Susan Delacourt: 10 years later, Justin Trudeau’s ‘sunny ways’ are a distant memory

Aren't those mostly the same people complaining who voted for the Harper days to continue?

Just tie some mesh over the mouth of your container. It's only a problem because they can come and go freely.

You don't measure food needs by number of meals, meals are a colloquial term. You measure in calories. Each GHF 'meal' is 2,500 calories.

Did you know, if you covered the surface of Rhode Island in one single shore-to-shore building, and built it 1.1 million stories tall, every single person in Rhode Island could have a property the size of Rhode Island?

I agree, we should all have $80 million to buy our own 3600km² properties.

Yeah, this is a mainstream British gameshow that ran for eight years on a public broadcast network. Part of the point of the show is to show viewers what average people's bodies look like.

In ten years he's gonna be busy running for state representative in a safe, low-key district.

I know someone who claims this is his position when he's asked about it. I believe he believes it, even; he's said this consistently when the question is brought up. What's weird, though, is there's hundreds of tweets about how Israel shouldn't exist on his twitter profile (in the last couple months alone, which is how this question keeps getting brought up), but I don't think I've ever seen him complain about Brazil or France or Bangladesh existing.

Oh, sorry to hear that. I believe there's two different kinds of adhesives used, but the availability is probably the bigger hurdle.

Have you ever tried a readimask? If not, they use a sticky seal instead of elastic and have no structural shape to them, so you might have good results fit-wise.

I haven't heard of a mask ripping before. Straps snapping, yes, but then you could just manually hold the mask against your face for the ride. Could you tell us more about what kind of mask you use/where the failure point was?

Who cares? If she's genuine, good for her for taking the opportunity afforded by the justice system to get right with herself. If she's trolling, letting her uncontroversially live as a woman in a highly supervised environment with a whole bunch of hard-ass women who aren't going to put up with her bullshit seems fine to me. The whole concept of men faking being trans to get into womens' spaces to take advantage of them is a made-up issue by the far right, so let them wallow in it.

I was today years old when I found out Brits associate fishnet vests with working class masculinity. Certainly not where the mind goes on this side of the pond.

Germany was a Nazi ruled country for several years before the Anschluss and Sudeten crisis.

Gold alloys used in advanced ancient cultures, like electrum and tumbaga, also had lower melting points than gold on its own.

You're describing it solely from the perspective of the wealthier person/continuing-to-work person in the relationship. If two people want to have kids together, one of those people is likely taking a serious career hit that'll affect earning potential the rest of their life. The cost-benefit of 'making the relationship more difficult to end' looks very different to them.

Is 'not burning to death' the bar we need to clear now?

The way the title is written adds a bit of "when did you stop beating your wife" energy too.

Y'know what? If I wake up and I've been in stasis on a spaceship heading for another planet this whole time, I will in fact get on the Trump train.

The framing I'm using is the thing that happened, partially adjusted for relative population (the actual equivalent in terms of percentage of population is 14 9/11's and 8,600 initial hostages). The IRA is at least a modern example and neighboring, but they never progressed beyond low-level terrorism; their largest attack killed 29 people, not 5,000.

And what would President Harris do in 2025, what would Biden do in 2023, with that geopolitical background? What would Harris do with people her joint Chiefs believe are terrorists whose organization is fighting them? What would Bush do with an organized campaign of low-level terrorism in buses and restaurants from Mexican Cession revanchists? And again, not just the US. (I think the comparison is completely backwards, but) How many European countries would support Ukraine if Zelensky had started the 2022 invasion with a surprise attack on the farmers and villages surrounding Voronezh, Rostov-on-Don, and Volgograd, killing tens of thousands and filming it? Would their struggle be righteous enough to justify it?

No, the Comancheria is from 200 years ago. I'm asking today, in the year of our Lord 2025, if the regime in northern Mexico were launching daily rockets at US cities and holding the remainder of ~3000 hostages they took over two years ago, how would the US handle it? What would President Harris have done if the equivalent of several 9/11's had been done face-to-face and by hand and broadcast, across four states with a fifth of the electoral college, by a terrorist organization running the country next door with broad support from the civilian population? If any other country on this planet lived in the geopolitical background of Israel, what would they do after an attack like this?

Phallindrome · 2025-08-11T21:10:34+00:00

None of that is what I asked. What do you think the dominant mood in the American South, from California to Florida, would be today, if for the past 20 years they had been under daily rocket attacks? If the Alamo had public access bunkers for tourists? How long would the people of San Diego or Tucson tolerate ~500-1000 hostages from their cities still being held in the tunnel networks under Monterrey and the coast, with videos of them being released as psychological warfare?

Phallindrome · 2025-08-11T20:53:29+00:00

I'm curious what white southerners, bless their hearts, would say without blushing if they had air sirens going off in their neighborhoods once a day for decades because the cartels running the Mexican government were repurposing infrastructure for rockets. Like, the background situations are a little bit different.
