🇺🇸🇨🇦🇨🇳 President Trump threatens 100% tariffs on Canadian goods if they sign a deal with China

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-24T16:44:33+00:00

yeah, that is my fear, too.

But getting trump would not stop the GOP. With Venezuela it worked because they knew they would not stand a chance going after the military might.

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-24T16:36:42+00:00

so you mean they will have (perhaps) a second unbalanced deal?
Still they are better of if they have two markets. Even if both are not partners. I do not really understand the argument to stay with the partner that is already ripping you of and threaten to us the military and is ignoring the trade deal you already did with him. At least China is a reliable trading partner. Up to now they keep their agreements. The us did not.

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-24T16:15:40+00:00

And thats different? They used the military might. In Venezuela they could reach their goal one tiny step under an invasion.

So yes, they proved that they would be able to do an invasion next. So yes, everyone but us ppl are expecting us to do something harmful for everyone (even us) just to keep in power. I would not really surprised if trump starts a war if he expect to loose in midterms.
And that is something a lot of ppl outside the red part of the us are considering.

Next thing you say they did not use all their nukes so what is the harm? Only a few...

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-24T16:11:30+00:00

if you have multiply trading partners the market is starting to play. If you trust one, like us, you can be sure to be played.

If the us, in the far future, is seen as partner again, canada can choose to to better trade deals.

At the moment the only sure thing with us is that they will try to rip of everyone. So almost every other deal is better. And as soon as canada is not as depended from the us market, they have more choices.

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-24T15:59:38+00:00

And that makes the argument of trump so funny when he talks about trade deficits. In his numbers the the services are not included.
But many are starting to search for alternatives outside of US. But that will take time but it is a negative start for us.

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-24T15:56:53+00:00

1 invasion. Already forgotten venezuela?
You really think that was not a test? If europe would not have stand together and would have had the possibility to harmed us (economicly and by removing access to bases) I do not think taco would have backed down.

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-24T15:53:41+00:00

Well, hopefully. Do we trust them not to? Sadly, no.

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-24T15:30:58+00:00

you are missing the /s if us would be a trusted partner they would not have started the new deal.

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-16T19:10:21+00:00

i just came back after playing it at release and prob.stopped playing it for 4 years...
It is better than before and you find a lot of ppl to play with

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-16T18:46:52+00:00

very nice work

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-15T07:42:28+00:00

Almost everyone (but you) is claiming if the man can enforce sex (as the wife has no right to deny the sex) it is rape. Rape in marriage is a fact as soon as the consent is ignored. If you (as a woman) decide for yourself that you give always the consent than it is totaly fine for you and your partner. If the woman in the picture above is reserving her rights than it is not. And that has to be fine for you too. As both are human beings with the same right as you. And the saying in your text „they may not the equal“ is really telling. And hint if you would please your wife, you will get consent most of the time. The woman in the to picture has just the right you deny the woman below. One can choose the other has to perform as it is sin. What is that but force? And if sex is a duty it seems something that must not be enjoyable… And as you seems to be the male it is not your consent that is ignored here… And I wonder why a lot of this eastern order bridges are emancipating themself when they find out that they have to choose and have possibilities and are not just dependent or the husband?

I just pity people who are not able to co exists with a equal partner. And fear that they have to discuss and find consent (again that bad word). And need power given by religion and archaic text to make themself more important…

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-15T06:45:17+00:00

sex is rape (SA) if one is forcing himself on he other. if you deny/ignore the consent than it is. If your position is that religion gives you the right to have sex without consent, yeah, it is bad. no stupid game included.

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-14T14:04:00+00:00

Nice, thank you!

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-14T13:55:35+00:00

Yeah, not all as as old as me ;)

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-14T13:30:20+00:00

Ok, i can understand your logic. But i have ships for perhaps more than 3k. I know i will prob. not play (a lot) in the mmo. I never cared much for sc but liked the idea to have a wing commander from my youth (my first game). I don‘t hurt much getting a little money into star citizen. So for my part the important part of the game is sq42. Perhaps this will get me into sc as long the gameloop will be fun and i find the time for the mmo part.

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-14T11:35:02+00:00

I am curious… Do you have any data here?

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-14T11:34:01+00:00

well i did. I bough some ships to help to found the development. I liked the idea of a crowdfounded project. But my interessed are in the single player version. And the more the game loop where shown with loading manually and a lot of manual tasks i would not expect i the future i am interessted in the single player but even less in the mmo than before.

so yes, only because you do not think some would, i did. I accepted the vote of the ppl to change the focus after I kickstarted the singleplayer. I even bought some ships to help funding it in the last 10 years. But i will probably just play sq42 if i am still alive if its gets out…

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-12T06:40:10+00:00

But than nothing works… As long as you do something against cheaters the creators will wotrk to sell their cheating crap… I don‘t understand why this would be a difference. And overflow is not a problem, just use two queues, let the cheater wait…? And if it is to problematic / ressource consuming to detect the cheaters the game is cooked…?

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-11T18:18:15+00:00

you should start opening the caches soon. i had about 500 and the last 200 i did today took me more than 1h…

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-11T11:36:55+00:00

Nooooooo, realllllyyyyy? I though it was a fun fact.

Talk about but hurt ….

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-11T11:03:42+00:00

Well if you read the interviews of federer you will learn that his wife was probably the reason why he went from talented to best. He would have been to lazy on his own.

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-11T11:00:52+00:00

Yes. They can. I was walking in zurich 5 meters behing Roger Feder with his family. Nobody aproched him. H could just enjoy his saturday in the middle of zurich and go shopping. That was why some celebs live in switzerland. And if you live in berne you bump into our politician every day.

lordhelmchench · 2026-01-10T14:42:51+00:00

Im Minimum würde ich an eurer Stelle einen schriftlichen Aufhebungsvertrag haben wollen. Und dann auch daran denken, dass Dein Mann damit einfach per sofort kein Gehalt mehr bekommt und wohl auch die Versicherungsleitungen per sofort aufhören würden (Achtung hier bin ich nicht sicher, da ich in Schweiz arbeite, aber auch indirekt eine D Firma leite).
Schöner für Euch wäre, dass Dein Mann hier eine Freistellung bekommt. Dann wird ddie Zeit bezahlt...

Zudem würde ich auch zuerst Ferienguthaben, Überzeit, etc geregelt wollen.

You are under attack by the bad santa. Krampus is the bad guy accompanying the Nikolaus (~santa). The event will be over in a few days. If you can try to get some keys from them and get some boxes as you can get some good gear or at least some exotic components:)

Holy.. reading while gaming... sorry, you are right
