Ehhh, I’m mixed with feelings on this. I’ve seen crazy stats about the usage of drugs like Ozempic, and don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to be out here judging people for choosing how they want to lose weight, but I really worry how much this will be used by people to replace lifestyle changes, rather than being used in conjunction with them.

“We have a cost of living crisis… because you’re not paying nearly enough”

“haha, I said orange man bad”

Literally the peak of comedy, not done to death at all after ten years.

I’m Canadian.

It’s been over ten years of Trump talk and people still can’t take things seriously.

“Yeah the man is disrupting global order and taking the rights of fellow Americans away, but at least I showcased my dissatisfaction by showing him as a toilet brush! Hilarious!”

Maybe the rest of the world is frustrated that things don’t seem to be taken seriously? Or that even when they try tuning out this stuff with tools like filters they still see this nonsense?

B-but, don’t you know that the Democrats deserve your vote just by virtue of them not being Republicans??? It was super nae nae litty fam fam when Harris had mad aura with Liz Cheney, right???

Who cares that they’d bomb Muslim babies, doesn’t it matter to you that they’d only do it half as often???

Lemmy users try not to post American politics challenge, Level 3000 IMPOSSIBLE!!!

You put up multiple filters and yet still people come out with content that bypasses that.

Can’t wait until this ends up like Reddit where people will post millions of videos of Trump in a cringe community because people can’t seem to stop “spreading awareness” by being nothing short of insufferable.

Honestly if he repairs it, he’d get credit for that in my book as small as it is in the grand scheme of things

I have to catch myself to not say “Dragon Ball Zed”.

Who does that economist serve? The working class, or wealthy CEOs, investors, and company shareholders?

The high speed rail project he’s putting in place is, as always, going to be a public-private partnership rather than a public crown corporation like Via Rail is. His affordable housing strategy has simply been “build more homes” and poking for the private sector to do the right thing when they’re the ones price gouging us to begin with by treating a home as an investment rather than a human right.

He still hasn’t said anything about the efforts of Ford and Smith to further privatise the healthcare industry and how he’d protect public health with the Canada Health Act. His government forced arbitration on airline attendants striking against Air Canada over unpaid work. He’s laying the groundwork for a new pipeline when the oil & gas industry has abandoned workers through automation leaving them nowhere else to go, and he’s unwilling to ban surveillance pricing when we’re in a cost of living crisis.

“Whataboutism” is conflating foreign policy with foreign policy, and expecting consistency with it in our dealings with the same country in question. Alright.

As opposed to Avi Lewis for one.

As much as I want to give credit where it’s due, I feel this is less because of the UCP wanting to do the “right” thing (better than time switches, but not as good as permanent standard), I feel this was only done because of the changes made in B.C. and Saskatchewan, and the new “time warp” phenomenon happening for people on trucking routes and the Trans Canada

Cool, now that you have that money back, is that money going to go to, idk, nurses? Teachers? ODSP recipients struggling to get by?

Or is it just going to continue getting shunted into the pockets of your corporate buddies and American advertisers like was the case before?

I swear this was covered years ago in a CBC Marketplace segment or such.

The man has already moved the goalposts time and time over, why should we continue to capitulate to him?

Carney hasn’t proved to me that he’s the man to meet the moment whatsoever. You tell me that the man who stood by and asked “both sides” to respect international law in both Iran and Venezuela rather than call out the U.S. for the initial violation of international law is the guy to stand up to the U.S.? That the man who gave up the digital services tax the last time around is the person to stand tall and not capitulate?

The man has been talking about the possibility of not renewing CUSMA for ages now, why not take that as a sign to not engage?

If the Liberals don’t ban prediction markets, then that should be the ultimate signal that they have no issue with money in politics and the rich pulling the strings of their administration.

But hey, let’s just keep excusing the actions of Carney and the Liberals by saying that “things are complicated” a full year later and talk about how much of a 5D chess move this is

I’m so proud of the Carney government for doing this. Why should I care about greenhouse gas emissions and reversing our progress on them when I now have limitless power at my fingertips in generating images of anybody I dislike getting run over by the Hummer Guy from Family Guy.

NK News reports on North Korea, they’re not owned by or operate in support of the North Korean government.

I implore you to go outside. I don’t know what you’re even talking about unless there’s content from lemmy.world or .ml in this community that’s getting blocked by my instance blocks, but even with that in mind, you’re not a warrior for posting this stuff to “combat” that. You’re sowing one-sided narratives just as much as they are, and that annoys the hell out of me as someone who wants to look at what’s new without obvious narratives getting pushed by community members

“We have already seen propaganda outlets from… North Korea”

First, I’d like a source, second, it’s so rich that you call others propagandists when well over 90% of your activity here is anti-China.

I don’t care if people have a good or bad opinion of China, that’s for them to form their opinion on, but when just about everything you do has to do with anti-China sentiments, it’s clear you’re pushing a certain agenda and are only around to push a certain agenda. You can’t claim that of others when you engage in the same behaviour you claim to be against.
