Yeah look back into uk political news over the past few weeks, this is almost certainly an indirect follow up to comments made about rejoining.

You fully cant exist in modern society without ethical problems. You draw your own line.

If you’re not giving money, and you’re ensuring your plex-shared friends arent giving money, thats a valid enough degree of separation for many, potentially most.

Several steps removed here.

Unlikely, most gamers are kids, most kids are totally agnostic to anything beyond the consumption of games.

I mean people play what they enjoy and not everybody cares about chasing frames.

Denuvo making games run worse is fucking garbage, but two things can be true at once.

Its already happening but the bigger accelerations (large amounts of space all affected at once) are projected between 2040 and 2060.

You abandoned the topic in favour of buzzwords first babe.

Lazy buzzword deflection, if you were paying attention to the conversation you should know the context has remained consistent.

If you arent, you’re just responding emotionally for some reason.

You’re confusing “countries can hold grudges” with “countries will permanently refuse mutually beneficial trade because of a previous administration.”

Countries don’t need to forgive or forget anything. They just need the trade to be in their interests.

Im British. I can see why you dogged on this for so long but there’s no gain in posturing here.

Realistically, there is no reason Canada wouldnt accept a favourable trade deal from the US if offered. That just isnt how the world works, if you think elsewise you haven’t been paying attention.

Yes with the implication being that you are being silly and im matching your energy while still conveying my general intent.

Keep up.

Because countries dont keep grudges with each other decades after the grudge initiator lost power.

Is that a frustrating attribute of a country with constantly shifting values?

Yes. Absolutely.

Will it stop anyone trading with them when those values are good? Not really, because at the end of the day holding grudges is for children.

That being said, if you slinging absolutes in outrage makes you feel better, I support that, you’ve every right to be outraged, but i’ll cant lie to you and say I believe your angry assertions.

Like I said, absolutes are for idiots.

You’re talking about the current situation, as you say, im talking about how it’ll go down the line.

Only the sith deal in absolutes.

Yeah totally, but it wont stop them from happening, it’ll just reframe the negotiations and the specifics they eventually land on.

And likely heavily in Canadas favour.

Definitely true but they’re saying insanity is more of an excuse, but being a fascist is inarguably condemnable.

Why would they be?

Trump’s deal is bad because he’s economically illiterate and has chosen to follow the advice of a crackpot economist. That doesn’t mean every future US administration will share his priorities or approach to trade.

A subsequent government could quite reasonably decide that rebuilding a stable, mutually beneficial trading relationship with Canada is in the US interest.

Canada would be right to be suspicious and play hard to get at that point, and when that happens they’ll probably do quite well out of it.

And yet, watch what happens.

What you’re saying feels good in the moment, you’re right about that.

I highly doubt that, in a future with a less cunty US government it serves no one to hold a grudge.

Be careful about what’s offered, sure, but grace beats spite every time.

They’ll be crawling back with apologies that Canadians will benefit massively from in a couple of years.

Probably trying to avoid unintended defenestration.
