Wait, so are we or are we not sacking the ME this time?

I just read that Wikipedia page. Someone’s already changed it to 4500.

No citation and nothing in the body that supports an actual number like that.

Someone is playing games. I would not consider that page particularly reliable, at the moment.

Edit: I didn’t see any edit log for the number change, so maybe the poster changed it just for his comment and the math. However, still no actual citation supporting either number.

You are correct.

Mine are barely in the double digits but they still retain some of their old taste.

However, I am not so sure I should be proud that my 11 and 13 year old’s first choice, when they ride shotgun, is Eminem.

Dodger dogs are the biggest hypocrites. They’ll say they don’t use mustard but then hide ketchup in the bun and blame their translator when they get caught.

They also cheat and then whine about other hotdogs cheating, and then continue to blame them for their own failures, even years after the fact.

Oh wait, I guess that last part is New York dogs too.

Only people from Chicago give a shit about what other people put on their hot dogs.

New Yorkers don’t give a shit.

Ok, full props to Zelenskyy. He is certainly doing a better job than any current leaders I can think of and he should have been able to count on the U.S. for full support. I would even support deploying our own troops.

But better than any leader the U.S. has had for 100 years? That’s quite the suck up. You can respect and support without being a blatant kiss ass. It’s embarrassing for you and for him.

I am definitely not going to argue against the U.S. being a turd bucket.

I’m just saying China is the pot calling the kettle black.

For the next four years, absolutely keep us at arms length and don’t trust us.

China has been untrustworthy for decades and has zero impetus for change.

Meanwhile, my cats have probably already agreed on how to divvy up my corpse.

You should come. Just bring a couple hundred thousand well armed friends and annex New England, New York, and Pennsylvania They won’t complain, except the white trash in upstate NY, just throw some meth on their direction, that’ll shut them up, but feel free to avoid Jersey, unless you’ve gotten your shots.

And now you are practically in mortar range of the White House.

I’m not saying US good, China bad.

I’m saying you have to be pretty dumb to think China has any business talking shit about anyone.

It is this kind of bullshit that got Trump elected.

Y’all are either a bunch of trolls, paid propagandists, or just really dumb.

I looked it up and you are clearly delusional that this “Northwest Passage” is some kind of major shipping lane or has any real value at all.

It wasn’t even clear of ice until 2009 and is reported to be as shallow as 15’ in many parts.

Keep building this fantasy of yours. It is entertaining.

Any political advesery will take any opportunity, ESPECIALLY China, to make statements like this, because they can. They pretend to take the high road in order score points.

It’s laughable that anyone can even take it at face value. I am serious when I say that Trump was elected because people are so fucking dumb, that they can’t see the emperor has no clothes.

This is the same kind of bullshit political messaging, and it’s outrageous that you can even give China the benefit of the doubt.

I’m not trying to say USA is good, China is bad. I’m saying China has a history of this bullshit, so now you eat it up because they are talking shit about the abomination the U.S. has become.

FYI, saying China has been outspoken against the war is a perfect example.

It doesn’t cost them anything to say it, meanwhile they are happily selling weapons to Russia.

Just like US saying what is happening in Palestine is bad, while dumping armaments be on Israel.

Talk is so cheap, so you have to look at actions and China’s actions are about as bad as they come.

How is this whataboutism? You just picked some random buzzword to come back at me?

Man I thought Lemmy would be different but there is no real dialogue, just garbage vomited into comments

If Dems rally behind him, then they really didn’t learn a damn thing.

China has no fucking leg to stand on.

Anyone who can’t see the hypocrisy, then you are just like the idiots that voted for Trump.

So First Nations are treated fair and equitably in Canada?

The Northwest passage?!??

Now I know you are just trolling.

That’s when you are supposed to use Mr_Mofu’s technique!

A LOT to unpack here:

A. The U.S. government is broke!? That is one of the dumbest takes I’ve seen in a while. Makes it difficult to take any other part of your post seriously.

Currently run by fascist morons that my fellow fascist citizens elected, yes. Broke, not fucking remotely true.

B. No one takes it seriously that he is going to somehow magically take over Canada. He says that shit because he is either so stupid, he actually believes he can, or is just saying it to get under Canadian’s skin. (Probably both).

C. “Canada’s strategically advantageous geographical location.”. What strategic importance does Canada’s location have? We already have Alaska. Is there some secret shipping lanes, or laser polar bears we don’t know about?

Resources? Your shale sands oil sucks and has to be piped to the US anyway, to be processed.

You have a lot of wood I guess? We have a TON of resources here, it’s just been cheaper to mine elsewhere because environmental law, makes it pretty expensive to exploit. He’s in the process of gutting those.

Canada just needs to keep doing what it is doing and tell us to fuck off. (Kind of like what we both do to our indigenous populations.)

He’ll eventually drive our economy into the dirt, and fuck over the dumbass blue color voters (that he supposedly champions), and maybe, just maybe, the Democrats will get behind a true progressive instead of a Susan Collins, Hillary Clinton type cunt.

I was going to say, I always had my e-brake on when I parked my car and so I always started the car with it on.

Does he mean slowly let off the clutch while releasing the e-brake? Does he put on his e-brake if he stops on a hill, in traffic too!
