Holy shit this is embarrassing. How can someone who is so easily manipulated hold a security clearance? I’m a veteran and I hate it when people abuse their uniform like this.
Five Liberal members of Parliament are asking 25 Canadian university presidents to say whether calling for a genocide against Jewish people or the elimination of Israel violates their school policies.
Calling for genocide is illegal in Canada so why is it necessary to cover it in school policies? I wouldn’t expect murder to be included in school policies either.
most people are terrible about rolling stops, its insane
The stop signs seem more like a polite suggestion here 🤣 And why don’t they just increase the speed limit to 120 already.
just because the data says one thing DOES NOT in any sense preclude the existence of severe outlier data points
That’s why we should rely on the data, decisions shouldn’t be based on anecdotal outliers. No one is excusing the horrific acts of Ali Ibrahim or any other immigrant. It’s just that their immigrant status doesn’t have a causal relationship with crime so immigration status is irrelevant. We all want to reduce violent crime in Canada so lets focus on identifying real causal relationships so that we can support at risk individuals.
Why wasn’t he required to have a surety/translator?
That’s a valid question no matter where they were born. I’m not arguing that there were no failings in this case, I’m arguing that those failings are not related to the original citizenship of this individual.
As I said earlier
We all want to reduce violent crime in Canada so lets focus on identifying real causal relationships so that we can support at risk individuals.
Let’s identify at risk individuals (both possible victims and possible attackers) instead of scapegoating non casual and even non correlated attributes of individuals who commit violent acts.
re: traffic laws in Canada. From my experience, it depends where you are in Canada (and what number plates you have). Driving the speed limit on Toronto highways is dangerous but going 10 over with Ontario plates in Quebec can get you a ticket 😅 There are lots of unwritten road rules here, it was difficult to learn as an immigrant. Especially coming from a country littered with speed cameras where 7km over will get you fined hundreds of dollars. And don’t get me wrong, I think Canadian drivers are generally really good, it’s just the laws don’t align with the reality which can be confusing.
I wonder how this news is affecting midgard.com, the 100 year old lighting shop. My guess, they’re receiving abusive emails while also selling loads more white lamps
You would still have the same age, gender, personality, skin color, etc. and you would be able to speak at least one local language and would know basic information of the era and place. Your family, social standing, and such would be randomly picked.
That’s unlikely in a closed heat exchange system. Maybe some additional evaporation because the water is slightly warmer. But unless I’m missing something, it seems very misleading to suggest that a Bitcoin transaction uses 16 kilolitres because of evaporation. Napkin math, it would require about 10 megawatt/hours of energy to evaporate that much water (please correct me if I’m wrong). I’m not a Bitcoin fanboy, I just don’t like BS.
From your perspective, how does the current situation in Israel and the territories that Israel controls differ from Apartheid South Africa? I’m trying to understand your world view.
I’m trying to understand how it is different in your eyes. How is the Israeli government’s segregation different from the Apartheid South African government’s segregation? Obviously you see a distinction but it’s not obvious to myself and I want to understand your perspective.
This isn’t an Large Language Model, it’s an Image Generative Model. And given that these models just present human’s biases and stereotypes, then doesn’t it follow that humans should also be kept far away from decision making processes?
The problem isn’t the tool, it’s the lack of auditable accountability. We should have auditable accountability in all of our important decision making systems, no matter if it’s a biased machine or biased human making the decision.

Hello, Canadians of Lemmy! Down in the USA there is a lot of conflicting information regarding the efficacy of y’alls healthcare systems. Without revealing my personal bias, I was hoping for some anecdotes or summaries from those whom actually live there.
Healthcare is provincial here so it varies. I’m in Ontario, the largest province in Canada. Hospital emergency wait rooms have been fairly short in my limited experience. Accessing a doctor is free but getting a family doctor can be difficult. My daughter was delivered at a hospital in a smaller city of 50k. The staff and amenities were great. They had lactation consultants on staff etc. All free to use.
My biggest concern with the healthcare system in Canada is medical staff burnout. I hope they get the staff get the support they need
You are buried in a coffin 6ft deep, with no light or cell phone. There is only a small tube connected to the coffin from outside that allows you to breathe (edit: you can breathe with no difficulty). After 48 hours, you are dug up and given 1 million dollars. Do you do it?...
We live in the most peaceful time in history and we carry the collective knowledge of humanity in our pockets. We have many problems to solve now and in the future but some perspective is useful.

From my original comment ^
Don’t straw man. Obviously we have problems today. I’m not arguing that things are fine today. I arguing that from a historic perspective, today is a good day. Nostalgia for the past is such a bullshit privileged belief from non marginalized people. Study history so we don’t make the same stupid mistakes again.
Your original post sounds like you think millennials are the first generation to have problems when in reality, our generation’s problems are trivial in comparison to past generations.
Don’t forget that autism anti vaccine movement was fueled by fairly intelligent well educated people who were tricked by one flawed study. We shouldn’t assume people are stupid if they’re anti vaccines.
No. I reverted back to Windows 10 Pro for my gaming machine after Windows 11 Pro prompted me that it was “international bubble tea day”. Don’t get me wrong, I love bubble tea, I just don’t care for these distractions when I’m trying to use my PC.

B for sure. Consider a long pole (stationary relative to the track) entering the portal at the front of the trolley, it would leave the portal at the speed the trolley is moving.

The engagement with my presentation for instance. I don’t care about tracking specific users.
It doesn’t change the user-facing URL like a shortener.
Where the user-facing URL points can easily be changed! For instance, changing the DNS record or changing where the reverse proxy points. I really don’t think you understand how the internet works under the hood.
Someone archiving the original content. It’s your fault for breaking the link at a whim.
I’m not going to optimize my content for lazy archivers. Check out web.archive.org for an example of how to properly archive, they update the URLs so links don’t break
I’m not talking about the validity of an argument as no argument is made in either statement. So maybe validity was a poor choice of wording. Which statement would you trust more?
You initially claimed that mentioning expertise was an ad hominem fallacy. That’s what we’ve been discussing. Can you now appreciate that mentioning expertise in this case is not an ad hominem fallacy?
