Thanks. I'm happy to see we stand united across frontiers.

That's really cool.

I hope they are ready for the influx.

Will conflicts stop escalating?

I feel like Canada being only 1/10th of the US's population, it doesn't matter much. It would be much better to hurt them with something fundamental to other parts of the economy, like lumber, oil, parts...

I live right next to the port of Montréal, so I can provide info if you want. But I know nothing about ports. All I can say is that there's a lot of containers, big round things (to store oil?), and various industry including sugar, beer, some battery-related chemistry, among other things.

There's another port, also close to where I live, that's actually in another city. But it seems to be a city mostly for industry. It has only a mere 2000 inhabitants, and a lot of industry, especially oil. The city has the uninspiring name of "Montréal-est".

XMPP then

USSR dissolved in 1991 when its last member state, Khazakstan, left. Russia, which had left the union prior, found itself with a lot of nuclear warheads. Other ex-member states agreed to hand the nukes they had to Russia. Having nuclear weapons and having the means to maintain them and launch them, Russia naturally joined the Security Council in 1991.

It's kind of a revolution though because it all started with Maydan and the ousting of Russian puppet Yanukovitch.

I would say freedom, fallacies, and magic are not chemicals.

Powerful people have always justified their privilege in some way. Kings descended from the gods or had a divine right to rule, lords and other nobles were the better part of humanity and protected weaker people, etc.

I loved that section.

Surely if you only look at the picture you're only interested to fuck. Openly or deceptively.

So it's fine for a culture to pretend to have invented something or take something as their own as long as that something is from a culture that happens to be in the same country?

To me, that's cultural appropriation, no matter whether it happens within the same country or not.

As a Quebecois, I like that Canadians like poutine. I don't like that they pretend they have invented it. I also like that they like maple syrup and the traditions surrounding it (cabane à sucre). I don't like that they appropriate it as a thing of their own (we produce 90% of global maple syrup).

The fact public places need to explicitely say they are LGBT friendly makes our society feel dystopian. It's as if they had to say they are black people friendly or Jew friendly.

My son goes to a gender neutral school, my daughter goes to a gender neutral daycare, I work in a gender neutral office, and shop at gender neutral shops.

Real men shit in the urinals.

About impossible I think. The only chance is that if some Chinese voyager met Africans who spoke of nzambi, understood what they were talking about, told other Chinese people about this, and the concept got popular and widely diffused enough that it was adopted into Chinese folklore.

What I meant to say is that the cellulose is coated with plastic. I learned this from another post in the same thread.
