Idk what it’s going to take for women at large to stop putting so much stock in men and let go of the fantasy. The femicide rate ain’t doing it, domestic violence ain’t either, the fatherless homes, nothing. I don’t understand it because how your brain just ignores the facts is something mine can’t compute.

they stole it lmao

[Exomnium @Exomnium]

all other allegations aside, "we caught wind that a mathematician might be about to solve a famous problem so we spent $15 million on tokens to scoop them" is exactly why OpenAI is completely full of shit when it says it wants to work with the academic community in a positive way

Nagoya, Japan issued its highest Level 5 emergency warning.

104mm of rain fell in just one hour, flooding roads and buildings.

Bullet trains were suspended, and people were told to move to higher floors and stay out of underground areas.

Some areas recorded 741mm in 48 hours. The JMA said multiple areas were experiencing rainfall “at a level never experienced before.”

Seriously extreme rainfall = Climate Change.

Canada didn’t copy Labour Day from the US.

The Americans actually took the idea from Toronto.

In 1872, Toronto printers went on strike for a 9-hour workday. The publisher of The Globe had the union leaders arrested using an ancient 1792 law.

Prime Minister John A. Macdonald hated the publisher, so he passed the Trade Unions Act to legalize unions just to humiliate his rival.

• 10,000 people marched through Toronto in solidarity

• An American labour leader saw the parade model and imported it to New York in 1882

• Both countries made it an official holiday in 1894

The long weekend we get off today was born out of a 150-year-old feud in Toronto.

Your LG TV is spying on you, even with no internet connection.

According to @GamersNexus, LG Smart TVs can scan local networks, identify content, and record/transcribe audio in standby.

They also found webOS flaws that could enable remote code execution. https://t.co/3m6sklywkj

Everyone needs to know about this case out of New Hampshire.

ACLU just filed the lawsuit earlier this week!

And remember.

She killed 14 billion in green energy investment...Alberta has a geographical advantage that she killed, just for Big Oil whims.

And you already paid 1200% less than BC.

Your glasses cost $5 to make. You paid $300. And one company you've never heard of is the reason why.

Luxottica owns Ray-Ban. They own Oakley. They own Persol. They own Oliver Peoples. They own Costa. They own Arnette. They make the glasses for Prada, Chanel, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Burberry, Giorgio Armani, and Michael Kors. They own LensCrafters. They own Pearle Vision. They own Sunglass Hut. They own Target Optical. They own the online retailer https://t.co/kRIbMGKUAX. They own EyeMed the vision insurance provider that tells you where to buy your glasses. And they own the lab that makes your lenses.

One company controls the frames. The brands. The stores. The insurance. The lenses. And the price.

A guy spent 11 years working in the optical industry 4 in a lab making lenses, 3 managing a retail optical store, 4 consulting for independent eyewear brands trying to compete with Luxottica.

He told me: "The frame on your face cost between $2 and $5 to manufacture. The lenses cost $1.50 to $3. You paid $300–$700. That's not a markup. That's a scheme. And it only works because one corporation owns every step between the factory and your face and nobody knows it."

"There are 4 billion people on Earth who need vision correction. Most of them are paying a 1,000%–2,000% markup on a medical device they literally cannot live without because the entire industry from factory to face is controlled by one company pretending to be 50 different brands."

"The glasses on your face right now are almost certainly made in the same Italian factory as every 'luxury' brand on the wall at Sunglass Hut the store that Luxottica also owns."

Here are 10 things the glasses industry doesn't want you to know and exactly how to stop overpaying for a product that costs less than your morning coffee to make:

The Science Centre was closed so DeGasperis could have the land.

Ford announced the extension of the Ontario Line to the "science centre" right after DeGasperis closed on the adjacent parcel.

It was always a bait and switch.

[Pai do VB e FB @renatonees45]

Mataram o e-mail com spam.
Mataram o SMS com spam.
Mataram os stories com propaganda.
Mataram as ligações com telemarketing.

E chamam isso de inovação.

Só mudam a plataforma e repetem a mesma coisa: marketing até todo mundo pegar raiva.

The @fordnation government has so underfunded hospitals, St Catharines is currently asking for linen donations for the NICU.

$25,000 for a sign not 15 mins away but no blankets for babies.

How’s the Science Centre roof doing with all that water last night and can the media call the province out on the blatant lies and hold some people accountable or like

Worms found in 96% of sushi-grade tuna tested in a lab — risking potential illness and a ruined meal

Brazilian scientists found that nearly all the tuna fish in a recent haul were contaminated by worms

The Science Centre’s roof has survived heavy winter snow storms and now a violent rain and hail storm. This roof continues to have more integrity than the Ford government.

A team of us are working on ways to reopen this architectural masterpiece to the public again.

Moments ago: Premier Doug Ford at what appeared to be a press conference, with no press invited: “Thank God we don’t have the media, no questions, no answers. We’re good to go.”
