Eventually she moved on to someone else, and they look happy from what I can tell, so I'm happy for her.

Hah, same.

Would text me asking me to kill her, we'd talk late into the night about sh!t, tried to keep her happy.

Her next few relationships fell through, but I felt so guilty and sad that I just quit after a while.

Heh, worst part was that, I used to be a thousand times happier, and a hundred times calmer too, but after a while, I found my little way over to a place with new people and new problems, and let me just tell you, I met a lot of people who looked like y'all and had your names.

Might have been a place called the commonwealth of Free Nations.

Armour? What kind of stuff do they make in armour these days?

Just wanted to read a bit about the ship 'Bounty' on Wikipedia. Went from Bounty to Cpt. Bligh, back to Bounty, Tahiti, back to Bounty, read about the different types of sails and about the breadfruit. I think that shows a) how addictive Wikipedia can be and b) how bored I am. :)

To expand on the idea.

I am using this "They can take what they want" idea to give myself a number of armours to write for, and guns to develop.

So I can make plasma spewing guns and awesome power armour and only have to make leg and arm servos and sh!t.

Basically, useless stuff, but progressively better and sell-able models.

I've done that type of thing before, so I can relate. Just before, I looked up the movie Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?, which led to me looking up Spencer Tracy, which led me to the 1948 movie State of the Union (which, by my reading of the plot section, bears some parallels to Donald Trump's campaign for president), to the the 1948 Republican Convention, to Robert A. Taft.

Eh, there are these threats to leave for Canada every presidential election- they never seem to come of anything. That said, our Prime Minister may be a spend-happy member of the self-aggrandizing elite, but I'd still take him over that mess of a President-Elect any day of the week.

(Yes, yes- insert statement here about giving Trump a chance to see what type of a President he'll be as though he's the only elected representative in history who shouldn't be judged by his electoral promises...)

Most of Canada is actually quite humid in the summer. Ontario is encircled by the Great Lakes, the Maritimes border the Atlantic, British Columbia borders the Pacific, and Manitoba and Quebec are so filled with minor lakes that they're all humid as all get out. If you want to avoid humidity, you may be looking at the arid Prairies.

I mean, is it 80-100% humidity during a large portion of the year? If it's that bad, then I'd reconsider. I'm getting my "Canadian Experiance" from Elba Island on the border. It was extremely nice there.

If I were coming to Canada for the first time, I'd hit Quebec City, Montreal, and Ottawa. Quebec City is our oldest city and is filled with history- the Chateau Frontenac is basically as close as you're going to get to a Canadian castle. Montreal is, in my opinion, our most beautiful city with a lot of culture and things to do. And Ottawa is the capital and would be a more low-key way to end the trip- see Parliament Hill, hike in the Gatineau Hills, go shopping at the Byward Market. But, you know, do this in the summer.

Well, winter isn't humid, but it's well below freezing and spending any prolonged amount of time outside isn't likely anyways.

Again, to all of those liberals thinking about moving to Canada because Trump got elected. What's wrong with Mexico you racist bastards? Lol

In all seriousness though, only cowards flee. Especially when in 8 years max, things will go back to normal. If you really loved your country, then stay and fix things. I suspect however, that all the people that want to leave are nation-loathing, self-centered pricks.

Honestly, I wouldn't give liberals too much cr*p about moving to Canada, because at least they're consistent: Canada is probably much closer to their preferred vision of America. What I find amusing is conservatives who said they would move to Canada if Obama/Clinton/Sanders/etc was elected; Canada isn't exactly known to be a haven of right-wing politics (and I mean American right-wing, not Canadian right-wing), and I think such conservatives would be pretty disappointed if they actually did follow through with moving to Canada.

Aldaur

So I've been thinking about taxation. In my opinion, income tax is like a punishment for working and sales tax is like a punishment for buying, which is essential to a consumer based economy. Our tax code is also incredibly complex and leaves a lot of room for corruption and loop holes. So why not simplify it and tax the right thing? We should make it a flat tax on the value of property assets. The nice car you own? Taxed. House? Taxed. Random chair? Taxed. Children's plush toy? Taxed. Everything you own that has some monetary value should be taxed. This is a lot more fair because it calculates your true total wealth, and because the wealthy pay and have more, they will naturally pay in more. However, wealthy tend to store their wealth in banks, so we can easily make it so people with over 1 million dollars in the bank or stored somewhere else, have to pay a hoarding tax. It being a flat tax makes it simple and easy to understand, but because of what you're taxing, you have the same effect as having a progressive tax. Also, we should have tariffs to tax foreigners:p It's simple, effective and efficient.

Really? I've heard lots of Canada and, frankly, I think the same thing Jas thinks for that.

But seriously, people shouldn't leave the country. We still live in a democracy, even if it has its flaws (not talking about Trump here, but we do have flaws)

See, I agree in that if you really do love the US, you should stay and try to make the country a better place in their vision. I'm that way from a patriotic standpoint.

But I don't really shame people for wanting to leave either. I mostly just laugh because this always happens every election cycle. Maybe I'm too jaded, but seriously no one really is gonna leave except a few people.

I read Trump's proposal on what to replace Obamacare with. As far as free market proposals go, this one is actually quite decent. I have always been fond of having Health Savings Accounts, as it has worked quite effectively in Singapore.

Also, I have decided that I prefer offensive protectionism such as subsidies over defensive protectionism like tariffs.
