His mistake was to threaten to annex Canada alongside with it. That threat immediately united and galvanized all Canadians to fight him tooth and nail.

Back when I was still on Reddit, I made a comment on a chess sub saying that in chess you are not allowed to make your king "commit suicide" to explain how a stalemate works. One day later I got a message about suicide prevention because someone flagged me for promoting suicide.

What a dumb site.

If you cover it in a glow in the dark material, preferably something that glows bright for a relatively short period of time, people could make drawings on it.

I used to do the top left one. But it wasn't ADHD, it was acute depression.

Canada has the best weapon of all: Time. Things might get rough, but we all know that Trump has been getting old. Even if it takes longer than we hope, our economy will adapt to new markets, because it is what economies do.

Just look at what Ukraine has been surviving through for crying out loud. We have it way easier in comparison.

Canada will outlive Trump.

Costco and Loblaws in my area. Costco is even more annoying because it yells instructions on how to use the machine at you at every step. Every time. The moment you approach the machine it yells at you to scan your membership card. Then it yells at you to scan your items. Then it yells at you to put it in the bag area. Then it yells at you to use the PIN pad. Then it yells at you to thank you for shopping at Costco.

I'm wondering how many people got kicked out of the store already for snapping and yelling back at the machine to STFU.

One thing that has been annoying me lately are self checkout machines. They play the same pre-recorded message every time you're done using them. Some pointless message in the lines of "Thank you for using self checkout" or "Thanks for shopping with us". You've heard it a dozen times already from the surrounding machines by the time you complete your transaction and then it yells it at you. I feel terrible for the employee who has to stand there all day and have this stupid 3 second recording be the soundtrack of their day. I only have to listen to it for five minutes every week and I hate it already. This message must be playing in their nightmares at night.

They'll use all sort of dirty tricks just like the Gestapo did, like making you say the letter "Z", or making you spell the word "colour".

As a Canadian I fail to see how this will ever make me want to join the US.

Canada will outlive Trump.

Bobbing their heads at every step. How ridiculous must have that looked if it was the case.

I am running multiple screens from different brands. Because they are not the same, they must be set to different brightness values to look the same.

The problem is that whenever I boot up, the Plasma brightness setting is changed, or Night Light kicks in, Plasma sets all my screens to the same value. This results in one screen being too bright and the other too dark. Every time this happens I must change the value back manually in my screen's built-in menu, which is annoying.

In the Gamma settings panel there appears to be an upcoming feature where different screens can be set to different values but it is grayed out for the moment (running Plasma 6.0.4 on Tumbleweed).

How do I disable this feature while I'm waiting for the ability to set individual brightness values to individual screens to come around?
