I'm old enough to remember when Canada booed Sweden, Finland, Ukraine, Slovakia, Denmark, Norway, France, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Italy, Germany, Poland, Great Britain etc. at hockey games here in 🇨🇦
Just kidding, we never booed any of them because they never threatened us.
You know what the biggest problem with pushing all-things-AI is? Wrong direction.
I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.
It's the hypocrisy that gets us. No one bats an eye when Israel commits crime after crime, taking more land and kidnapping Palestinian children in the middle of the night for throwing a rock at a tank. No one ever says a word about all of the war crimes Israel has committed - ever.
It's the hypocrisy we see that Israel can do whatever it wants and no one says a word, but if someone decides to fight back against all that has been taken from them - "shame on them! Terrorists!"
It's not a good thing what Hamas did. Killing innocent people is never right - but why the fuck doesn't anyone call out Israel when they constantly do it? How many IDF snipers have killed children? How IDF bombs have wiped out entire families? The fucked up thing is, all Israel has to say is "they were terrorists."
The Israeli government has dehumanized the Palestinian people to the point of their own leaders calling Palestinians "nothing but animals".
People keep saying that "Israel is the only democracy in the middle east."
It's not a democracy, it's a Zionist Theocracy.
WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?
There is no solution. It's all pushed by hatred, religion, racism, and stupidity.
How about that Leafs (non) goal @ESPNRefNHL ?? Looked like it crossed the line to me, if just barely? And Bobrovsky pulled it out with his skate/pads?? But I'm just an amateur;)
COVID-19 is the third-leading cause of death in Canada, but it’s older people who are dying. That we accept this and carry on as if the pandemic is over reveals our ageism: We don’t value older people, says @machealthsci’s Dawn Bowdish. | @McMasterIIDR https://t.co/ibB8vOIkmZ

So can we all then agree that we shouldn't be allowing one company to have an on/off switch that affects Interac, 911 services, banks, ATMs, phone lines, cell service and Internet?
All those services should never be in position to be affected all at once.

🚨Scary statistics about marijuana🚨
1) Over 20,000 deaths from marijuana in 2022
2) Every day, 106 people die from marijuana
3) Nearly 3000 children and teenagers have been killed/injured by marijuana this year
4) jk these facts are about guns
Abortion for *lethal* fetal anomalies is now *illegal* in Ohio
I’m a high-risk obstetrician here. I diagnose birth defects
So some point soon I may look someone in the eyes & say that they, against their will, will carry to term, undergo delivery & then have their child die
