Why even lump pedos in the same sentence with the gays

That's the new MAGA argument. I was getting in front of it.

They're basically arguing if gay and trans people are born that way, and that's fine, then pedos are born that way so why isn't that fine?

It's a stupid argument because gay and trans people by default exist without victims.

In my opinion there is absolutely nothing wrong with being gay, bi, trans, asexual, etc.

Who wants to bet that the idea of retaliatory tariffs wasn’t gamed out beforehand and they have no strategy?

He has a concept of a strategy.

US companies would pay a total rate of 104% on Chinese imports.

The more money people lose, the more desperate they become. This is going to get interesting. Who goes after Trump first? The ultra rich or the average working class?

I'm Canadian. I support social programs and humanist programs. I support regulation of business so they don't abuse their positions of power over people and to curb their habit of doing bad things in the name of more profit. I'm for taxing those with hordes of cash and giving the struggling worker a break. I support people to have the freedom to be who they want to be (gay, straight, trans, etc) as long as they aren't hurting other people (IE pedos don't get to harm children because they "were born that way" or god said it was cool). I support protecting the land, water and animals. I think Trump is a cunt.

I'm probably pretty left-wing.

30 people along the route of the parade cracking tear gas grenades at the same time would be lovey to see.

This is clearly not worse than J6 and those people are heroes now.

My 11 year old account got banned and I'm not even sure why. I posed a lot over the years. They said I was banned, pointed to a deleted comment. When I asked what the comment said they replied the reviewed the ban and now I'm banned.

I believe it was for a comment about how America would be in trouble if they invaded Canada (I'm Canadian). I stated some basic facts that Canadians look like Americans and they will attack America on American soil. It was matter of fact, not promoting any sort of violence.

Whatever. America is dying. I suppose services hosted on American soil die right along with it. We're actively avoiding as many US products and services as possible, so Reddit can kick rocks.

I discovered Lemmy, it suits my needs and I like it better.

I've been using Thunderbird for email for years. I use it with some SMTP servers on shared hosting platforms, a yahoo account and a few gmail accounts - one with calendars. I don't have any problems with it. Runs stable, doesn't crash or do weird things. My only complaint would be search is a little clunky, but it works.

I had to use Outlook client for year at another job and that client was hot garbage.

Same. 11 year old account got banned for saying something. I'm not even entirely sure what it was. They deleted it and gave me the finger.

Fine with me.

I don't know anyone in Canada still planning trips to the USA. My cousin spends 2-3 months out of the year in California. She's been doing it for 10 years now. She had cancelled all those plans going forward.

There is even more of a risk for Canadians to go to the US. It's always been dangerous in the US with the insane amount of guns in the average idiots hands, but now we've got Ice Bros itching to hurt people as well. Fuck that noise.

The US really doesn't offer us anything we can't get from another safer country.

All the linux stacks I was involved with over the years always had SELinux disabled as part of the base config. I can't think of a single server it was enabled on.

 

Ladies and gentlemen, the dumbest person on the planet, Donald Trump.

 

"The United States has reached out to Denmark..."

You know, the country the United States wants to invade and forcefully take land from.

America: The dumbest rocks in the sock drawer.

 

This is Atlantic Superstore - which I try to avoid because they've seriously raised their prices due to corporate greed.

I do think this is cool but it's probably to ward off complaints of why the thing is now more than 25% more expensive. It will be interesting to see if they use this as an excuse to jack up other prices for items not under a tariff.

It's Superstore, so I expect yes.

 
 

I've been reading a lot of comments lately about people getting banned for really mundane things. Some as much as upvoting a comment.

My 11 year old reddit account got banned. I still don't know exactly what I said but I believe it was for talking about the US invading Canada and how we Canadians would fight back.

I think the funniest thing was getting banned from r/politics for posting two lines from the lyrics of Kidnap the Sandy Claws - a song from a kids movie Nightmare Before Christmas. A KIDS MOVIE!

"Kidnap the Sandy Claws, throw him in a box. Bury him for ninety years, then see if he talks"

I don't even remember the context of posting it, but it was about Santa Claus. You know, a fictional character.

Pathetic.
