Should all 4 major sports plus the NCAA consider stoppage of play to preserve the electricity in their cities?
Seems selfish to burn all that electricity and have folks watching it all on television, we need those things shut off immediately, this is a National Emergency
Maybe I should turn the breakers off

Excellent job all of you, just the type of humor we're looking for.

Now look this is more of an abstract thought that could be interpreted many ways, not meant to be taken literally of course

Why did you cut out the emojis I had that clearly indicated some level of playful sarcasm?

I would enjoy a thread on tarrif wars. I like this one with Canada, Im super curious at how it will end. Canada is a very proud, and not stupid, nation. They know the drugs arent coming across the northern border, yet here we are.

The most hilarious part is the export tax. I'm looking at it like..."You're gonna charge 25% more for stuff from our country?! Screw you, WE will charge 25% more for you to get stuff from our country! How do you like that????"I would enjoy a thread on tarrif wars.

That seemed unnecessarily rude. But, so we're on the same page, yes, you partially quoted something, tried to argue with it, but only after having removed an essential part of the post and making it easier to mischaracterize, then stated it was just to get it all in the small preview window for quotes. Sounds good. No idea if you intended to mislead people about the content of the post you quoted, but at least now you're aware that you managed to do so, and maybe you'll refrain in the future. And it it was intentional, at least you know you've been caught. LOL.Yes chief, I know.

I'll refrain from making any personal attacks. Especially when I know I am the more well-educated person in the discussion. I'll just point out it's a weird path to insult someone you've never met and know very little about.

Yes, and I apologize. It's been a tough week.
I appreciate you refraining from continuing the war of words. But while we're pointing things out, it is interesting that you called me on insulting someone I've never met and know very little about (guilty as charged) and then contend that you're the better educated person when we've never met and you know very little about me.
Although as RWE said: "Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds"
Peace.

Appreciate the kind apology.
I only contend it because very few people in the world are more highly educated than me, with enough degrees both baccalaureate and graduate that it's a running joke for friends and family. Anything is possible I suppose

Yeah, but one of those degrees is from Oklahoma.

So Oklahoma is having an emergency in getting accredited for national recognition of its degrees? That's what I'm hearing here?
I have to admit—or I'm stirring the pot here—I caught the sarcasm from the emojis. I thought it was clear but that's why meatspace is better on a certain level than digital living, which has communication limitations, even if the digital way of transcending distance and finding likeness makes it a better way to self-select one's companions. Once you've selected your peer group, the talk is stunted a bit.

Unfortunately that discussion is impossible to have here, it's inherently political. Blanket tariffs are such a bad policy decision for everyone, tariffs on certain sectors and areas can make a lot of sense.I would enjoy a thread on tarrif wars. I like this one with Canada, Im super curious at how it will end. Canada is a very proud, and not stupid, nation. They know the drugs arent coming across the northern border, yet here we are.

I think we all know the reason for the current tariff escalation but we can't talk about it here.
I will say that from what I've seen in American news reporting and sites where free political discussion is allowed, the thing that most American people miss is that it isn't even the tariffs that are primarily causing the anger of the Canadian people. It's the 51st state rhetoric. And that won't be forgotten for a very long time. I do think from the Canadian side the relationship is damaged for the long term. Probably not permanently but if the tariffs ended tomorrow, the US boycott would continue for at least the next few years.
