No Facebook since 2016. No Twitter since ... I want to say 2021? It was sometime after the COVID-19 blow-up, fairly soon afterward. Never had Instagram or LinkedIn.
I guess I get bounced.
No, wait! They can't bounce me! I swore off setting foot on US soil ever again in 1999.
I wonder how they will treat people who don't have social media accounts?
Take a group of people who grew up without the need for any technical skills, put them in a car that is wildly complex and this is what you get.
I'm going to guess you work in some form of tech. If not, perhaps you should seek a career change because techbros love your attitude.
Me? I'm the diametric opposite. My devices work for me, not the other way around. If they fail at this, they get trashed.
Automobiles have had their UX smoothed out and nigh-perfected. It takes an arrogant tech twat to think that they know more than every design engineer who lived over the past century.
No, that's a common misconception.
You have the right to freeze your peaches, often shortened to freeze peach.
So much difficulty could have been avoided if people had learned to spell when writing that 2nd Amendment. (The US Constitution: So good it had to be fixed 27 times!)
Your business should not be sending you into danger like that when there's perfectly good alternatives like, you know, not going.
If you have family in the US, for the love of all that's Holy GET THEM OUT!
Why are Irish people even going to the US?
Why is ANYBODY from ANYWHERE going to the US?
Seriously, people. Stop that nonsense!
I should translate it for Americans then: 🖕.
😉
Thanks for the laugh. This brightened my day!
We also have people effectively indistinguishable from them which would make us invisible in the war of resistance, allowing operations deep behind enemy lines.
Keep in mind the USA couldn't win a war with people who looked very different from them. Oh, wait. That doesn't narrow it down very much at all. I mean I could be talking about Vietnam here. Or Somalia. Or Pakistan. Or Afghanistan. Or ...
Whichever I meant, though, the USA has consistently shown its inability to hold territory even when "us vs. them" was pretty clear to establish. What chance do you think they'll have when faced with people who look and talk just like them?
Wait, Russia and Israel just made a new defence deal? 'Cause Europe and Canada are no longer the USA's allies. I thought that was made pretty damned clear on Canada's side with the whole "elbows up" thing.
They haven't come for us in Canada yet, and in fact are in the "finding out" phase of the lesson in why they shouldn't.
Anybody who goes to the USA for tourism these days frankly deserves what they get. It's not as if we don't have six months of ever-increasing US shitfuckery to warn us!
