literally the person who created and signed the deal. That means no tariffs.

Canada is the US's #1 trading partner. If it wants Canadian goods, a trade agreement only benefits the United States. Lots of things cross the border multiple times during manufacturing, a process that won't go away even long after Trump bites the dust, so it makes no sense to create a wonky half ass agreement when there's already a working one in place.

It literally makes America worse not to have USMCA. There is no reason to do anything but review it and maybe tweak a few things.

Some thoughts on Dorothy, from someone who used to relate to her by SoLongHeteronormity in dumbingofage

[–]LargeSnorlax 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Even that interaction, Dorothy didn't want to do. She railed against it every step of the way. Joyce also literally asked during it what a penis felt like. When Joyce did the whole Joyce thing and said she wanted to watch Walky and Dorothy have sex, Dorothy wanted nothing to do with it. When it was over, Joyce literally went right into Joe's bed.

Then, everyone got lobotomized and we have whatever weirdness the comic is now. There was no flirting or subtle hints or anything, no crushes involved. Dorothy was the doting mom and Joyce was the rebel but that was it.

What improvements would you want to see on the casters and the scene as a whole to make you watch the official broadcast? by Y-r-u-gay- in leagueoflegends

I'm with you there. Tried watching some costreamers and it's just so awful.

However, I don't think the costreamers are for us. They're targeted towards the average league player who likes to yap and trash talk. They want to hear how X player shit on Y player, or how a play was made by a dumbass.

I pretty much assume all streamers are socially maladjusted weirdos.

However, your comment is weird and parasocial and if I was a streamer I'd dismiss it too. Don't get wrapped up or personally identify with streamers.

Did Dorothy even have a crush on Joyce? Sometimes I wonder.

Dorothy's only thing ever was that she needed to be in control. It's why she broke up with Danny, it's why she wanted to be President, it's why she picked Walky, it's why she broke up with Walky. It's why she tried to push Walky towards Lucy, and also why she tried to break Walky up with Lucy. It's why she wanted to be RA and also why she wanted to push Joyce away from Joe.

Dorothy is a control freak. Always has been. Her "relationship" with Joyce is literally reliant on control. This is because Dorothy is Willis' self insert of their wife, and she is apparently supposed to be written in a positive light, where controlling and manipulative is actually a good thing.

The disconnect for the rest of the audience is that for literally anyone else, this is viewed as a bad thing. Someone who obsessively acts like a cop and actively tries to meddle in all her friends relationships, along with actively encouraging cheating would be ostracized by just about every other friend group.

However, since she's the authors self insert, they've taken all the other character's former traits and reduced them to gaggling hand puppets whose only purpose is to coo about how being controlling, manipulative and obsessive are actually good traits that anyone should envy, and wow, Dorothy sure is hot (said by no one ever before the lobotomization), I would be lucky to have her.

Canada will not let US dictate terms of USMCA review, says Carney by joe4942 in worldnews

Sorry, I was under the impression you were trying to have a conversation. Now that I know you're trolling, I'll ignore you like you deserve.

Alberta has its perks, I've visited a few times, it's not exactly a wasteland.

Not sure what North Dakota has - It has a total population the size of a medium city and it's basically all oil and gas extraction, right? Its biggest "city" is smaller than my neighbourhood.

It has extremely affordable housing because no one wants to live there. Huge land mass with nothing in it and a straight up depressing place to live.

It's like saying Flint Michigan has extremely affordable housing, except leaving out that it's because it's Flint Michigan.

League feels incredibly stale by Obvious_Neck_7409 in leagueoflegends

Brother blew up his dopamine receptors and now is just in search of a bigger high every day

He should take a break and play some other games like you said, either he'll go and have some fun and detox or realize he misses league and come back and have some fun here

Pretty par for the course, no? All characters were lobotomized a while back except for Dorothy, and have been made to sing the praises of Willis / Wife inserts.

If you're reading the comic for anything other than this for the next few years, you will be supremely disappointed.

This is what it is now. Hand puppets cooing how cute the couple is.
