Especially with a young child, I’d never move to Alberta.

i was expecting you to be exadurating, but its mostly just… cards cards cards.

didn’t play 3, what do you mean by ‘marvel-esque’?

well, it worked so well for El Salvador… :p

That’s too bad, it’s a beautiful peice. Any way to rescue it?

Post the final project pic

“we don’t know how many we can harvest, so just kill them all”

well, this is going to be a disaster

similar…

The one thing i cant replace, though, are my cosmic crisp apples. Just the best.

yea, and be clear about it. Don’t hide that they are turning a profit, but there’s a lot of people that might find that attractive.

I like working with some contractors, because they will list each item, at cost… and then the last line item is “20% profit”.

Rent to Rent, for a $150/m computer, is just robbery.

yea, as usual its a “we will strive to do better in the future” not-apology.

This should be a either a rent-to-own system, or just a monthly payment system. Be clear “you will pay 150% the purchases price of the equipment over this time period”, and it would be mostly better.

This is my big concern. ever increasing prices, as they lock us out of low cost stores to maximize their profit.

oh, god, if my community did this i’d put so many flags up on my house.

“I don’t want Russia to take over a country, so i want to tell a foreign nation to roll over and surrender so its taken over by Russia”

NOT a strong argument.

i dont beleive its my choice, or the americans choice, but is instead the choice of Ukraine and the Ukranian people.

What IS our choice is whether we support them, or let them fight without support.

What makes you the right person to chose for an entire foreign nation?

Its so weird that you see the USA ‘escalating the situation’, not the ukranian people trying to defend themselves. Weird that, huh?

Russia may not wish to prolong the conflict, Russia may not wish to prolong the conflict, “I dont want to keep hitting you with a steel rod, but each time you try and roll over, I’m forced to hit you! this is all your fault”

This is just victim blaming, war-sympathizing, and Russia simping behavior. Russia started it, Russia continues it, and Russia could end it tomorrow at no loss of life. I don’t know WHY you are pro-Russia, but you ARE revealing yourself to be pro-war, as long as its anyone but the USA.

If Ukriane gave up today, thousands of people would STILL die as Russia invades, sends people to camps, ect ect. But i guess you are OK with that.

Russia is the one trying to start WW3, but what, any attempt to say “no, bad country” is being a warmonger?

The hope is always to prevent escalation, but you cant sit idly by while things spiral out of control. No one wants war, and it always comes at a cost of innocent lives. We need to focus on ways to prevent it… which means being willing to spray the dog with water and say “no, bad dog”.

Diplomacy is essential and should always be the first, second, and third line of defense. However, diplomacy backed by a stance of ‘turning the other cheek’ in the face of invasion often encourages further aggression, rather than preventing it.

In the end, when a nation is invaded and forced to defend itself, suggesting that they should simply surrender and allow themselves to be conquered is not only impractical but also dangerously naive. That mindset, rather than leading to peace, often perpetuates conflict.

“open up diplomacy” is a funny way to say 'appease Russia and give away a sovereign nation". But hey, clearly giving away the Crimea region to Russia stopped all future invasions, and saved a lot of lives… or maybe, if Putin had been told no by the UN, it would have stopped this entire thing.

I’m against endless war… but you don’t stop war by rolling over and showing a dictator your belly.

no shit, Trump would just give Ukraine to Russia, and then brag about it.
