American wildfire smoke is drifting into Canada.
Naturally, Canada will respond with tariffs on oxygen, clouds and prevailing winds.
Oh wait, we’re not morons.

@ddp "they didn't agree with me so it's corruption.... Oh and a giant NSA conspiracy too!"

@senatejr Oh fuck off. It was over 8% in 1994 and on top of that they made me buy mortgage insurance on my first house. "You think I can't afford my mortgage so you're gonna charge me more per month?" Yup, that's right
English

BOOMER: “Stop renting. Build equity.”
ME: “The down payment is $84,000.”
BOOMER: “Save up.”
ME: “I save $500 a month. That’s 14 years.”
BOOMER: “Get a better job.”
ME: “I make $72,000.”
BOOMER: “We bought our first home at 24.”
ME: “Your mortgage rate was 3%. Your house cost $67,000.”
BOOMER: “That’s not my fault.”
ME: “Maybe not.”
But you keep voting for policies that make housing less affordable…
Then you wonder why your kids can’t afford a home or why they’re angry about it.

@Gryffix If the women produced more than the men then why did they sue for "equal" revenue?
English

The 'they produce less revenue' argument also doesn't fly here because the US women's team generates more than the men.

She won two World Cups for the United States. Her pay cheque said she was worth less than the men who couldn't qualify. She took it to court.

@LJ_Gilmour Then why bring it up? We're bitching about wildfires NOW. And your response is "but a Canadian died sometime in the past in Colorado"? How is that even relevant?
Are we supposed to say. "Oh well then do nothing and let the fire burn!"?
English

@sillyrabbitfafo That's a very ignorant comparison. Your forest fires start in your forests. Our hurricanes start in West Africa.

@Randaroo1212 Who did he rape? And what proof do you have?
(Don't tell me about the defamation case he lost)

@PatCSportsFan why do you keep turning off replies? What a baby....
English

@AngrySchneider_ Yea that is stupid because hurricanes form in West Africa. But the wildfires are all your own and you could make them less polluting if you'd manage your forests better.

In Georgia I entered a Chick-fil-A drive-thru line of forty cars.
I turned off my engine. I prepared to wait the way my ancestors waited out a siege.
Six minutes later I was holding chicken.
I do not know what happened to the other thirty-nine cars. The line moved like water that had somewhere to be.
A young woman walked between the cars taking orders on a small tablet, on foot, in the sun, smiling like the sun was her idea.
I said thank you.
She said, "My pleasure."
I did not think about it then. I should have.
At the window I thanked the young man for the food.
"My pleasure."
I thanked him for the sauce.
"My pleasure."
I thanked him for thanking me—
"My pleasure."
I want to be clear about what was happening.
This was a duel.
In Japan I trained in courtesy for forty years. Bowing angles. Seasonal greetings. The correct depth of apology for seventeen distinct situations.
I was a white belt in that drive-thru.
I escalated. I used my most formal English. I thanked him on behalf of my entire family line.
He said, "My pleasure," and gave me extra sauce.
Extra sauce. Unprovoked. A counterattack.
I returned the next day to reclaim my honor.
It was Sunday. The restaurant was closed.
All of them were closed. In the entire country. They close every Sunday, and they have closed every Sunday since the beginning, because the founder made a promise, and the promise did not expire when he did.
I stood in the empty parking lot and understood I had lost twice.
Once to a teenager with sauce.
Once to a man I will never meet, who kept his word so long it became a building.
In my country we say a samurai's word is his life.
I had never seen a restaurant say it back.
I returned Monday. I ordered. And this time I said it first, before she could.
"My pleasure."
She smiled and said, "It sure is."
America, I surrender.
It was my pleasure.

@AzPetrich They didn’t determine he’s a rapist. They said he defamed the woman. She, on the other hand, said rape was “sexy”.
