I’m not a conservative and I agree with you.

Does this mean I can finally get a prehensile tail!

How many of those 200 applications did you deliberately install? That seems excessive even for all of those use cases.

And can you elaborate on these use cases, like I’m not sure why you would want a specific VM for bash scripting.

The best part of a rollercoaster ride is the steep descent. 🎢

I’m suggesting moving the border due north along the Detroit river. This would result in over 9000 square kilometres of land being ceded to Canada (including most of Detroit and many of the automotive factories). The beauty of this proposal is that it would have support from loads of MAGA folks because they’re likely geographically illiterate.

Edit: to be crystal clear, I’m not suggesting ceding any Canadian territory.

Facebook (Meta) owns WhatsApp. I don’t use WhatsApp and it’s a hassle because it’s popular here so having the ability to send messages to WhatsApp without having a WhatsApp account or app would be useful.

The same could be said for sending emails to a Gmail account. You won’t be forced to send messages to WhatsApp but you’d have the option. WhatsApp is popular where I live so having the ability to send messages to a WhatsApp account would be useful for me as I refuse to install or use any facebook apps.

I hear you on the sensitivity of border discussions, but think of Charlie Chaplin’s "The Great Dictator"—a film that used humour and satire to expose the absurdity of dictators. Its impact was significant, as it helped shift public opinion away from totalitarian ideals during a critical time. Let's keep making fun of the clown king and his henchmen.

I assume a lot of those down votes are from folks who never clicked the post and didn't realize that Detroit is north of the Detroit river. Maybe I need to work on my delivery, my wife does give me a lot of eye rolls. I still think we need to mock Trump and friends to stop their BS from becoming normalized

Misinterpreting the exaggerated proposal as a genuine endorsement of border changes is a fundamental misunderstanding of satire. The intent is to ridicule the absurdity of the idea, not to promote it. It’s ridiculous to suggest that a hyperbolic comment meant to expose flawed logic could be seen as support for actual policy revisions.
