Hey, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Using a new account since my main one for KF I'd prefer to keep WELL away from his work but. Well, On Sunday my dad @Gehenna passed away. He had been having heart issues for a while and he took a bad turn over the weekend. he had, rather playfully, mentioned the "Nutters and secret geniuses" in the thread and had fondly mentioned a few of you guys by username. So I thought to tell you all who held a special place in his jaded heart.

RIP Gehenna. Near the end of the Orange Mans first term, He was what brought me, and kept me coming back to this godforsaken subforum in the first place and was a big part of what made it the #1 place for political news. Never going to be another like him. He was my ONLY Mastodon friend for the like... 5 minutes we all tried that out.
you will be missed.

or can Egyptians not be trusted with much more than a canoe and this is nothing?
You don't need Mossad to sink an Arab submarine. All you need is Arabs operating it. You'd have to be retarded to willingly get into an operating submarine for fun, especially a commercial Arab submarine.

He's the only profile I ever followed on this site. He was a great part of the thread, especially around 2020-2021.
 
Canada's fallback will be something like allying with the Chinese. Just wait for it.

And then the United States will have a legitimate reason to declare war.

I do have to ask how Canada will do business with China. The country has exactly 3 ports capable of dealing with large scale container style ships. That's not alot of capability to move the large volumes required.

Canada moves most of it's good to the US by rail and road and if your suggesting that Canada just built more ports I can only laugh. Most of Canadas transportation infrastructure is over 60 years old at this point so actually doing something other then bitch and moan is quite beyond them.
 
Why do boomers hate NFL touchdown celebrations?

This is just me, but personally I find it annoying to see a nigger showboat after making a touchdown. I get it. You just made millions upon millions of dollars to catch a piece of pigskin and run it from point A to point B and now you feel like dancing like a feral ape to celebrate. I guess I should take solace that the nigger is choosing excessive celebration in sports as opposed to typical nigger activities such as raping and/or looting, but whatever. Hell, it's not like they're doing it out of love for the game. It's just niggers dunking on niggers for the sake of acting like niggers. The only reason they don't escalate to violence is they don't want to pay the NFL fines.

I might be biased though. I can't stand watching any form of nigger ball.
 
He's actually responded on twitter directly to a few of the notable right leaning people and may have been @JohnWinthrop9, a quality poster who went protected the same time Vance was running for senate.
Fun fact, the @JohnWinthrop9 account has been protected for nearly 5 years at this point and hasn't posted since then, but it is monitored, does approve new follows and does seem to follow back cool people.
 
Will Roberts and ACB cuck? Probably. I bet they will find and excuse to rule in the gangsters favor on some obscure legal grounds. Roberts would see America filled to the brim with criminals and drug dealers then have the power of the judiciary diminished in any way.
I’ll never understand why he picked such a shitty judge as ACB in the first place. I get that he wanted a woman to replace Ginsberg for the optics, but he picked such a terrible Rino
 
That means it's less an America problem and more a Canada problem.
You're missing the point, if you make raw materials (unprocessed crude oil) cost more (tariffs), the final product (gasoline) is going to cost more wherever it's sold (America). Tariffs on Canadian oil will increase the price at the pump. The signs are correct.

But they miss the point, I imagine. Burgerclaps would pay double for gas if it meant Canada got a kick in the ass.
 
The CEO of NPR had a real real real bad day in front of the Congressional Hearing today.

She pretty much openly lied about...well everything and got caught red handed on it. Really very stupid of her to not think the GoP wouldn't check her Tweets and have them on hand to hang her with.

"Madam CEO have you ever read "The Case for Reparations?"

"Mr Chairman no I have not"

"Hmm how do you explain your tweet on Jan 21 2022 that read you are taking the day off to fully read and appreciate a book called the case for reparations because it's a necessary topic of discussion?"

"....silence"

She is getting roasted alive the dumbass woke cunt. My biggest question is how did the Right lose control to such a group of fucking useless, vapid, mindless cunts? Really some of these "leaders of tomorrow" are so stupid they should be in a group home. This female is running NPR right into the ground and getting paid 200K a year for it.

Put that cunt in jail! She lied while testifying to Congress--like 5 times in 45 seconds.
lmao, she could get decades for this and absolutely should.

I just keep coming back to this post and reading it word for word back to myself. You are a very strong and kind individual to share such painful information with relative strangers at a time when I imagine your whole world feels like its shaking.

Never fails to blow me away how much heart the farms has at its core, I remember how shocked I was to hear people actually cared when I reported I was safe following a bad natural disaster, for all the vitriol and shit talking when the chips are down kiwis have enormous emotional capacity for fellow kiwis.

This is like the "bee defies all know laws of aviation" we are smarter and more focused than 4chan yet competently devoid of the true nihilism that defines them and by sites like us. im really getting into the weeds but I just cant get over remembering a very old friend I had in World of Warcraft who crash an ingame funeral on a PVP server, there was so many posts on the wow fourms about it and the guild he was in suffered alot of punishment but in the end the main argument was over if its right for the company to punish such actions on a pvp server,

The incident stuck with me because, I thought at the time as a much younger man, that when you die it dosent matter what happens after, you are dead. World wasent slow to smack me with the reality of how death isent about the person thats leaving but the part of all the people they touched that has now and forever been transformed from a dyanamic and joyful connection into a memory, a shrine, a snapshot of what once was and will never be again. When you lose someone that matters you learn exactly how much of yourself WAS that person and my goodness that is a painful process.

All that to say I realized how telling it is, when your on a medium like a fourm or MMO, to have empathy for your fellow man, it shows that lacking outside rewards or gratification that there are communitys of people willing to care and empathize simply for the reason of others being in the position of deserving it. Like the emotinal version of the shopping cart problem, on an online fourm or MMO there is nothing stopping you from being absurdly disrepectful to someone at their hardest moments, you are cloaked in anonimity and will suffer no real reprecussions, but its what defines you as a person that with all that in place, we choose to be kind and reach out and do our best to build up and praise our fellow kiwis when their shit hits the fan, not beacuse we have to but beacuse it FEELS right.

I apologize if ive overly used your own tradegy to wax about my own feelings I really was hoping you might share a few of your dads favorite posters so whenever we read from them we think of him by proxy and his legacy will live on even longer
 
These little summer jobs and flipping burgers are fine, but it's offloading all the menial grueling slave labor that Mexicans were paid nothing for off to the American youth and reinforced the idea that some jobs just have to be slave labor. The idea that it's okay to have jobs with shit hours, shit pay, no benefits is retarded. I'm not saying teenagers need perfect jobs, but it's creating that expectation that work needs to be grueling and miserable and dehumanizing so some boomer retard can afford a second condo to rent out and that's just how the system has to work. It goes back to the idea that if the system can't guarantee people decent jobs that they can afford to live on, own a home, support a family, what's the point in supporting the system?

It just doesn't sit right with me, there should be a push for workers to be paid what they're owed and worth instead of the continuing exploitation that the US loves because god forbid we talk about class.
The same assholes who complain that people should get a living wage also fight automation, so I say fuck 'em all.
If you automate away the drudge work, that makes everyone more productive and moves the average human worker closer to executive, intellectual or creative work.
But, again, fuck 'em.
 
Massie runs away from a rabbi.

Bluegrass rabbi is a rabbi in Kentucky that is on the human rights board and has attempted to meet with Massie to discuss state bills that would affect his constituents. Massie denied the meeting and accused the rabbi of being a foreign agent. A few months later, the rabbi was in DC and came across Massie. When he tried to speak to Massie, Massie fled and hit the perfect virgin pose.

No, I know how Tariffs work. I also know that 94% of Alberta's crude goes to America for processing because Alberta has no other choice. We, America, literally have the strong hand in this relationship because Canada Has No Other Choice. We could tell Canada we're not paying more, we can shift production, we can shift who we buy from because people want to sell to America. We are The Import economy. Stopping the flow of Alberta crude would hurt America briefly, it would annihilate the Canadian economy. If a few cents more a gallon puts the arrogant, stuck up, delusional Leafs in their fucking place, then that's a price I'm willing to pay.

America can remain retarded longer than any export economy in the world can remain solvent. Especially one that has, what 70-80% of their exports come to us? America pays a higher price for a time, other country's economies collapse.

There is a slight possibility neither side doesn't really care for the other.
