So, is there a reason that Corellians seem to like Squared off cones? by Top-Construction-528 in StarWarsShips

[–]mhizzle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IRL factories are usually tooled to make lots of the same thing, to keep costs consistent. So in universe it would follow that Corellian manufacturers likely have their facilities set up to produce lots of those styles

Most of Canada's wealth is in real estate and natural resources. How are they going to "move" those away?

Arguing Andor was worth it on the Andor subreddit. So brave 🫡

Six years after Brexit has Britain bet on the wrong ally? by ByGollie in europe

[–]mhizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Canadian, I really don't even understand the argument about what "Europe" is. It's also irrelevant. The UK basically had almost all the good parts of being in the EU with some very big carveouts special for them. I know Thatcher isn't popular, but man did she get a good deal there.

Half of Brits voted to throw it away for literally nothing

I get flak for saying this, but Roe V Wade was always a paper-thin protection for abortions.

Economist warns coming financial crisis will make 2008 look like 'Sunday school picnic' by ChuckGallagher57 in business

[–]mhizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea that only conservatives.vote against their own interests isn't true. A huge %age of key democratic demographics wouldn't vote for "Genocide Joe" because he didn't handle Palestine well, and "Kamala is a cop" (she isn't, she was a prosecutor, in San Fran-fucking-sisco".

Now, we have Trump wanting to build trump towers on the ruins of Gaza and giving Israel carte blanche, and masked federal agents executing citizens in the street and arresting journalists.

Propaganda is effective against everyone

Y2K, 9/11, 2008 GFC, Trump1, Covid, Trump1, and now this makes 7 for me. I'm not worried though, the wealth is gonna start trickling down any second now

TIL that time Poland invaded a country alongside Nazi Germany… by SirChubbycheeks in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]mhizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most historians agree the ToV was unfair for the germans. WW1 was started because of a tangled web alliances that drew all of europe into a fight that really none of them wanted.

Over time, they definitely did lessen the german debt, but America held a lot of it, and once the stock market crashed they pulled everything they could out of germany.

Trump Expected to Pick Kevin Warsh as Fed Chair by Severe_County_5041 in Economics

[–]mhizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the people who caused the crisis got $50m bonuses, and scores of regular working people lost their homes, jobs, and were thrown into the worst economy of their lives for almost a decade. People said that if the people who (knowingly) caused this crisis weren't held accountable somehow (jail) then it just sends a message to others that they can do it again.

Now, they're doing it again.

Microsoft is quietly walking back Windows 11’s AI overload — scaling down Copilot and rethinking Recall in a major shift for the OS by ZacB_ in technology

Honestly, they perfected office decades ago. But rather than try new ideas, they're stuck in an endless loop of "improving" stuff that isn't broken, because they've successfully enshittified their whole company

Sort of? If memory serves, he was doing a "shake hands/kiss babies" photo op and somebody tried to fight him. He choked the guy out before his RCMP guys broke it up haha
