>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 to help us now? How are we stronger alone, instead of ha

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 your claim the US is singularly the worst offender (its

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 before I trust anyone else (yes yes, trucker protest

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 of deaths in war over your chosen time period. Your ha

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 is a difference between something that is forgiving and

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 of all deaths combatant and civilian in this cherry pi

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 peers in its actions?

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 inferior equipment that sucks the life out, or requires a path of

>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 is a testable question that could be measured bu

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 quantify how that translates to impacting other use

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 statement in any meaningful way. The proper response

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 traffic and make wrong decisions etc... Waymos, b

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 attack, but your example of the defence force is an

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 logistics arm backing them the discussion completely changes. Uk

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 untrained civilian forces with nothing but rifle

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 that number goes down when rural is added. I've always

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 militias/military command in the event we need to domest

As a Canadian, this is increasingly becoming my best case scenario. Hopefully we can maintain our independence, and many of the freedoms and judicial process the US is currently destroying, although there are some exceptions our govt drasti

How has Canada compared to the US in terms of visa's and conferences? I know there have been a number of successful conferences here, but more scientific than technical from my recollection. I'd love for us to be a new destination
