In the MLP show, Weird Al voices the character "Cheese Sandwich", who is basically just a pony version of him. In the final episode of the show, he is shown married to Pinkie Pie and they have a son.

You think a U.S. military base isn’t getting kicked the fuck out of a foreign country the moment they are declared an enemy?

No, or rather I don't think many countries would immediately be willing declare them an enemy. Europe shies away from armed conflict and quick, decisive actions unfortunately aren't our strong suit either. I'd fully expect a drawn out political shitshow before anything actually happens. As was/is the case for Ukraine.

Or do you have such a little opinion of everyone else that you think a couple of military bases will immediately take over every European county at once?

Take over? No. But I do think they'd be a deterrence factor, especially considering they also carry nukes.

The name change is meaningless. Ultimately a distraction while Elon and his buddies take control of all government agencies.

What would be the reaction of the Canada King (Charles III is the king of Canada)?

Absolutely nothing. Maybe some strong words. He has no power.

The Commonwealth? NATO?

Tough to say. Getting actively involved in a war in North America would be very difficult logistically for the European countries or the Commonwealth, so I don't think there would be an immediate military reaction. Possibly a Ukraine-type situation where the NATO countries try to aid Canada with equipment as best as they can. But even that will be difficult across the Atlantic ocean, which the US can probably blockade. Local politics would be absolute chaos, with an ally that many countries have relied on suddenly turning enemy. With the US having military bases everywhere, they could also threaten countries into keeping out of the war. I think the situation would unfortunately be quite bleak for Canada.

My dad fell quite ill after a blood transfusion (had been fighting CLL for ~25 years). He died 2 days later.

Es gibt schon auch kulturelle römische Prägung. Da würde mir zum Beispiel direkt der Weinbau einfallen, der über die Römer nach Südwestdeutschland kam. Und auch die starke Wirtschaft kann wie im Artikel erwähnt zumindest zu einem gewissen Teil damit zusammenhängen, dass die römischen Regionen schon viel früher eine komplexe Wirtschaft und gute Infrastruktur in Form von Straßen etc hatten. Halte die These für zumindest nicht vollkommen abwegig, auch wenn es mit Sicherheit nicht der einzige Faktor ist.

The best way is not to interact with them at all. You're not going to gain anything from responding to them.

And make Tesla more money by selling replacement windows? Nah. If you need to let out your anger on random people's cars, buy some "Fuck Elon" stickers and stick those on the back.

The views expressed are more to the left and much more anti big-tech, which makes sense. Discussions are a bit more civil on average and there seems to be much less blatant karma-farming. At least that's the case on my instance, which blocks some of the more... controversial ones. Speaking of which though, the differences between various instances do shape discussions on Lemmy quite a bit, which Reddit of course doesn't have. You can often have a pretty good guess on a user's attitudes, political views and demeanor just by looking at their instance.

The expectations will probably be different between cultures but personally, nothing. It's a gift after all, giving them money for it would make it a business transaction. Of course, when there's an opportunity, I'd give out some food or drinks to my friends as well.

Weil wahrscheinlich gerade solche Artikel für neue Abonnenten sorgen. Du hast schon recht dass es für die Demokratie wichtig wäre, aber am Ende des Tages sind das eben profitorientierte Unternehmen.

I've learned French in school for 5 years, but I only speak it on a relatively basic level, despite living very close to France and crossing the border quite often. Not too big of a deal though, as many people in Alsace also speak a German/Alemannic dialect.
