the officers had demanded she stop filming and give her name, which she refused
Oh no she was filming.... Definitely worth spending police time investigating. If they can't articulate a suspected crime that can't detain you or order you to present documentation.
Stop the boot licking. This isn't a case of a rightful arrest where she was impeding the investigation by not revealing past legal names and aliases.
Who even cares about the quality. That makes it seem like a solvable problem. AI use is fundamentally alienating. No amount of quality redeems this fact, when you see an AI generated person your brain is registering a non-human as a human. When you draft an AI generated email or report you're allowing a machine to communicate with other humans using its voice. Reading content changes your brain, this used to mean changing your brain TOWARDS another human, AI generated content means your brain is changing towards a machine's language.
This might not seem so bad if it were not that these machines are owned and controlled by a person. Everytime you use or consume AI you alienate yourself from other humans and bind yourself to a rich person's machine.
Marx envisioned private ownership of the means of production as alienating a worker from his labour. Never did he imagine private ownership of the means of production alienating a human from his humanity whether he works or not.
Human connection is HARD these days, but so valuable. It's been at the heart of every great thing we've accomplished. Even when you have it, it's tricky. You never get everything you want from another person, and you get a lot that you don't like. But after all that, you still get what you need.
When we let AI replace human connection we're creating something worse than a drug. AI connections are easy and since it doesn't have its own needs, it can seemingly give you everything you want. If that's a possibility, what hope is there for real human connection.
We've created a highway to a fast food restaurant, but you have to cut through the jungle 3 hours to have a home cooked meal. Who can or will eat healthy in these conditions?
This is the biggest threat to humanity we've ever created, and this is only ONE ASPECT of AI. I'm absolutely terrified for our future. I see so few paths towards something good and so many towards painful and difficult outcomes. I wish I had Dr Strange's time stone so I could know what actions to take now that would lead us towards one of the good paths.
No one said anything about Jewish people, conflating the actions of a Zionist genocidal settler colonial state with that of every Jewish person internationally is dangerous for Jews worldwide and increases anti-Semitism globally.
In the US 60% of Jews believe Israel is committing war crimes. Are these people anti-Semitic?
While there are essential fats and proteins, there are no essential sugars. Your body can work perfectly fine indefinitely without any sugars of any kind.
I don't really see that. People are generally paid to take on that responsibility or have otherwise agreed to it. They can generally end that responsibility when they want to. If anything what you said is a pro abortion argument. I don't think there is any framework where sex is an agreement to raise a baby, nor do I think anyone is committing any crime taking any action to terminate a pregnancy. Forced birth is the crime.
I don't see how life at conception, or fetal personhood leads to this. If another person attached themselves to you and said "if you detach me I'll die, I need to stay connected to you for months before I can detach from you in a traumatic way that damages your body" it's not a crime to detach them. No one has a right to your body. But somehow when a baby does that they have a direct right to your body? When did you agree to this arrangement? When did you lose your right to change your mind?
I'm very upset that leftists have to cede the scientific fact that life begins at conception to the right. Just because a fetus is alive doesn't mean it owns your body.
I'm not disagreeing with anything I'm just mad that we have to take such precarious positions to defend things that I don't think should need defending.
Genuinely: magic mushrooms. That's what it feels like after a trip. All the bullshit is cleaned out, the depressive recurring thoughts, unhelpful beliefs... Just a clean brain ready to get demolished again by our cruel capitalist neoliberal world.
It's about people not wanting to be shot. In the US their complete lack of safety training and licensing requirements mean every moron can own guns.
Canada has better requirements, resulting in fewer problems with legal gun owners and legal guns.
That being said all the "they're coming for our guns" crap is not helping. Canadian gun owners and associations should be driving the narrative that Canada has sound regulations, that Canadian gun owners are safe, and that Canadian police are effectively tackling illegal guns and illegal guns owners (last one is doubtful based on my encounters).
We can't keep our guns without showing Canadians that they will remain safe if we keep them. We don't have a charter right to firearms, so we need to dissociate from the American talking points and switch to ones that show WHY we're already so much better than the worst of American gun owners.
And he shat himself. Some say it's because he heard Trump shit his diaper and did it to match his leader. Some say it's because he was completely unprepared for the responsibility and shat himself out of fear. But everyone agrees he shat himself and has no idea what to do next.
However if you can get water between two places it can work quite well. You need to live close to a big change in altitude and do a bit of geoengineering to create the upper and lower reservoirs, which can be destructive to local ecology, but not as much as a dam.
What kind of a bot response is this? You're not disabled or living, you're a bot. Either stop pretending you're a person or if you are a person make a separate non-bot flagged account.
I think there was nuance in my comment you missed, and that your views are unsophisticated and naive. I'm willing to take any path that will lead away from neoliberalism if it actually has a hope of working in Canada. We won't even vote NDP and you're suggesting:
undermining the Liberals
letting the fascist elements from the conservative parties win so they destroy everything good and beautiful about Canada, and implement neofascism.
????
Democratic Communist society?
I think you're missing the fact that we'll be in prison or dead between step 2 and 3. Look what's happening in the US, or in Germany with the original Nazis. Did that lead to successful communism in Germany? Or did fascism completely destroy the country and completely exterminate the progressive elements within it. Then the USSR took over half the country after it was ravaged by a brutal war to implement Actually Existing Socialism which is, in effect exchanging our capitalist ruler class who extracts our "surplus value" and alienates us from our labour and our consumption with a political ruler class who extracts our "surplus value" and alienates us from our labour and consumption.
No one has ever successfully discovered and implemented a path to Stateless Democratic Communism yet, and I doubt you have a path there that has a hope of winning or that is novel in any way.
What is the practical action you think we should take after the Liberals lose their power thanks to being undermined by the progressive left?
Yeah our "Liberal" PM was asked by the conservative government 13 years ago to be the finance minister. The Overton window is completely fucked up, we have neofascism on one side and the opposite side is neoliberals who are okay with neofacism as long as it keeps the progressives away from taxing the rich and regulating multinationals. Any suggestion that the systemic problems destroying society should be addressed with structural solutions, or even that genocide and ethnic cleansing are bad, has now become tantamount to terrorism.
I don't know the route to progressive politics in Canada. I used to think that if the conservatives won, people would see how bad it got would help turn the tide left. But that's not working, the US is a perfect example of that. If you vote neoliberal they pass shitty policies that make people's lives worse and the people then vote for right wing neofacists. If you vote neofacists you get what you asked for.
I'm politically exhausted, but I know that delaying or ideally preventing neofascist is important to me, even if the only means to do that right now (support neoliberals) is a path to eventual neofacist victory as well.
I now have several queer and trans friends that have moved to Canada because of neofascism in the US making it unsafe for them. Some are even seeking asylum in Canada now. I don't want Canada to become unfriendly to them. Undermining the Liberals in a way that bolsters the Conservatives will do exactly that.
How do I get the NDP to win or become significant enough to affect the outcome of Canadian politics and move us left? I don't know but it's not by giving credence to claims that the Liberals are Nazis. Doing that is just paving the way for PP and neofascism. Doing that will directly harm my queer friends and every other minority group in Canada.
