Well, they do want draftees and don’t want democracy.

So yeah…

I was specifically referring to charging a fee for using a credit card. But that apparently went away in 2022.

There are actually laws in some places in Canada against providing different pricing based on payment method. I worked at a store years ago that gave discounts for random things that were not payment methods that coincidentally only applied to people who paid cash.

The rewards thing, I run things through my credit card because of that. The only thing that the CC company makes money off of me directly for is the yearly charge.

We have Interac. Very few places don’t take it.

Co-badged cards have always existed since the beginning of Interac. Any card from PRE-Interac would have had Plus, Maestro or Cirrus co-badging. That’s not new. Your debit card also being usable as a credit card in no way takes away from what Interac does.

I have had an VISA debit for something like 15 years. I got one almost immediately after they became available. I don’t think I have used it as a credit card maybe ever. Interac only.

The only thing we don’t have at scale is credit run through Interac. If we allowed revolving credit, it would operate exactly the same as a credit card, but that’s currently not allowed.

Except you can report that and they’ll get punished

Pints of draft beer Consider the following:

A pint contains 20 fluid ounces (568 millilitres) in Canada.

• The limit of error for 20 fluid ounces is 0.5 fluid ounces (15 millilitres).
• The foam (head) is not included in the measurement.

It’s the only legal mechanism to remove a sitting president. I believe a majority of his cabinet has to get together and decide as a group that the obvious fact that he’s a pudding brained numnut is grounds for removal.

Note: I am not American and could have some points wrong, but it’s the only way to remove him.

Don’t let fact stand in the way of a good rant from a pudding brained imbecile.

No. Just no.

I had the (mis)fortune to watch the Trump movie with Sebastian Stan. I know it was made by people who don’t like him, but I walked away thinking, “Is he a closeted, self hating homosexual?”

A pattern of data points does point to a conclusion.

His mentor was an older man who took a shine to him and was gay. He likes talking about other men’s cocks and muscles. He seems to very openly hate women.

Sure. I’m not defending the punishment. But it is the same.

I don’t think that was whataboutism. That seemed to me like an expression of exasperation because they believe the current potus, being someone who has been found in court to have committed similar activities, seems to be let off the hook.

That’s a fair statement. They didn’t say that Cosby should get away with it because Trump did. That would be whataboutism.

Trump did receive a fine, the same as Cosby, so he did get the same punishment.

The man with pudding for brains is calling someone else low-IQ?

We need to rename Dunning-Kruger to just Trump.

I know nothing about her other than she is a ‘musician’, but those comments make her sound insufferable.

Losing arabs would be a feature, not a bug to that ghoul.

4D Chutes and Ladders

“unexpectedly”

Is that what the AI that wrote that section of the code told them?

I just read that back to myself, and 5 years ago, that would have sounded like a conspiracy wingnut stance. Scary that it’s legit today.

I don’t like that I have heard a non zero number of people on the Christian extreme that are cheering this on because they think that is the start of Armageddon and Jesus is coming.

Playing out that scenario for a minute. They’ll be really fucking shocked when the Jesus that shows up is a brown hippie and not a white Republican in a suit and that by their rules, they’re all going to the lake of fire, not the rest of us.

To be fair, US and Israel are mass murdering civilians in the US and Israel respectively too.

Even the thing that made him rich started as a way for him and people he let in to perv on women.

As shocking as this may seem, other countries have conventions and experienced people to run them too.
