Honest question: Does anyone know if those tariffs apply retroactively? Say you purchased something a couple weeks ago, but it hasn’t crossed the border yet due to shipping delays, would it get taxed under the old rules? Or does it incur the tariff?
Best joke? He sent it to an agency that has no enforcement authority in Canada. Goes to show how delusional they are, thinking we’re already part of the US
“…calling it “treason,” “an embarrassment” and a “disgrace.”” Yeah, because it is. Fuck these treasonous bastards.
If you love the US that much, how about you migrate there and don’t drag the rest of us kicking and screaming with you?
Thanks for digging that one up. That’s a pretty insane map to look at honestly. Just about everyone in BC either lives on, or near, a fault line. That really helps put the level of geological activity in the province in perspective.
I’d sure love to see how this will improve the cost of living in the US…
Who am I kidding? It’s not like Trump has a track record of lying and taking people what they want to hear to get them to support him, then immediately stab them in the back.
What we should do imho, as a country, is launch a massive marketing campaign on all major networks in the US and tell people that the financial pain they’re now feeling is all the fault of DC and get them to pursue their representatives to get Trump to undo this madness. It’ll prove far more effective than retaliatory tariffs, because most folks in the US simply aren’t aware of what the government is doing.
Sometimes I wonder what the alternative universe where JT inherited his dad’s spine would look like.
I refuse to believe that tweet is real on principal, but it’s just tone deaf enough to have me question whether this might have actually been shat out by a corporate marketing team as part of some greenwashing effort.
If this is someone memeing however: Kudos, this one is very convincing despite being wildly ridiculous.
“Would you like your evil done in the traditional overt bombs-dropped-on-children fashion, or the new we’ll-sell-your-entire-life-to-the-highest-bidder-while-feeding-you-non-stop-lies-to-establish-a-fascist-regime style, sir?”
This guy: Bomb some kids, at least it’s a spectacle.
(Edit for clarification: I think both are bad, and one has a strong causal relationship with the other but I am not sure I would pick Raytheon personally. It’s a bit too overtly evil for my tastes)
In the “Beaverton headlines I wish were real” category, I present the January 2025 winner.
They also laid off folks with H1Bs. No, I suspect the real story here is that someone somewhere got convinced these jobs could be done even cheaper by AI, so they’re cutting folks to fund the datacenters basically.
Yeah, everyone always brings up the Wii U but the whole “New” 3DS situation was even less clear if you ask me
This dude also got Doom to run in a PDF FYI. Pretty insane level of scripting support for a supposedly static document format.
When there was bird flu in it less than a month ago?
The most surprising thing in this whole saga is that Gretzky is apparently fine with Canada being a US state? Like what?
Exactly why I commented that. :-)
I am begging for a change to our voting system at this point almost as much as I am begging for people to actually read the election programmes. Look past the face on the TV, learn what they actually stand for folks!
Thanks! I’ll give it a go once the backlog gets cleared out a bit.
This is so high on my “should play list” and yes I haven’t gotten around to it. Is it truly as good as folks say? What are your experiences with it having played the original?
Ticket to Ride
He already did. Tariffs are an act of war, especially when overtly related to annexation goals (as is the case here).
