We get that it is the design philosophy for Mastodon to not have an algorithm serving content, but it appears to be a non-starter for a lot of users of Twitter like services.
In theory, a third party could write that algorithm and implement it in some form. Truth Social functions like that, but without federating to the rest of Mastodon.
Part of it is cultural while another part is economic.
Culturally, Canada was part of the British Empire well into the 20th century. This meant that having relations with Canada was having relations with the British Empire. Outside of the War of 1812, the British Empire typically negotiated with the USA with respect that the USA could project at least the same kind of land power in the Americas as the British Empire could.
Culturally, Mexico was a successor nation to the Spanish Empire. Mexico didn't have the level of protection that Canada did nor did it have similar government institutions as the USA had. There was also a difference in approach to colonization between the two nations; the USA engaged in settler colonialism using white Europeans while Mexico had a large indigenous population incorporated into Mexican society.
Economically, Canada has a per capita national wealth on par with the USA while Mexico has lagged behind. This has led to a lot of migration from Mexico to the USA and Mexico being used as a low cost labor source.
More like Miami with less booze and weed.
A lot of multiparty civil wars have different sides with mutually exclusive goals.
If you want to talk about boardgames, there are games like Root where different factions have their own separate rules that conflict with allowing multiple people being able to win.
If you make your way to San Antonio, remember the Alamo.
He he, humor! I love it!
He he he.
If you want to outdo Walmart, there is also Buc-ee's.
I agree that the beef likely isn't halal, but pork definitely won't be halal.
Choosing to eat non-halal meat in a part of the world where Islam isn't a significant minority and options for halal meat are limited is a personal decision. Halal options for food may be available in Houston, but they are likely going to be rare.
I've dined with Muslims who are ok with eating at non-halal establishments but will not eat pork at all since eating pork is obviously haram.
Texas barbeque is beef based on the count of all that cattle.
It works with things you are required to have as well.
Insurance is a varied field from legal minimum insurance to something that will actually protect your family. Since it is so varied, advertising helps being people in. I know there are a couple of car insurance companies that don't advertise, but they are also very picky on who can get their insurance.
