People in this comment section being shining examples of why some fat people would feel uncomfortable at the beach.

When was conservatism not ignorant? Certainly not in my lifetime. It's been an ideology of anti-intellectualism for at least three decades now.

I wonder how anyone in their right mind would propose the defense "we can't be held liable for what the chatbot we purposefully put on our website said". Did Air Canada's lawyers truly think this would fly?

If you don't want to be held to AI hallucinations, don't put an AI chatbot on your website, seems easy enough.

Presenting the pricing as if it represents a bulk discount when it doesn't.

The only reason to do this is to trick people who can't do multiplication into buying more.

I think their comment is more a critique of wage labour than a misunderstanding of it.

These folks are threatening schools with bombs, yet somehow it's the drag queens reading age-appropriate books that are a menace to the children 🙄

There's zspotify which is the only one I know of, but on the rare occasion I want to download an album I just use doubledouble.top

They even have Ted Cruz in it (as himself).

This nightmare world we live in would be hilarious if we didn't have to, you know, live in it.

I've (thankfully) never encountered a reference to helicopter genders IRL, however I can't seem to escape the fucking "they're putting litter boxes in classrooms!!" myth. It's such an utterly absurd, inane, asinine idea yet I've seen real people, who are seemingly functional adults, actually believe this.

Even if you buy into the conspiracy theories and think that the education system is some globalist socialist catgirl plot, do you think teenagers equipped with cell phones and social media wouldn't meme the shit out of the classroom litterbox? And yet, we still haven't seen a single picture proving this has ever happened anywhere. That doesn't stop people from believing it though, and somehow using it as an excuse to delegitimize and attack trans people.

Piracy is data preservation after all. How many books, series, TV shows, and video games would be inaccessible if not for pirated copies?

My mom's phone is full of videos of her saying "oh shit" because she meant to take a photo. I really need to make a backup of those for when she's gone.

Une des choses que j'adore du français, c'est d'entendre l'immense diversité dans la façon dont nous parlons. Quel accent vous a le plus marqué? Perso, j'avais un prof du Cameroun à l'université et je n'ai jamais écouté autant attentivement dans un cours, son accent était similaire à celui dans ce vidéo.

Un autre préféré c'est l'accent cajun de la Louisiane, en voici un exemple qui parle aussi de la culture de la francophonie en Louisiane. Je suis francophone de l'Acadie (Nouveau-Brunswick) et c'est intéressant de voir les similarités entre nos accents malgré l'influence intense de l'anglais en Louisiane.

A new method for counting homeless people is offering a clearer look at the magnitude of the social issue, with preliminary results indicating the country's homeless population could be three times higher than current estimates.

Bike on a beer can on a bike.

Fun fact: Radler is the Bavarian dialect word for Radfahrer (“cyclist”)

Les groupes de logement des Maritimes demandent un projet de logement public d'un milliard de dollars et une stratégie nationale pour aider les personnes vivant dans la rue.

Cheryl Forchuck, chercheuse au Homeless Hub, a voyagé dans chaque province et territoire du Canada pour tenter de trouver des solutions à l'itinérance et a partagé ce qu'elle a appris lors d'un forum organisé jeudi au Cap-Breton.

"Le Canada est le seul pays industrialisé au monde qui n'a pas de responsabilité en matière de logement et d'itinérance au niveau national", a déclaré Mme Forchuk.

Selon elle, le nombre de sans-abri a augmenté dans tout le pays.

"Nous assistons à la prolifération des campements, des personnes vivant à l'extérieur parce que le système n'a pas la capacité nécessaire.

Bien que le problème des sans-abri soit généralement traité au niveau local, M. Forchuk estime qu'il s'agit d'une crise nationale et qu'elle doit être abordée en tant que telle.

"J'aimerais qu'une stratégie nationale sur le sans-abrisme soit pleinement mise en œuvre", a déclaré M. Forchuk.

Jeudi également, le Carrefour du logement du Nouveau-Brunswick a demandé à la province de financer la construction de 10 000 nouveaux logements sociaux.

"Au Nouveau-Brunswick, nous demandons au gouvernement provincial d'aider à soutenir le secteur du logement communautaire en investissant 1 milliard de dollars au cours des cinq prochaines années", a déclaré Mylene Vincent, de Housing Hub of New Brunswick.

Selon Mme Vincent, le marché locatif de la province a perdu environ 9 000 logements dont les loyers sont inférieurs à 750 $ depuis 2016

"Nous ne trouverons pas de solutions tant que nous ne considérerons pas nos populations sans-abri comme faisant partie de notre communauté, comme nos voisins, comme des personnes."
