As someone from near by to Balzac, that is one hell of an abscure place to put you. I think theres exactly 10 people that live there and there’s some giant malls. That’s about it.
I just looked on wiki and it says population 1 person.
Foreign ownership is just a thing. You don’t need a residence to own anything. Same here in Canada.
From there, you get 6 months visitors visas every year.
Strong disagree.
Putting it in quotes highlights the alleged progress that gets talked about. But it calls it out as false. This isn’t uncommon in English, not sure of other languages.

It’s not that violence is never okay, it’s more a tool in the tool chest that has its uses.
Well likely need violence to redistribute wealth yes, but violence is more than physical and still involved in community policing. But the difference is it’s mean to serve the community, not hold them in check.
There’s a fine line to draw between letting people self govern and ensuring the safety of peoples.
But again, this is up to communities to decide what is best. Sometimes violence and intervention are necessary. But those tools are reserved for extremes.
It’s not that you can trust it a little, it’s that you can’t trust it ever. It’s just saying want it thinks you want to hear, not what is true.
You know asking AI is asking to be lied to yes?
Like, Apple has gone so far as to say it’s impossible for current LLMs to reason.
It’s incapable of knowing what is true in it’s current form according to apple.
Don’t trust AI to actually know anything.
We build real community. That’s the answer to all of it.
If we all feel we own the park, we’ll start taking care of it more. Rather than it being the cities (i.e. someone else’s) problem.
How do we give land back? We decide as a community to do that.
Also, land back isn’t about ownership, it’s about stewardship. If we were community focused, we’d understand that, and maybe even participate in it.
How do we do justice? We let community decide what’s best.
Fuck these countries. We should be caring and looking out for our neighbours. Not these nation states.
How do we deal with wealth redistribution? Support community. Spend as local as you can. Give your wealth to community.
It’s not about heorarchy, it’s about being mutually invested in eachother. Not just “friends”, not just hanging out, but sticking through tough times. Calling out BS. Trying out best to bring our the best in eachother.
Giving power to people is not the same as democracy. People have a right to be governed however they want to be. If a community wants a king, sure. That’s their right as a people. There’s a difference between intervening on something like a genocide, and imposing democracy on a people that don’t want it.
My problem is there’s an assumption that you know what’s best for people, rather than self determination of peoples.
You think it’s a BS line because even in US and Canada at least (where I’m most familiar with). We’re still under (though to a much lesser extent) authoritarianism.
The Government knowingly executed a probably innocent man.
The victims family, and even the prosecution, admits they got it wrong.
How is this not authoritarianism if the state can execute innocent people?
Just because you can vote, doesn’t mean you have power.
It is yes. There’s no central server that logs are collected to or anything like that.
That’s NOT the same as ad blocking.
Borswers will still be browsers just like any other OS and precautions should be made there.
Not the person you replied to, but I do use Linux (arch btw).
Linux is a free (as in freedom) and open source software that basically powers the internet.
A vast majority of servers on the internet are running Linux. It’s powerfully but that’s a double edge sword. It’s easy to cut yourself too if your unfamiliar with the edges.
Because it’s completely open source, there are endless customizations and optimizations you can make. The art is knowing what, how, and where. But that’s true of windows and macos.
It’s vertically less creepy with AI and logging garbage compared to apple and Microsoft.
It’s popular with nerds because it’s free and customizable. IMO that can come at a cost of user-friendly experiences. But it’s all about learning the edges. The other two have plenty, most are just used to it.
Adding to the other reply,

Is more probably what there referencing.
Doesn’t make it better, but for sure a different cultural context
Not the person who replied to you, but yes I’ve worked a union job, and your accusation is still wild.
You think the workers know what’s in the containers, but management doesn’t?
How can buisness be done with a power so volatile?
Honestly no, and that’s okay?
Early web2 websites like MySpace did become “popular”. But IMO one of its layckings was trying out web2 by evolving something from web1’s static websites.
Where Facebook is the platform that popularized web2 in a way that worked with what web2 was and fundamentally build something new off of that.
I think Lemmy/mastatdon/most current federated clones that exist today won’t last all that long. Something that is built with federation to its core and instead of just being a feature, is central to its offering.
What is that? Not a god damn clue.
But I’m excited to try it out.
Disclaimer: not a historian. Born in the early 90s so a lot of my judgement above is bassed off of foggy memories and are my opinions and only opions.
You have to find the shop and pay some gold, but when you equip them you get +2 programming and can be combined with BLÅHAJ for +2 gender euphoria.
You keep saying it’s not as bad as Hitler or mao, but then akwnoledge it has been?
This ignores atrocities that we did do in the time. Like the Alberta eugenics board. Just because the scale of people wasn’t the same, doesn’t mean it wasn’t bad.
When do you think the last residential school closed? This is RECENT times.
It’s not a suffering Olympics. It’s not about the number of bodies, it’s about the attitude of those who stood by and benefited from the system.
And just because the starlight tours are illegal, can you find one example of an officer who was prosecuted for it? Because if there’s no punishment is it really illegal?
To sya they’re incomparable is to ignore the people who are suffering, telling you it is.
It’s funny how you equate capataliam with democratic there.
Authoritarianism is bad in all forms.
But there’s a town in Texas that offers a $10,000 bounty to report me using the public bathroom.
But please tell me how I’m not oppressed.
And if you think Canada is innocent, what do you think we did to the natives in the name of capitalism?
What do you think the RCMP does with start light tours that are still happening?
You say that like holocaust denialism isn’t actually also a crime in Germany.
They’ve done both.
My only thought is there’s an Amazon fulfillment centre there for Calgary and area, but like, Calgary is still one hell of a random Canadian place to put you.
