Wait, does centrism ever win an election?

It can in countries with an actual political spectrum and multiple parties spread across all points of that spectrum.

Less so in a country with only a binary choice like the USA has.

When the overton window is skewed so far to the right like it is in the USA, what passes for centerism is still way off towards the right wing.

As if I didn’t already have enough reasons to avoid that retail hell.

Will there be a next guy?

The grim reaper spares no man.

Oh look, blatantly violating the first amendment.

Again

And I’m not even sure they are all that safe in Israel. Or their actions don’t seem to indicate that they feel safe.

Their actions have directly caused them feeling less safe.

When you forcibly take away territory from a neighboring people so you can give it to “settlers” from your country, you generate resentment and anger.

When you label an entire population as terrorists and kill a large portion of their people you create the next generation of angry orphans who will seek revenge against you.

Lots of colliqualism you dont really see on TV.

That and sharing are probably the biggest differences. Most people (and scripwriters) tend to “tame down” their language when on camera. They will shift more towards “standard” English (or what they perceive as standard), and use less colorful language.

The Canadian teams are at a financial disadvantage due to the exchange rate. They earn their revenue in Canadian dollars, but have to pay their salaries in US dollars.

Hopefully he pulls a Hitler

He doesn’t have the guts to do that.

Jeffries just said today “The American people don’t want us to get even; they want us to get things done on their behalf.”

Returning to enforcing laws is not the same as “getting even”.

Impressive loss by Republicans.

All it takes is for non-shitty people to actually show up.

American politics is confusing even for those of us who try to keep up.

that they put people in power whose #1 priority is addressing the cost of living crisis.

To do that they’ll have to look far below the surface at the actual root causes. And fixing that, even if they do everything 100% perfectly, will take a long time to accomplish.

Hopefully the American people have the patience and wisdom to allow that to happen, and don’t just toss them all out if there aren’t instant results. (I don’t expect the electorate to have either, but I am willing to be pleasantly surprised.)

or the kitchen who made your food

Assuming they actually get a share of the tip.

Which is never a safe assumption.

The expectation for tipping everyone all the time is another negative American export, but tipping a waiter at a sit down restaurant if they give good service has been the norm since my grandparents were young.

POS machines have tips enabled by default these days.

Even if it wasn’t asked for.

I sometimes volunteer to work the canteen at my local community center during tournaments and the POS terminal has tips enabled even though the board has asked the vendor for it to not be.

The volunteers are instructed to skip past the tip screen before we hand it over to the customers.

My boycott was never about the tariffs. It was about the threats to Canadian sovereignty.

That’s nice, but it won’t change anything for our boycotts, becasue the boycotts were never about the tariffs.

Fix your fascist problem, enforce the existing laws that those bastards have been ignoring and make it so they can’t regain control, then we can talk.

we desperately need to transition away from oil, both for climate reasons and because it’s a limited resource that will run low at some point

And being a limited resource, as the resource becomes increasingly depleted, there will be more excuses for bombing other countries to take control of their oil supplies. Which, beyond the reasons you laid out, is a damn good reason to transition away from burning oil to power things.
