He's more Machina than Massassian, now.

Nikumubeki is the most Massassian of the Massassians.

I should have said Manssassian.

It's too late for me, my son. I must obey my Sega Drunken Master Control Program System.

I'm still waiting for Cool Matty to show us the true nature of Massassi.

It's behind the Secret of Monkey Island.

You should appologize to yourself for wasting so much time on massassi.net instead of ACTUALLY doing these great things you always "talk" about other people NOT doing. YOU'RE A SMART PERSON AND YOU WASTE MORE TIME THAN I DO PROCRASTINATING. But I guess you're canadian and can't help it.

> Conservatives are exactly like me.... I was, they're intelligent

No Jon'C. They probably don't waste their time on small niche websites arguing against 1 other guy for no ****ing reason. You are a waste of human flesh and blood (Sounds like an insult but really, it's a compliment, you are a talented person please don't waste it)

I'm out. Again, for at least a year.

oh waow ok

I might seem a lost cause to you anyway, Zanardi, but Jon's posts have made me a better person (I like to think). He's certainly made me realize how much I have to learn.

Unless your post was entirely meant humorously, and I just missed the point yet again....

I'm going to do it. I'm going to beat Jon'C's record.

By posting...

dude wat

I liked my last post in this thread more.

Let's figure out something better to do w/ that human flesh and blood you're squandering there.

Sounds good. I'm squandering about 10 hours a week on video games and internet, so I'm really looking for a way to drive that wasted time down to zero and also myself to suicide. Thanks in advance and god bless.

Gotta be honest tho, the part of zan's post that bugged me the most wasn't the personal stuff, it was the part where he claimed that rich conservatives don't argue on the internet. That's an incredible assertion considering his country just elected a billionaire conservative forum troll as president.

Edit: And his cabinet? Jesus Christ. Peter Thiel alone is worth three Trumps, both in liquidity and in time spent trolling.

I don't think you're being fair. Based upon the guy's posting history, we're talking developmental challenges.

~1 year later, are you happy about the election outcome on some level? (I ask out of sincere curiosity)

I didn't vote for Trump, but I was pleased by the prospect of lower taxes.

I was also shocked by this necro-post.

I voted for Life of Grismath.

Oh, I'm thrilled. I think there are going to be a lot of good things that come out of a Trump presidency:

For starters, NAFTA can go to hell. Free trade really means "unequal trade", because individuals and small businesses don't have the resources to take advantage of globalization, but most acutely experience the consequences of it. The result is that, basically, free trade is just another hand-out to huge corporations, who get privileged access to certain arbitrage opportunities that drive their costs down far below what is possible for a local manufacturer dealing with local suppliers. So I'm not a fan of free trade on an economic basis. NAFTA's even worse than that, though; like every other free trade agreement negotiated by the US, it effectively subordinates all signatory governments to a secretive panel of pro-trade, pro-corporate arbitrators. Effectively what this means is, if a certain law - an environmental protection or public health law, say - would cause a foreign corporation to lose expected profit, the government that passed the law must compensate the corporation. Which is purestrain bull****. So if the US follows through on their intention to renege upon NAFTA, it will at worst give Canada the opportunity to do the same, which is fantastic.

Second, Trump is the third in a series of high-profile examples of public faithlessness in democracy causing a horrific result. First we had Boaty McBoatface, then we had Brexit, and now we have President McPresidentface. I hope Canadians can learn from this and we can avoid Prime Minster McPrime Ministerface.

So I think it'll be fairly good for Canada.

For America, though? Ahaha.

Regarding taxes: TBH I haven't paid a lot of attention to Trump's tax plan (I won't be a US tax resident by then), but basically from what I've gathered you shouldn't expect much. It's same-or-worse from $115k up to $410k, which pretty safely covers the competitive SV tech track salary range. (I'm guessin' you aren't a technical fellow, or a director/VP.)

Hey Jonothan do you like that justin trudeau.

hey hey fallout 4 hey

hey

I'm not, but I'm married and file taxes jointly, so we will benefit.

Thanks for the vote, FGR!

Making it rain, huh?

A lovely recent example is Philip Morris vs Uruguay. Uruguay elected a former oncologist as president and he went straight to implementing anti-smoking measures. Philip Morris used a Swiss-Uruguayan trade agreement to sue Uruguay for lost sales. Uruguay is not a rich country and it looked like PM was using them as an example to other poorer nations that can't easily afford to fight massive multinational corporations. Thankfully the court ruled in Uruguay's favour but it took 6 years to reach that conclusion this summer.
