Nobody seems to mind though so I'm not even hiding it

Bezo's little PR event for Blue Horizon was broadcast live on all news stations simultaneously. The media is so compromised.

China's getting a bit aggressive though atm. Not as bas as the US, but still not exactly 'free' for the countries involved.

Man, it would be really cool if we could just take them at their word. Unfortunately that's not the world we live in.

I was working with some younger people a few years back and one of them noticed that all of us from of a certain generation always slam the mouse down whenever we first use it. I explained it's a reflex from when the wheels inside the mouse would get stuck with gunk and we would instinctively slam the mouse to get them free.

By my understanding, 4chan left themselves vulnerable which, given the circles they foster, means they were going to be compromised. No fear of reprisal or consequence for it either. Not like when attacking a major corporation or government.

Add "liberal" or even "critical of the president" to that.

They are dispossessed enough to be swept up by it.

It is so he can look like he was putting up a fight.

"We can't do anything about it because he's in another country. Ok, so here's how we're going to take Ukraine's minerals..."

Yup, I know it is impractical, not only that but because it is a digital recreation it will never be a completely truthful representation of anything. It was the same for film but the changes were understood and accepted. Doctored/manipulated images though were expected to be identified as such, for the most part.

Ideally photoshopped images should all be flagged as impractical as that might be.

If someone makes an ai clip of a politician saying something they didn't should we believe it cause the ai was convincing enough?

Really photoshopped images meant to seem as real as possible should be flagged. It sounds ridiculous just because it has become the norm to accept them.

I understand the reluctance. If they had to change platforms every time there was a controversy they'd end up on a platform with no followers left by the end of it. In this case it is merited though.

Fuck Nazis. Fuck Elon Musk.

I agree, we're facilitating interprovincial trade, we have many allies in a similar position with which we can strike new deals. The US is looking to cause some damage though.

It might be, we don't know all the details yet (they called it an irritant) but so far all these global tariffs have disproportionally hurt Canada more than other countries. I can see the US smoothing things over with others but keeping this as a point of contention with Canada.

But if it is the last barrier to reaching an agreement, how long will the rest of Canada support Quebec? This is being done to test our confederacy.

Edit: Not supporting Trump, just being realistic about his intentions.

Trump is using this to cause a crisis in Canada. Quebec objects, the ROC 1) may grow impatient with an agreement not being made. 2) IF the ROC rallies behind Quebec, the US will use it forever to justify tariffs.

Dirty tactics.
