Fair point, but Americans have more levers they can pull like mass striking and protesting. If Canada were to invade the US, the US would invade back, likely with popular support as they’d just be “defending themselves”

Unfortunately the fix has to come from inside your own borders. You all have sacrificed way too much funding your military

It should and I genuinely don’t know why it hasn’t sooner. It should have happened in 2016

Agreed. The United States as a country is done

It serves as a base to block European assistance for the American invasion of us in Canada, along with Mexico and any other country Americans decide they want

Warmongering cespit of a country

How are we turning into the bad guys here

The US?? The US has been like this for a long long time but you guys have just dropped the charade and started attacking countries closer to home. Trump’s just too much of an idiot to come up with a half-believable sounding casus belli

He probably does but that’s just sort of the carrot those actually running things wave in front of his face IMO. The US is a rot-infested country

My unsourced and anecdotal explanation would be that inequality is one part of it with the other major part being global instability. I have zero desire to have children and the reasons are split just about 50/50 between affordability and the expectation that my theoretical child and/or I will die in a war or climate-related disaster. This has only been more reinforced with the US being the US and already throwing its bloated, rotting and explosives-filled carcass of a state onto other countries

At this point I feel like the US has greatly crossed over from being a potential threat to a major threat to Canada. We definitely do need our nukes back and I’d like to believe we’re working on it

Jesus Christ, fuck the USA

I think you’re misunderstanding my comment. I’m all for built in safeguards but it being a rather arbitrary hardcoded list is silly. Even keeping the existing arbitrary list would be fine to me if it was pulled from the database instead of being a copy/pasted list in the actual code

Ah, that’s good to hear. I’m still sketched out by the hardcoded blacklist of terms though. I’m very much a person against the sort of free speech that hinders other’s freedom to live without discrimination but the filter still seems so arbitrary and entirely the response to the dev’s own vandettas and that just gives me bad vibes.

On top of that, hardcoding English language terms to block is bad programming on a number of levels. Why isn’t it a configurable list? The hardcoded values don’t contain any other language variants so you can still have those communities if you speak something other than English (or just add an extra couple characters or anything really)

What, why 196? Actually why any of these? I get 4chan and greentext sort of(?) but even ignoring the terrible programming practices here, this is really stupid.

Edit: actually almost makes me regret switching to Piefed

Are you sure it doesn’t mean that Germans just breakdance on NYE?

I’ve never tried setting it up but apparently you can install a Java edition server mod to allow Bedrock players to join (so Xbox users and others)

Is it the rhetoric of “foreign ppl shouldn’t be having babies here?”

Yeah, pretty much. CTV, PostMedia (American owned BTW) outlets and honestly just the entire Canadian media landscape are rightwing leaning and have been carefully sowing anti-immigrant hate.

This article in a vacuum isn’t really wrong and it can be argued that it’s “just reporting the facts” but there’s a pattern of promoting articles repeatedly that are just gentle nudges in the direction of hating foreigners.

Yeah that’s what I thought too when I originally saw this article. It’s not a PostMedia network but it may as well be
