Probably. I admittedly stopped caring about getting the names for Musk's products right after it became clear that his ideas were all shit. Not gonna call Twitter "X" either.

Well, nobody claimed they'd be a moon power, too.

You simply cannot have checked bags. If you're traveling for less than a week and don't need large liquids, this is usually pretty easy to do. You can have a wheely carry-on and a backpack as your personal item, which gives you a ton of storage. I don't need checked bags for the vast majority of travel I do and prefer to avoid it by all means possible, as it just slows me down and has the potential for the airline to lose my bag.

While I know they're past the point of it being feasible to reboot, it always surprised me that they didn't at least try to go the Star Trek approach of just starting a new show with a new cast in the same universe.

Education isn't a requirement to vote, so doesn't make sense to play a part in age restricting voting. A now-30 year old who dropped out of high school at a young age is allowed to vote.

You don't have to imagine because in Canada and the US, that's exactly what happened with trains. Now the two countries are extremely car dependent and barely have any trains, despite the fact that trains are really great.

And for a very recent example, there's Elon Musk trying to prevent high speed rail with his incredibly dumb hyperloop or whatever they're calling it. The freaking tunnel for cars that tries to poorly emulate a subway.

"What if climate change is a lie and we accidentally make the world a better place for nothing?"

The "not vegan" scene is one of the funniest scenes of all time.

I wonder why Dbrand would even offer? That's pretty messed up and certainly makes me think less of them.

That's great. Good for them. Personally, I'm a lot more amenable to supporting Cuba. While certainly still deeply imperfect, I see Cuba as largely the victim of American bullshit sanctions.

But the fact that Cuba is better doesn't change the fact that tankies regularly support China specifically. If you support two things, with one being good and one being bad, you're still supporting a bad thing. So I don't think your comment justifies support for China.

I think it also depends a lot on visiting versus living there. I'm also Canadian and the US is generally great to visit. There's some states I don't trust anymore nor want to give my money anyway, but the progressive states are great and for a large part, American culture doesn't really feel all that different from Canadian culture, especially as a non resident.

They are considerably higher crime, though, and the way they approach guns just makes me extremely uncomfortable. I've never seen places like convenience stores be as locked down in any Canadian city I've been to compared to many American cities I've been to. I had a long distance relationship with someone who lived in Atlanta and wow does Atlanta feel unsafe compared to really any Canadian city (and I lived in Saskatoon for years, which is one of the highest crime Canadian cities).

But as a resident? Ehhhh. I'd never want to live in the US, even though the opportunity has come up and I'd make so much more money if I did. Their politics can largely be ignored as a visitor, but as a resident, they'd actually matter a lot more. And their health care system is batshit crazy. Canadian health care has a lot of problems, but I wouldn't wish the American system on my worst enemy.

Americans are utterly obsessed with their constitution. They treat it like a holy book, despite (and perhaps sometimes because of) the fact that it's pretty much impossible to convince enough people to change these days, despite it also needing changes.
