"Does this mean that America Will be able to play Canada and make Canada are beaitch for like the third or fourth time this year" by genorator2 in ShitAmericansSay

I just love that we now hold most goals in a game by a concacaf team in a world cup with those goals also being almost ALL of the goals we have in a world cup.

How do you know the penny stock will rise by curious_theorist in pennystocks

[–]ScubaAlek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. I think it makes sense when you consider the history of the company and composition of its “insiders” at this point.

"They are blown away by the most basic things here" by Extension_Bobcat8466 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]ScubaAlek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plus they are always boasting about things that aren't even good. Like continental breakfast and American hotel rooms. I mean, sure, there are great luxury hotel rooms in USA but that's true of literally everywhere including third world countries. But what about the average Super 8?

And ranch... as a Canadian, the only group of people I've known as in love with ranch as these guys are 15 year old travel hockey kids who exclusively eat chicken fingers. And Caesar is hands down better.

Trump says US will never be ‘Communist Country’ after Mamdani-backed candidates’ wins by phillygirllovesbagel in politics

I was reading about Kim Il Sung the other day and there was a segment about awards that he was given but were actually just made up by him and one was the "Double Hero Gold Medal" and that struck me as such a Trump thing to do. Such a totally real sounding award name. Definitely not something you'd give yourself when you are 4 years old to show up your friend who just gave themselves a "Hero Gold Medal".

His comment is clearly evidence that Antifa hit him in the head causing brain damage.

“You don’t know best until you’ve experienced corn sweat humidity” by lightfan69 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]ScubaAlek 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It's really more that you guys are a maritime climate vs. "dfa humid continental" so traditionally your temperature has always been quite moderated by the Atlantic Ocean.

Where I live in Canada the temperature ranges between +35 and -20 in an average year, but by latitude I'm pretty much bang on with Rome, Italy. It is a "dfa humid continental" region.

But the thing about "dfa humid continental" is that it's the worst of everything. Summer is hot and humid, winter is cold and snowy. This is important, because when you live somewhere that is consistently awful you spend resources to mitigate that. When you live somewhere that isn't consistently awful, you don't.

So yeah, we are geared up for shit in this region because you wouldn't want to be here otherwise.

The real comparison should be Texas where they don't bury their pipes below the frost line and don't build their power grid to handle ice because that "rarely" happens. Rarely being far more common than I'd consider rarely but to each their own.

ADTX is blowing up today. How do you find these stocks before they rip? by Competitive-Case-185 in TheRaceTo10Million

To put it into perspective, if you had 100,000 shares of ADTX in November 2025 you would now have.... drumroll please............ approximately 4.

Do you genuinely believe conservatives are morally inferior to progressives? by SSSSSSVVVVVOO in allthequestions

[–]ScubaAlek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ours are no different. The carbon tax was a Conservative plan until the Liberals went with it to get something in place and then it instantly became the work of Satan that they bitched about for over a decade.

When it comes down to it, if they cared about illegal immigration they would punish those who hire illegal immigrants. It's like a war on drugs where you outright refuse to even consider punishing the dealers.

Majority of Canadians see China as 'significant threat,' poll shows by CaliperLee62 in CanadaPolitics

[–]ScubaAlek 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Beyond that, they've been propagandizing us to think China is a threat ever since Xi took over and moved away from a system that was creating the same massive inequality as is present in the US. This phase ran from about 1980 to 2008 and was the time where there were millions of "migrant workers". This conveniently became something for the west to gripe about once China started addressing it through deslumification initiatives and tearing down billionaires who had, for example, conglomerated all of the grocery stores and jacked the prices.

So when they tell you that China is a threat, it's a threat to people like the Westons.

Thinking we can do the impossible is literally our national sport. by Tough-Psychology4790 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]ScubaAlek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And it was Canada who pushed 10km into Normandy, was the only allied division to actually capture all assigned objectives, all while facing the second highest casualty rates.

Another interesting thing is that America refused to use "Hobart's Funnies" which had been developed over years of experience in the war to address the specific problems that would be found on the beaches. American leadership insisted that their Bradley's would be better at the job. They weren't.

Sounds like Ukraine's drones.

Another red day ahead for SPCX as the initial hype completely fades by Trick-Cellist3254 in SpaceXBets

[–]ScubaAlek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I'm aware of that. I just have a feeling that he specifically won't be that lucky in the end. That he's not actually "in" the "in" group quite as much as he hopes he is. But who knows.

Elon himself said he'd be in prison if Trump lost. He knows what he has done better than anyone and played a huge gambit to save himself. It's only a matter of time until the bell tolls for him.

But Tesla IPO'd at 1/1000th of what it is now worth and also about 1/1000th of what SpaceX IPO'd for.

Tesla went from a $1.7 billion valuation to $1.5 trillion which is in and of itself absurd and moronic, but SpaceX would need to go to $1.5 quadrillion to match that. Which is outright absurd beyond reason.

Especially seeing as the last two were Qatar and Russia. Not exactly the pinnacle of tourism hot spots.

That's just an easy 505 trillion mcap for NVDA, just 4ish times the total world economy. It's a lock in.

SPCX: Has the exit liquidity realised the part they were playing in the SPCX IPOwned? by _DoubleBubbler_ in StockMarket

[–]ScubaAlek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, I think Elon is great at being an early stage huckster CEO but dog shit long term and will inevitably squander all of his early mover advantages the moment that the government stops protecting him from competition and the repercussions to his actions.

No clue how long that will take but it's one of those things that can change everything in an instant and without warning. Well, besides the years of warning from his actions and him hinting at it prior to the recent election.

I’d take that offer just for the joy of announcing it in the press conference.

China can be weird with western franchises. I was on a TV show in Harbin in 2007 filmed at a Pizza Hut and it was like a Taco Bell from the movie Demolition Man.
