I would be happy with Freeland as PM but I don’t think she could win the next election unfortunately. She’s too linked to Trudeau during a time when people are really looking for change. Carney seems to be the only one people are really rallying behind

But yeah agreed about Canadians missing Trudeau. I don’t think there’s anyone who doesn’t have something to say about him (kind of inevitable after a decade in office really) but he’ll be remembered as an amazing PM imo. He was probably the best person to be in charge for the plethora of crises we’ve been through recently

Yeah, if it was a vote between that dog shit and PP, I would happily vote for the dog shit.

PP is running for PM but he still doesn’t have a security clearance, even after it came out that there was foreign interference within his own party (he’d need the clearance to get the specifics on the interference). He also seems to be struggling to show any real patriotism in the face of all of Trump’s threats. He pretty much always deflects to “Trudeau bad”

I don’t believe that he wouldn’t just sell us out to the USA the minute he takes office

Your brain on iPad kid

Just like with his stupid trade war with Canada. The chaos is the point

I think one of the major reasons they wanted to close the free APIs was to prevent data scraping for AI models without paying the big dollars. Of course that also meant users would be limited to the service’s own apps with their own ads so it’s a bit of a win-win for them.

I’d imagine the only people paying the insane API prices are the AI/ML companies (edit: like google with its Reddit deal)

I’m all for the US not being the centre of the universe anymore but it feels like maybe we should have a transition period? The US just deleting itself in such a short timeframe is a tad chaotic

I have three Proxmox nodes named: acid1, freebones, and a partially decommissioned node aptly named pve

acid1 was named from a sticker I got in a big collection. I was extra sold on the name when I did some research into acid1 tests.

freebones is from an inside joke from a GPT3.5 bot I terribly finetuned using my friend groups entire chat history. At one point the bot randomly said “algebra: you get free bones” and I kind of just ran with that

Does it matter though? The people with the most firearms are the most indoctrinated. And besides that, Americans have always talked about needing the right to bear arms to dispose of a tyrannical government, but it seems like people aren’t even putting in the effort to vote or protest, let alone taking out the fascists. So what exactly is the point of all the guns? Besides the purpose of supplying all the criminals in both Mexico and Canada with illegal weapons

I heard that we actually vaccinate our livestock too while apparently doing so is illegal in the US?

I’ll be honest, I’m being a tad dramatic but I do mostly mean what I said. I’m not struggling but it does feels like things could go (even more) sideways at any minute.

I appreciate it though 🙏

This’ll surely make America great again!

I can’t afford a retirement plan but I expect to die in the water wars or fascist USA invasion of Canada anyway C:

Before I got my celiac diagnosis, it’d be mid shower :^). Curse you delicious gluten

Yeah, every public service now has to turn a profit except for highways and extra lanes

I’d genuinely feel safer if we kicked the US out of NATO at this point

What I’m saying is that you can have those social programs that you say Europe has and the USA would actually be able to put even more money towards your military. Your current system is wildly less efficient because it’s setup to enrich middlemen (insurance companies).

The social programs existing have nothing to do with military spending in Europe

god forbid girls have hobbies

The US spends more per capita on healthcare than any country with socialised healthcare

Australia?
