I would also say Nike WANTS to be a lifestyle brand, but in public perception they haven't been able to move out of an athletic shoe brand.
>You seem to want to finish this argument without actually looking at any statistics. I provided statistics on deaths and put the US in scope, and asked for you to provide proof of your claim the US is singularly the…
Canada has etransfer/interact which works well. >How much do you trust your government with your money? Well I'm in Canada, I would trust the govt and the banks with my money before I trust anyone else (yes yes, trucker…
Have you actually looked at the numbers or are you just bound and determined to stick to your opinion regardless of facts or reality? As shown, the US isn't the top or the majority of deaths in war over your chosen time…
Anyone paying attention may have been mislead as you have been, but your own sources highest estimates aggregated (which is likely 1.5-2x higher than reality) put the US around 1/5 of all deaths combatant and civilian…
Down 6% in premarket, will have to wait and see but likely wont help them much as tariffs will impact a significant amount of their products regardless.
I certainly wont disagree with the US not representing any moral heights especially now, however do you have sources for the US being particularly egregious in relation to its peers in its actions?
Opposite advice. Take the best equipment and enjoy the game the most, focus on strategy with the increased options and capabilities. So much time and frustration wasted with inferior equipment that sucks the life out,…
>You don't treat every possible hypothesis as potentially valid. Wrong, you consider and reject hypothesis if we're being specific about the scientific method. In this case, this is a testable question that could be…
This is exactly the question I was asking, thanks for your input. I know the highlighted examples of 'bad behaviour' in waymo's are somewhat sensationalized, but its hard to quantify how that translates to impacting…
I wouldn't say its contrived, but I agree its important to take such questions and back them up with data. My question is open in that we don't really HAVE data to measure that statement in any meaningful way. The…
Is crash the best indicator of success? I know some really bad drivers that have almost no 'accidents', but have caused/nearly caused many. The cut off others, get confused in traffic and make wrong decisions etc...…
We're talking about the average citizen with a rifle and no training against a dictator/tyrant. In Ukraines case, that civilian group was not initially effective at stopping the attack, but your example of the defence…
My point is untrained, inexperienced and under-equipped civilians have little chance against a military. Once you start giving them training, organizing and arming them with a logistics arm backing them the discussion…
Yeah. I mean its been obvious to many they're full of shit for decades, but that was the 'If anyone still thinks they aren't full of shit after this" line...
Yes the Territorial Defence forces in Ukraine, an example of government backed reserves/semi-trained forces with equipment far beyond the oversimplification of "rifles". Actual untrained civilian forces with nothing but…
We will have to disagree on this. >unless military decides to level all cities in the country. See Gaza, most of eastern Ukraine. The existence of armoured equipment, air support, satellite monitoring and encrypted/EW…
Its usually not hugely controversial, but there is that small minority here too... Some points I feel compelled to make: About 52% of URBAN voters support outright firearm bans but that number goes down when rural is…

The best take of the current US situation is still "NRA fails to live up to its only reason for existing and doesn't stand up to the tyrannical government"
Agreed! As a Canadian, I'd love to see a resurgence of Cadets, Reserves and other methods of training civilians in proper gun use, self defence and methods to integrate with militias/military command in the event we…

As a Canadian, this is increasingly becoming my best case scenario. Hopefully we can maintain our independence, and many of the freedoms and judicial process the US is currently destroying, although there are some…
