Advertisers believe they are doing you a favour by using personal information to serve "better" ads that would be more "interesting" to you.

I thought all this sovcit stuff was based on some conspiracy of the US government creating secret accounts and ownership of citizens at birth. If this person has a green card then they weren't born in the US, and none of that would apply to them?

I know this is probably too much logic for them to comprehend though. It does tickle me a little that sovcits would be cool with foreigners coming to their country and just declaring themselves ~~citizens~~ state nationals without any due process. How progressive!

Or this is an analytics database where these are well-defined dimensions added for segmentation logic. 🤷

This is the weirdest paid product placement I've ever seen. We really need to get money out of politics... /s

I was one of those strategic voters and I was promised by the Liberals that they were going to have the "last election under first past the post". That didn't happen so I decided I am done being dragged into supporting a party that constantly fails to deliver the things I believe in. What I don't understand is seeing how the Liberals are getting demolished at the polls, why isn't the new strategic vote to go NDP to stop the Conservatives? They aren't that far behind the Liberals. 🤷

To make it the same as Pascal's Wager. Many religions have a "reward" in the afterlife that strictly includes believing in the deity. It doesn't matter if you follow every other rule and are an amazingly good person, sorry, but if you were an atheist or believed in another deity then you will be punished eternally just because of that. I guess all-powerful, all-knowing beings have incredibly fragile egos and AI wouldn't be different. 🤷

There are still a lot of workers needed in agriculture, but increasingly they are either undocumented migrants or on restrictive visas (like temporary foreign workers in Canada) that limit their bargaining power and let their employers exploit them with poor working conditions and rock bottom wages. This means that these workers often don't have the means or income to participate much in the local economy beyond the bare essentials. This is actually a case of "trickle down economics" where paying workers fair, living wages would lead to healthier local economies where these workers could spend those wages and support having or starting a family.

Unfortunately advertising doesn't work on the majority of their users who are bots. 🤷

I'm so glad the blue check marks are working as intended to combat bots and boost real voices. /s

Republicans: Keep political statements out of my sports/TV/video games/etc!

Also Republicans: You can now make drinking water a political statement!

Could have kept the empty/occupied sign with a subtle indicator for staff that comes on after an unusually long time. Same functionality without showing everyone the time down to the second.

If Texas left the US, wouldn't that be a massive blow to the federal Republican party losing all those electoral college votes and seats in the legislature?
