At least a few years. I switched to Linux a year ago and that was a huge consideration for me when choosing Debian over Ubuntu.

Notice how I didn’t say murder, I said killed. That can easily happen in detention facilities due to neglect and lack of medical care, especially as it gets crammed full of too many people. I’m not saying there’s no possibility that there will be murders, but I definitively did not say murder in my last comment because no, it is not my belief that Trump is planning to exterminate migrants at this current point in time. The labour and torture is probably imminent though, Guantanamo is pretty famous for it.

The unwritten implication is that they will be used for slave labour, tortured, and/or killed. It really depends on how fascist and violent Trump wants it to get. Guantanamo Bay is not outfitted for mass detention, so you connect the dots.

So much for “never again,” eh? More like “whenever we feel like it” if trends in global hegemony are any indication.

I used to, when I had fun neighbours my age that I made through an online Buy Nothing group. If you just start indulging in social groups related to your interests, you’re bound to meet people. It’s up to you if you want to socialize more with those people.

Unfortunately, no one will force you to hang out with them (except red flag weirdos), so a lot of the effort needs to come from you. If you get flaked on/deprioritized/ignored/ghosted more than once or twice, that’s the cue to move on and try someone else so you don’t get your hopes up.

He’s a fan of China, just not right now. A trade war is more important to him. Not to mention Chinese AI just tanked the DOW a short while ago to the point that there’s a bill trying to ban downloading DeepSeek R1.

If they raise the price, it’s not coming down. That’ll just be the new price. If it’s a temporary surcharge specifically due to the avian flu that’s currently ravaging US chicken farms, then it could be rescinded and prices could return to normal later on. I don’t know about you, but I would rather pay more temporarily than indefinitely.

To your point, if you want the advertised price to be the final price, you should call your congressperson and discuss getting rid of tipping statewide and using the total price (including tax) on menu items instead of subtotals. That has nothing to do with Waffle House, though.

Stop trying to make connections and just listen.

I’m trying to understand the things you are telling me because they don’t make sense and contradict. In the end, I was correct and you’re just weird and have trouble communicating and reading.

So then why did you reply to my comment as though you were correcting me if the answer to my question was “yes, probationary workers can be fired without cause for any reason”? You’ve just confirmed that neither federal employment law nor a union contract will protect these probationary workers.

So the current union contract specifically gives probationary workers the right not to be fired without cause? Honestly, that’s a lot better than I was expecting.

But there still has to be a reason.

Canadian here. Under US employment law, can’t the reason be as arbitrary as “I don’t like the colour of your shirt” (i.e., you can be fired without cause for any reason)? Barring a union contract that says otherwise and explicitly mentions probationary workers, it seems like they can make up any reason they want; that’s probably the easiest part.

What actions, specifically, did we take that you would consider “caving”? Fentanyl trafficked across the Canadian border accounts for 0.2% of US border seizures of fentanyl and, like others have said, we already have a minister who is responsible for monitoring illicit drugs at the border so we would simply be renaming the position.

Additionally, Canadian politicians have been calling for more of a presence at the border for years, so even this would not really be much of a cave considering there’s both a federal election and an Ontario election imminent. If we do decide to have CBSA under military command, it would actually help us meet the NATO requirement to spend 2.5% GDP on our military.

No matter what we end up doing, none of it actually involves much work from us that we wouldn’t otherwise be doing anyway due to other commitments. So what are we caving on?
