Hopefully. If the US leaves NATO and then attacks, article 5 can be triggered.

If they attack before leaving NATO I don’t believe article 5 can be used.

Lol, heaven is also an authoritarian dictatorship

Unfortunately Canada would love more territory but I think we would have to refuse unless everyone who voted for Trump left the state beforehand.

I mean, what are they going to do when the plane approaches the runway without permission, shoot down the vice president of the United States? They didn’t really have much of a choice. I doubt the Americans would have turned around once refused.

Shells are artificially inflated because they aren’t valued as a “home” but rather as an “investment”

And investment makes money, so snails with money can afford to pay more than the shell is worth as a “home”

If a shell were not allowed to be used as an “investment” the prices would go down substantially, even if they weren’t forced to be sold.

If they were forced to be sold, the prices would drop even further as all of a sudden there would be a flood of *people" trying to sell their shells to a limited number of slugs, who would then only choose the best deal for themselves.

The slugs may not have been able to be approved for a loan for a $500k shell but only for a $300k shell, but there were no $300k shells available and if they were, they were complete crapheaps In a bad neighbourhood so renting a shell was the more logical choice.

They won’t change

Surprised Musk isn’t on the list

I think it has to do with some law where banks are required to cut all financial ties to any company that aids in the production, purchase or selling of CSAM and Sexual Trafficking content etc. so many businesses are wary of any website that provides adult content unless there is the strictest of moderation and verification procedures.

Which is one of the reasons many websites (tumbler, Reddit) are limiting NSFW content because they want to be able to have users buy things on their website but don’t want to moderate the content to the standards of the banks.

I’m surprised Musk didn’t tell Boeing that it needs to be named the F-69 if they want the contract

Ya there’s no way it’s useful enough to have been used long enough for rust to form on it.

You just know the designer has never used an outdoor/farm gate before

I hate Reddit, and I hate discord.

I am using discord for a discussion thread of one thing which follows a serial webnovel and it’s infuriating because when something new happens there’s always a constant influx of people asking the same questions because there is no way to pin or highlight pertinent information and no one is going to go scrolling through a million messages searching for the first time the question was asked and answered.

Discussion threads! Not chat messages!

They also didn’t need to put an actually wall behind the photo and destroy the Tesla, but why not?

I mean, I get the purpose of the test but I’m pretty sure a human would crash too.

As long as it isn’t absorbative, so if you can find a tattoo sleeve made of nitrile or latex go ahead.

It’s pretty common knowledge for anyone who works with chemicals that the first thing you do when something spills on your clothes is to remove your clothing, otherwise it’s just keeping the chemicals in contact with your skin for it to prolong absorption.

Until the fabric absorbs the chemicals and is a constant source against your skin until removed

Come visit Canada instead (: pretty much the same, but you won’t be detained at the border.

I mean, out of state plates shouldn’t matter much. The residents of the state should be paying for the road maintenance, not people from out of state.

So the total cost of the roads should be bared by the residents, and their fees should be high enough to account for the damage done from out of state vehicles

I say this Soley because our of state vehicles don’t need to be in California, and they don’t need Californian roads, so why should they pay for them?

The residents of the state benefit from them being there because they are delivering goods to be sold in California to Californians, or to travel and spend tourist dollars in California providing jobs to locals, etc.

Residents should pay for the roads because the roads benefit the residents by allowing out of state traffic. It shouldn’t solely be a straight charge to every vehicle that uses the roads.

You can have tiers to solve that, like vehicles under 5000lbs pay $x per kilometer driven, vehicles between 5000lbs and 10,000lbs pay $y per kilometer driven, and vehicles over 10000lbs pay $z per kilometer driven.

Wouldn’t be perfect but closer.
