  • EU lawmakers push to ban term 'veggie-burger'

    Jump

  • It really is stupid.

    What's the difference when calling something a chicken burger? It's a burger made with chicken instead of beef. Just like a veggie burger is a burger made from plants.

  • After the third time why didn't they confiscate the vehicle? That should be a thing if it isn't.

  • I was hoping to get more information on the historical budgets, and interesting found that Canada post has their annual reports available to be downloaded and viewed on their website

    However, from 2004 to 2017 you can get really detailed reports such as

    And more

    But starting 2018 and onwards it only shows bullshit paragraphs about the president's message and select pieces of information, not raw data, which is also the year they supposedly started to loss money instead of be profitable.

    I don't like how non-transparent that seems. I was also trying to find what the budget was historically and when or if it has been raised to keep up with inflation but it's too early to do that on my phone

  • I would imagine there are a hundred other options for countries that would allow a training base that's not in fucking Idaho that didn't require a plane as a bribe.

  • Do you regret giving him a pass for that $200 million plane bribe?

  • Please? I finished Good Omens... what next?

  • The good place?

  • Mary E. Brunkow, one of this year's Nobel Prize winners in Medicine, has only 34 published papers and an H-index of 21.

    Jump

  • Honestly if I see someone who publishes like 200+ papers I would just be wondering.... What the hell did they contribute? They're churning shit out the door so either they weren't involved much and did the bare minimum to put their name on the paper or it was mostly inconsequential and non-impressive shit that you could churn out in a few weeks.

  • Woohoo! Let's end one genocide with another genocide!

  • EU Parliament votes to restrict 'steak' and 'burger' labels to meat only

    Jump

  • You underestimate how stupid the average person is.

  • So this just happened in Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦. A driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of his vehicle, got upset at her, before leaving the scene

    Jump

  • I mean, it's a marked cross walk but it also appears to possibly be at an intersection with lights. Seeing as there is also a pedestrian crossing on the bottom right, at least one of those people is crossing when they probably are not supposed to be if there is a light controlled intersection there.

    Doesn't mean that they deserve to be hit, or that the driver wasn't an ass, but context matters.

  • Public transit wastes money

    Jump

  • Too cheap? Public transit should be free.

    Offer to pay more taxes instead or defund stuff like the military.

  • Denmark plans social media ban for under-15s as Prime Minister warns phones ‘stealing childhood’

    Jump

  • Maybe instead of banning social media there should be some sort of consensus as to how social media should operate. Get rid of algorithms designed to become addicting or push products harmful to people. Reduce advertisements. Don't push content that's from around the world, focus on things immediately connected to someone's life like posts from friends and family not Rogan and Tate.

  • I'm Canadian, and there's a work conference in the states in an area I really would have wanted to go to if it were a year ago.

    All expenses paid by the company for a week of travel and schmoozing.

    Still not going.

  • Microsoft 365 Copilot's commercial failure

    Jump

  • Well, Microsoft doesn't care if you use it, only if the business buys the license.

  • Marine park threatens to euthanize 30 whales if Canada does not provide funding

    Jump

  • How much do you wanna bet that any fines for killing the whales will be substantially cheaper than relocation, so the park will do that and just eat the fine rather than risk the province confiscate the whales and then charge them later?

  • Ostrich farmers awaiting Supreme Court decision get little attention from Ottawa

    Jump

  • Avian flu doesn't have 100% mortality, birds survive it all the time these ostriches aren't that special medically or scientifically, just lucky.

    We don't quarantine people forever because they are people, not animals.

    There is also president to set, because if they get an exception every farm down the road will ignore avian flu outbreaks because it might mean 40% of their flock can survive instead of all of the flock being killed and then tie up the courts forever fighting dozens of farms in court instead of just one.
