World News@lemmy.world•TikTok users in the US can’t write ‘Epstein’ or see anti-Trump videosEnglish
78·8 months agoWorth noting is that among the investors loyal to Trump is Larry Ellison, renowned massive turd of a human being. Just totally coincidentally, his festering dingleberry of a son David Ellison is the person that installed the pro-genocide propagandist Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief at CBS.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada has no intent of pursuing free trade deal with China, says PM after Trump threat
161·8 months agoCanadians should not want free trade with China. It’s reasonable to protect domestic industries. China has massively invested in their productive capacity; free trade would destroy any domestic Canadian businesses that compete with their Chinese counterparts. Canada should be purchasing cheap factory equipment from China and reshoring lost industries via heavy investment or creating state-owned businesses. But, Canada should also stop cutting funding for its public health system, enact laws to prevent capital flight, and tax big businesses and the ultra-wealthy heavily, and we know that a fucking banker would never do that.
This is an ongoing operation by the CIA to Balkanize Canada. Canadians need to wake the fuck up.

World News@lemmy.world•Trump to Macron: Join 'Board of Peace' or Face 200% Tariffs on French Wine and ChampagneEnglish
11·9 months agoThis article is poorly written and the terms are confusing, so just to clarify:
- There are TWO “Boards of Peace” floating around in the headlines.
- They were both created by point 9 in the “Gaza peace plan”.
- By “Gaza Board of Peace”, the article actually means the BoP’s Gaza Executive Board. This seems to be what Trump is trying to extort Macron into joining.
- The 60 nations, $1 billion permanent seat cost BoP is the top-level BoP that the Gaza Executive Board is under.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: A real American Civil war will NOT be like Battlefield or COD.
90·9 months agoIf you’re really gung-ho about it, go and ask a Veteran of Iraq or Afghanistan about it and see what they think. If anyone will know about it they will.
My uncle that served in Iraq still wakes up screaming in the night. He’s a shell of the man he used to be. Another vet my age I knew was absolutely erratic after serving. He couldn’t hold a job and ended up homeless and assaulted someone for their spot under a bridge.
My whole family bears the scars of the PTSD from what my grandfather saw from WWII. He also woke up screaming for years afterward.

Canada@lemmy.ca•'I lost my appetite': Cheeseburger served with waiver at Toronto restaurant
11·3 years agoTo be clear, please continue to enjoy your food the way you want it. Just know what the words that exit your mouth mean. Life shouldn’t be safe, and many of life’s greatest pleasures are not safe.
Is it a Canadian beef problem? Nah, it’s just a problem with the definition of “safe food”. If the food is not cooked to 165F, then any bacteria, fungi, and parasites that are present could still be alive. There are no guarantees that the beef didn’t have tapeworms, and since ground beef is usually from multiple cuts, there’s a larger chance that a tapeworm has been ground up and spread throughout. It’s a tiny chance, but it’s still a chance. Steaks are less of a risk, because it’s a single cut, and the chef can visually inspect it.
The waiver is stupid, but it has less to do with capitalism and more to do with the legal system. People sue for anything and everything, and I don’t blame companies for trying to defend themselves from that. They asked the dude to sign a waiver, because they’re afraid he doesn’t understand the risks and might sue if he gets sick.
Funny thing is: in this case the guy didn’t understand the risks. He thought they were saying their beef is sketchy. What they were really saying is: all ground beef not cooked to 165F could be sketchy. I think he’s dumb, because he doesn’t know that a medium cooked burger involves risk but has been requesting it everywhere he goes. If he had known what a medium burger is, he would’ve just said “yeah yeah yeah”, signed, and ate the burger like an adult.
I’m not you pal, buddy. (but we might be friends now)

18·3 years agoNah, the disgusting part is the consequences of factory farming and humanity’s domination of the planet and desire for meat.
Well-done burgers are the band-aid for the deeper problems.

Canada@lemmy.ca•'I lost my appetite': Cheeseburger served with waiver at Toronto restaurant
63·3 years agoDude is incredibly stupid, because he’s been ordering under-cooked burgers without any conception of what he’s requesting for “Bob”-know-how-long.
He might like medium-cooked burgers, but he has no idea what that even means. The food at the hotel isn’t less-safe than other places. They just didn’t assume he read the fine-print at the bottom of the menu and were the first to inform him that it’s not safe.
Yeah, they delivered the waiver at the wrong time, but dude should’ve already known what he was ordering wasn’t safe. I order over-easy, soft-boiled, and sometimes sunny-side-up eggs. I know the risks, and I accept them.
Unless you put an a ton of effort into it, ground beef is only safe well-done. To get safe under-cooked ground beef, you need to discuss your intentions with your butcher and grind the beef yourself. Even with grinding a single, quality cut of beef, you’re still gambling.
Also, fuck you, I’m not your friend guy, here’s a rocket ship ().():::::::::::::::::D~~~~~~~

worldnews@lemmy.world•‘We are damned fools’: scientist who sounded climate alarm in 80s warns of worse to come
1·3 years agoThe “personal responsibility” re: climate change bullshit is toxic and plays straight into the capitalist narrative.
I totally agree, but people also need to be careful when they’re trying to place blame in general. My main question is: how could it have possibly been any different? Anger and blame are pointless and unhelpful. Unless it’s like the oil company situation where they knew and then actively deceived. Those fuckers should be beaten to death in front of their families (this is totally a joke, of course, or is it? idk).
Much of this comes down to human nature and one thing leading to the next like dominoes. The US is setup as a representative democracy & humans can’t see beyond the tip of their noses -> people vote for today and ignore the future -> politicians don’t risk their jobs over something their voters don’t care about -> climate change kills a shitload of people, eliminates snowmelt, and scorches bread baskets -> mass migrations, war, famine, chaos. The most important questions is: what will we do with today to shape the future?



Pretty sure this is a slop image of a real tower. The photos in the article don’t have the absurdly large ratchet strap.
