Russia has lost over 1 million soldiers. Before the war they were already facing the consequences of years of low birth rate and very low immigration. Add to that before the war their economy was 80% of the Canadian economy with over 100 million more people. Low productivity, combined with population crunch, combined with resources wasted on war, combined with low immigration and no chance to improve that leads to economic collapse.

While I think this is far too simplistic of a comparison. I will agree that the US is like nazi Germany if it was entirely run by barely functional idiots. The turd reich.

Cool beans. Hey Ukraine, after you’re done with Russia, feel free to target Iran now that they said the quiet part out loud.

I’m in building maintenance. It’s not affected at all by AI. Most of the trades are safe. Basically anything which would require both advanced LLM and advanced robotics to replace.

Another case of agent Orange helping his handler, by giving him a bit of breathing room. However, due to the massive losses in Ukraine, Russia is long term screwed. They will face a population crunch in the next 10 years which could cause the government to collapse. In essence, Russia has mortgaged its future for potential short term gain.

That’s ok, the president said they’re all suckers and losers.

Invading or pissing off Japan, China or Canada. All of whom own a sizable amount of the US national debt. Any one of whom can dump said debt and cause a default on the US debt causing hyperinflation. With hyperinflation, they can’t pay for their military and thus are dead in the water.

I’m here because I like the way the upvote/downvote feature works on here better than Reddit. Theoretically you could have equal upvotes and downvotes on a post on Reddit and it would look like there is almost no engagement at all. Here it’s far more honest.

Like the early internet. It gatekeeps by requiring a certain level of technical know how. I like it, it keeps out a lot of stupid.

Ordering pizza and playing a game with my wife called “can we stay awake until midnight?” I won last year, it’s about 50/50 this year.

I have distant cousins out that way due to one of my ancestors having 2 families at the same time.

Taking in past history of colonization, I believe the French response will be something along the lines of “mange le merde”. Not saying I agree, I just know that they typically don’t face up to the consequences of colonization easily or quickly.

It depends upon the job you are pursuing. I went back to school at 35 to pursue a trade in HVAC. I don’t recommend doing that much later. I ran into a lot of age discrimination when attempting to find a job.

How are you with New Brunswick French? I find it significantly easier to understand than Quebec French. Partially I think it’s because they speak slower in New Brunswick.

Quebecois is definitely difficult. I can understand people the next province over (New Brunswick) no problem as they tend to speak slower and many of their dialects like chiac have a lot of English words in them. But Quebecois tends to be spoken very quickly, and in some cases words run together much more. I’m a bilingual French Canadian and I have a lot of issues with that accent, which is strange as my family mostly came from Quebec originally. My grandfather, whose first language was French could watch tv from France and understand it perfectly, but had a lot of trouble with Radio-Canada reporters.

A definite exception would be the Newfie accent from eastern Canada. People in the same country cannot understand them.

I played Super double Dragon for SNES earlier. I also played super Mario Bros 2 for nes this week. Platform games are a great way to pass the time on the go when you have a phone and a Bluetooth controller.

The right one

That one is easy positive, negative, nipple, nipple.

I learned that no matter the diet, spices can compensate for the stuff that is nice for the tastebuds but bad for the diet.
