The complicity of many national governments in this genocide, including my own (Canada), will be remembered with disdain.

Every single Democrat warned you. You didn't listen.

US border patrol gives no shits about most laws and international treaties. Supposedly they are conducting a reasonable search there, so if they unwittingly encounter classified information in the course of that duty, they most they might need to do is report it.

Anecdotally, I have heard cases of some workers bringing a fresh laptop through the border, then re-imaging it with their files after. This is probably what government with classified files, corporate agents holding trade secrets and diplomats with sensitive info need to do.

I'm smelling Musk's typical brand of vaporware.

There was another thing that Musk made from the ground up. How's that going?

Possibly this news is related:

"... aaaaaand it's gone."

I kinda like RGB but not in the pulsating rainbow way how it seems to always be on marketing materials.

I like keeping it to one colour, with the intensity at half. It is nice to change it a few times a year for a fresh look.

The fonts and other stuff, I don't care that much as long as the components are good quality. Maybe subconsciously I would consider design if I had to choose between options that performed and cost relatively equally.

The US government flaunting its effective tyrannical control of its tech companies are, somewhat ironically, helping the EU get away from that control by being encouraged to swap to Linux and FOSS.

I watched it, there's no mention of donating to anyone in this video and no donation link in the description aside from her standard Patreon and social media info.

No, she is saying your power is in pressuring MPs and other politicians to push back against C-2, push back on Carney being an American suck-up, supporting sanctions on Israel, boycotting products and services that support the genocide and Trump's deportation scheme, push companies to drop Gardaworld for their involvement in constructing the concentration camp, and on. The point is that all this bad doesn't take away what options we have as individuals to resist it.

If you could please refrain from spreading misinformation based on unfounded hunches, I would appreciate it.

Deportation macht Frei

Effectively hand-me-downs the military has no active use for.

That conversation has to happen now as well. But the points I raised are related to despair of the Reconciliation bill passing and those climate setbacks.

Democrats' window of opportunity to change ahead of midterms is NOW until the primaries. (I've said my spiel about it before in this thread)

A survey with the takeaways really gussying up AI and how people that don't use AI haven't had their aha moment yet.

That's where the resistance has to last 16 to 40 months, slowing down and making people aware enough of these things:

• how unserious about budgets Republicans are
• how much they are trying to punish regular people (poor middle and moderately wealthy class),
• while also looking to use the they are spending to subsidize companies, multi-millionaires and billionaires.

Because waste and recycling is a provincial matter (like many things)... saying Canada doesn't have a standardized federal framework is fine, but kind of a shallow take considering this article didn't bring up any provincial examples at all.

BC is on the ball with recycling, reporting and auditing composition.report

Ontario is trying to standardize their system and it puts cost and collection responsibilities on producers supposedly, but it could lead to lower recovery rates.

Alberta or Saskatchewan probably don't care that much, or will support it to the extent it helps oil and resource companies.

Ah shit, I woulda totally had you over in Vancouver, if I wasn't away on a trip myself around when you arrive. Maybe after Aug 5th I could, if you haven't moved to another city.

1. hostels in Canada are generally fine, not luxury but social. Vancouver's Chinatown is cheap, downtown and well connected. However the downside with the cheap area there is the street can smell and there are plenty of homeless people, minding their own business. Otherwise you'll be on the outskirts.
2. if you're getting to know people my age, instagram is pretty popular (i dont have it)
3. people are generally nice all over Canada, hospitality will vary by area and person. Go to nightclubs Fri and Sat mostly if you're into that. Social spots are cafes bars and beaches.

He got many non-budgetary provisions out from the Byrd rule, which is essentially enforcing the rules that allow the thin Republican majority to pass a budget.

But the Republican Senate also made up an accounting magic trick to pretend that a several trillion dollar budget line item has no effect on the deficit. And pretended that this is now a rule because 51 senators think this is a good idea.

Senate Democrats did virtually everything within the legislative process that they could on their own.

House Leader Jeffries did at least delay the vote for 8 hours, 44 minutes to talk about the bill, and bring it to the afternoon news cycle instead of at 4am.

From Obama-care to Republi-kill.

Trillion-dollar taxpayer giveaways to billionaires also bring down the deficit, because reasons.
