Question of the day: As a Canadian, if you were granted free citizenship to the USA, would you take it?

@DarthhPotato Wow, you're triggered hard

Linus Tech Tips just dropped $5 million on a used Dassault Falcon 900B private jet like it’s Black Friday at Best Buy. Bro, you spent your entire “screwdriver tier list” budget on a flying Winnebago that used to belong to the UAE government and still has gold-plated sinks and ashtrays. Congrats, king, now when you flex your 4090s at 40,000 feet, you can wash your hands in melted Dubai oil money while the rest of your team flies Spirit Airlines with the emotional support of emotional damage. He’s out here calling it a “$0 plane” because they just did engine work. Yeah, Linus, and my 12-year-old Honda is a $0 car after I put new tires on it. That jet of yours still guzzles more fuel per hour than your warehouse burns through extension cords, and the annual upkeep is probably higher than most of your employees’ salaries combined.  Imagine being the guy who once cried over a bent pin in a CPU socket, now casually dropping more on a mid-90s jet than the GDP of several small countries. “It’s for work, guys!” Sure it is. Nothing says “efficient content creation” like turning a 30-year-old bird into an airborne gaming rig while your editors are still editing 4K on machines you underpaid them to assemble. Next video: “I Built a 5090 Gaming Setup in My Private Jet! and It Still Crashed Harder Than My Employee Morale.” lol Peak Canadian tech bro: complaining about the price of RAM one week, then buying a luxury yacht with wings the next. At least the gold sinks match your ego, right? both shiny, overpriced, and completely unnecessary. Safe flights, Linus. Try not to drop any more screws at altitude. The last thing we need is a 5-million-dollar paperweight falling out of the sky because you “tested” the cabin pressure with a bag of Cheetos.

@bobmarotte @Empty_America Ok Bob

@MathieuChiasson @Empty_America Congratulations, your parents must be so proud.

They have apparently invented a "bridge language" between English and the Romance languages, called Anglese. I don't know if it's actually mutually intelligible, we would need to test it with English speakers who know zero Romance, and vice versa. I can read it very easily but I have a certain amount of romance language vocabulary and can typically figure out written Spanish or Portuguese and sometimes French or Italian.

@notch You mad it's making sense

DLSS fundamentally makes no sense. Because the graphics card is too slow to run the game at reasonable speeds, you use THE SAME HARDWARE to run a neural network to generate frames in between the existing ones.

@Atima67486 Tellement de mots pour encore une fois ne pas etre capable de nommer le probleme, comme si c'est volontaire. (Ca l'est) Ca me rappelle les hockeyeurs nazis. Vous pouvez dire etre quebecoise mais la tout le monde sait que ce n'est pas le Quebec que vous defendez.

L’événement révoltant impliquant cette policière devrait nous pousser à une véritable réflexion de société. Nous ne pouvons plus nous contenter de simples réactions d’indignation. Il est temps d’aller plus loin. J’ai écouté certains commentaires à la radio, où des intervenants affirmaient que les propos tenus ne franchissaient pas la limite du criminel. De quelle limite parle-t-on exactement ? Faut-il attendre des menaces explicites pour agir ? Pourquoi faudrait-il qu’il exprime explicitement une intention criminelle, alors qu’il est capable de tenir des propos qui vont bien au-delà en jouant consciemment avec cette limite ? Insulter une femme, policière, en exercice de ses fonctions à répétition en la traitant de « pute », n’est-ce pas une violence ? Dire qu’elle pourrait être son esclave, n’est-ce pas une manière de revendiquer une appropriation de son corps et de sa personne ? Ces paroles traduisent une pensée profondément inquiétante, une banalisation de la déshumanisation et, en filigrane, une forme de violence sexuelle implicite. En tant que Québécoise, je tiens à exprimer mon attachement profond à la sécurité que nous avons la chance d’avoir ici. Et en tant que femme, cette sécurité m’est encore plus précieuse. Mais aujourd’hui, je ressens une inquiétude réelle. Je ne cherche pas à faire peur, mais je connais d'autres réalités : celles de sociétés où une femme ne peut pas marcher quelques mètres dans la rue sans être harcelée, suivie, voire touchée. Des sociétés où ces comportements finissent par devenir une norme tolérée. Nous ne pouvons pas laisser cette dérive s’installer ici. Le monde a changé, et nos lois doivent évoluer avec lui. Les réseaux sociaux amplifient la haine. Les discours se radicalisent. L’immigration, les tensions géopolitiques, et les manifestations répétées au cours des dernières années ont laissé place à des propos et comportements haineux exprimés sans conséquences. Tout cela mine la crédibilité des autorités, affaiblit leur légitimité et érode la confiance du public. Or, une fois cette autorité fragilisée, il devient extrêmement difficile de la rétablir. La haine, qu’elle soit exprimée directement ou derrière un écran, doit être sanctionnée. Les propos dégradants doivent être pris au sérieux, surtout lorsqu’ils visent une personne dans l’exercice de ses fonctions. Oui, nous saluons tous le courage et le sang-froid de cette policière. Mais avons-nous réellement pris le temps de nous demander ce qu’elle a ressenti ? Derrière cette image de force et de maîtrise se cache une femme, avec ses émotions, sa dignité, son vécu. Peu importe sa formation, certains propos dépassent ce que l’on peut apprendre à encaisser. Et qu’en est-il de sa famille ? De ses proches, qui ont vu ces images circuler ? De ses enfants, si elle en a ? Les mots prononcés resteront. Ils ne disparaîtront pas avec le temps. Et les félicitations de son patron, ne suffiront pas à effacer la blessure. Cette policière mérite plus qu’un hommage : elle mérite justice. Elle mérite d’être protégée comme elle nous protège au quotidien. Il est temps de revoir nos lois et nos règlements. Il est temps de reconnaître que les atteintes à la dignité, qu’elles soient explicites, implicites, verbales ou numériques, doivent être clairement définies et sanctionnées. Nous devons envoyer un message clair : aucun comportement qui rabaisse, menace ou déshumanise une personne ne doit être toléré, et ce, par la force de la loi. Fatima Aboubakr Citoyenne Québécoise

@ChiliblueLynn @DahliaKurtz There are french-speaking sands in old french colonies like North Africa, they often come in french Canada for this reason

@DahliaKurtz How long has this guy (migrant) lived in Canada? His French is very good so he’s either lived in France b4 or he’s been here quite a long time and learned the language.

You'll love this! Remember the migrant insulting and harassing the police woman? Meet Mohamed Bekkali. He's 24. He now claims to be a victim of "social and socio-profiling." ❌ He pled guilty last June to identity fraud and possession of counterfeit documents. ❌ He's received at least THREE speeding tickets. ❌ He was fined $228 in a Montreal suburb for "shouting, insulting, blaspheming or threatening" police officers. ❌ Take note, he threatened to buy the female officer and make her his slave. But dear, sweet Mohamed... He is the victim here.

@AI_EmeraldApple @Pirat_Nation Worst take I've read in months

@Pirat_Nation Doing the right thing after the backlash is even more of a L. means he is more concerned over optics than anything else. Shouldn't have happened in the first place.

Epic's Tim Sweeney addressed backlash over recent layoffs, confirming the company will directly cover life insurance for terminally ill employee Michael Prinke and his family. He stated medical details played no role in the decision and apologized for not recognizing the painful situation sooner.

@BenBikmanPhD @RealMattFradd That's cope tho

I’m so glad that as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I belong to a faith that never discusses other religions. In all my years. I truly can’t recall any church leader disparaging another religion. We just focus on our own. Matt: give it a try. Focus on your own faith. I bet you’ll enjoy it.

Out NOW: Catholic apologist, Joe Heschmeyer joins me to absolutely DESTROY Mormonism (in a nice way).

@Pirat_Nation Valve got it easy with steam tbf. The ratio of revenue to employees is insane. Any of you remember half life 3? Yeah, me neither.

Valve veteran Chet Faliszek calls out Tim Sweeney and Epic's 1,000 layoffs while making "as much money as possible "I worked my ass off at Valve, and I could retire today. I made more money than I'll ever make." "You just make one game... how do you have any agency? How do you have any ownership when you're just gonna get laid off like this?" "Hey Tim, Gabe's better at that than you."

@unsafebl0ck @pegobry_en Retard agent of chaos

Cmon man, this is facetious. Does NK need to specifically use that Islamist trope for you to take their threat seriously? North Korea regularly publishes propaganda where they threaten to launch nukes at the US, while having nukes, and the capability to deliver them. They call the US the “axis of evil”. Plenty of people say “death to America”, some of them live in this country. Why should they be taken more seriously than the country with nukes that publishes a news broadcast every 5 years about how great their missiles are? I’d seriously sit down and consider whether you’ve swallowed too much anti-Islamic propaganda to the point you no longer see them as humans capable of rational thought.

For the five billionth time: - You don’t need a conspiracy theory to explain why the US government is interested in an area that has 50% of the world’s oil and 30% of the world’s trade - You don’t need a conspiracy theory to explain why the US government feels threatened by a jihadist death cult whose motto is "Death to America" developing nukes

@GnosticSoul @MatrixMysteries Didn't expect you to take the bait. What is it? Anxiety?

@MathieuChiasson @MatrixMysteries You’re labeling veterans as “suckers”. What a privileged life you live, no? If the day ever came where your world was turned to ashes, you’d pray for those very “suckers” to rescue you.

A married couple revealed their government checks. “$142,000 a year.” From disability. $4,700 a month for her. $7,200 a month for him. What does it say about the system when they’re making more doing nothing than the taxpayers working to fund it.

@GnosticSoul @MatrixMysteries Sucker detected

@MatrixMysteries 2.7% of the budget goes toward VA compensation. That’s peanuts compared to the fraud happening elsewhere, or what politicians to do with our money. And thats even assuming all of that 2.7% is fraud—when it’s far from it. Haters just wishing they made better decisions in life.

@HansAmato You stopped him from stopping gluten?!?

$8,400 on a gastroenterologist, an allergist, and 14 months of elimination diets before someone tested his zonulin levels Had a client come to me after being told he had IBS, possible Crohn's, maybe a "sensitive stomach." He'd cut out gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, corn, nightshades, histamine foods. Was eating 7 foods. Lost 22 pounds he didn't need to lose. Still bloating after every meal. Still waking up looking 6 months pregnant by dinner The allergist ran a skin prick test. Came back negative for everything. The GI ran an endoscopy and colonoscopy. Both clean. "Must be stress-related." Gave him a prescription for dicyclomine and told him to try yoga Nobody measured intestinal permeability. Nobody checked what was happening between the cells of his gut lining. Nobody even considered that the barrier itself was the problem, not the food passing through it We ran zonulin. Through the roof. His tight junctions were blown open. Every food he ate was triggering an immune response not because the food was the problem but because his gut wall was letting partially digested proteins into his bloodstream where they don't belong. His immune system was attacking food particles like foreign invaders because to his body they WERE foreign invaders The issue wasn't removing more foods. It was fixing the barrier. What we did: Stopped all further food restriction immediately. Reintroduced foods one by one while supporting the gut lining. Bone broth daily for collagen and glycine to support mucosal repair. L-glutamine at therapeutic doses for enterocyte fuel. Removed the actual triggers: chronic undereating, excessive cardio, and 4 cups of coffee on an empty stomach every morning (this mf was basically torturing his gut). Added zinc carnosine for mucosal protection. Restored caloric intake to actual maintenance. He'd been eating 1,600 calories at 185 lbs Within 6 weeks he was eating 30+ foods again. Bloating completely gone. The 7-food prison diet that three doctors endorsed was making him sicker by starving the microbial diversity his gut needed to heal $8,400. 14 months. And the answer was to eat MORE, not less btw if you're carrying a list of "safe foods" on your phone and it keeps getting shorter, your problem probably isn't food sensitivity. Your problem is barrier integrity. I go deep on gut permeability, zonulin, and exactly how to repair barrier function on my substack. link in bio

@Pirat_Nation Wtf did I just watch

Escape By Spoon is an indie first-person exploration game where you dig your way out of a prison using only a spoon

@Nadeshot Fedoras

Genuine question, why are people mad about this? I’m really not even trying to be dismissive or sarcastic here. Why in the world would anyone be mad about this?

@Samophlange85 @hutchinson giga coping

@hutchinson Nvidia's demo was shown on 2 RTX 5090s. That alone is $8,000. How many normal people do you know with $10,000+ PCs? Because that's the only way you're going to be using this tech with any reasonable framerate. Also keep in mind with every day, the price is only going up.

It’s up to devs if DLSS 5 photorealism is an option in their games, and they will be able to tune it to their own liking. It’s exclusive to 50 series cards, so any dev who relies on it to make their game pretty for them would be pretty foolish. The backlash is…confusing 🤷🏼‍♂️

@_LucasRizzotto @SydSteyerhart Hahahahaha muhhhh

@SydSteyerhart One side is art directed, the other one is a generic slop upscaling filter. You don't understand why the left is better because you don't understand art direction.

Anti AI hordes will tell you with a straight face that the image on the left looks better than the image on the right, and we're supposed to pretend that its anything other than seething resentment.

@Tylru @Tibbzzee @kiaran_ritchie Jeez imagine being that much emotionally involved

@Tibbzzee @kiaran_ritchie You'd eat literal shit if it was made to look and taste like candy

I know it's all the rage to dunk on this. And admittedly they went to far with Grace Ashcroft. But you are absolutely deluding yourself if you don't think 99% of gamers are going to switch this on and grin from ear to ear.

@SplinteredMind @Grummz Tip fedora

@Grummz You do realize that they’ll lock the AI to prevent gamers from setting styles they deem offensive, don’t you? There’s no way on earth that they’ll allow gamers to give all the characters Afros or dreadlocks, for example. Once they prevent one thing, they’ll prevent it all.

I think a lot of people are going to very mad at DLSS 5. And then, in 2-3 years, when gamers have full control over their games visuals (this will eventually let you set whatever style you want from a game, from anime to retro), people will not be so mad anymore. It's just the way it goes. I don't like the uncanny valley look of it right now, but I remember Netflix going from DVDs to inferior streaming the same way with soooo many hating it.
