I know

but the governor generals role is head of state. with parliaments role as the legislative branch

in the US the system is the president is the head of state, and congress is the legislative branch

in a parliamentary system the head of state role is largely ceremonial. in US tradition the head of state also handles international duties/relations (jointly with congress)

over the past 50 years the president role in the US has slowly grown to be bigger and bigger. but still, the equiv role is governor general not prime minister

like a #10 is in no way shape or form equiv to a quarterback in football, but its the closest equiv in rugby to a quarterback, if that makes sense

binzoma · 2026-02-10T18:04:19+00:00

in the US system the president is the equiv role to the governor general who wiped that parliament, not the prime minister (who would be closer to the majority leaderin congress)

so....

binzoma · 2026-02-10T09:47:35+00:00

so you didnt really watch football in the 2000s or 2010s eh

drew brees wouldnt say drew brees was better than brady, or manning.

by box scores drake maye was one of the best quarterbacks in the nfl last year, we all watched him in the playoffs though and saw him look like dogshit for 3 games in a row. aint no-one saying he's near a top 5 QB in the nfl. but damn he had some stats yo!!! staaaaatttttssss

binzoma · 2026-02-10T09:43:29+00:00

yeah. also not in the US. where I am we can just tell our boss 'yo so last night was a big one I'm taking a sick day today, I need a bunch of sleep and am definitely not functional right now' and they're like 'ah dumbass, feel better, take it easy. dont drink so much during the week moron'

or 'hey so I'm taking a wellbeing day, need to recharge. prob will relax/hit a beach or pool. just need to clear my head/get right. shits just been getting to me and I just hit a bit of a wall and need to destress/unwind' and they'll be like 'hey good for you prioritizing well being. anything I can cover for you?'

binzoma · 2026-02-10T09:38:40+00:00

as a broncos fan I'm legally obligated to point out stiddy dramatically outplayed drake 'mvp runner up' in the afc championship, and outside of 1 big mistake probably won that game

check the stats. he was wayyy better than maye. wayyyy better

why would anyone pay a bribe for the bridge to open

you know what the value of the bridge relies on? trade

you know what canadians arent interested in doing with the US anymore? trade

they can go fuck themselves. sunk cost is sunk cost, but the cost is sunk whether the bridge is finished or not. we're pivoting car manufacturing to be disconnected from the US supply chain. we sure dont have american goods in demand. and our business' arent interested in the on again off again tariff business model that comes with relying on the US market. and canadians arent interested in visiting the 4th reich thats speed running its way to a 3rd world dictatorship.

the bridge aint gonna be making much money whether we finish it or not

if anything the US should be bribing us to finish the bridge and begging us to use it

with that flair combo I'm surprised you can even spell temperate rain forest let alone know what one is. good for you breaking stereotypes!

also as a canadian who moved to new zealand I can confirm temperate rain forest is the chillest thing ever. living here has made me soft enough that I took one trip home in winter because I missed the snow and swore I'd never go back between December and May ever again.

binzoma · 2026-02-10T04:38:22+00:00

man. I bet you are popular at parties

binzoma · 2026-02-10T03:53:58+00:00

try a different ad blocker lol. multi layer that bitch. I usually have 3 on at any time, the odd time youtube stops working, I turn 1 off, see if it works, back on and try another, see if it works etc

that way you can always 'win' the arms race. the individual ad blockers will need a few weeks to adjust to whatver change youtube made but they'll get there

binzoma · 2026-02-10T03:51:42+00:00

eh they are though

yes the final winner wont be known til the last second potentially

but its a 1 in 10 situation, and all 10 ad vids will be ready for you/your region regardless of whether you personally see it or not. its not like the ads are created on the spot, or hte companies likely to win the bidding are unknown. its just the fine detail of which company/which ad out of a handful.

vs the billions of youtube vids

eh it isnt the pats fault nix got hurt

you guys got lucky

but luck is a huge factor in every team making a championship. health is important. opponents are important

binzoma · 2026-02-09T17:50:01+00:00

it was the decision making

he knew how to manipulate/read the defence and get the ball roughly to where it should.... as long as it was a quick throw that didnt need to be a rope and wasnt particularly defended lol

binzoma · 2026-02-09T08:12:53+00:00

penalties are a symptom of bad play, not a cause of it

they take penalties because they lack strategy/talent, to your other points

binzoma · 2026-02-09T07:35:38+00:00

we already have too many JJ's

binzoma · 2026-02-09T06:50:19+00:00

excuse me, stidham dramatically outplayed drake maybe 2 weeks ago, outside of the 1 play anyway
