How fucking naive. You think the evangelical church gives a single fuck about taxpayers? How about they, as an organization, pay taxes first? That would help relieve some of the tax burden placed on literally everyone else to cover the services that they use.
This is 100% related to puritanical social conservative bullshit and has nothing to do with taxes. At all.
It's really not. They do not give a shit about what it looks like. All they care about is clicks for ad revenue. They waited from 2017 to 2022 to re-do place, then they do it again a year later, directly after introducing a ton of unpopular changes?
Naw fam, this is 100% them generating traffic and anyone that keeps going to place is falling right into their hands, regardless of what message they think they're sending.
Canada has been left out of a recent expansion of Google’s artificial intelligence-powered chatbot known as Bard as the big tech giant continues its fight with the federal government over the Online News Act.
Why would anyone give a shit whether Canada gets included in Google’s ai? They just foist this new shit that is effectively useless to the average person other than making shitty “art” and cheating on essay writing. They use it however they want while skirting copyright laws and trawling any data they can get their hands on.
Does anybody really think that ai under google is doing anything other than data-mining to sell advertising? Ai in it’s current form isn’t helping anyone except corporations and the billionaire class and almost everyone would be better off without it.
Why was someone over 85 put on multiple committees? It’s not like she’s just now slowing down, she’s lost it completely already, this can’t be a surprise to anyone. The system is so fucked.
So long as Feinstein continues to choose to run, there is little that anyone can do. At least those constituents can see that the republican party is a non-starter as they actively make everything worse for everyone.
Afaik, there is not a single R that would pull a Manchin or Simena and vote against party lines (for more progress at least, many of them will vote against out of spite or to push to make things even worse).
It’s largely because the latest right-wing dogwhistle is anti-vaxx. Before Covid and the Trump presidency, most anti-vaxxers were left wing hippies living in communes and taking colloidal silver for cancer treatment or having their naturopath distill the vibrations in their body water to treat sickness.
I've been playing Zelda on Switch for a month now, and seeing that photo made me super nostalgic to go back to playing the deck. I much prefer the deck.
40 years ago today Terry Fox, a 21 year old Canadian who lost a leg to cancer, began an east to west cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. He ran the equivalent of a full marathon every day and made it to 145 days and 5,373km before he was forced to stop and he lost his battle with cancer.
A Calgary clinic informed its clients it would be introducing a “membership-based medical service,” running $4,800 a year for a two-parent family membership....
David Zaslav is head of Warner Bros. Discovery. He took over recently after the merger and proceeded to make a bunch of unpopular decisions regarding everything and made life worse for all employees and fans. He cancelled a million projects mid-stream including a fully finished batwoman movie to get a tax write off. He also gutted Discovery when he became CEO awhile back, taking it from education based to reality tv garbage because that makes more money apparently. He’s basically a real life Jack Donahue from 30 Rock.
It seems GQ wrote an article about how nobody in the industry likes him and then it got pulled.
I grew up with the Harry Potter series and loved it as a kid, but I can’t pretend it’s actually good writing. It’s full of all kinds of plot holes, the wizarding universe doesn’t make a lot of sense, there’s thinly veiled bigotry (particularly prominent in the naming of characters), and Rowling as a person is all sorts...
They literally said Roe vs Wade was settled law. They said it under oath. There is never “nothing there” when it comes to partisan hacks with no morals or respect for precedent.
The Roberts’ SCOTUS is a shitnami and we’re just flotsam riding the shit wave.
I was backpacking in Peru and Bolivia in 2002ish and it was common to see electric elements in the shower heads at hostels. Got a few shocks along the way there.
