Nitrogen would be better. CO and CO2 both affect the human body in negative ways that tells the person "hey somethings wrong" or confuses them enough into thinking they're fine.

The human body has no way of knowing if it takes in nitrogen though, so you can be perfectly fine conscious and happy one second, the air changes to nitrogen and suddenly you're on the floor unconscious. If nobody collects you in time, well your brain can't live without oxygen.

I'd be happy to join a Canadian foreign legion. I view protecting Canada from foreign aggression my patriotic duty as a fellow human being, and neighbor.

Besides, once upon a time I swore an oath to protect my country from threats foreign and domestic, so I am honor bound to fight alongside Canada against the biggest threat the US has ever faced.

I'm not sure how many Americans would join me, or how receptive Canadians would even be to a bunch of tacticool looking non-professionals with guns showing up and CLAIMING to want to help, but I'm positive there will be americans fighting back. Whether it's on the front lines with guns, or with sabotage in the states, who can say.

Sounds like your friend is just lame.

In seriousness, 99.999999% of people will live a "normal" life, and very occasionally, someone might have a time or two that elevates it above "normal". The percentage of people who live "above" normal lives is so tiny, physicists would laugh at you for using so many decimal places.

Wanting more isn't a problem unless that desire is killing what you have to be happy about now.

In other words, "don't let perfect get in the way of good"

And I’ve heard all the platitudes.

I like to make people uncomfortable when they start going on about how my wife and I should have kids. She had a TL and I had a vasectomy. I usually start off with "kids are off the table for us."

We SHOULDN'T have kids because genetics on both our families are shit.

We WON'T have kids because they're awful to deal with 90% of the time, and neither of us feel that the world will be a livable place in their lifetime so it would be cruel to have children anyway.

We CAN'T have kids because the medical procedures.

If someone gets pushy about it, I act emotional, burst out that after so many miscarriages we have given up on children and the person should learn to take a hint.

So far nobody has had anything else to say after that.

Non-uniformed chucklefucks claiming to be law enforcement while acting like gang members and thugs, getting ready to break into a house?

Sounds like a good time for armed resistance to arrest the clearly illegal kidnapping or robbery. If they are armed and make any move toward weapons, there is only one response. Defend your life, and defend the victims, with all the force necessary to do so.

I actually think ICE WANTS this to happen so they can justify being even harsher or just straight up executing people in the street. It's not like law enforcement hasn't executed someone in front of dozens of witnesses while being recorded...

Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

organized armed minorities make politicians afraid.

Honestly the biggest problem with being left and armed, is finding other people with similar views to organize with. Specifically because we don't advertise and make it half of our entire personality (usually).

A 7 million fine for stealing 1 billion in profits.

Just another day in late stage capitalism.

Of course someone usually has to go to jail for something so public, so Steve from accounting is getting his "jailbird bonus" and will be admitting to fraud, and spend 4 months in a ~~hotel~~ cushioned cell. He also gets weekends off.

In my experience, it's either total incompetence of the people in charge, or it's malicious in order to "catch" people doing something bad.

Like a bait car, but way more malicious since the person getting in the metaphorical car doesn't even know it's not their car because the keys worked, and nobody bothers stopping them for a few days so they get extra criminal charges.

Uhhhhhh you should probably at least drain out the placenta fluid...

My first thought was ".... Again? They need some better contraceptives" but no, it's the same one... A shame, that would open the door for so many jokes.

I believe their comment was in reference to this.

So basically, yes. Kill everyone they can.

I only learned about hostilities between the two countries after about 28-30 years on the planet (thanks, US edumacation system) and I still don't think I understand why they don't get along...

To any who are stuck in their countries as their governments choose the stupidest possible actions, you have my sympathies, and I wish you well in the coming days.
