Who said that?

The strawman.

That must have been some special magic booze to get the old man so drunk he couldn’t recognize that he was fucking his own daughters, yet leave him capable of getting it up to do the deed…

Also the lack of salt pillars

The US has a freebie wildcard

It’s called the “who’s gonna stop me” card.

Bullies like to play that one as often as possible.

We come in peace

Interesting… I wonder why?

Haven’t heard of kjiji, I’ll have to check it out.

It’s essentially Craigslist, but in Canada.

Craigslist doesn’t really have a user base here.

Of course, it always is.

But a lot of this type of enshittification can be difficult to learn about without getting your hands on thw product first. Especially if it’s a new model.

the CRA website? I’ve been able to access it on Firefox (through Linux) without being hassled.

Same here.

Maybe they’ve got some privacy plug-ins that are preventing the CRA website from functioning properly?

In the past, I have had to add my bank and some government websites to my whitelist

The problem is, you don’t always know they will do this until after you pay your money for them.

They already have - having Nukes.

That only defends against a sane leadership with a military chain of command that isn’t compromised.

Obama put in some regulations on the investment industry with the intent of preventing another sun-prime /derivative crisis.

And Trump removed those protections a few years later for no other reason that Obama had implemented it in the first place.

If it’s on private property who gives a shit

• Fires don’t respect property lines.

• Rescue workers still have to deal with the mayhem (and risks you have created) if you do something stupid on your own property.

If your idiot son wants to build a structurally questionable tree house and the parents don’t do anything about it and he dies that’s on them.

Some of us have human empathy.

See: Regulations around building structures on private property.

Even those are based on people doing it wrong in the past and endangering themselves and others.

The more judgement based exceptions you put in the regulations, the less compliance you have, and the more “rules lawyers” on your crew wasting time and energy trying to talk their way around some edge case loophole.

And the more often people will take the lazy option, rather then the safe one.

Maybe not, but it is a default app, and the vast majority of people can’t be bothered to install something better.

That time was back on November 6.

Or January 20.

Google scans YouTube videos for information about what products appear in them

Yes, but not specifically looking for products. They’re scanning to try to learn everything about the video with the goal of better matching suggestions to the interests (as determined by watch history) of viewers.

The intention is (as always) to increase viewer session time because the more time viewers spend on the platform, the more ads they see and ultimately the more money YouTube makes.

Of course, that scanning and view history can also be used to target ads with the goal of increasing ad click-thru and conversion (ultimately also driving the profit goal)

Starting with the late 70s then the election of Reagan

Also around that time televangelist Pat Robertson was an advisor to Reagan and even tried his own run for president.
