It’s easy dismiss this as more BS coming out of his mouth. However, the US kidnapped Venezuela’s head of state in January, now controls Venezuela’s oil (a huge source of income and oil), and only gives a little bit to Venezuela.

More recently, the US is trying to directly destabilize Europe. US congress voted to support Morocco in taking back the currently Spanish enclave, Ceuta. It is beginning to look like the US launched a social media disinformation campaign that caused 50,0000 migrants to try to cross the border into Ceuta in a single day (a highly irregular number). Migrants say they saw online that if they made it in they would be granted EU residency (or whatever). When Spain expressed support for the migrants, pretty much every EU head of State turned on Spain.

Chump is full of shit. But at the same time, he’s clearly fascist and spreading it globally, which MSM is under-reporting and normalizing, ofc

Unfortunately, fascists see their own hypocrisy as a sign of strength; they seem themselves as above the rules. Such thorough dishonesty (and disconnect from reality, from civility) that I don’t know why one would ever listen to them, let alone believe them or take them seriously

Journalism is so dead (killed, really), eg tech journalism that parrots industry press releases verbatim even when they’re BS, that I would rather a headline flag a questionable (or worse) statement as such with “blamed, smashed, etc.” than present it as truth, like “Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Says Americans Soon Won’t Need Retirement Savings Thanks To AI”. I’m moving on

listen i know you took the article name verbatim…

Not quite. Obviously no one on ‘Fox News’ is going to say or ask anything with any intelligence. The “ripped” was a social media response; and I stop reading (MSM) articles when I see algorithmic social media posts. I posted this article because it’s an example of how disconnected from reality and/or completely lying Chump’s regime is. I believe many intelligent people did ‘rip’ this idiot for his idiotic line, so the headline is truthful

Agreed! Wealth hoarding is a huge problem! But it’s the billionaires, not the septuagenarians (ppl in their 70s) that are the main culprits. Generationalism instead of ageism may have been more accurate. And, sure, they can both be guilty. But the billionaires are ~1000x - 10^9x(?) more responsible. So, maybe refocus your criticism a bit. You may be coming from a good place. Peace!

There are bigoted and non-bigoted ways of talking about differences between different groups of people.

From what you’ve shared so far, I think disinformation has clearly worked on you. They wanting you fighting a culture war (eg, ageism), so that you’re not fighting a class war (eg, tackling climate change, demanding a wealth tax)

You’re hard to follow (and ageist). I’m not trying to put healthcare workers on a pedestal, nor dissect what is “smart”.

All I’m saying is that, unfortunately, there’s a much broader swath of the population that’s susceptible to disinformation than “knuckle dragging dumbshit[s]” and [the elderly].

I disagree. I think news literacy continues to fall as people’s access to news is increasingly disconnected from the source and author (eg, they get news mainly from an algorithmic social media feed or a chatbot, which might not mention or link to the original source).

I work in healthcare with smart people who’ll often freely admit that they have little awareness of current sociopolitical events. Those same folks will generally assume that mainstream Canadian media accurately reflects the Palestinian genocide or how concerned they should be about climate change (obviously it does not; corporate and colonial interests are prioritized over journalism)

I think this is why I’ve seen multiple stories recently about disinformationists targeting chatbots: People who use chatbots typically don’t fact check. Use or non-use of chatbots is probably associated with a steep difference in critical thinking ability. So by targeting chatbots, you’re targeting more ignorant, impressionable, and helpless people. Like cults or scammers who prey on lonely or elderly people. They’re seeking the easiest-to-manipulate and concentrating their efforts among those people

Yes, that seems to fit. Thanks for clarifying :). I’ll delete my snark

Of course Trump is worse, for Palestinians, for Americans, for everyone

Consider including this critical context in the post body if you’re going to post such a questionable headline, otherwise people will rightly jump in to flag glaring issues suggestive of m/disinformation

A useful early data point, a survey study of kids 3 months post policy change; thanks for sharing. But what they implemented so far in Australia wasn’t much of a barrier and doesn’t seem that representative of what could happen under effective id-gating. Maybe kids have more fight in them than I give them credit for though; that’s what I’m hearing from the room.

Although two-thirds of teenagers in the study said they had to complete age verification checks, only 5% of 12- to 13-year-olds and 11% of 14- to 15-year-olds had to provide a photo of official ID. The two most common checks were asking teens their age and uploading a selfie.

That was the delay phase, after the denial phase. Now we’re in the fatalism phase. (Carbon capture is a ruse.) To be clear the best time to stop burning fossil fuels was yesterday, the next best time is today. Fatalism, like delay and denial, only serve to line investors’ pockets and imperil all life on this planet for centuries or millennia to come. It’s unfathomable

Edit:
I feel like the updated title fits better: Canada’s promises to capture carbon span almost 20 years, with little gains

Two decades of records show Canadian politicians making big promises about carbon capture technology.

In 2008, one government report claimed Canada could capture as much as 600 million tonnes of carbon a year — and carbon capture technology could be “implemented quickly.”

From 2000 to 2024, a total of just 68.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide was captured across Canada and experts say the technology has yet to be proven at scale.

Thanks! :)

Great question. Accessibility compliance (eg, text-to-voice screen reader compatibility) is probably the main reason why we’re not there already

Geez, LW defederated from ML? I missed that. Team flairs would be cool. I prefer the lemmy online UI over the piefed one, but I’d access this community through my lemmy.ca account, so that’s a null point. .zip has cloudflare on all files and/or posts, which makes viewing those posts more cumbersome for me- there’s a captcha (unlike most Lemmy/PieFed servers; but I use LibreWolf). Idk if there’d be an anti-Canada sentiment among US users for .ca

.Zip’s Newcomers page primarily points to a resource developed by the .ca admin. Their Announcements and Home pages feature what looks like AI slop images.

I think .ca is well-admined. I’ve been a pretty heavy user for 3 years and am now a proud donator :D.

I’ve voted for PieFed.ca

Sorry, I’m out of the loop, what’s the motivation to change instance?

What outcome are you looking at? Length of second stage labour? I haven’t seen a study that shows that. And if there is, the effect size won’t be huge.

The plain language summary is that exercise and fitness (be sure to check with your healthcare provider before making significant changes in exercise while pregnant) increase the likelihood of healthy pregnancies and babies for all pregnant people. That said, the vast majority ‘out of shape’ (ie, sedentary, low lean muscle mass, low V02 max?) pregnant people in Canada have healthy pregnancies and babies. I’d rather Mum be out of shape than have poorly controlled diabetes or high blood pressure, lack access to prenatal care, miss prenatal vitamins, etc. It’s not that high on the list to be honest and let’s not shame
