>Look at how the US is being seen by the international community. The reputation we had as a strong ally and worthwhile partner has been badly damaged. Why would other nations want…

I would also say Nike WANTS to be a lifestyle brand, but in public perception they haven't been able to move out of an athletic shoe brand.

>You seem to want to finish this argument without actually looking at any statistics. I provided statistics on deaths and put the US in scope, and asked for you to provide proof of…

Canada has etransfer/interact which works well. >How much do you trust your government with your money? Well I'm in Canada, I would trust the govt and the banks with my money befor…

Have you actually looked at the numbers or are you just bound and determined to stick to your opinion regardless of facts or reality? As shown, the US isn't the top or the majority…

Man I really needed that last month playing with some friends. Would have been hilarious and more fun!. Bit of a reducto-ad-absurdum though isn't it. But in all seriousness there i…

Anyone paying attention may have been mislead as you have been, but your own sources highest estimates aggregated (which is likely 1.5-2x higher than reality) put the US around 1/5…

Down 6% in premarket, will have to wait and see but likely wont help them much as tariffs will impact a significant amount of their products regardless.

I certainly wont disagree with the US not representing any moral heights especially now, however do you have sources for the US being particularly egregious in relation to its peer…

Opposite advice. Take the best equipment and enjoy the game the most, focus on strategy with the increased options and capabilities. So much time and frustration wasted with inferi…

>You don't treat every possible hypothesis as potentially valid. Wrong, you consider and reject hypothesis if we're being specific about the scientific method. In this case, this i…

This is exactly the question I was asking, thanks for your input. I know the highlighted examples of 'bad behaviour' in waymo's are somewhat sensationalized, but its hard to quanti…

I wouldn't say its contrived, but I agree its important to take such questions and back them up with data. My question is open in that we don't really HAVE data to measure that sta…

Is crash the best indicator of success? I know some really bad drivers that have almost no 'accidents', but have caused/nearly caused many. The cut off others, get confused in traf…

We're talking about the average citizen with a rifle and no training against a dictator/tyrant. In Ukraines case, that civilian group was not initially effective at stopping the at…

My point is untrained, inexperienced and under-equipped civilians have little chance against a military. Once you start giving them training, organizing and arming them with a logi…

>I don't think this is true. They were formed at the day of invasion (or few days before) with those who voluntarily enlisted(very many people), they received some old AK with bull…

Yeah. I mean its been obvious to many they're full of shit for decades, but that was the 'If anyone still thinks they aren't full of shit after this" line...

Yes the Territorial Defence forces in Ukraine, an example of government backed reserves/semi-trained forces with equipment far beyond the oversimplification of "rifles". Actual unt…

We will have to disagree on this. >unless military decides to level all cities in the country. See Gaza, most of eastern Ukraine. The existence of armoured equipment, air support, …

Its usually not hugely controversial, but there is that small minority here too... Some points I feel compelled to make: About 52% of URBAN voters support outright firearm bans but…

>They are literally almost never used in crime. It absolutely depends on the type of crime. Domestic murders most often happen with 'legal' guns north and south of the border. Othe…

>In other words, it was written with no consideration for performance at all. This is a bold assumption to make on such little data other than "your opinion". Developing in python …

The best take of the current US situation is still "NRA fails to live up to its only reason for existing and doesn't stand up to the tyrannical government"

Agreed! As a Canadian, I'd love to see a resurgence of Cadets, Reserves and other methods of training civilians in proper gun use, self defence and methods to integrate with militi…
