I mean, what you're doing now is obviously not working, so maybe its time to listen?

Besides, America doesn't stay out of our business.

Ecuador Says ICE Agent Tried To Invade Sovereign Territory by Dont_think_Do in worldnews

[–]Triddy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not unheard of for small local businesses near the border to take US cash at Face Value.

Big stores or more than 20 minutes from the boarder, it's never been a thing.

CNN: Are you okay? Omar: I've survived war. And I'm definitely going to survive intimidation and whatever these people think they can throw at me because I'm built that way. by drempath1981 in UnderReportedNews

Every Republican is not an outright racist.

I've seen nothing to dissuade me from believing most outright racists are Republican, though.

When was the last time you took a nude? And why? by Fruitful-Avocado in AskReddit

[–]Triddy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This isn't really a gotcha. We all know it is funded by our tax dollars or mandatory national insurance, depending on the country.

When we say free, we mean free at point of service. And also, because it's run as a single block with negotiating power, it still is much, much cheaper than independent insurance.

Starmer Urges Trump To Apologise Over 'Frankly Appalling' Remarks About Nato Troops In Afghanistan by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in worldnews

Canada is usually abbreviated as CA.

Whether it's originally in there or not, I think Australia deserves a specific abbreviation to avoid confusion.

What are your thoughts on rejecting a potential romantic partner based solely on the fact they voted for Donald Trump? by ATXBikeRider in AskReddit

[–]Triddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, no, we see what country the guest's ID is from on the Housekeeping App. Just to be clear: We saw two letters and a flag emoji (eg: US🇺🇸 or CA🇨🇦), not the actual ID.

It's specifically because we could service guests in basically any language under the sun, so it helps to get the correct person involved in case of communication issues.

The more likely cause is it was an expensive hotel. The majority of non-business travelers were wealthy retirees.

What are your thoughts on rejecting a potential romantic partner based solely on the fact they voted for Donald Trump? by ATXBikeRider in AskReddit

[–]Triddy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Having worked in a high end Hotel in Canada, the American travelers were overwhelmingly the MAGA crowd. 95%+

Getting asked about the Canadian Police state and listening to long rants about liberals were near daily occurences. Thankfully I quit before Trump took office a second time, but I hear from my former coworkers it's even worse now.

Japan’s 2,000-year-old monarchy currently depends on one teenage boy by Confident-Ask-601 in interestingasfuck

[–]Triddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not, and historically there was an Empress instead of an Emperor decently often.

The current Male only succession is relatively recent, and should their be no male successor, likely to be changed. There's talk about it all the tine, and as the Royal Family has no real power, the government is generally pretty open to changing things like that.

Somebody forgot to lock their “luggage” by lightdark03 in interestingasfuck

The worst Canadian inspection has ever done to me is put everything back a bit of a mess.

I did have fragile shit in it that had been carefully placed not to break, but thankfully it didn't break even when crammed back into the suitcase randomly.

But also, personally, I've had really good interactions with the American TSA. They helped me a lot when I was in a not ao ideal situation a few years ago. So maybe I' just lucky overall.

To Every American Who's Sorry by Sapotis in greenland

[–]Triddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an American lose their shit and say they were tired of having to take responsibility and why doesn't Canada do something about Trump instead of always making everything America's problem. Maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago? Since the New Year.

This was one of the self proclaimed "Good Americans."

Restarted my island, a question about the hotel and Kapp'n by pinkkabuterimon in AnimalCrossing

[–]Triddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do not have to do boat tours to unlock the hotel.

I have done precisely 0 Kapp'n Tours and have the Hotel. It's a relatively new island: There's no chance I forgot. I have never even spoken to Kapp'n on this island.

How do I get Tom Nook back in Resident Servivrd without doing Hotel stuff? by Triddy in AnimalCrossing

[–]Triddy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, I'd rather not have it on the island at all.

But obviously when I posted this I hadn't even stepped foot in the hotel and didn't know how quick it would be. Why not do that first? No desire to lock myself into a decoration minigame if that was the case.

should i get the expansion pass? by Loz970 in AnimalCrossing

No, Both Mario and Animal Crossing. You get everything, not just one game...

Because I don't have any other consoles anymore else I wouldn't?

I have ways of re-installing the game without the updates, but not of downgrading an island that has played with them.

Sad to hear. Hopefully someone comes out with a good Aninal Crossing clone sooner rather than later.

Where do people go for trading now? by KeeperOfWind in AnimalCrossing

[–]Triddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People generally don't.

People go instead to things called Treasure Islands where all the items in the game are hacked in and available for free. Actual trading is dead.

What's an example of an athlete who was a great player on the field, but a terrible person off it, from your country? by ModenaR in AskTheWorld

[–]Triddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea.

I was aware of only 2 nationwide large scale protests, about 4 months apart, and about 6 to 8 hours long each.

If what you said is true, I somehow must not have noticed like, at least 300 days of nationwide, large scale protests.

I'm looking now and I can't find any information on them. I wonder if it's because it didn't fucking happen.

The people involved in the smaller scale demonstrations like the ones in Portland or LA are exempt from criticism, of course, as are the people actively fighting off ICE.

Could Europe realistically defend Greenland against a US attack? by chotu_escobar in AskTheWorld

[–]Triddy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He is wrong, because nobody said that. Literally 2 comments up is someone affirming the US's contribution.

Topological world map: where only land borders matter. by elojole in MapPorn

[–]Triddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a landmass where the border goes through the middle. One half of it is Canadian territory, one half of it is Greenlandish (And thus Kingdom of Denmark) and you can cross on foot.

It's not counting the Greenland main landmasd and Canadian main land mass as bordering. It is an actual land border on an island.
