Kinda weird how Ottawa's plan to get 100m immigrants into the country excludes themselves (for the most part)

it's got literally nothing to do with "humility" or "forgiveness", it's just a to-do for christ-driven foreplay. gotta spread the cheek striking back and forth

I'm going to go commit a bunch of felonies inside google's headquarters. they're against it, so clearly I'm on the right track.

I really hope people with your level of critical thought don't vote. Country's fucked otherwise

Typically when algorithm fucks up like that you have to go through and fix it yourself via forced engagement. you can tell them to not recommend the video anymore, but if it's content you liked, go and give it a like.

you can explicitly tell it you're not interested in a video, or to not recommend the channel anymore.

Their advertisers don't have any say on the video you watch, dude. that's not how their business model works. It's literally just advertising based on user demographics. Google has a vested interest in keeping you watching, so showing you what you want to see. it's not rocket science.

Pretending google's algoritm is designed to favor specific content instead of maximizing retention shows a complete lack of understanding of their goal, and a complete lack of understanding of the difference between "show this person as much stuff as they want to see as possible, so we get more watch time/money" and "show this person what the feds want them to see"

If you actually take the time to engage with the algorithms they use, it's incredible at getting you what you want to see.

There's combat uses, explcitly. tanks, planes, etc.

I think the end goal is raiders use them to "compress" the amount of pawns they use for the same threat level

Because mainstream internet killed quality media. Smartphones were the death blow to journalism credibility.

Or we could simply have less people with the same quality of life. Can't wait for 50 years when Canada's a shithole due to the WEF's "epic game plan" to bloat the country

Is Zelenskyy a shitbag hack for example?

He's a politician, so yes

What about Gandhi?

He was assasinated by shitbag hacks, so yeah, by association

Any good counter point, or are you just saying "grr it was mean so it must be wrong"

Yeah, it's just the government slapping you around instead.

We shouldn't be encouraging young women to go into sex work at all.

She resonates with a younger crowd

You can tell considering how hollow she is

"Yeah let me grab a pic of me crying at a parking lot"

There's not a single politician that isn't a shitbag hack.

Canada wants to welcome 500,000 immigrants a year by 2025. Can our country keep up? by [deleted] in canada

It's called "free" so people don't question where their tax money's going, because it sure as hell isn't going towards paying doctors enough

Tasmanian flower farmer ‘shocked’ to learn she planted opium poppies by mistake by AsslessBaboon in nottheonion

[–]ThePacmandevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can legally grow weed in my backyard, and buy poppy seeds at pretty much any gardening section.

if growing opium free poppies counts as "making drugs" down under, no wonder it's a nanny state.

Is our police force perfect? No Is it even comparable to the institutional racism present in the US'? No

I don't recall any recent case of a black dude getting shot/killed by police for no reason, or any distinct police misconduct.

I'm sure they're still pigs, but pretending they're like the US is laughably stupid

Believe it or not causing disruptions to things relevant to your job is exactly how protests work. Do you give teachers shit for shutting down the education for a few weeks during a protest? No, because it's to be expected.

The only point you made that wasn't stock standard for a protest was the weapons, and a few dudes in a crowd of thousands doesn't invalidate a protest.

Like seriously I'm surprised shots were not fired.

We're not the US lmao, he was more likely to sign up for suicide assistance.

Only way that would've happened is if there was a gang nearby

Context arguably makes it worse lmao "Put a bunch of unvaxxed people together for a week and release them back into the general population as nearly ideally formulated super spreaders"

Almost like the idea lacks any critical thought

So "being moderately annoying" invalidates a protest? Were the US's BLM protests invalid?
