So you think you can come to the Canadian border waving around a dead Canada goose and you’ll be welcomed with open arms?

You’d be shot on sight. If we had any guns.

So if Linus Torvalds were to announce one day “I’m tired of Linux, time to burn it all down” that’d be fine? Someone else can just create a new operating system, after all.

The point here is that OP may have “created” the subreddit in the sense of clicking a few buttons and filling out some text fields, but at this point it’s a community with 200,000 participants. Those participants also share in its ownership. Forcing them to jump through hoops recreating the whole thing just because OP’s decided he wants a Viking funeral is selfish.

Ah, MAGA has found a new idiotic slogan to parrot. How tiresome.

Go through the cycle a few times and maybe they can use insect eggs? Peasants have plenty of insects, right?

I sometimes steal pieces of it, if only for inspiration, but I love worldbuilding and making up my own settings.

I’m currently running an adventure in a Spelljammer setting where most of the previous D&D campaigns I’ve run over the years exist on different planets, with elements of all of them now able to make cameos or interact with each other. It’s wild.

Yeah, as soon as he said “Goose, easy” I knew he was not Canadian material. Sorry, OP. Maybe try Mexico?

Trump has also made it very clear that this isn’t really about fentanyl, that’s just a convenient excuse (he can’t impose tariffs without congress unless it’s for “national security.”)

His real purpose seems to be some combination of “if I hurt Canada then that makes America stronger somehow” and “if I hurt Canada enough then they’ll give up and submit to being conquered by America outright.” He’s said both of these things, and Trump is too cheese-brained to be an effective liar; when he shows you what he’s really like you should believe him.

It’s a war of aggression, essentially. Fentanyl is just his Gulf of Tonkin.

When trump tried to divide them, Trudeau tried to play ball.

Like a mature adult who wants to explore all options to avoid harm to his country. That’s not a sign of “weakness.”

Then they can make a new sub and pointlessly use their own leg work.

The existing sub is right there. OP wants to walk away from it. There’s absolutely no point to burning it to the ground and forcing someone else to do a bunch of work to recreate it, it’s just petty.

I’ve had to deal with this sort of “if I can’t have it nobody can” mentality in online communities before, helping rebuild the ruins of something that someone pointlessly destroyed on their way out the door, and it massively sucks. OP’s just going to make everyone hate him.

And from the US.

Might not necessarily be as narcissistic as you imply. If this person created the sub, and is still the only mod, then it wouldn’t really exist without them.

No, but maybe it can exist without him. Out of 200,000 subscribers someone could want to step up and take over.

The Reddit corporation doesn’t give a fuck.

200,000 people might give a fuck.

And frankly he’s being incredibly selfish to try this. 200,000 people apparently enjoy his sub, but now that he’s bored with it he’d rather see it destroyed than let someone else handle it.

America is currently at war with us, declared abruptly and out of nowhere. They just decided one day “we want to annex Canada!”

Even if Donald’s presidency is short-lived and a new slightly saner and less stupid administration takes control, I don’t think it’s a good idea to be trusting the Americans any more.

We need to disentangle ourselves from any military dependence on such ridiculously unreliable “allies.” I’m all for this.

Ah, so this is how survival prepping goes mainstream. Not quite how I expected but I’ll take it.

They may also go down over time. They may do little spirals, or go sideways.

Donald changes his mind on these things literally hour-to-hour. That’s really great for American businesses.

Yeah, I’d much rather have random humans I don’t know anything about making those “moral” decisions.

If you’re already answered, “No,” you may skip to the end.

So the purpose of this article is to convince people of a particular answer, not to actually evaluate the arguments pro and con.

Sounds like an auction with extra steps.

Indeed, that’s IMO the most horrifying part. It sounds like Gene himself may have been too far gone mentally to be suffering, but that poor dog suffered greatly.

I live alone and even though I’m perfectly healthy I bought self-filling water and food dishes for my dog and I make sure they stay topped up. If my brain were to abruptly explode someday for some unknown reason I want to be sure she’ll be okay for however long it takes for my friends to come over and check on why I’m not answering any communication.

“If you don’t stop trying to defend yourself from me I’m gonna attack you!” Yeah, that’s really reassuring.

Wasn’t he just a nut who had decided to shoot anyone who was really famous, and Donald just happened to come to town that day?

There are so many things about this timeline that are just dumb. My suspension of disbelief is broken. I want to subscribe to a different one.
