Did they really break the law? I’m not a fan of Apple and their aggressive walled gardens and general hostility. But I feel like the tax optimization with Ireland is well known to …

I think big tech deserves anti trust regulation and action because it is good for a competitive market that actually puts customers first. They’re too big and powerful and abuse th…

Thanks for sharing. That’s a much longer list than I expected. It certainly looks like they have lots of manufacturing capabilities. I do wonder if they’re the right company for so…

Boeing still makes really good planes in general. The 737 Max is very popular still, with 300 orders even after the Alaska door incident. Sure the Airbus equivalent got twice the o…

It’s not unsafe for anyone to visit the US either. Unless you’re violating the law in some way, like presenting false documents or overstaying a visa - in which case there would be…

> What is happening now: people being critical of Trump are being rejected, legal visa holders are being detained because of the scale of the abuse. The agencies don’t reveal reaso…

Yes absolutely. It’s odd to see people here suggesting Mexico as an alternative based on safety of travelers. It’s a giveaway that they’re simply being opportunistic in attacking A…

Left on all sides is far left. It’s as left as their categorization goes. Unless you also agree that breitbart is not far right just because it is classified as right.

Or maybe these democracy index things are entirely arbitrary

Some quick math… Jet fuel is about 7 pounds a gallon. So we’re talking about something like 4000 gallons. A bus is something 40 feet by 10 feet by 10 feet, which is like 20000 gall…

> The US is clearly demonstrating it is an unreliable partner in defence. This feels like exaggeration to me. How is the US an ‘unreliable partner’? Has any country had parts for t…

> lawfully acquired guns are routinelly used in crimes. They are literally almost never used in crime. So “routinely” is false. In fact, I would guess that 99.9% of lawfully acquir…

> Culturally "left" wing and especially socially liberal policies are incredibly popular in Canada I can see that being true for certain policies and topics. But what about at a mo…

For me LLMs have basically removed any need to visit search engines. I was already not using Google due to how bad its interface had become, but I feel like LLMs at least are more …

> The US is the only country that has ever invaded us. Who is “us”? Surely we need to acknowledge that Europeans invaded Canada in the first place? The “us” that can make claims ab…

There are lots of Canadians who have felt under attack from within their own country. The ruling regimes of Canada have over time implemented certain policies and ideological value…
