Bought more Lorwyn to draft through those difficult times!

This will piss off billionaires in the US, then I believe congress need to be notified of any intention to leave NAFTA. Billionaires are the source of congressman money-motivation. The result will be internal dissention in Republican congress members… I understand the current silence of congress like : we can’t have Republican unity to vote on implementing this fascist agenda, so we help by not impeaching (while retaining the option to pivot snd do so later.)

It was going to happen anyway, better now and in a way that will keep Canada united

Hell yeah, please make my preorder exciting.

Bien joué ! J’ajoute mon grain de sel : les rues piétonisées pendant trois mois l’été seraient tout aussi dynamiques 12 mois sur 12 sans voitures : des commerces florissants et des voisins qui se parlent.

Shouldn’t Canada do the same? Send the equipment to stabilize and improve social infrastructure, a bit of oil and fertilizer then have Cuba grow the fresh fruits and vegetables that can’t be grown locally during the Canadian winter.

NDP got decimated but they functionally still hold the same weight of bargaining power : give this government stability in exchange for advancing their ideas.

The problem with this strategy being that, comes the next election, your own ideas won’t be differentiated from the ruling party and the next election will be a challenge.

Carney could be smart to form an alliance with the Bloc for exactly this reason : the distance between Liberal ideas and the Bloc is quite small : obstruct their effectiveness at opposing you with an alliance.

If the Bloc and NDP are smart they both ask for electoral reform as a condition to give the government stability.

Absolutely: higher income people are paying for most of the program with their taxes, why exclude them? I might be a strange blend of left and right but these programs: schools, hospitals, daycare and dental should all provide a minimum level of service for everyone regardless of their income and help establish the basis for a fair price for dental care. This is a stupid implementation and will be destroyed as soon as a conservative government happens in 2-4 years because both the left and right will be unconvinced.

Bright indirect light and it will survive. My belief is to cut most fertilizer until there is active growth. I saved some plants like that in the past with leca. The lower leafs won’t ever look nice again but it looks like you achieved water balance. Good work!

If you look at this situation from an older mindset, i am above thirty, you would definitely tell them in a very direct and short conversation. Maybe even be playful about making them feel guilty, that’s what most people with more life experience would do.

Doesn’t she realize that to an authoritarian government, the senate having the ability to break his power is the most threatening thing ever : the more you wait the more you need to be fearful because your life will be shortened. Right now, it is in Trump’s best interest to disappear congress and the supreme court. And the supreme court is mostly dealt with by now because proven powerless. He has two years two deal with Democrats and way more time to deal with whoever he believes a problem, but the senate is an everyday threat to his power.

Isn’t that the strategy? Real estate goon style! Bully everyone that you consider week with a tsunami of unpredictable problems, get a deal with one of them to show its possible and offer crumbs for each to settle. You then wait for all to grow tired of the storm and offer worst conditions as time passes. This strategy will involve chaos, one negative example and one positive example.

This guy gets it. 100% agree.

Then second step : shared responsibility for theft like if someone buy a car in your name you aren’t stuck with 100% of the problem because the dealership is 50% liable. Third step : Insurances need to be available for the residual risk but with 50-50 liability everyone will be on their best behaviour.

What’s the next chapter in this story? Some hackers leak the personal info of all ICE grunts and they gets involved in all kind of accidents? In the last century, in Germany, moderates got declared undesirable anyway so now that they have a chance to organize beforehand. Some states ban ICE altogether and becomes safe havens? It’s easy being mesmerized and keep on with “but that’s illegal” , do something else happen? A few millions angry Americans can’t all fit in a 40000 person prison.

Well, they can only loose my vote once and it already happened a looooooonnnnng ago!

This is too chaotic to read, it says more about the state of your mind than the content you tried to express with this word salad. Don’t let the anxiety spiral, it’s not worth it. Let’s assess if damage was done :

It’s very simple : did you or did you not respect the sexual and emotional exclusivity with your boyfriend from the date you discussed being exclusive? Outside of this you are free to have conversations with anyone, just let your boyfriend know emotional stuff before anyone else. Also if people you had sex before are still in your life somehow, he should learn this from you and the sooner the better.

Relationships are diverse but the one thing that transcend any diversity is : you should feel like a team with your partner. Do anything to cultivate trust and if trust was broken you can only wait to see if he can overcome the issue and trust you anyway. Sometime it’s gone forever and you can only learn how to behave better in the future : no blurred lines in regard to sexual and emotional intimacy. You don’t only want to be factually exclusive but also to avoid appearance of infidelity whenever possible.

No consensus about the question but if i had a FWB, the sex with the FWB would stop when date number two is planned : keep things calm in my own head if it works, go back to FWB if it doesn’t.

A) Be honest, at what point did you expected to receive money and not give access to chatting or picture exchange? You where selling something, it was meant to be personal, unless you are okay with the whole concept it was very flawed from the start. Shocked Pikachu face meme and everything. I am surprised he was onboard with the concept : it seems that both you and him are uncomfortable living through this process. Maybe rationally he thought he was okay with it but emotionally can’t handle it. Like je changed his mind.

B) Your boyfriend will have seen this as a lapse of judgment. Before you can convince him your judgment won’t ever fail like that again you need to figure out if you are uncomfortable from the behaviour itself or from your boyfriend reaction to it. He can’t ask you this in a respectful manner but you need to destroy in a permanent way all social media account involved in this process. Then talk to him honestly what changed in between the original discussion of a sugar daddy and the recent rejection of it. He was just as naive as you? Open communication.

If I was in your boyfriend shoes and in love in my twenties i would have tried to make it work… in my thirties i would most probably have left but wouldn’t have accepted any form of online sugar daddy to begin with . I know this whole comment is pretty harsh but i believe in telling the truth. None of this means you can’t be a descent person outside of this naively managed situation.

Then what if the process doesn’t stop? Bonds interest keep on rising until June-July. The not independent anymore central bank intervene and the USD devaluation gets spectacular!

I wonder… if your buddies went long on stock this week, do you push it just a bit higher before the next storm, so they exit?

It would be hilarious for the Truth Social early warning to be true-true-false. At some point he will do the opposite and only the closest insiders will profit.

I split this evolving situation according to different scenarios and try to weight their relative probability. What’s the motive, where’s the gain?

A) 80% Some variation of pure incompetence where they tried some shit with whatever aim and weren’t prepared for the hard pushback they got served quickly and decisively. Current events are capitulation, at least for a moment.

B) 15% We are in a Russia-like scenario where this administration needs to govern from fear : population fear deportation and can’t elect another government and fear from the companies that he can crash anything at will without remorse : pay regularly to avoid the destruction of your business model. Mafia protection tax will be lucrative for the few people at the very top.

C) 5% Wider destruction of society with genocide and a new flavour of slavery. Luckily this one is difficult and stoping at a mid point, pivoting to B, is easier. Achieving stability in a “network city” scenario doesn’t seems plausible to me : one small example: try to manufacture stuff to give your ruler class quality healthcare without any scale because war killed so much people… modern stuff is outrageously complicated.
