How are they going to understand a language that doesn’t exist yet?

Calling a bomb threat on the plane just before takeoff. That’ll really confuse things but it’ll get the job done.

So you going to head back to like a random Wednesday and be like nope not happening yet, let’s try tomorrow, nope. Maybe next week?

You see some fantastic outfits in Edinburgh. I think it’s the inability of the locals to accept that sometimes it’s hot. They don’t really get the idea.

The best I ever saw was someone wearing shorts, white trainers, and a black bomber jacket. Very much giving off a vibe “it’s bloody hot outside but I only own the one coat, so I’m wearing it”

There is a version of pugs without the short face, and you’re starting to see them more and more.

Piglets are cute.

They only remain cute for about a year and then they just become pigs.

Boor piglets are adorable, if they said like that we’d keep them as pets.

That top left one is Godzilla.

You can keep them as pets, but you can’t just take one of them from the wild.

I have lived in forested areas though in the past and they are semi-domesticated around there because people are constantly giving them food (not the best idea in the world but it happens).

They will quite happily come into your house.

I’ve never seen a white one before. I’m assuming that’s some subspecies like the North American tit, although thinking about it that might be a more orange colour.

Was looking for this one

Just get married in law. You don’t have to go through the whole wedding thing if you don’t want to.

It depends where you live and what local laws are but usually it’s called something like “civil partnership”, it’s legally the same thing as a marriage and grants your partner all the same rights as they would if you were married.

Doesn’t explain Europe though. European market in the American market are almost identical in terms of population size.

If anyone in the Trump administration had a brain they would already realize that they have nothing to offer internationally. It’s not exactly a secret.

Trump thinks that if he puts a tariff on imports from, say China, suddenly a bunch of factories will open up in America outputting the same cheap tat that China used to produce. But of course it doesn’t work like that. Attempting to take resources by force won’t help matters because America’s problem is not actually a lack of resources. It’s a lack of infrastructure and a talent pool so shallow that the ground is barely wet.

We’ve seen this with the chip factories that TSMC is trying to set up.

Really?

When Canadians were going on about boycotting American things there was a question on here, or Reddit I can’t remember which, that was asking other people from other countries if they would do the same.

I remember thinking I can’t think of a single American product that’s even available for purchase for me to boycott. Other than quite possibly Jack Daniels but I already don’t buy that anyway.

I cannot think of any food items, clothing, tech products, or materials that originate in the USA that I would normally buy even semi-regularly.

The US has a really serious problem on their hands which is that their trade war won’t achieve anything. The US doesn’t make anything, it famously doesn’t make anything, the only reason that they trade with Canada is because Canada is close. Even then it’s mostly just food stuffs which Canada can make themselves.

But they have virtually nothing to offer internationally hence the trade deficit, that trump is so upset about, in the first place

Argon would be better, as it won’t leave Earth and float off into space never to be seen again.

I think it’s cheating if you don’t have physical access to it otherwise you could just make it one of the voyager probes.

My cat brings me leaves and pine cones that he’s “killed”. He’s always extremely pleased with himself.

I don’t think that’s a particularly hot take. Pretty much everyone thinks that it was good with the minor exception of for a the actors.

I know exactly because I need prescription.

11. So that’s roughly one pair every 4 years. Of which I have 10, one of them is at the bottom of a lake somewhere
