mahershalalhashbaz posted:realtalk, if anybody here is seriously considering migration, australia is as good and as safe as anywhere. i moan about it a lot, but it's about as racist as the uk, as uneducated as america and as violent as canada, so as a combination it's one of the better english-speaking destinations. choose the southern end of the country over the north if you can, the north has got it coming. Im offended. Canadians arent violent. We are just unbearable passive aggressive assholes.  Also you unleashed Rupert Murdoch on the world so your sins are just as many.

Furnaceface posted:Im offended. Canadians arent violent. We are just unbearable passive aggressive assholes. i don't like to seriously buy in to culture stereotypes, but i youtube randomly suggested a curling video on youtube involving two canadian teams dealing with a close call, and it was the most affable encounter between two teams i've ever seen, let alone over a close call BigRed0427 posted:Its times like this where I wish we still had a safe place to dunk on tankies i was worried the situation was going to get worse, but i don't see how anyone can take pleasure in having those kinds of fears vindicated. i think the steady descent into a bleaker and bleaker world has really been what's sapped most of my interest in caring about posting, it just seems so hollow now

GhostofJohnMuir posted:dealing with the construction debris is honestly one of the harder parts of the whole operation. we can't leave it in place as habitat because the rivers here aren't very large and the material from the dam would basically smother it. so theocratically the concrete and metal goes to construction recycling and all the silt that's filled in behind the dam goes to replenish the local downstream beaches which have been eroding away because all the silt is trapped up stream. but getting permission to move everything in massive truck convoys, dealing with potential contamination from people illegally dumping hazardous materials, it all limits what can be done and means a mountain of paperwork. i'm glad i'm not at the stage where i'm making the big calls and dealing with those kinds of issues, dealing with the smaller issues around the margins is fine with me every time i think about what industrial construction has wrought upon the earth i want to scream

mahershalalhashbaz posted:that was my point! city australians are unbearable passive aggressive assholes but they're far less likely to shoot you over a minor altercation than americans. the (white) people in the country are terrifying, but i'm sure (white) backwoods canadians are pretty dangerous too. Canada is weird because our population is so spread out. Some of our backwoods folks are die hard NDP (our leftmost party) voters and those regions are a stronghold for the party. Move 2 provinces over and the backwoods folks are racist Evangelical lunatics that invade the capital and poop all over the street.

as i understand it, zelensky started out on tv playing an everyday guy who accidentally becomes president, so the ukrainian people elected him president irl, and one of his main advisors is the guy who used to write his tv scripts

Pirate Radar posted:We’re in the phase where everybody wants to talk but nobody has anything worth saying yet strongly disagree, i think this conflict has a lot of stuff to reflect on for the IC because most of the stuff that was forecasted has been extremely correct so far, a rare victory for us intelligence. i've been walking through all this in the slack and so far the main thing i got wrong was i thought this would start at 4-5 am on the 22nd not the 24th mahershalalhashbaz posted:oh no definitely not. i feel sympathy for zelensky, he is going to go down in history as a tragicomic figure i feel bad for the dude especially if the russians hang or poison him

yeah, us intel was surprisingly on point, including calling specific provocations. didn’t matter in the end, but no amount of caution would turn putin into a human at this point
