You are correct about this, Im not disagreeing.

Im just saying it would be nice to have the choice between the traditional oath and a non-royal version for whatever personal reason. “I promise to be loyal, steadfast, and obey the laws of Canada” (etc). Seems like that wouldnt negate the technical role of the monarchy, I dont know.

Even acknowledging that he plays a legal role in how Canada operates (technically) its still ridiculous that anyone would have to do this, or get in trouble for refusing. An oath to obey the laws of a country, sure, but swearing loyalty to an unelected monarch seems like it should be optional at the least.

how would it lead to less good stuff?

Sorry, this isnt just about banning twitter because they dont like it. This happening because Twitter is boosting all manner of hate speech, misinformation, disgusting content and calling for violence against vulnerable people. Its an unmoderated far right propoganda hose. Free societies should ban nazi propaganda actually, we know what happens when you tolerate this stuff or brand it as “just another opinion.”

I wasnt suggesting “burying my head in the sand” or ignoring politics generally. I just half assedly read the article and thought it was more about a big corporation throttling the project, but I clearly missed the point entirely. Youre right.

Well when you get cars designed by people who think safety regulation can be ignored, this is what you get.

it sounds more like business people dicking each other over. why bring politics into it?

the superior cybertruck

you could argue theres already been incremental creep of accepting right wing ideas.

However looking at Trmps game plan and cabinet picks it doesnt look too incremental this time. It sounds like he wants to get right to the bulldozing and violence right out of the gate.

a lot of people were, but its hard to be heard over all the right wing messaging

wait, the article said it stopped working because “child damaged it” …what! How? And how crummily designed is this thing that a child could wreck it

This reminded me of a documentary i saw about crow intelligence years ago on this topic, its worth a watch:

very interesting… ( ffwd to 44:00 or so to see more on their grudges, as shown by the “mask experiment”.)

the first person who develops a browser that effectively filters out AI results is going to do very well

no?

Journalistic standards exist. But for those you need qualified human journalists to give a crap about that kind of thing.

yeah agreed on this point, I dont think most people do this (unless replaying for the nth time)
