Yeah, it’s like the other commenters all identified that Lemmy is based on communities not users, but stopped JUST SHORT of coming to the right conclusion. Community QR codes!

The idea of letting young engineers at a university design production equipment is WILD to me. Universities make PROTOTYPES. The gap between prototype and reliable production equipment is so big you could drive a bus through it.

A good production engineer is worth their weight in gold but when you have shitty ones you’re better off letting the workers run the ship. At least they know what’s happening and where the hangups are. You’ll know a good engineer because they’re down talking to the lead hands on the shop floor because they want to understand what’s actually happening and run ideas through the shop before they fuck with things.

And he can pardon them for all crimes and get back to what they were doing. No man, Trump is closer to ending the rule of law than anyone understands… We have to do the right stuff at the right time or were doing fuhrer 2 electric boogaloo by summer

Once they’re primaried, people can vote for whoever is the better candidate.

I love the bonds story, I love how it’s tied to many actual true events. I want it to be true in my heart.

But there isn’t any evidence that it’s true, and I don’t think Blundell is the guy who would have the “inside scoop” and leak it when no one else does. He just doesn’t have the credentials or the connections. This combined with the verifiably false and misleading statements on his site like were excluding the US from NORAD means he’s simply not a credible source.

This kind of thing is exactly how the right wing conspiracy mindset started gaining broad acceptance and I just don’t want to see us on the left fall for the same trap.

Dean Blundell is a former radio shock jockey who has been publishing pro-left disinformation and conspiracy theories lately.

He has an article stating Carney orchestrated a bonds sell off with Europe and Japan which would be cool as fuck if it were real… the story is widely discredited.

He has another false article stating Carney kicked the US out of NORAD.

I love reading his stories because they’re well written and designed to make leftists feel good. If you treat them as fiction you won’t be likely to spread the misinformation they contain.

Wow that isn’t in good faith AT ALL. Downvotes aren’t bans.

You don’t have a right to an audience, if people don’t like what you have to say, they don’t have to listen. They can also let you know if you’re a shit person. Maybe give you an opportunity to reflect and have personal growth.

This type of “we must tolerate the intolerant” energy is how Reddit became neo-fascist. First being against DEI and Palestinians is a heinous political position. Second of all people who are against DEI believe it’s racism, if he’s okay with private institutions using what he believes are racist policies, that’s a heinous position.

What you’re basically reading is: “I’m a racist, and I think private institutions should be able to have policies I think are racist”

Yeah that’s a no from me.

We’re not trying to boycott EVERY corporations. We’re voting with our wallets for the lesser evil the same way we vote at the ballots for the lesser evil.

That’s an uneducated take. The amount of goods and services required by a population as a whole isn’t affected by boycotts. What one company loses others will replace since they have a profit motive to do so. This requires them to hire additional labour which can easily come from what labour boycotted companies lay off.

That’s assuming a boycott has such a large impact as to require a workforce adjustment which is basically a fantasy scenario in most cases.

Stop convincing people into more apathy than is already plaguing us.

Absolutely, we need to end the anti jailbreaking laws that allow US companies to extract rents from Canadian customers.

If left wing people and normal people mark it neutral, and right wing people mark it far left, the average will be a left bias for the meter. These kinds of “fairness meters” assume everyone is acting in good faith and the right is never acting in good faith.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Brain damage leads to conservative values. That should be pretty obvious by now. That’s why conservative leaders are against environmental and consumer regulations. More lead, more PFAS, more conservatives.

I mean if he did it on purpose they should keep him around… Maybe he’ll expose more shit.

I love that when Trump talks all the conservatives come out of the woodwork to tell us “what he REALLY meant” even though his words are plainly obvious to everyone.

Oh maybe you can let me know how Musk did a perfectly normal gesture, or maybe it’s because he’s autistic so Nazi salutes are cool now.

Maybe you can tell me about how he’s doing big brain stewardship of taxpayer dollars and optimizing government efficiency and not butchering government institutions with a chainsaw so they can give themselves tax breaks.

God you conservatives are just so gosh darned smart. Bless your hearts.

Here is the clip. https://www.c-span.org/clip/public-affairs-event/user-clip-trump-admits-they-rigged-the-election/5150039

That’s fair. It’s pretty ironic that HBC initially sucked all the value from native communities, then after it was sold to American shareholders they used it to suck any remaining value from Canadian consumers and now it’s completely worthless.

Those gift card purchases are going to be a real death knell.

That’s a problem we have globally. Although it might seem like Trump style populism vs Canadian neo-liberalism(with all it’s pros and cons), we’re both purple. You guys just have a bit more right wing red in the dye mix. It’s plausible that Canada elects our own Trump then we can both be stupid.

The only ideology that has a chance at stopping the populist wave is Sanders style social democracy because it addresses the same core issue of wealth disparity. But it doesn’t look like anyone is electing that anytime soon.

I think we’re running out the possibility that all the cars caught fire at the same time too early!
