Newsflash: with the increasing extreme weather events, everywhere is becoming a “disaster-prone area”.
Asheville, NC is 300 miles from the nearest coast and still got its shit rocked by a hurricane.

AI “art” removes the hurdle for the wealthy of actually having talent to produce “art”, while simultaneously removing the artist’s ability to produce wealth from their talents.
Everytime someone shares an AI generated video, song, picture, etc., I cringe a little. Its just not good, or at best, anything that couldn’t be produced by a reasonably capable artist, but hey at least its free, right?
You can reliably quickly tell if a news source is credible depending on how many appeals to emotion and superfluous adjectives/descriptors are found in their articles.
A lot of it is about parsing multiple sources, and extrapolating the data from the spin.
Israel has killed approximately FIVE TIMES as many kids under the age of ten alone than the entire Israeli casualty count from Oct 7.
This is not defense, its extermination. I have no idea how anyone can look at the data and take it any other way.
People need to stop seeing a “balanced budget” as the top measure of a responsible government.
A country is not a household. They are not going to repo Manitoba if we have too much debt. The vast, VAST majority of countries carry debt, and carrying debt is preferable to austerity measures that gut social programs and supports in service of a balanced budget.
No, I’m pretty sure its the indiscriminate bombing of children overseas that’ll do it.
Canadian here. No, you fucking dont. We basically have 2 major players (Loblaws and Sobeys), and they were caught red-handed fixing the price of bread a few years ago, and faced next to no punishment for it.
Could it be that the mounting evidence is demonstrating that the commodification of housing and its increasing use as an investment vehicle is driving the housing crisis?
Nah, must be those damn immigants and red tape thats not letting us build on protected environments!
I guess you’re right. Might as well give up now, put zero effort into making anything better, and simply wallow in my own smug pessimism.
Wild that a country that has such a rich history of same-sex relationships would take this long to legalize it.
People need to be more media litterate and more skeptical of news stories instead of taking them at face value, regardless of Deepfakery. So many articles that pass as “news” are filled with opinion and adjectives designed to ellicit an emotional response.
People need to learn to look at a piece of information and ask questions.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
Even a Fox News article can have some insight into the goings on if you can parse the information from the spin. Deepfakes are just going to be another level of spin, but if people are informed enough, they’ll be able to logically differentiate between a real news story and a damning fake video.
However, that doesnt solve the age old problem of willfully ignorant people and the confirmation bias…
“The the fine is less than the profits, then its just the cost of doing business.”
This is your reminder that Hawaiian Pizza was invented by a Greek immigrant in an Italian restaurant in Canada.
“It’s the entitlement that really gets me. The feeling that someone else’s life, their mistakes, their trauma, their STORY is just free for the taking because it was in the news,”
This. So. Much.
Entitlement is the perfect word for it. In all the sensationalism of modern news reporting, we are guilty of conflating news and entertainment. We forget that there are actual human beings at the center of these stories, people who deserve to be able to decide whether or not their stories get exploited to further enrich someone else.
I’ve been saying this for years. These were simple, efficiently built homes to account for a huge influx in housing needs. Why it took us this long to remember a solution that already worked is wild to me.
Sure, there is less space to build in on cities proper, but with how much we have progressed with WFH, it shouldnt be as much of an issue to build outside the core.
Weird that AI isnt replacing things like management, CEOs, stock investors, accountants… you know, jobs that tend to be about numbers and efficiency, which yi would think AI would excell at.
Instead, we have it skirting copyright by stealing other people works and changing it just enough to not be a direct copy.
I recommend you touch grass. Valuing yourself by imaginary internet points is not going to do you any good.
Hasnt he been in hospice care for like a year and a half now?
