To be honest I’ve never really been a Ford guy, but I do think they’re a pretty good looking truck.

The Negotiations:

RUS: “Stop defending your land and we will stop shooting at you.”

UKR: “Uh… No.”

RUS: 😮

That’s my point. Violence and terrorism happen all over the world, it’s mainly just in the States that you can go full Rambo with little effort.

To be fair this kind of dumb shit can happen anywhere… it’s just a little easier in the US when guns are more popular and easy to get as candy.

Yup, similar to how one small “city” near me had their stats skewed to look worse than Winnipeg for awhile (the murder capitol of Canada and my hometown) because of one single murder.

I wish I still had it, but a divorce about 15-20 yrs ago took care of that. I loved it, 1950’s bungalow style house, 2 car garage, small(30ft) barn and a bunch of sheds, nicely treed in.

looking through realtors right now, and spec wise the cheapest thing I can find around here similar to it is up for $389,000 but only has 10 acres.

Prices are/were cheap here because I’m like an hour and a half away from the city.

My first house in 1999 was an older 4 bdrm on 14 acres of land for $50 grand. There were a lot of homes in the 30-40 grand range but lesser yards.

Now those same houses when they go up for sale are selling for 200-250k easily. (My place would be worth more than that… “hobby farms” like what I are selling for even 300-500k here now.)

I think it falls under Canada’s Competition Act. https://competition-bureau.canada.ca/en/deceptive-marketing-practices/types-deceptive-marketing-practices/false-or-misleading-representations-and-deceptive-marketing-practices

Where’s the dept of government efficiency when you need them?

Oh right, They’re too busy defunding vital services, axing accountability positions, and collecting citizen’s data.

DISinformation. The difference is misinformation can be accidental or unintended (think misunderstanding), Disinformation is 100% done on purpose to deceive.

But yes, we can’t fix anything if half the population is living in a fake reality.

I know it’s just anecdotal but as a person who has paid a lot of attention to the weather most of my adult life, shit’s just getting weirder to me every year.

The local normal for where I am (Mb,Canada) is highs of +20c(68f) for this time of year. Tomorrow they’re calling for +35(95f), 34(93f) on mon, +36 (97f) on tues.

That was virtually unheard of to get those temps in May up here 30 or 40 years ago, in fact we rarely hit those kind of temps at any point throughout the entire year, yet now it’s becoming very common. I’ve lived the first 30 years of my life without AC but It’s almost a necessity nowadays if you want to even be remotely comfortable. It is very concerning.

TIL there was a reboot.

I liked the original, was this one good? Or was it just another of those “milk the nostalgia cow” sorta things?

Pope Bob.

One of her staff carries a briefcase full of them at all times. The passcode on the case is 5786 (or “JSTN” in T9word.)

That’s part of the problem. They only heard what their news sources wanted them to hear and they never took it serious enough to look further into anything.

They’re still partially to blame, but constant bombardment of right wing disinfo is a huge factor in all of this.

Ouch! I’m guessing something like those? https://earth.google.com/web/search/Colosseum,+Piazza+del+Colosseo,+Rome,+Metropolitan+City+of+Rome+Capital,+Italy/@41.88982527,12.49215183,24.24652049a,0d,32.21956336y,199.20501311h,92.10494739t,0r/data=CiwiJgokCfyNfWxFlTRAEfmNfWxFlTTAGSflKNVKVEJAIe7Wz0l1Z1DAQgIIASIaChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURodS1uTVhBEAVCAggASg0I____________ARAA

“They have their socialist regime and it’s basically feeding off of America, Why do we make cars in Canada? Why do we do our films in Canada?”

For many of the same reasons you buy your hats and shirts from China, you dumb bastard. You don’t want to buy stuff from elsewhere, yet you still expect other nations buy your shit? Is there not a grown up in the room you can ask about this stuff?
