  • US soldier allegedly bet on Maduro operation using intel

    Jump

  • That prediction markets even exist blows my mind. Every bet has to have a counterparty. What counterparty wants to go up against the asymmetry of insider information? It's insane.

    A fool to gamble everything

  • Amnesty International concerned Canada is 'rolling back' support for Indigenous rights

  • Please, no, you misunderstand. We roll back rights for everyone! You see? Yes you see.

  • "internal paranoia about surveillance"

    IIRC paranoia is the irrational belief that everything revolves around the individual experiencing it. They were being surveiled by covert government forces. That makes it rational and a completely correct assessment.

    Not paranoia.

  • Peter Thiel is building a parallel justice system — Powered by AI

    Jump

  • It's a system. Not of Justice, but of oppression and extortion and naked power.

  • Why is the US so into Israel?

    Jump

  • A wealthy elite from Wall Street to Hollywood with lots in between has a large and powerful contingent that is also Jewish American. On the whole, it is a large attractor to support for Israel. Every political campaign has to court the jewish vote regardless of stance to stay competitive in votes and campaign finance.

  • You are you! You can and must judge. For yourself, naturally.

  • Online dating without the apps?

  • Choices abound. Make one, move, stretch your legs a bit?

  • Don't blink

    Jump

  • Very good. One small detail, the spiders are behind the eyes. Look at the original comic and imagine they aren't eyelashes, but spider legs from a colony of harvestmen all tightly packed together.

  • Online dating without the apps?

    Jump

  • Online dating is a bit of a misnomer. It's not dating. It allows people to optimize selection based on superficiality, and stops anyone from from getting to know anyone. It's also high stakes because arranged meets with matches are purpose driven.

    Put it down. Turn it off. Go do something you love and meet people. All sorts of people. Have fun, casually. Somewhere in there, you'll find someone special.

    (Not directed to you OP, just online daters in general)

  • Yah, you're not walking away from that so casually. Gimme the story in 300 words or less. ;)

    Edit. Never mind. I saw the post right after. Thanks for sharing.

  • Poilievre says PM Carney 'squandered Canada's leverage' with U.S. in response video

    Jump

  • It's almost tempting to engage in discussion, but you wear your flag so prominently, and engage is similar hollow partisan rhetoric, that I can see the warning signs. Like the white stripe of a skunk, it's a warning to stay away because a putrid smell awaits. I guess I should thank you for the honesty, even if incidental.

    Too bad. It would be nice to speak to a conservative about policy for policy's sake, and not just engage in team boosterism and witless rhetoric. My only team is Canada, and even that is only in the service of the planet and all life on it. Political parties are just a neccessary (evil) means to get there. Seems I'm a bit of a rarity.

  • [Opinion] China-Canada food safety pact could be a killer of a deal

    Jump

  • You're not wrong. You're just mischaracterizing the relative severities to suit your personal narrative. Downvote for bad faith mischaracterization. Don't be butthurt because people don't love glorious China more than they deserve.

  • [Opinion] China-Canada food safety pact could be a killer of a deal

    Jump

  • Yes and no. Canada can't and shouldn't even try to lift China up. We should gate access to what can reasonably meet our already high standards.

    The deal, including working groups is what China needs to leverage to lift itself up as a condition of accessing markets.

    We also have to contend with not repeating the same mistake with China as we did with the US. A tightly integrated supply chain is in no ones best interest when institutions and culture diverge so clearly.

    As for paternalism, if they learn to stop putting melamine, heavy metals and gutter oil in their supply chains, they won't risk being talked down to.

    Edit: Their baby food solution was to buy a Kingston Ontario dairy supplier, not fix their own shit.

  • As much as I hate the Financial Post as an American Owned, Canadian Conservative 51st state sellout voice of treason, this is a legit concern.

    We absolutely have to improve trade and relations with China. We absolutely have to reduce our dependence on America. Carney is right across the board.

    The agreements have to be structured to lift China's food supply chain capabilities, not allow Canada's high quality supply chain lower to their standards or meet in the middle with Chinas.

    The problem is more than regulatory, or enforcement. Its institutional and cultural within China. Melamine in baby food is unthinkable in Canada. Our gaffs tend to revolve around human error in cleaning proceedures with the odd listeria outbreak. China has a long way to go, and lacks the institutional and cultural capacity to operate at this level. Lifting China won't be fast or easy, which is a shame because right now speed matters.

    Still, fuck the fascist post and their treasonous hearts.

  • Think I can rub this one out

  • You can always rub one out. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) P.S. Should fix your door.

  • Is now a bad time to make a big financial move in the US?

    Jump

  • No one can time the market. The answer depends on your risk tolerance and security buffers. It is schrodinger's market. It is always the best and worst time to hypothetically jump in or out of markets. It's only after you do that the probability wave form collapses and becomes one or the other.

    Predictions depend on a stable system. No where is stable so don't bother.
