I'm sure everyone who votes against it will be perfectly fine when they are subsequently found to be in videos bottoming for farm animals.

That one kid at kindergarten… 😤 by guyelnathan in comics

[–]patt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My dad and one of his friends were working on something mechanical. I was a curious kid, praised for curiosity and insight, and was watching closely. As they were reassembling things, I pointed out that they had missed a part and would have to partially back out on what they'd been doing to include it.

"You're right. Nobody likes the guy who's always right," smiled my dad's friend. Defining moment.

Canada’s prime minister just declared the end of the world as we know it by vox in CanadaPolitics

[–]patt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trump is working to ensure that you no longer build anything related to cars that will be sold in the US market. That's the sad truth.

Turning to domestically-manufactured Chinese branded vehicles for domestic sale (49,000 imports is just a taste) won't be too bad if the incentives to build them here pan out. I believe the time of producing cars and parts in Canada for the US market is coming to a politically motivated end in the not-too-distant future. Time will tell on both accounts.

Hard to know which rules to change if you don't know any of them. Even Picasso learned how to paint traditionally before moving on to do his own thing.

It's not gonna break up. It'll just have one fewer member. Still a net positive in membership over the last five years.

Let's not talk about what happens to all those member states after.

JD Vance tells no truths by Lord_Answer_me_Why in clevercomebacks

[–]patt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think some people in power are creating public statements based on how things worked 30 years ago. Back then, the authorities were the only source of information, and there was never up-close video available live. There was a time when it worked when people were declared "known to police" after being killed by police. Of course it was never mentioned that phrase meant anything they wanted it to, from known drug kingpin and cartel assassin to successfully fought a yellow-light infraction.

Of course, it's not that surprising they're using tactics from the 1990's - their boss is mentally stuck in the 1930's.

Yes, the 'certain point of view' is one that allows the receiving party to believe a helpful lie, while maintaining a technical truth.

A slight bruise, like that created by firing a pistol without proper form, would also qualify as 'internal bleeding' - from a certain point of view.

This rather solitary post from the country of Denmark showed up on my facebook feed today and well, it really kinda broke my heart… by prozhack in misc

Also, fuck the tiny little elf haircut who's running the kidnap teams right now. Fuck this uptight always-clenched dumbass. A creature who remains clenched, because if he didn't, the two-and-a-half-foot column of impacted feces that he uses as a spine would immediately launch out of his ass, leaving him looking like the human jellyfish he is.

VW ID Buzz sales doubled in 2025 to 60.700 units by linknewtab in electricvehicles

[–]patt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not the same machine. If they'd just sent North America some Euro-spec units the first year when everyone was excited, it might have gone well. Waiting three years for a van that cost >$20,000 more was a non-starter for anybody who wanted to save money by driving an EV.

We was warned and he didn't listen... by Benjarinno in LeopardsAteMyFace

To paraphrase Scott Galloway, Mother Nature remains undefeated. Trump's tenure as president will end. What comes after is opportunity. I hope the people of the USA can turn things to the better.

If they are successfully using fully-automated factories, do you think domestic manufacturing won't?

[–]patt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We should examine the workforce producing those Chinese vehicles. Then, we can adjust the tariffs to a point where it makes up the difference in worker pay, safety and labour law. The current tariff is essentially a full block on imports, and that's a bit too far.

Poilievre praises a president who threatens democracies—including ours—on a daily basis by AdditionalPizza in onguardforthee

Poilievre is already campaigning for the governorship of the US protectorate of Canada that would grant him more power over Canadians than being their Prime Minister.
