@doctormo@floss.social @stuartb@social.teamb.space @SeanPLynch@mastodon.social @nogodsnomasters@kolektiva.social Did you know that the USA allows forced, unpaid labour for prisoners, and that for profit prisons make money selling prison labour like to-order slavery? I didn't know for a long time.

@AlexSanterne@fediscience.org @adritheonly@mastodon.social @rahmstorf@fediscience.org I think they meant that Earth will become uninhabitable, like Mars is.

@Taweret@timeloop.cafe I apologize for being that guy, but to be more specific with the doozers, because I love this part: they build for the sheer love of building. Moki once convinced everyone to stop eating doozer sticks, and the doozers were devastated that they ran out of room to build. They are craftspersons, delighted to see others get use out of what they make. In return, the Fraggles freely provide the radishes the doozers use as raw material. Despite cultural differences regarding singing and dancing, the two communities live harmoniously, and I think that dovetails nicely with everything else you said. 😁

@vnikolov@ieji.de @bhasic@mastodon.social @wjmaggos@liberal.city @benroyce@mastodon.social @kaspi@rollenspiel.social No, I would not still agree, because the two ideas are very different. Wanting worker's rights and a social safety net comes from a very different place than white supremacy. If we're being silly, we can say anything. "RePLAcE 'nAZi' wiTH 'bRUNeTTe,' DO You stIlL AGReE?!1" This is a logical fallacy known as "false equivalence," aka comparing apples to oranges. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_equivalence

@Cassandra@ottawa.place Way less now that I know I'm diabetic. If excess glucose in the blood isn't getting processed with insulin, it needs to be scrubbed out by the urinary system. Cutting back on sugars and carbohydrates, especially at dinner, makes for fewer trips overnight.

@Euan@speedlines.stctp.zone Ebirah, Horror Of The Deep! Giant lobster guy, not unlike the monster from Teenagers From Outer Space, except exponentially better looking.

@mbr@metalhead.club 20 years ago I would have said Metallica with zero hesitation, but recently, the band I was most excited to see a new album from was Castle Rat. I have similar feelings about Gnome and Burning Witches. Don't know about flat out favourites, though.

@SnyperWolf@kind.social @mbr@metalhead.club This is the way. The person asking the question probably just wants to chat, or tell you their favourite. Whether it's a band, movie, or anything else, I like to say "Well, off the top of my head, one that I really like right now is..." and that's enough to keep the conversation moving.

@wjmaggos@liberal.city @benroyce@mastodon.social @kaspi@rollenspiel.social "Exile," also known as banning, if we aren't appealing to melodrama, is a time tested and perfectly acceptable response to a violation of terms of service in an online space. If I don't like what someone is saying in my house, I have every right to tell them to get out. They can keep expressing themselves somewhere else. Same with being "exiled" from an online space. There's loads of instances that champion free speech absolutism, and plenty that favour different levels of moderation. Join whichever one you want, and manage your expectations accordingly. It really is that simple.

@rhtunstall@zeroes.ca I have similar feelings across the river in Delta. I voted strategically this time, next time I go back to voting my conscience. Electoral reform or bust!

@Lunalucardrose20@corteximplant.com It's also the theme song for Beyond Re-Animator! And was one of the first fan made furry oc music videos on the internet! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S08ydoG5AAM

@alltherum@freeradical.zone @buckfiftyseven@mastodon.social Sorry, are you asking me about the bear thing? If so, yes, I've read the reasons, and I agree, women are right to choose the bear over a random man, that's my point. Hanging up on "not all men," even though it's technically true that not all men are more dangerous than bears, only distracts from the problem that way too many men are dangerous to women, even beyond what a bear would do. Same with AIs, they can have legitimate uses, but those uses aren't what critics are objecting to, so it's beside the point. Sorry if I wasn't too clear on that.

@Lana@beige.party I was worried I'd look bourgeoise if Chalupa was a knockoff brand I'd never heard of, it's all good. 😅

@Lana@beige.party Not particularly spicy crew represent!

@Tim_Eagon@dice.camp Well done to Paizo, that sounds like a fair resolution to me. It's nice to see such a class act in any industry.

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt Boo, get off the stage! (translation: I love it! 🤣 )

The place I used to buy my coffee syrups closed down ages ago, and today I found an alternative based in Kelowna, who not only sell the syrups, but make them as well! https://simpsmb.com/pages/about-us #Canada #Coffee #BC #BuyCanadian #ElbowsUp

@ninlyricbot@mastodon.social Shove it, Trent!

@buckfiftyseven@mastodon.social @alltherum@freeradical.zone You should let it go to save yourself the strain of dodging the point so much. So long!

I stopped taking my venlafaxine for two days because I didn't want to go out in the heat to get my prescription. DON'T DO THAT. I feel slightly better now that I've gotten my prescription and had some food, but I still feel incredibly light headed, and like I'm on the verge of dreaming / hallucinating. 😵‍💫 This is like, the opposite of the time I had too many edibles. I can't wait for the drugs to _start_ working.

@archer_v2@mastodon.social The music video isn't at all subtle, but pretty killer nonetheless: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QpxA_ZxGX_M

@fsinn@mas.to @dyckron@cosocial.ca I want to believe the IFLA story, and The Globe And Mail has a huge right wing bias. Note how they give PP the final full length quote. But Carney has backpedalled on other stuff, and he wants to look like the guy who gets projects completed, so I wouldn't put it past him to shortchange us and focus on opening day. But then, Trump beating his chest as he accepts a worse deal for him is 100% on brand, too. 😵‍💫

@AtheistRevolution@mas.to This is completely inappropriate!!! It should be posted during Easter, not July. 😉

@buckfiftyseven@mastodon.social @alltherum@freeradical.zone Okay, but I've never seen anyone say "I hate AI for no reason," and I've yet to see a benefit that offsets the massive financial, ecological, and social costs of data centers, and the use of AI for tasks to which it isn't suited. I see a lot of hate for cars and drivers too, and I usually agree with it. But I never see anyone saying "let's do away with ambulances and fire trucks," and I think it's because most people would take it as a given that those are worth keeping. But if I had to list ambulances, firetrucks, cement mixers, and every other exception whenever I complained about cars, I'd run out of characters, so the complaint gets shortened to just "cars." Likewise, "I hate AI" is the truncated version, rather than "I hate the type of AI that is built on stolen work, has received billions of dollars from multiple governments, requires unreasonable amounts of water and energy, reduces educational and creative outcomes, saves no work, because the code it produces has to be corr

@alltherum@freeradical.zone @buckfiftyseven@mastodon.social Right? Like, if we're lining up attitudes for comparison, I think "not all AIs" and "not all men" is a better match than "shun harmful tech" and "shun life saving tech." Yes, there are valid uses for AI, in much the same way that many men are safer than bears. But what's the point in getting hung up on that, other than derailing the conversation about a problem?

@maddy@thegayagenda.fans ALSO!!! Your library might be enrolled with Kanopy, allowing you to stream movies and TV shows for free with your library card.

@lowqualityfacts@mstdn.social This is a lie spread by flatulent pianists, a result of piano benches being uncushioned. The cushioning of piano benches was outlawed by the UN in response to flatulent pianists blaming the benches. This is why the UN has been working tirelessy to have all trumpets replaced with bagpipes, a move opposed by the UK government, due to the recognition of bagpipes as weapons of war. The reneging of this law would allow Count Binface to become Prime Minister, which would in turn lead to the voluntary reannexation of the western Unites States, causing a war between the new United States, and the old United States, who would obviously react to defection under Binface by electing Vermin Supreme as president. The world would become embroiled in a hot war fought with atomic rubber chickens, and only cockroaches would survive, which is why cockroaches from the future traveled back in time to give pianists persistent flatulence. You must withdraw this lie, or the time travelling cockroaches will win!

I don't know how Les Claypool feels, but I'm glad Metallica didn't hire him. Not because it would have been bad, but because Primus and Metallica both existing is a "Holy shit, two cakes!" thing. Anyways, this video is only a few hours old, and pure Primus in the best ways possible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE2oERgJkXg #Primus #PrimusSucks #Metal

@SonsOfLibertyOfficial@mastodon.social 176 million voters have already proved they are dumb as fuck. Fingers crossed for November, I sincerely hope Americans can pull it together, but my expectations are managed as fuck.

@jaynitx@mastox.eu As much as I despise Musk, using disarmed ICBMs to launch satellites isn't the worst, and Musk wasn't the only one doing it. That's how the MOST satellite, a Canadian project, and one of the first satellites to find an exoplanet, was launched. I saw Dr Jaymie Matthews speak a few times at V-Con, he used to joke that he'd gotten rid of more weapons of mass destruction than George W Bush ever had (which was a relevant joke in the early aughts). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOST_(spacecraft)

@sundogplanets@mastodon.social I think I know ecxactly how you feel. We were told that humanity would reach the stars, and we thought that meant everyone. But it's been made exclusive by the same people who want to cut funding for the programs that brought us here.

@lowqualityfacts@mstdn.social Something something Caledfwlch something something St Patrick. Of course Camelot was real, Geoffrey of Monmouth read about it in a Saxon journal, which had been copied off of a pillar in Egypt.

@LALegault@newsie.social @aclu@twitter.oksocial.net I had to look up where Altamonte Springs is. I should have just guessed. I can't believe the far right is as popular as it is in Canada, when we're seeing new examples of where it leads every day.

@dkiesow@social.kiesow.net @nicmagnier@idlethumbs.social I love that the only sensible driver shown was driving the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile.
