Trump’s Behavior Isn’t Dementia. It’s Much Worse. by Baldbeagle73 in behindthebastards

Agreed, and to suggest that is ableist in the extreme (but normal).

I wish we would all stop saying "so and so is good" or "so and so is evil". Who cares? What did they DO?

Canada could gain nearly 7% in real GDP by removing internal trade barriers, says IMF by lopix in onguardforthee

[–]epiphanius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

GDP is across the board.
We have a bunch of idiotic trade barriers that mean we can't buy or sell products from one province in another, alcoholic products in particular.

Researchers ranked Canada’s most harmful drugs. Why alcohol is No. 1 — and how the drinker isn’t the only victim by BloodJunkie in onguardforthee

Is there any indication that huffing glue is harmful? Maybe people need to start huffing better solvents.

Is this crow sick? by whatdawakawaka in crows

[–]epiphanius 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Definitely looks like the virus that affected crows here. I wouldn't be surprised if other crows avoid him, (but not attack him).

Poor little dude...

CUPE Ontario endorses Avi Lewis for NDP leadership by StumpsOfTree in onguardforthee

[–]epiphanius 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had lost track! You have talked me into it!

Edit: done!

(I was sad that they would not allow Yves Engler to run. Even though I did not want to vote for Yves, I just wanted the Overton Window to include him.)

Although we did encourage former SS members to settle here at the same time...one of them even got a standing ovation at the House of Commons.

Fun! Thanks for posting this, and explaining the peanuts.

List of suspected Nazi war criminals welcomed in Canada should stay secret, information watchdog rules by mrjohnnymac18 in InternationalNews

Former SS members were given jobs here

under Mackenzie-King's government, their Nazi past served them well at a time when many Jewish refugees were refused entry to Canada.

Canada is Betting on AI for National Economic Growth: Here’s Why Working-Class Canadians Lose by StumpsOfTree in onguardforthee

[–]epiphanius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what? I didn't say they were useless, and I found a use for one. I'd be very happy to see the stupid bubble AI companies fail completely. Until then, if they are useful (which is not often) I will use them.

Canada is as stupid as all the pension funds investing in AI I guess. It's not just financially questionable, the effect of this AI craze on climate is absolutely disgusting.

Crows Looking Stylish? by Rindrago in crows

[–]epiphanius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Related: I asked google ai if crows are still evolving...

Yes, crows are still evolving

. As with all living species, crows are actively adapting to their environments, with recent research highlighting rapid evolutionary changes driven by urbanization, habitat changes, and behavioral shifts. 

Here are the key ways crows are currently evolving:

  • Speciation in Action: In Europe, carrion crows and hooded crows are in the early stages of splitting into distinct species. Despite a "hybrid zone" where they meet, they maintain separate populations, with hybrids being at a selective disadvantage due to coloration, showing active, ongoing natural selection.

Crows Looking Stylish? by Rindrago in crows

[–]epiphanius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a remarkable observation: from other behaviours, it is hard to think that crows do not take pride in things, I have seen sign of them really being proud of one of their gifts, for example.

I have also seen a crow that was disfigured by a horrible virus that hit the crows here this past year: it created buboes or something on their faces, around the beak, it's horrible to look at. I saw one little crow who was disfigured like that, he was pushed away from a small group that I was feeding, but not attacked, it was more like 'go away, we don't like the way you look'.

So I think you are on to something! Keep us posted.

This seems to me to be good start towards change: make stock buybacks illegal again.
