MS did a shift like that already. The shift from MS-DOS to NT was transparent to the vast majority of people to the point that most people didn’t realize they were two different OSes.

I don’t see why they couldn’t do it again. NTVDM was similar in concept to what wine does. Imagine if MS actively contributed to wine, or a wine like project.

Let’s give them credit. Maybe their first experience was installing Gentoo, which is when Windows is better.

You speak too highly of him.

I would also like to apologize to you for not taking you being neuro-atypical into account. I understand how difficult it must be for someone with your kind of hyper fixation disorder. It must be very difficult for you, being completely unable to let something go, in spite of your correctness, or in this case, lack thereof. Have you considered fluoxetine?

I already apologized for over estimating your intelligence. Now let me apologize for over estimating your maturity. I understand how difficult it is for some people to regulate themselves. I will do better next time and not assume everyone has the emotional capacity of a functional adult.

I sincerely apologize to you for not explaining myself better. Some people are just incapable of understanding nuance and deeper meaning. I forget that some people lack complex reasoning skills.

I will do better next time for people like you.

The power threat was export tariffs, at least a threat from anyone with actual power. The problem being, I don’t think the guy making the threat had that legal power, which is why I’m believe it disappeared.

I think…

I’m pretty sure only the Federal Government has that power, though I might be wrong.

Nice ad hominem

I’m sorry my point went over your head. That’s no reason to lash out.

All I hear is, “I’m doing things that have literally no effect, so I’ll keep doing them so I can feel like I’ve done my part.”

OK then. None of that has worked, but I’m sure you can sleep fine at night, while millions of people who until 6 months ago were your friends and allies are terrified that your country will destroy us. But by all means, let’s worry about a library. Because history books will stop us from getting invaded.

Also, since you have decided to call me an idiot, I’ll return the favour.

You know this isn’t about the fucking library right? I have no idea how more clear I could have been. It’s really no suprise a nitwit won, because at least he understood the message, even if he literally understands nothing else.

You just keep doing nothing while the fascists destroy your country, and I will worry about mine.

Serious question… how can you see with your head that far up your own ass?

I’ll post again something i posted elsewhere. I’m sitting here in 1937 Poland and the Orange Oberbefehlshaber is looking for every way possible to fuck my country over, so as to inflict enough economic harm to weaken us in advance of an attempt to conquer us. When the tanks roll past my house, who many fucks do you think I’ll give whether the driver is “one of the good ones” or a Trump voter?

And before the “herp de derp de derp… he won’t invade Canada”, you need to understand, “WE CANNOT AFFORD TO DISBELIEVE HIM” when he announces his intentions to try to take us over. Especially when, he didn’t say he wouldn’t, he said, “Highly unlikely”. That’s not a no.

So, the sitting President King of the United States by saying unlikely, and not no circumstance, has announced that a military attack on our country is possible, while the leader of Vichy Alberta is playing the “we’re struggling under the yoke of an evil Canadian government” and flying to Mar-a-lardo to kiss the ring of Tangerine Palpatine, setting up a scenario nearly identical to the one playing out in Ukraine.

And you think I give two shits about who uses that fucking library? Resistance at every point, at every opportunity. No inch, no quarter must be given.

The library will already be ruined. A large part of it is in Canada and is now blocked to Canadians.

There is no reason to do that beyond the people running the US are petty liars and shit-heads.

Did you miss the part where I called it stupid?

Does any power or water or sewage systems come from the Canadian side? If so, they should be cut off. Not to mention, a fence should be constructed inside to block off American illegals from crossing into Canada. Even better, put a border check point there.

If they want to go stupid, we can go full stupid.

And the bigly brained free market capitalists in his party will cheer while he targets a corporation for engaging in free market capitalism.

I’m old enough to remember when a group of people this collectively deluded were kept in asylums.

Hollywood isn’t really US anymore.

CW might as well be called the Vancouver network. Star Trek is mostly filmed in Toronto. I watched an “American” movie yesterday filmed in Spain and Scotland. Even a lot of “American” people in Hollywood aren’t.

There is no separation possible without him destroying Hollywood. Or, it’ll be just the Evangelical Christian movies left. Even Hallmark films in Canada and they are as US as they come.

If you proclaim something and it happens because no one stopped you, you are king.

O’Brien was Irish. He would spell labour properly.

He’s just ignoring it anyway.

This is the point where he lost me

“I really thought things would change after this administration, when we have Mr. Trump in office, things would change to the better,” Atallah said. “Things actually changed to the worse.”

He voted for this. I have no sympathy for him.
