Friends are just the family you assimilate
I love this line, I'm assimilating that into my vocabulary.
Paints the Borg in a much friendlier light too!
I'm in agreement with you that I don't want the government to be fiddling with the pipes of the internet like that.
They could restrict Canadian ad buying, merchandise purchases via credit card, and restrict app store use, and that would do something.
I just feel like this gesture is symbolic at best. We haven't done anything about the security concerns.
We should be building a domestic tech industry so we don't see all the value extracted elsewhere.
I'm not sure how closing their domestic office while not banning or ordering significant changes accomplishes anything.
It really just hurts Canadian tech workers who will take contractor roles with the TikTok US office. I've met a few TikTok employees and they're actually very high caliber workers, so it would be a shame to lose them (though I disagree with the ownership of TikTok and refuse to use it).
If anything we should take a page out of China's book and require an office where we hold the leadership directly accountable for those security concerns, which frankly 99% of people don't understand or care about.
The outcome is not good for Canada and is deeply bad for several issues I care deeply about.
I do hope this drives introspection here about how our working class feels and has been struggling, and that it drives political change before we see a sweeping conservative majority in the next election.
I know this is late ABS I hope you’re feeling better
Adding soya sauce to soup can easily add a salty umami flavour and enhance your soup.
I like to add it to my mushrooms and cook them separately then add them to the soup to get a more deep flavour, but you can heat mix it into your bowl as you’re eating too.
Simple, cheap, easy and adds flavour.
Sure, Hitler passed some of the first anti-smoking laws.
That doesn’t excuse all the other awful awful things he did.
Also his anti smoking laws failed as the war went on longer and longer.
It’s hard to say what will happen, but I think the Trump presidency will push some away from Polievre. I don’t think it will make a difference unless the NDP and Liberals change their leadership though.
This might be good for Ontarians, as we are looking at an election soon.
I love this community, it’s my favourite place on the internet by far
I know I can’t really do much to help people, but I’m here for you. If you need to chat or vent you can send me a DM.
I’m not anyone special, but I can be a set of ears to listen. You’re not alone.
The lemmy community has been helpful to me when I’ve needed it, if I can return the favour I will.
I know it’s nothing useful for concrete or really all that helpful, but I support you and you’re in my thoughts. I hope things get better for you and all the people who have a tough time ahead.
💚
I know this thread is about a serious topic
On a lighter note, this is peak “smell the fart” acting
Which of the Pickwick triplets did it?
Who of the crew would commit this crime?
Might a little brat make a mommy go splat?
It's a story pretty gory for a nursery rhyme!
OC - screen caps from Sub Rosa mixed with the old Reefer Madness poster.
I had fun with this one, the halftone effect gave me a lot of trouble.
This post inspired me to try and create a Reefer Madness post. Title based on this trailer.
TNG S5E6 The Game
I had fun with this one, it’s a bit messy though
In my head there was a heavenly light pouring out from the grocery store.
I’ve never used my marker pen before so decided to try it out, I like the feel of it
I don’t often shade with brush pens, and I’m rusty on my lining, but I had fun
S5 E3 Ensign Ro
Mot talking over Picard feels like a latinum mine for memes.
TNG S4E16 Galaxy's Child
This episode has so much cringe in it.
Geordie setting up a meeting and trying to make it into a date is a lot. Plus omitting that he had the computer summarize her files to resolve a critical crisis, while using the information he got from her file in discussing with her is not good.
Brahms does an excellent job letting him down and putting up firm boundaries.
But oh god, when she discovers the holodeck program, and then Geordie rant!
It's tough to watch in a totally different way than the Quark Gender swap episode.
