Sorry for the incredibly long posting thread. As you can probably tell, I have a lot of feels.
But any expectation that the USA will be forgiven and especially "quickly"....

How can any country base it prosperity on trade deals with the USA?
The USA is Canada's largest trading partner still. But our government is absolutely diversifying as much as we can. This has been revealed as a critical flaw in our economy since the USA cannot be trusted.

And all of this is ignoring the hardest hurdle the USA will have. Either there is too much power in the president or the checks/balances are broken.
So what is to stop this from happening again?

None of this should be acceptable in a law and order based world. The USA is behaving like "Might make right". It is "wonderful" to see USA take inspiration from what Putin did to Ukraine. (see Greenland)

So what is the point making a "deal" with the USA if it will just be thrown away.
Yes, the trade deal has a sunset clause. So discussions are intended to occur.... but when there are specific carveouts that Canada signs on trade deals, saying all of those need to removed is bad faith.

And then there is the free trade agreement between Canada and USA. It was originally passed decades ago.
Trump during his first term did not like it.
So there was a renegotiation. Fair enough.
Now the agreement he signed is "no good" and he wants concessions from Canada.

Just for clarity, I'm Canadian.
We have been an ally and the largest trading partner of the US for decades. And you elect a president who acts like a mafia don.... let me give you a deal you can't refuse. Or it be nice to annex you. Christ, look at the shit he is pulling on Greenland.

Yes, inflation sucks.... but it hit the whole world and it takes time to solve. But if voters are just going to look at their pain without considering the context it occurs in..... stupid voters.

But then to reelect him.... he blatantly said what he was going to do if elected. The media was definitely sane-washing him but he was a complete disaster the first time.

It will be an uphill battle and the damage will last years.
Trump's first election could be looked at as a mistake. Maybe the electorate is just not paying enough attention.

Quiet can be good.
Don't think of it as anti-social.... more taking a break to recharge extrovert batteries.
Due to various reasons, had XMAS with just my wife. Very quiet and low key. She as an introvert who has issues with some family members found it to be heaven.

Thank you for reading my bitching.
Not sleeping is not the end of the world.... just annoying.
And I'm sure they will adjust something so it won't be an ongoing problem.

I'm sure oncologist will adjust something but this is just annoying.
Previously had similar issues but only after dose reduction and they took out one of the steroids..... suspect there will be something changed for new time. Not sleeping is consider sub-optimal.

Played on my computer in my room with door closed.
Realized it was 3am..... so went to bed.
Unwound in bed until 5am.... wasn't tired.
Tried to sleep since I should be tired.... went down only until 7am.
Now awake with slight headache and still not tired.

A lot of people get to skip lines at gates.
Other than assholes bringing oversized bags for the overhead bins or people putting their stuff above your row and no where near them. Most times I find that it makes little different in boarding order. It is rare your stuff does not fit.

And a couple of times the carts are relays between different places to get another cart. And I've stopped waiting at a relay place and walked since it was taking too long and I needed to get to my gate. (Walking too much can negatively impact me. But some times travel forces decisions)

Agree completely.
Stage 4 cancer which gives me limited energy on some days. With really long layovers I will get the handicap carts to move me between gates. I am perfectly capable of walking on/off plane so I do so. And on short layovers I walk because the carts are slow.

I am seeing way too many fake AI generated videos on TikTok and Youtube and I cannot filter them out.
Some have the "Sora" watermark but a lot do not. Piss me off. When I am looking at funny cat/dog/baby video I expect them to be real (ok, yes some are staged) and not fake.

Am I missing something?
The dump is signed with permanent signs it is closed thanksgiving.
But he is for at least two years in a row has packed up garbage into his vehicle and tried to drop it off.
Is this some absurd comedy bit I’m missing context for?
Or is it stupidity?
