Thus why I called it my knee jerk reaction. The tie in of the monarchy isn't easy or possible to get rid of in Canada, regardless of how i feel about the royals. My point more so was a British monarch immediately asks for help from a country with lower GDP and army spending without elaborating, and I don't really like him.

You see, when one says "knee jerk", per vocabulary.com it means:

The idiom "a knee jerk reaction" means that you respond to something in an equally unthinking way. If you instinctively assume that someone who loves clowns wouldn't have much in common with you, that's a knee jerk, or automatic, reaction.

Thus I'm unthinking. It's not meant to be taken seriously, inherently meaning that it's a bad or idea I haven't thought about.

Agreed

Knee jerk response? Demand King Charles no longer be our king.

Honest response? What's the war over? If the UK is mass killing people (they have a history of that), then the US. The US is mass killing people (they have a history of that), then thr UK.

Maybe we should grow beyond the last century's call for war better get to killing response. Maybe Canada should feel bad about its role in the Boer war, for example, or question what we should have done differently in the Korean War, and perhaps nuance needs to be done.

Maybe the two old heads of state on each side should have to fight to the death or negotiate rather than millions of the world's poor sent through generational hell so one side can have more money.

Cuck on a duck

I did a quick Google since this article is click bait: it's resting before you burnout to avoid it.

I imagine the article would also call out someone for avoiding excessive sugar before they are diabetic, based on the title, then the article explains that it makes sense actually, which is what they did.

"I'm not racist, but" oh, they are going to say something racist.

Weirdest ongoing joke, if I remember right. His real name is Nicholas Schimmelpenninck, but when he took over as the main host in season 2, they had shortened it to make it easier to say.

Yikes, thanks for sharing. Maybe it's time for some Nintendo shareholders to ensure it doesn't become an annoying add on for Xbox. Or not, they may just take the cheques.

Quote from the article:

However, Spencer outlined a number of blocks on the merger, including the fact Nintendo seemed uninterested in selling up. Nintendo is “sitting on a big pile of cash”, Spencer said, and was apparently happy with its current position. As a result, Spencer said he couldn’t “see an angle” on a buyout in the short term, adding: “I don’t think a hostile action would be a good move… so we are playing the long game."

So its never happening and it's at best delusional. Got it.

Worked at 3 of them that did that. Worst working environmentsever. Current one is experimenting with it, but I'm WFH all the time so I just made it known I never want that.

I've never been so angry reading something I had to go through at 3 different jobs.

Cubicles? In this economy?

I watched this religiously when it came out. It was so much better than any other reality TV shows. So much fun to get together and watch.

That'd a very logical, smart, calm, and reasoned way to look at it. I applaud your calm logic.

Now look up "Republican platforms" and see if any of those adjectives still apply.

Somehow, after 2011, it became politicized and here we are.

Totally, never buy the pre portioned ones. Always make them from scratch.

Go for some burgers, toast the buns, salt the tomatoes, setup caramelized onions, and use a nice cheese. Homemade buns go the extra mile.

So the people move there due to low taxes, find out there is weak to no infrastructure, demand improvement, taxes rise, complain about taxes, leave... seems sustainable.

Or the habitants pay extra for all the necessities of life, and the companies in the state have to pay more for staff, then they leave due to higher expenses.

Good luck figuring it out, Texas.
