US already has 50 and adding another star is so much more a pain in the ass.

We don't want you. Split into 50 countries and we'll deal with the sane ones. We could make an American Union. But we won't merge

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah, I don't want me either :/

California, Oregon, Hawaii and Washington consent to this agreement. Where do we sign?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

As an Oregon resident, I would be all for this. CA alone would be a pretty good chunk of federal taxes.

Canada doesn't want to be responsible for that dumpster fire.

Too late my Canadian brother, HertzDentalBar let us in. I promise to learn to speak Canadian and the words to our "hey Canada" anthem.

I've got to tell you, even joking about being Canadian take a huge weight off my shoulders. I didnt realize how much stress I was carrying around. Everyone try it, pretend Canada just made a deal to take your state over and you're now Canadian. Feels so good doesnt it.

They couldn't handle our freedom, national debt, gun violence, or rednecks. We would suceed inside of a week and Ontario would say "huh, what? Ok, whatever. Sorhry." I know the capitol of Canada is Ottawa, but that is the level of concern and relief to the Canadian populous and Parlament. We are the crazy partner you fuck with but couldn't sustain a relationship with because of how degen we are, but you keep cumming back because we got that good good dollar dollar bill y'all.

We would bankrupt the Canadian healthcare system within days.

That's genius, But treat them as a territory, they don't get the be a province. But our current territories should be made provinces first, they deserve better representation especially with climate change making the areas more comfortable for living.

you drive a hard bargain, we accept. You can even alter the deal and add more terms, but I warn you we will still accept. No take-backsies on the deal, we are Canadians now. Good luck, rest of USA, you bunch of effin losers. You're a real disappointment.

If Trump keeps being antagonistic, Carney should start calling him Premier Trump.

Florida here. Take us too and send the Nazis to Alabama.

Ship them to Oklahoma and give every Native American a rifle

Shit man, don't ruin the deal!

Put it to a vote and I bet it would surprise you which states would leave the US right now.

Pretty sure the entire west coast would bounce. Especially California, aka the 4th largest economy in the world.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Besides the geography problem, I've said the West coast and the northeast should become their own country.

.... and make Shatner the first Premier of the new province of Calitexasmassachussissippi

And his government title will be called Premier but everyone has to address him as Captain

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Calitexasmassachussissippi

...just call it Canadian Aztlan, to rub off the nationalists really bad. Done.

Bill Shatner’s a badass.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Shatner had a well earned reputation as an egotistical asshole for a long time, but he does seem to have become more reasonable in recent years

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Is he still a transphobe

How is he 94 years old while not even looking 70?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

For the other people who were also doubtful that the thumbnail was how he currently looks, yes he really looks like that right now at 94 years old.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In 2286 he did a slingshot maneuver around the sun to go back in time. Get with it, dog.

Always count on Lemmy to keep it ~~real~~ in accordance with Starfleet archives.
