What does his affair have to do with selling GPUs to China? (Genuine question, I’m out of the loop.)

I’m sure employers would like literal slaves too but that’s not much of an argument is it

I think youre just looking at too much porn online. Go to a city like Vancouver where like 30% of the population is wasain and you’ll see people use the term descriptively all the time and it’s not a slur.

Why do you assume that he would intentionally sabatoge his company in the most embarrassing way possible?

Canadians also simply won’t do the jobs these people will for any amount of money.

That’s a bit of a stretch (no teenagers want to work in fast food?) Maybe not for the same wages but that’s the point. Temporary foreign workers suppress natural wage growth

High cost of living where fresh produce and takeaway coffee becomes unaffordable for most or we have temporary workers.

Part the reason we have a high cost of living is because wage growth has been suppressed by policies like these. See the above point

Well I hope you’re right and people move offline

If the liberals lose the next election it will be because of this issue

My students are in grade eight and can barely read Dr. Seuss. It’s not a “kids these days” things it’s a crisis

Why are pineapples sexual tho

Edit: nvm, I get it now

Am I missing something

Now that’s a hot take

Decomposition would likely be slower in this environment too. It would be harder for worms and maggots and so on to get a foothold. You’d have to rely mostly on bacterial means of decomposition

You ask it about the Tiananmen Square Massacre

Yes I agree completely. I was using DuckDuckGo for like 10 years but it’s gotten to the point where it’s genuinely unusable. Even if AI turned off, basically all the results are AI slop blog posts. I was basically impossible to find an answer to any question. I’ve switch to Ecosia and it’s noticeably better, but still, this is a problem every search engine is grappling with right now.

AI slop is like toxic sludge that polluting the online commons. Places like Lemmy are one of the last intact ecosystems that haven’t been destroyed by the sludge.

Interesting, thanks for the explanation

Which is pretty par for the course so far as scientific classifications go.

Well yes I don’t necessarily disagree with you there. But there are some cases where it’s more obvious than others. A good example would be ring species: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_species

I’d say planets are about the same level of arbitrariness as far as scientific categories go

Yeah Manitoba was the trend setter, BC and Alberta (which I forgot to mention) followed after the Manitoba NDP made the announcement

Are you from Manitoba or BC?

I mean that these descriptions are somewhat arbitrary. Roughly round is not a very precise delineation, there will be edge cases where it’s not clear which category they fall into

Wow that’s amazing. How did you learn how to do this?
