Lets also not forget that Thomas Jefferson was a real piece of work, even by the low standards of the US revolutionary elite: • Raped his slaves, then enslaved kids that resulted from those rapes • Tied to the above: actually managed to horrify french aristocrats. In one case when they noticed one of his slaves was clearly his kid. (Note that they had to get special permission to have slaves in the embassy in France) • Was Trump-levels of eager when it came to invading and conquering Canada before the war of 1812 and was a major player in starting that war.

The funny thing is that outside of car manufacturing, all of his threats are impotent because of NAFTA that he signed.

And his handlers know it. If he steps out of that agreement, Canada fucks him over.

Russia (from my armchair) looks to be essentially a colony of China at this point, and China has most of a supply line that ignores western nations.

Except for tech, which they still have to steal from us.

The other bit is that Peter Navarro hates Canada.

Dont forget you're also paying 50% for your aluminium in the US because youre tariffing Canada on it, and you get almost all of it from Canada.

So that 25% car parts is compounded by the +50% on that.

Nah the Geese are chill. Just need to know how to approach and communicate.

Thanks for the write up, but I was blocked from logging in on a cloudflare website because I opened too many windows once and their tracking cookie flagged that browser as a bot.

Meanwhile the bot I built to track mod updates to my modlist for Rimworld and Mw5 on nexus? Never ran into any issues.

So when I refer to Cloudflare's bot detection as shit, that is a highly personal and professional opinion.

Ah yes, cloudflare's captcha that just tracks how many hits you've done in a timeframe on a site recently.

Same shit different pile.

Makes sense.

1. Google's "anti bot" verification has long been considered woefully inadequate.
2. It works largely by tracking how long the user takes to click on it.
3. LLMs are inherently fuzzy and for a bot, incredibly slow.

Note: "Saint" patrick driving out all of the "Snakes" means that him and his goons scared off or killed everyone who wasnt Christian.

The "snakes" is allegorical.
