Hopefully they will refuse to discuss violence, rendering the fighter jet useless

Right. The gear just gets sourced elsewhere. Even if they go for “second best” because the best has too many US strings.

The comparison between “Nanook” and “Chan” is misleading and not linguistically equivalent. “Nanook” originates from Inuit mythology and is not inherently a slur, while “Chan” has been used in explicitly mocking or derogatory ways. It’s important to recognize the context and history behind each term rather than assume they carry the same weight.

Just put tin foil in top, you’ll be fine.

Ironically, playing the field can get you fired from your job just like it can get you a divorce. If you say, “sure I might be open to new opportunities,” to the wrong people it might bet back to them.

I hope they can figure out a way, but it’s not any better if it kills a bunch of sea life.

Nanook is not inherently a racial slur. It means polar bear or “the master spirit of bear.”

Their instance is on Eskimo.com, which could be considered insensitive.

Just don’t watch “Nanook of the North” (1922), although it was some pretty interesting filmmaking for the time, it’s very racist.

If you feel strongly, the website has a phone number 😅

They only cared because it was a federal official.

Imagine meeting that person who thinks distributing condoms is a crime.

They get their tech somewhere else because it’s cheaper. All my company’s sales dropped internationally to a trickle, but my industry hasn’t “slowed” internationally.

Business is booming because the rich are so rich. They don’t want to live on land-with rules.
