I did my part. Now hopefully the rest of you all don’t fuck it up.

Successful in mass media, sure.

Short tape, just like my penis!

Ha! Ha. Ha.ha… :(

Title of your sex tape

Nuh uh. I’m rubber and you’re glue!

Anytime, buttmunch.

No? Because I don’t give a shit?

A name is just a label. A sound or set of symbols in an order that inspires the concept of that thing in someone else. In the case of someone’s name, mispronouncing my name either has one of two consequences: 1. I don’t hear it. My ear is keen on people saying my name (the way it’s normally said), so if your pronunciation is too far off from how my name is normally said, my ear may not “hear” it, thinking you’re taking to someone else and I will more or less ignore that you’ve “said my name”… OR, when you address me with the wrong pronunciation, I will recognise that the sounds you’ve chosen to use for me, while not typically the sounds associated with the concept of my self, are indeed referring to the same thing.

I comprehend what you mean, and that’s the important bit. The letters/sounds used are secondary to the point effectively being understood.

I’ve been called by all kinds of names, plenty that sound like mine, there’s a very common name that starts with a J that sounds like mine that I’ve gotten a lot, and I’ve even been called by completely different names, and I generally could not give less of a shit about it. Unless the speaker is a friend, or someone I care enough about to value their opinion, then why would I care?

Well, I hope he returns from the store eventually, jerkface.

Idk. I haven’t met enough people from any of these states to have an opinion.

That’s right, you did ask for it. Don’t be so obtuse.

You poo poo head!

No you’re not.

Similarly, we can recognise that the gif creator intended for it to be said jif, and also not use that pronunciation because it’s dumb, and we hate it.

See? It works both ways.

I’m Canadian, I don’t hate the idea.

In any case, it’s clear that the USA is less “United” these days… It’s more just … The States of America now.

To be clear, the people who want this are the American capitalists who stand to profit off of Canada’s natural resources. If we were a US state it would be much easier, almost downright trivial, to move up here and take whatever they want.

Obviously, Canada, and Canadians, don’t want that, and it would seem most of the US population doesn’t either.

IMO, this seems like a move by the people who are puppeteering Trump around. They see an opportunity to exploit what is currently a sovereign nation, and they’re going for using Trump as little more than a mouthpiece for their goals.

Sorry about that. I’m not far from the border at Niagara falls and I know how much power is sent over the lines across the Niagara River (generally)… It’s not great, and I’m sorry you have been caught in the crossfire here.

You don’t want this, I can assure you, we don’t want this, but it’s what is happening.

I mean … Comparing anything to US News outlets is kind of setting the bar really low, isn’t it?

That’s fair. There’s still sensible people in the USA.

I was a little unclear before, the set of people who think this makes sense is entirely within the set of people in the USA. Which doesn’t and shouldn’t imply that all people in the USA believe that this makes sense.

I apologize if there was any implication of lumping all Americans into the same pool of stupidity. That’s an insult to you and I am sorry.

Have a good day neighbor.

The only people it makes sense to, for Canada becoming a US state, is the people in the USA.

We have land and resources they need, that we are happy to sell them, year over year.

Also, just to mention, the dairy thing? Yeah, that’s on dairy products beyond a certain cap. It’s there to encourage the use of Canadian dairy, instead of relying on foreign dairy… You know, so our dairy farmers don’t go broke.

Looking at the records, that import limit has been hit… Carry the one… Yeah, exactly zero times.

🖕

Sincerely,

• Canada
