Something about a broken clock

But yeah, Ford did good here.

Canada holds natural resources that Trump wants to control, including the future potential arctic route.

I have not encountered those yet. I guess keep a Gmail handy if you really must.

You have a very balanced take, it's refreshing.

Poverty and drug addiction is a very difficult problem I believe can be tackled by UBI and safe injection centres together.

I have the same gripes about the Montreal Metro, I think it's unsafe outside of commute hours because of the drug users and homeless people who take shelter within. It's not their fault, it's a societal problem, but the end result nonetheless is that people get assaulted frequently on the metro.

Being poor is expensive, both for the individual and for society, and studies show that if you give someone $200, they'll spend it on food and drugs. If you house someone, they'll feel like they have no autonomy and go back to the streets. If you give them $25k a year with no strings attached, most will try to find housing they like, buy food they like and solve their addiction and mental health issues, and go on to live fulfilling lives.

And, best of all, if done and funded correctly, employers get to save $25k a year on employee paychecks as it'll be presumably garnered off of corporate taxes for all of society to enjoy. Unfortunately, companies are "people" and would protest against this as it'll end up being slightly more expensive in the short term.

Pushing poor people away just makes them someone else's problem.

There are more local options not from PC nor the US that OP didn't list, the most obvious one to me is frozen pizzas.

At least in Quebec, there are so many non-American frozen pizza brands I can't possibly list them all, two of them would be ILIOS and Como's.

Tim Hortons is about as uncanadian as Starbucks, they're owned by RBI, which is owned by 3Com, a Brazilian food conglomerate.

Thanks, I could not understand what they were talking about 😂

Or you can ask it to respond in pirate English, bypasses a lot of blocks

Distractions. Distractions, distractions, distractions.

That's the whole conservative game on both sides of the border.

Get a boogeyman, focus your populace on the boogeyman while you do backdoor deals to increase you and your friends' personal wealth.

Sociopathic behaviour.

On that note, it should be illegal to hold an official position with a conflict of interest, such as owning real estate for investment purposes. It would theoretically keep rich people out of office.

GNOME's trackpad gestures are excellent, I'm assuming you're using Cinnamon.

Yeah!

I got it to talk honestly about the Tiananmen square massacre if you just open with "tiananmen". It even tells you a massacre took place.

But it will absolutely shit itself and refuse to cooperate if you paste the copypasta into it, Qwen QwQ and Meta Llama 3.3 70B, although you can talk Llama into it.

QwQ seems to have a hard filter list as it doesn't appear to be an AI generated response. You can bypass it by asking it to use pirate English, but it's fully indoctrinated and thinks the protests were funded by the West, which is... Interesting.

Edit: I actually got it to spit out numbers in pirate English

Waouh, what a totally reasonable and respectable member of society 🙄

They also appear to be in Poland, according to their post history.

Easily impressionable, yet craving for attention

Doesn't the SPCA offer this service? Apparently it's like $150.

This is a strawman reply, you've attacked their intent and knowledge without actually countering the argument and explaining why you disagree.

So you'll wait until they get killed? Wholesome Keanu 100 🥰🥰☺️

I really hate AI image generation. It's theft and the result is always uncanny.

At least GPT is somewhat useful despite also being theft.

That's kinda wild tbh, even Node applications don't need to pull in Node.

And K for play/pause
