Jesus Christ you all want to discount Chinese innovations so bad. America won’t fund anything that doesn’t immediately return anymore. They’ve fallen off.

All I hear is that they need to cut out the corruption of the private sector and make it public.

He’s not stupid. He’s paid to believe and promote these pro-oil anti-human ideas.

Hey, I saw this one in the Tyee already!

Lmao. Yeah why on earth would the government favour the majority of the damn populace - it’s a mystery.

I think that you should not worry about others validating your identity and that you can feel happy about discovering yourself.

Or magnets for hall effect sensors to tell when the lid is closed.

He put cream into the Captain’s coffee once and she never forgave him.

Uh no not really, like most developed countries we’re primarily urban… I’ve lived in the boreal forest and nobody has guns for bears lol.

The sickness that’s taken over America is very much alive and unwell in Canada.

LOL they’re SO desperate. We’re not coming back

Liberals still having trouble conceptualising that MAGA is a death cult that has no issue with policies that kill everyone.

Your goals and my goals are very different. I don’t personally want millions of fediverse users, I’m happy with strong small communities.

Defederation “blocks” that instance for all users. Not really the same thing as monolithic bsky or twitter. You are not even aware of the instances yours has defederated with.

More than 0 drinks is risky. Our society has just normalized the very real harm alcohol can cause. People should certainly be able to make their own choice but I think it’s really silly to treat alcohol different from other drugs when by every measure it is actually quite a strong drug with a high dependency risk.

All of the above. Fuck capitalism, fuck DRM, and fuck giving the 1% more money lmao

Arch Linux package maintainers seem to have disabled it by default unless I did something and forgot

Gotta love America still subtly implying that they are the leaders by assuming we need their word to not come to their fascist state. Yeah bud. We know. We’ve been watching the whole time

English is nothing if not a bastard child of way too many different languages and has inherited and then changed their pronunciation rules. English pronunciation will never make sense.

Everybody thinks about these events entirely wrong. There are sociological reasons people are violent or otherwise engaging in antisocial behaviour. Once we start giving people a place to live to actually set their lives up instead of just letting folks rot in the street much of this problem will mostly solve itself. Everyone seems to want to downplay the issue, but we don’t need to do that because there’s real solutions that don’t involve state violence.

Either way this problem, even in its genuinely problematic current form and not something I will handwave away on its own, is not that significant compared to the personal and social harm of car centrism. You should still be more worried about dying in a car crash than some violent actor on public transit.
