Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.
Spent many years on Reddit before joining the Threadiverse as well.

No matter what, conventional war is horrific and wed be losing our families, homes, friends, and more.
Which is why I said “preventing America from invading in the first place would be ideal”
You cant make nukes loudly in such a situation, but ass we’ve seen, you definitely cant make them under the gun.
Right, it would be done before the US invades, to prevent them from invading. Nuclear weapons are deterrence, you don’t want to actually use them.


I doubt they have a kill switch in the sense of making the jet fall out of the sky at the push of a button. But if they can stop you from updating its software or maintaining it that’ll render it useless pretty quickly, so that’s close enough IMO. They just need a little lead time on their invasion plans.


I think we’d do not badly in a conventional war when you factor in the fact that the Americans would be fighting on two fronts - within Canada against Canadians, and within America against the substantial chunk of Americans who would be trying to bring down the regime that was causing something as insane as an invasion of Canada to be undertaken. Plus there’d be international support at play. It would be a huge mess. Canada would just need to make the mess as big and as long as possible.
That said, preventing America from invading in the first place would be ideal, so the more preemptive preparation to strengthen Canada’s position and weaken America’s the better. Shifting our military supply lines to European sources is a step in that direction for many reasons. I do think a nuclear deterrent would be ideal, but that’s a couple of steps of escalation further down the line I think.


Did you hammer signs into the ground claiming that territory for your country? Had your country recently made military threats against American sovereignty, and had your country’s military recently killed 76 citizens of a country near America in extrajudicial slayings while claiming that they were doing the things you’re threatening America over?
It’s hardly a similar situation to that right now. Tensions are high, America is a serious threat.
Very much this. There are some views that are so pervasive here that people don’t realize that alternative views are even possible, that anyone who says otherwise must be faking or trolling in some manner.


This just in: single-issue activist explains why one issue is the only issue that should be considered in future planning.


Or, it’s a way to generate songs about whatever topic or in whatever style that you personally are interested in. That’s what I use it for.


There are plenty of movies where the CGI is creating elements that could well be real, like people or buildings. There was a movie recently where rather than go through the legal hassle of having live horses on set they just CGIed every last shot that contained a horse, even if they were just standing around in the background. You’ve no doubt watched plenty of CGI imagery that you had no idea was CGI. It looked good, that was all.


When you watch a movie with computer-generated special effects, are you happy watching a lie?


If 97% of listeners can’t tell the difference then I’m not sure the point of quibbling the definition.


Unless you enjoy music regardless of whether it’s AI generated, in which case the future’s going to have way more options.


Turns out a lot of people like how it sounds.


You can be the change you want to see.


And also distractions. And to be a “wartime president.” Lots of stuff here.


The funny thing is that we have been doing a lot about it lately, most launch providers these days take care to ensure that their spent boosters reenter and satellite operators include provisions for moving them to graveyard orbits when they’re done.
Except China, who have continued to be rather sloppy when it comes to disposing of their boosters. Maybe this will give them a nudge.


Don’t jump to conclusions. Jimmy’s “intervention” has been largely rejected by the Wikipedia community, and it wasn’t much of an intervention to begin with.


According to Wikipedia Venezuela has a single submarine whose operational status is unclear. It also has only a single missile frigate, with the rest of its navy being a few dozen patrol boats and gunboats.
Venezuela isn’t going to be attacking that carrier group. At best it’ll try to shoot down US aircraft and missiles that are actively bombing them.


I’d also be concerned about the physical capacity of the Threadiverse to handle such a huge influx of users all at once. A lot of instances might get overwhelmed.
It’s so that the readers can tell who’s being talked about at a glance, not weird at all.
