Random Rants ΠΑ: That's a paddlin'

[The_J]

I have a lingering cold now for a few days, and I'm fearing a bit it'll kick me over tonight, due to the tough day I had .
Also an itsy-bitsy eye infection related to it :/.

Small rant: I was writing a long email to someone, with multiple paragraphs.

Mozilla Thunderbird turned it into a huge wall of text.

I suppose I should update the ‘Americas News thread’.

Did something happen?

Chile's deeply exclusionary privatised model is crumbling, Evo Morales has perpetrated compounded electoral fraud in Bolivia, Ecuador is not quite yet tame, Peru is still on tenterhooks, Brazil is run by a Trump-like figurehead, Venezuela is collapsing, Argentina might vote in a coalition of drug-dealers and feudal governors who have included abolishing the independent judiciary in their manifesto, Colombia still has an insurgency… :/

OTOH as things develop the Pope might finally allow married men to join the Latin Rite as priests and there's mounting pressure to being the process to allow for the ordination of women.

...Any plans on escaping? Canada is nice.

 

[Takhisis]

Well… Canada is a country that makes a lot of money by pretending it is not basically mining the crap out of this world, poisoning the country's waters with arsenic and other products involved in/released by their extraction techniques, and it somehow has a scumbag of a Prime Minister who actively encourages that (doing it to the indigenous populations, but who cares about those?) and gets away with being allegedly progressive.

Also, Canada has snow for Christmas. I cannot contemplate a non-warm Christmas without a poolside barbecue. It's just… inconceivable.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

But you can build snowmen.

 

[Takhisis]

Poolside. Barbecue.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Snowmen!

And the job thing?

 

[AdamCrock]

Snowmen!

Are You asking a lumberjack can he cut a tree ?

 

[Synobun]

If every other country is an irredeemable hellhole you'd rather die before living in, you might consider complimenting Argentina more often due to its superiority.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

And the job thing?

You are multi-lingual and you are talking to someone in the business of building homes that are anticipated to sell as vacation rentals and create a flood of tourist dollars...you think the job thing is a problem?

Argentina is not as far as superior I disagree !

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Maybe all of us should pool our money and buy an island and start our own country.

Though I'll let you argue over who's going to be president/prime minister/dictator/whatever.

It's not so much a ‘die before living in’ but a ‘why should I move if the target destination has huge problems as well, I have no friends or connections except a crazy Dutchman who wants to kill me and/or beat me at videogames and I'd have to leave an entire life, including family, behind?’

btw you should praise Canada and more specifically your landlord based on this pov

I'm totally drunk, and Mr KB is asleep on the couch. There's nothing I can do about that.
