I can’t trust a car no matter how Japanese it is, but… I watched a lil docuseries on dangerous roads, and it seemed like at least 80% of the vehicles (outside of heavy trucks) were Toyota. I dunno if it’s because they’re the most reliable, or because Toyota just has the market in many of these developing countries, but it was interesting.

Copilot seemed to be a bit better tuned, but I’ve now confused it by misspelling strawberry. Such fun.

✨capitalism✨

For the good of everyone, except the ones who are dead. 🤪

Yes good point… naturally “guzzling resources at planet eating rates” is quite expensive.

I’m so not sold on this AI stuff. It just seems like a fancy new way to create problems.

And comments like this show the damage done by such whitewashed reporting. The most documented genocide in history is happening before our eyes and Canadians “don’t have a dog in this fight.”

Note that ‘authoritarian’ tendencies only need to become visible when the people broadly turn against the ruling class. It’s like Ford’s “any colour you want, as long as it’s black.” Sounds like freedom until you start demanding a red one.

The tldr says 2013, but the full article calls it “the first such death in the province since 1989, when tracking began.”

… It did not indicate when the child died or their specific age.

So we just know they were somewhere between 0 and 5.

I don’t recall being warned away from facebook, google, etc. when it was revealed that all of the data they collect is accessible by the US government. China is supposed to be an adversary or whatever but the US has a much greater track record of meddling in affairs outside their borders…kinda feels like this is just ideology on display.

This is anecdotal, but I’ve known several people who immigrated and then chose to return to their home country. In at least one case, specifically because of the cost of living.

Tragic mistake my ass.

As of 20 March, at least 196 humanitarians have been killed in the Occupied Palestinian Territories since October 2023, according to figures compiled by the Aid Worker Security Database

The israeli regime needs to be dismantled and everyone involved put on trial.

Anyone who works nights, or an evening job that runs late like a bar or something, is currently used to having the date change in the middle of their “day”. I don’t think it’s really that big of a deal. It would be super weird at first, but kids who grew up with it would find our current system just as bananas as we would find this.

The ads in Toronto are so cringe.
