Yeah, I’m kinda surprised by the downvotes. I’d rather no guns but if I had to choose between the system missing one and spotting one incorrectly, I’m pretty sure I lean to the false positive.

I’ve wondered how many other folks are jerking it way more often than pre-covid.

“Not when the price is 200 and certainly not when you have Liberia’s deficit in your skyrocket!”

Also, fully agree on Lock Stock v Snatch. Snatch is more polished etc but damn, the dialogue LS is so damned good. I feel half the time I go to a Guy Ritchie movie nowadays it’s out of a sense of gratitude for LS more than anything else.

But it’s an animated gif!

Damn, I’ve had this scene and consequently the movie stuck in my head since your original quote.

A curse and a blessing.

Your’re welcome! Enjoy!

Sorry! That’s what imgflip outputted when I made it. On my phone it still seems like a gif, no idea why/how it would change.

Lock Stock and 2 Smoking barrels. Guy Ritchie’s first and arguably best movie.

If you haven’t seen it, well, I’d change that.

But this is Willy and Willy lives here!

10/10 title/reference.

This one is unfortunate but you can see why in the fine print:

GD-OTS-Canada’s Valleyfield plant is the sole source of this type of propellant for the US Army

It’s part of a shared distribution from the US to both Israel and Ukraine, one of which we desperately want to help. I cannot imagine a universe in which the US lets Canada demand none of it go to Israel and it all goes to Ukraine.

I jumped to piefed a couple of weeks ago. Copying my feeds from lemmy was fine (also grabbed pugJesus’ to round out the collection.) I liked the topic browsing etc so subscribed to a bunch of other communities but often just find myself on all sorted by scaled.

I don’t think there’s any real consequences to switching, I rather like the UI and a couple of handy features but admittedly am still just using the front end website rather than an app.

This is a really easy opinion when it costs you nothing.

Stylistically, I’d give the 2010s to hipsters. Damn I do not miss skinny jeans.

Item and sociologically? The smartphone is now ubiquitous.

Sadly, I think the late 10s + a bit will be known as the trump/covid era. (Or, if things get much worse, the beginning of the end.)

Hell, Canada did even ignored the selling of lands in the occupied west bank in Synagogues. Canada claim to oppose settlements while allowing that.

I have no idea what you are trying to say, I’m guessing you’re fairly drunk.

Goodnight.

Wanting the government to do more does not make its actions illegal.

Read the article for an explanation on the arms sales.

We’ve already been over this:

Lying about stopping selling arms to Israel, not imposing a single sanction on Israel for genocide and settler colonialism, not condemning Israeli abuses of the Canadian activists of the flotilla show the selective care of human rights abuses.

We seem to be talking about different things. I am pointing out that Canada is meeting its legal obligations. You are angry Canada isn’t doing more.

These are fundamentally different conversations.

Canada like many other countries lied about it.

It’s much more complicated than you make it out to be, in part because unlike sanctioned countries like North Korea etc Israel is in other senses a regular trade partner.

Canadian serving under the IDF

Under a hundred, presumably mostly all dual citizens in another sovereign nation hardly constitutes Canadian government policy.

Yes, I’d like the government to do more.

But, that is different from the government not following international law.

Canada, like many others has stopped selling arms.

The Geneva conventions do not obligate countries to march in to prevent abuses, nor have serious legal experts said that normal trade with Israel is illegal.
