I love being in Canada and they routinely use terms like “clean natural gas”. Like wut?

I would argue a good 99% of what we experience in life should be opt-in and yet here we are. Use of AI, companies getting our data, etc is all opt-out meanwhile organ donation is opt-in. Wtf.

I meant the true and proper SWIFT that is used by almost all financial institutions for transferring funds.

SWIFT is the easy one. Fun fact they looked into blockchain at one point and went “yeah, nah”

The economy has not been good since the 70’s and I wish economists would collectively pull their heads out of their asses and stop towing the line of the ones in charge.

What you or I experience is completely decoupled from the stock market, or the GDP, and has been forever.

Both ways I might add. I know I’m better off lol

Um you realize a T1D can’t produce insulin right?

I implore young people to get into ai resistant fields and push for a return to basics and inefficiency.

I’m almost 49 and my exit plan from my corporate job is to have a small farm just big enough that it can be run simply with man power alone and then market to a premium.

Humans are not meant to be machines. Inefficiency needs to be valued more than it is.

Fundamentally I disagree with blocking outside of things like threatening life, CSAM or other extreme things. Doing it for different opinions? That’s a bitch move and sign of a weak person or persons.

You or anyone else can go through my comment history at no point have I said anything destructive to anyone. Regardless it’s neither here nor there. The mods/admins of that instance have shown they are not interested in divergent or challenging opinions. Let them live in their walled garden. For anyone on their instance I would seriously take a second look at their bullshit policies and/or questionable moderation.

My 2 cents.

Edit and on your point of we live in a racist/transfobic society I agree 100%. Maybe it’s an opportunity for the people doing the banning to reflect maybe they need to pull their heads out their asses and realize intentionally removing voices from a room does not make the voices go away. And adult would have asked/talked it out. Dialogue. Nope. Bitch behaviour and block lol

A few things.

1. The parallel is stupid.
2. If you legit have a black friend you probably have more than one.
3. I also have LGBT friends, have walked the pride parade, fought for them, etc.
4. Opinions are like aasholes
5. Arguing on The Internet proves both parties are removed

I stand by what I say. The mods on 196/balajahaja or whatever the fuck it is are snowflake babies and nothing of value for me was lost but I’m more that happy to express they are snowflake babies whenever given the opportunity.

Which is hilarious because I have a trans son whom I love to the ends of the earth. Almost like you can’t judge people from comments online. So yeah, fuck them.

Got blocked from 196 for having an opinion that, although popular, did not align with the mods there so you know what? Fuck 196 and their baby mods. They’ve shown themselves to be little bitch snowflakes so let them be?

I just bought like 5 pounds of nuts from bulk barn. They’ll be gone in a couple of weeks lol

How do you stop the politicization of technology in the classroom when the policies of schools are so heavily influenced by politicians?

We have this problem in Canada too.

I grew up in a society where the truth and data were what drove our learning. That got thrown out the window in Ontario about 10 years ago.

Personally speaking sometimes I like to treat myself with a proper rum/rye & coke. You can’t get the same taste with Coke Zero although Coke Zero slaps hard and it is my daily soda.

Who leaves nuts around long enough for them to go rancid?

The s is hilarious to find out that they carry my logic. Before I had kids I used to joke with my friends I’m fine with my kids being gay so long as they pitch and not catch lol

First I’m learning he’s an admin on startrek.website

Man if he truly is a fan of Star Trek he should really be hanging his head in shame. He’s not representing the morals the show espoused for decades. Hell, Kirk would have bitch slapped his ass which is hilarious given him using the moniker online.

Fucking pussy is delulu

Bingo. I’ve been banned from a few communities because God forbid I have an opinion that doesn’t align with the mods. You think I care? No. Because I control what I can and accept what I can’t.

Such an absolute pussy.
