As nice of a sentiment as this is, I’m already seeing colleagues that have dedicated their entire academic and public sector careers to Canadian institutions get passed over for promotions and jobs because there are other Canadians fleeing the states with prestigious names in their resume like Yale, Harvard etc. These people haven’t worked/experienced a day in Canada since they were 18 years old, but are now expected to be leaders in big Canadian institutions. Some are already floundering, tbh.

Not saying new blood isn’t good, but the Americanization of our institutions is already getting somewhat bad. You can see why many of my colleagues wouldn’t be happy about that.

Hey same! My cat loves going in the backyard, and whenever it storms he stands by the back door and looks at me to make it stop.

I am sorry little one, but I am not Zeus nor the Hyades.

Finally got 120Hz screens on base models

Wifi doesn’t work

Ok Apple…

I’m already in the EU, so under the UK branch of the subsidiary. Theoretically, I would be immune to the algorithm manipulation from the US. In practice, who knows. The UK hasn’t really been pushing back against US Tech interferences.

With Twitter going down, TT was my next best option for finding niche artiste and fandoms. My algorithm on there was really good with showing me new artists and fandom creators to follow. Idk where I’m gonna go now.

I’m hoping that all the “stateless” Palestinian refugees in these countries are finally able to obtain some sort of recognition and have an easier time regarding residency.

We’ll see, though. The British started this whole fucking show after WWII, this is the least they can do.

I mean, true. I guess the dichotomy is jarring to me personally lol.

It’s kind of insane, because I have been going around Amsterdam museums this week to see what the hype is all about, and all of them do SUCH a good job addressing the colonialism of the Dutch. How tf are these guys not getting it

It’s so interesting that the Roche fight is where you felt the combat click, because it was the exact same for me! The game got waaaay more enjoyable once that happened, haha.

I know people dog on the remake for not being the OG/overpriced/a scam/whatever, but I really enjoyed my play through.

pure socialism (no democracy)

Why would that EVER be an option? Socialism is an economic system while democracy is a political one. You cannot have one functioning without the other. You want a socialist fascist state instead?

Name one country that has done communism or pure socialism that has lasted more than 5 years in the history of the world.

The Scandinavian states…? Wtf is “pure socialism”?

Make that three, I also call him that whenever he comes up.

They’re banning explicit manga AND erotica? Gooners, you gotta rise up and save the Michigan fujoshis and fudanshi!

In all seriousness, the real reason is clear, conservatives love telling on themselves:

Schriver’s bill also has a transphobic component. If adopted into law, the act includes prohibitions on material that “includes a disconnection between biology and gender by an individual of one biological sex imitating, depicting, or representing himself or herself to be of the other biological sex.”

Someone in the Michigan legislature got caught being too into femboys or something similarly stupid, probably.

My bad, in the article he does specify that whoever bails him out is a patriot, but I remember him on a livestream saying that Paul Pelosi deserved it, because the conspiracy theory he wanted to talk to the attacker about is the one where he’s Paul Pelosi’s secret boyfriend. The rights pushed a lot of homophobic narratives about the attack at the time.

I wish I could link you to a source, but unfortunately Google and other searches for anything related to Kirk is pulling up the breaking news about his death and sensationalist reactions to it. If you want to try to find it yourself, it should be in media from end of 2022/beginning of 2023.

Interesting reflection of Lemmy demographics that I haven’t seen much “But he has a wife and kids, we shouldn’t be celebrating his death uwu” rhetoric. Apparently even the most staunch centrists here acknowledge the harm Toiler Paper USA has done to the US populace.

There’s some insane laundering of his legacy going on now over on Reddit and through American news outlets though, as if he didn’t call Paul Pelosi’s attacker a “patriot” or dismiss school shootings as a necessary evil of the 2nd amendment. MSNBC even fired a political analyst over calling him “divisive.”

I’m not one of those people who blame every ill of the world on the “neoliberal cucks” or whatever, but damn if they don’t have a point regarding the corporate capture of the United States news media currently.

You’re not wrong, but considering how full throated Trudeau was in his support for Israel, and all of the Islamophobic+anti-Semetic rhetoric in Toronto and Montreal while those cities are hosting meetings for land developers wanting to invest in the Gaza strip, I will take what I can get.

Oh no, I 100% agree with everything you’ve said here.

My point was 1) the flotillas have been happening for a few months now and has gotten more people sympathetic to the situation (Greta for example live-streamed being boarded and captured by the IDF in…June I think?) and 2) The IDF don’t WANT the easy PR win. They want Gaza empty.

Lmao posting this from the Canada instance is hilarous considering the PM has put out a statement denouncing the Knesset and it’s intention to recognize a Palestinian State. Guess Carney’s a terrorist.

I give it a 30% chance that Israel military kills them and blames Hamas, a 60% chance that Hamas kills them and blames it on Israel… And a 10% chance of surviving…

They’ve been doing this May and I don’t think anyone has died/gone “missing” in the Flotillas yet. Israel doesn’t want the PR win, they usually use the opportunity of the news media’s attention being turned to the Flotillas to launch some extra drone strikes in Gaza. Murdering Palestinians is much more important to them.
