It's not that Trump is going annex Canada. It's just that at the rate Canada's crashing, it's naturally going to happen. You think the housing crisis in the US is bad? The crisis in Canada is 3x worse. Rent in Montreal far and away outpaces New York and New Jersey, two of the most notoriously expensive states in the country.
There's a real estate agent that literally compares Canadian real estate prices for meth houses and should-be-condemned slums to European Castles, Italian Villas, and literal Private Islands on Youtube / that Chinese Vine knockoff.


Here's one where he briefly discusses a house that has been converted into a mini-bugman hive -- 8 small apartments in a... 2 story? 3? townhouse, presumably for Jeets to live in.


A lot of these he points out the stupid real estate scams going on. Like everyone's stuck in this "equity" bubble where they spend 500k to make 100k (and if you would instead say, invest the 500k while renting at 1/3rd the cost to buy in this market, every realtor online will scream at you until they're blue in the face at how that's bad), or how they're intentionally making it impossible to make new houses or what have you because the landowners WANT the housing crisis to continue (because if it stops, their property will crash in value).

It's bad. It's very bad. And it's going to keep getting worse until it's physically impossible to continue because no one wants to be the suckers holding the bag when things stop and everything crashes. The housing market is one of the biggest aspects of Canada's economy, supposedly, and when it crashes it's going to take out Canada's entire economy. (And then they'll have to deal with infinity jeets running around.)
 
Nah, I'd love to blame Biden, but the real culprit is investor FOMO and technological illiteracy. Remember back when industry analysts were saying cloud was going to make home computing and on-premise enterprise servers obsolete? There are companies who lost billions and billions making the wrong bets on cloud.

Same thing is happening with AI. Everyone's terrified of missing out. Industry analysts are predicting multi-trillion dollar growth, total destruction of all legacy industry, eradication of whole categories of jobs, and saying stupid shit like, "A single DGX can replace an entire engineering team."

Everyone thinks if they don't invest in GPUs NOW NOW NOW NOW that they are going to DIE. Except it's been a couple years since DGX A100 dropped and set the market on fire, and most AI investments aren't actually paying off.
Fair enough but I suspect some of that money is old USAID teat milk.
high doese of adderal and its similar like of drug produce the EXACT same effect, not saying thats what it is just adding thats what an associate has told me

Adderall and coke are different substances but are both stimulants that do very similar things. Protip: high dosages over long periods of both cause delusions of granduer and psychosis.

It isn't 'their' NOAA. The first word in the acronym is 'National'. It's the nation's service, paid for by American taxpayer dollars. We taxpayers have the right to expect value for money.
These are supposed to be politically-disinterested non-partisan orgs too. Nobody should have a problem purging the partisan activists who have infiltrated them.

Ain't no hurricane ever call me a Nazi!
 
anyone got a link to this not state of the union? cant find it on youtube
 
What he do 👀
Hasan called for the murder of a Florida senator live on air. This is after he tweeted the instructions on how to make the homemade gun that killed Abe in response to IIRC the same senator. He's also had multiple Islamic terrorists on his show, and said that Jewish babies are valid targets for terrorist bombings. Standard Hasan bullshit from Buffalo Jr.

It's a temp ban, apparently, based on the error message? Hasan is fucking furious however as he doesn't believe he did anything wrong (he's already trying to gaslight claiming he was saying "death penalty" not murder) -- this is standard Hasan bullshit tricks, supposedly, whenever he's called out he gaslights and does whatever he can to obfuscate and spread bullshit about things. Since the CEO of twitch is his personal friend, and the ban was... around noon? I'm guessing someone at Twitch HQ got to explain why Hasan's allowed to say that sort of thing on Twitch to a Secret Service or FBI agent who stopped by the office this morning.

He's also super pissed the "alt-right" like Tim Pool, Asmangold, The Quartering, etc didn't go to bat to defend his free speech rights. Hasan has repeatedly used his audience to harass other streamers including mass flagging attacks, so most of them are of the opinion that he should go sit on a Christmas Tree and spin.

The only good thing is if it's a flat out 30 day ban it royally fucks Hasan, as anyone who was subbed would have to manually go to his page and re-sub. Most people don't do that. A 3 day ban is rough (any renewals on those 3 days fail), a 7 day ban is basically 25% of your monthly income vanishing and you have to re-build it, a 30 day ban would drop your income to 0, and you'd have to rebuild.

It's almost definitely a 3 day ban that will be removed after 2 days and some change.
 
24 hours and 60 pages, great
It's now named after Corporal Fred G. Benning, a WWI veteran.
its rather telling how every confederate seems to have some grandkid who loved america so much they proudly served meanwhile not a single piece of shit whining about the confederates will have grandchildren that will love this country enough to serve in the military, hell 99% of the people whining about the confederacy didn't even have grandparents that were US citizens.

Even if they're not related, it really goes to show everyone knows "classic" american names vs the names of liberals

Of course his stupid ass would try to deflect. And only a temp banned?? People get perma banned for so much less.
 
The Soviets were fucking evil and trying to whitewash them is disgusting. There is a reason people built literal hot air balloons to hop that fence.
No disagreement regarding the Soviets being evil but East Germany (and more specifically, Eric Honecker) was much more stubbornly Stalinist relative to most of the Eastern Bloc, including the USSR that had liberalized in many ways under Khrushchev. I think the German mentality is generally just broken towards arrogant totalitarianism and the current trend in German politics is just returning to the mean.
