  • Ontario’s Health Care Consent Act has been on the books for nearly two decades. Like similar laws in many Canadian provinces—and American states—it sets out the process for making treatment decisions when a patient cannot provide or withhold her consent—when she is in a coma and on life support, for example.

    America has them too. The above is from the same Slate article you linked.

    Maybe don't just pick and choose portions of an article that match your confirmation bias.

  • Saving my pennies to get a 2nd SSD to run Ubuntu.

    Tbh I miss HDs for ease of splitting it.

  • Pork barrelling never died ... it just doesn't get called that anymore.

  • Because they saw an opportunity to fuck America again after imploding Wall St in 2007-08.

    Rampant unfettered capitalism only cares about the money they can make, never about the people's lives they destroy.

  • Apps use push notifications to buzz users’ phones or tablets with updates on new messages or alerts. When a user enables push notifications, Apple and Google create a small bit of data, known as a token, that links their device to the account information they’ve given the companies, such as name and email address.

    In his letter, Wyden said the federal government had started demanding records on those tokens from Apple and Google because those companies operate as a “digital post office” for relaying the notifications. The tokens could reveal details about who a person is communicating with over a messaging or gaming app, what times they talk and, in some cases, the text of any message displayed in the notification.

    Depending on how users have set up their push notifications, the token data could also potentially expose limited information about anyone who had exchanged emails, texts or social media messages with someone that federal investigators have pursued.

    Never use push notifications people.

  • How exactly does Mr. Smith propose a conversation begin with a bunch of seditious asswipes???

  • However, Americans’ data may get picked up as part of incidental collection. That means that if an American is communicating with a foreign target, those communications could be collected. In addition, if federal authorities are already investigating a US person, they may cross-check that person’s information against the 702 database.

  • Yeah, I did. Which is why I said this ... "justify monitoring America."

  • Except Israel had the fucking blueprint in their hands. That would seem to count a lot more when the analyst confirmed training had begun for the mission.

    The approximately 40-page document, which the Israeli authorities code-named “Jericho Wall,” outlined, point by point, exactly the kind of devastating invasion that led to the deaths of about 1,200 people.

  • In late 2022, approximately 4.6 million people were unable to vote due to a felony conviction

    Holy shit America! WTF??? That's over 2% of the adult population!

  • Police used the term "found dead" so likely murder-suicide.

  • I wonder if it was the military who actually ignored the warnings or if it was really Netanyahu and the military is just the fall guy?

    That dude never should have been in office again.

  • I dunno. That's an easy line to cross for most military orgs. For me personally I couldn't live with it.

    We should be counting the cost before making choices that end up murdering innocent people simply because we're afraid of them.

  • “What are we going to say to the family whose loved one’s care was sabotaged when a hospital was taken offline by a foreign adversary and the FBI wasn’t able to stop the cyber attack,” Wray said.

    I abhor when individuals, who should know fucking better, start pulling shit like this.

    If he has proof, show it. But don't use fear-mongering or start pulling at America's heart strings to justify monitoring America.
