Ewww people actually use Threads? Last time I saw it, it was like LinkedIn 2.0 filled with sigma grindset “chase that bag” crap.

I wish I could tell you, but I failed all my fascism math courses.

While this is true, I don’t think advocating of “punching fascists” is on a policy level, but rather an individual one.

Why would ask a trans individual to respect the “human rights” of someone that doesn’t even see them as human?

Cannot believe I’m living in an era where Alberta is more separatist than Quebec.

No one who has any political awareness would give the liberals credit for that. That was the NDP’s contribution.

A lot of voters aren’t aware. If it’s not being blasted on repeat by a news channel, then at least 50% of the electorate has no idea what’s happening. We’re also so inundated with American politics that Canadian news gets drowned out as well.

Yeah, I was 95% sure it was an NDP mandate, but I also have an awful memory so I was open to being corrected.

We may not have Fox News, but we have lots of right news media (Post Media, The Globe and Mail, Stephen Crowder). The Conservatives have also been running ads for over a year attacking Trudeau, something that is blatantly against Canadian election laws, but clearly they found some sort of loophole, and these are more than likely being funded by conservative groups from down south or overseas.

For any Canadians that don’t know, this is what Harper (our former conservative PM) is up to now.

It may not have been as bombastic, but any scientist living through the Harper governments DID get the American experience. We are trying to recover from that scientific crippling to this day.

Anyone listen to PP’s speech? How is bro still saying he’ll stay on as leader after pulling an Atlanta Falcons

Also, this election proved to me that the Quebec hate is so forced. Push comes to shove they know what elbows up means, unlike Alberta and Sask.

Bro I need gaslighting lessons from PP; how is he losing his riding, losing an election he has polled 20+ points in the lead in for almost two years, and yet gives a speech where he not only says he will stay on as leader, but makes it seem like losing the election was his desired outcome??

Really sad about Jagmeet and the NDP wipeout tbh. I know why it happened, but if I’m not mistaken the universal pharma and dentalcare we have now were initiatives pushed by the NDP that the Liberals get credit for because they were the ones holding the PM seat.

According to their Wikipedia, Techdirt only accepted money from Charles Koch’s foundation for a lawsuit (amongst other donors), and are owned by Floor64.

Floor 64’s website only has 2 people listed in their management team, but I couldn’t dig up if either are linked to the Koch’s (I was pretty cursory about it though).

The article was worth a read for this quote alone:

VGHF library director Phil Salvador puts it even more simply: “Generative AI video is a great way to preserve video games, in the sense that mirages are a great source of water.”

I’m literally so confused, what are you even arguing about anymore? That Pew poll regarding scientific distrust is specifically related to the Covid pandemic, but you’re taking about measles, and also how this has been going on for a decade. Which is it, and why are the sociological elements I’ve mentioned before not value added according to your authority?

All this over a simple comment about the Human Genome Project.

Again, enjoy your crashout. If you feel validated, that’s all that matters ig 🤷‍♂️

Measles vaccinations being down can also be linked to mandatory vaccination laws being taken off the books across states during the last decade. It says nothing about the inherent levels of scientific education of the parents doing so.

Previously, parents were mandated by law to have their children vaccinated at birth or to attend schools. We don’t know if they would have opted to vaccinate their kids if it wasn’t mandatory, and it definitely doesn’t point to them “appreciating science” more.

Again, very condescending reply from you, considering correlation /= causation is a basic rule of research.

Enjoy your crashout, ig.

Then let me be succinct: There was never any “science appreciation” among the general public, and if you think there was, you’re in a bubble. A specific, most likely higher educated and most likely American bubble. You’re just hearing voices outside the bubble now.

Condescending comments like your reply might contribute to the science derision though, just saying.

Sure, but “fine” is not really what I want for a Zelda movie, personally. And judging by the apprehension of a lot of the Zelda fanbase, they seem to have similar sentiments.

Also I’m not really sure why my other comment is getting downvoted, it was just what I observed in my circle of family/friends/coworkers. Apologies to any long time Mario fans I offended.

Science derision, has been around for forever, look up the history of anti-vaccination leagues in the UK and US in response to the small pox vaccine in the 1800s. There were antivax parents at my primary school in the 90s too. They were just in pockets of small communities before, and therefore wielded less power. Social media has allowed them to gather into one town square and allowed them to reinforce each other’s delusions, amplify their voices, spread (aptly) like a virus, and most importantly tie it to a political/culture war.

Or it’s the consequences of lead and heavy metals poisoning finally coming to their natural conclusion regarding the function of the human brain.

I hate to tell you this, but the Human Genome Project the meme is referencing was completed in 2003 and published in 2004.

Time sure flies 🥲

This is so weird, because they had already restored/updated it for HD when it was on HBO Max, and it was fine. No AI gibberish in the backgrounds. Did Netflix not have the rights to that version or something?

I think I’ve seen loose cornflakes and stuff at Bulk Barn? But I’m not sure where they would be sourcing it from.
