I had a casual conversation yesterday with a woman who walked up to us to pet our dog.

She talked about how she works for an organization that tries to rescue dogs world wide from danger zones, like war zones. Super interesting person, very nice

She talked a bit about how they rescued dogs from Gaza and then how apparently the Israel government of all helped them rescuing those dogs. She then stopped for a second and the sad look in her eyes shows she very clearly understood the point that for Israel, dogs are worth more than Palestinians.

But criticizing Israel is the same as antisemitism now, so I guess I’m an antisemite

I guess if only find it remotely fine if the glasses were very obviously equipped with a camera, bulky and what not.

If not, then its just a pedo cam a guy can use at a childrens playground

I depended on a closed source provider and got fucked over by them

Really now? But that never happens!

It’s just a way to pressure dumbass politicians into agreeing to give them the money.

It’s all tactics

EPA promises immediate investigation

You mean the oil exec Cheeto lackey that got put in place as the director of the EPA, that EPA? He will have it investigated and the results will be that meta isn’t doing anything wrong

Like in casinos where the surprise is that you won nothing

Yeah, people love that, and gambling is addiction is real

“Based on the successful Election of the now President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, who I was proud to Endorse, and our relationship with him, I am pleased to announce that the United States will be sending an additional 5,000 Troops to Poland,” Trump said on Truth Social.

You mean the one you hated while you were fervently supporting Orban?

Uh huh

Aaahh religion, the bane of our existence, the psychosis that is accept as normal that will kill us all.

Isn’t it wonderful, look at the good that religions have brought us like the dark ages, the constant torture and murder of those that dare to step out of line, the constant rampant sexual abuse, the mental and physical abuse, the…

Why are we doing religion again?

You don’t say!

And it even mentioned the hot air balloon Tesla which is overvalued by at least a factor of 10 of not 100

I’ve been saying this for years already; all Elmo Musk companies are bullshit companies

SpaceX got 3 billion dollars to get the US to the moon. They burned through that and got zero results. Those shit starship rockets barely reach LEO empty, and they never got any of the other hardware ready. If I do that, I’d go to jail for theft or something, but here? Meh…

Repeat after me: Elmo Musk is a command, every word out of his mouth is a lie, and that is how he got rich. Well, Lucky with rich parents, lucky with a company buy out, and lying lying lying

Canada, in a single image? I’ve driven cars in most European countries, Canada, US (small amount), Mexico.

Canada has the worst road designs of them all, though since almost everything here is modelled after the US, I guess it could still be worse there

I regularly see road situations where I can only wonder how high they were, what they were smoking, and where I can get some

Intersections where only one lane has traffic lights, the other doesn’t. How are you supposed to cross that? Simple: you throw a hail Mary, close your eyes, andale a run for it while praying to some non-exist God. This is howy stepson got sideswiped, by a guy having to do exactly that.

Making a left turn in Canada? Great, you got green! Go? Well no, cars are still coming from the other side, they inexplicably got green too so now the intersection with traffic lights also acts as an intersection without traffic lights. Amazing designs!

But wait, there is more!

Once those cars from the other side are gone, you might be tempted to think that you can now just drive, but noooooooh, this is Canada! Pedestrians also got green so now you need to try and avoid those too if you can. The amount of near misses that I’ve had and that I’ve seen with others is staggering, crossing roads in Canada is fucking dangerous.

All this adds up to that going left basically means that you get green light and you can’t do shit until it gets orange, then you quickly squeeze yourself through and pray that you didn’t murder a school class by accident.

This, in turn, means that going to the left is an exercise in patience, because each green red cycle, about one car will be able to go to the left. If each cycle takes a minute, and you have ten cars in front of you, that means you’ll have to wait ten minutes I shit you not.

Compare that to the Netherlands, where intersections get redesigned and rebuilt every time when anyone sees there are tooany accidents, and there are soany amazing traffic flow control designs there. Here in canada, traffic flow designs is “road, done”

I love Canada, I feel proudly Canadian, but Canadian road designs are removed as fuck.

I got that on my list.

I need to make a post here soon as well about my setup, I guess

Filing for IPO these days is just the same as having a live hand grenade in your hands and trying to sell that as quickly as possible to a nice group of people

Here is another tip: use DuckDuckGo and get useful results and stop feeding the Google Dragon altogether

From what I’ve been reading it seems the UK is in a hurry to get back as well

Chemetco and its senior officers became involved in multiple federal investigations during the 1990s. In 1992, the Federal Election Commission found that Chemetco, as well as its company president, John M. Suarez, and associate José Bóveda, arranged unlawful corporate and foreign campaign contributions affecting the U.S presidential primary in Missouri. The FEC’s General Counsel described the payments as “clearly laundered money,” and evidenced that funds were routed through entities owned by Chemetco and a Belgian holding company.[1] Suarez took over ownership of the company the following year.[1]

In 1996, an inspector from the Illinois EPA discovered a concealed 10-inch pipe discharging heavy metals from the smelter into wetlands connected to the Mississippi River. The finding led to a joint investigation by the U.S EPA, FBI, and Illinois State Police, leading to federal indictments against the company and its chief officer, Denis L. Feron, who owned parent company Metallo Chimique. Prosecution and conviction followed, for conspiracy and felony violations of the Clean Water Act. After Chemetco entered a nolo contendere (“no contest”) plea, the company was fined $3.8 million, then ceased operations in 2001, following Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

The case established legal precedent when the Seventh Circuit held in United States v. Chemetco, Inc. that the number of violation days is a sentencing factor for judges, rather than a matter for a jury. Atmospheric modeling later identified Chemetco as one of the largest individual North American sources of dioxins in the Arctic, including measurable fallout in Nunavut, Canada.[2] Federal investigations also documented extensive worker exposure to health problems including chronic beryllium disease and hazards such as widespread lead overexposure.[3]

The former Chemetco site was made a Superfund cleanup project in 2010 and remains under oversight by the EPA. Remediation continues to address contaminated soils, slag, and hazardous waste; at the same time, ongoing litigation involves numerous Potentially Responsible Parties including Fortune 500 companies.

And of course there is nothing about the entire C suite being jailed for this…

How many people died because of this? How many have gotten sick? If I poison a person, I go to jail because doh. If I poison 10 million people, I get a few million dollars in fines

I hate this world.

If this Tesla pipeline is true, I want investigated who knew about it, who came up with the idea, who signed off on it, who implemented it, who dug it, and I want ALL of them jailed after Tesla being fined into bankruptcy over this so that there is a huge cleanup fund available. Being the narcissistic asshole that he is, I feel free to assume Elmo musk knew about it or probably came up with the idea in the first place. Fuck all of these people

1 I don’t know 2 it is not

Funny how these supposedly specialized police officers have such a cool name, SWAT, because of course they do because it’s the US and they have to look and sound cool and do cool stuff.

Never mind that they supposed to be serving and protecting the citizens

I know these specialized teams also exist in other countries. What are they called there? No fucking idea, but it ain’t cool because in those countries, those guys are actually the real deal and they don’t need cool nicknames or military equipment, they are there to do a job.

Fuck, the US always was such a shit show, why are you people allowing police to be so fucking put of control?

That… Is insane

We too have tights, y’know, like the right to starve out employees, the right to overwork our employees, the right to hold slaves…

Too soon?

… Why… or how, would McDonald’s support Israel and the IDF?

I mean, that seems such an easy target to avoid and just go “I’m staying out of this one” for any company, but McDonald’s? That just has to be for the sport

Which is why we all are using Linux now.

Fuck anything Microsoft
