Yuuup, smashed a controller or two in my time, and quickly learned that I don’t like when my stuff breaks, and have to master my emotions better/find better ways to vent, and then I did. Wild to watch full grown adults who never learned the same, and are just… wasting money replacing things, I guess.

Ugh, it was fine during the endless parade of countries and athletes, but putting it in the middle of the best part of the show (the second major song) was so obnoxious, for 4 ads back-to-back that were all repeated elsewhere in the broadcast? I’m still quite annoyed about it. I understand needing to run a fair number of ads for funding reasons, but don’t undercut the best part by shrinking it and literally muting the music.

The only reasonable way forward right now is to play them off each other. You want us to continue doing trade with the US? Make us a less insane offer, and stop constantly issuing us threats.

We’ll work on making better deals with middle powers over time, but our short term security has to be more stable than Trump’s whims.

We will not be the 51st state.
