That's weird Canada had austerity in the 90s and we didn't get fascism.

I love concrete as a medium but that's got to be heavy af and I would manage to smack my elbow on it all the time as well as smash my coffee mug on it.

Because your concern is not real. It wasn't a nazi salute period. You are seeing things. Get your eyes checked.

You wouldn't want to work for a genius? Probably the most significant person alive today?

How much computer do you need to make them work like Sonnet 4.5 from claude but locally?

weirdmantis69 — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 18:11:50 +0000

So you are saying it was basically immigration that broke Britain. Looks that way to me too.
