Hey @Canada, this is spying on your citizens. Privacy is a human right, don’t violate that

We won't be far behind if C-22 passes. In its current state, VPNs would almost certainly require us to log identifying user data. Signal isn't headquartered in Canada so they can just shut off Canadian servers, but our HQ is. We pay an ungodly amount of taxes to this corrupt government, and in return they want to destroy the entire essence of our service to basically spy on its own citizens. Not happening. We'll move HQ and take our taxes elsewhere.

@MaxDugganMax @Noahpinion Free all the ancient Patriarchates in the middle east (Constantinople, Antioch, Jerusalem, Alexandria).
English
@Noahpinion The West should consider preparing another round of Crusader expeditions. Constantinople needs to be liberated eventually.
Jerusalem is in good hands, as is.

Europe vs. the Mideast is the most epic, long-running Clash of Civilizations in world history.
- Trojan War
- Greece vs. Persia
- Alexander
- Rome vs. Parthians
- Byzantines vs. Sassanids
- Arab conquests
- Crusades
- Turkish conquests
- WW1

There are only two real Clashes of Civilizations throughout history: 1) Europe vs. the Mideast, and 2) Central Asia vs. India. Cases where semipermeable geographic boundaries allow invaders to establish beachheads for centuries but not permanently.

@ningbeck @Noahpinion Carthaginians were an offshoot of Phoenicia whose civilization started in the Levant so yes.

@TheChaosWeeber So let's have the referendum and the question can be settled.

@NixN1xx @RoyalEndeavour @NathanJordan85 No, but those "first people" ceased to exist as a unique group, they assimilated into and became part of the Anglo-Saxons over time, the English people.
"Māori are the first known people of New Zealand"
No, they *arose* from the first known people of New Zealand, Polynesians.
English
The Anglo-Saxons have been in Britain for about twice as long as the Maori have been in New Zealand.
It makes you wonder why the Maori are called "indigenous" to New Zealand while Britain is called a "nation of immigrants".
Ramin Nasibov@RaminNasibov
What historical fact sounds fake but is true?
English
@NixN1xx @RoyalEndeavour @NathanJordan85 So that would be the Britons, a Celtic group that was described by the Romans, still make up a good chunk of English descent, and whose language is a precursor to Welsh and Cornish.
English
@RoyalEndeavour @NathanJordan85 Māori are the first known people of New Zealand.
We know there were people already in Britain, before the Anglo-Saxons.
Indigenous = 1st known people.

@TheBlueGem3 My 3 year old needed hernia repair surgery. Told 18 month wait in Canada. Went to Europe and got it done in a month. Cost: a couple thousand $$$. Surgery is done, he's recovered, still no one in Canada has even called us for the appointment.
English
My friend in the US spouse had a heart attack last week. Thankfully he’s recovering but now the stress of cost has hit their family. They estimate after insurance over $100,000 in medical bills. No Canadian wants American style healthcare. Canadian Forever!! 🇨🇦

@TheChaosWeeber Cons win in the provinces with the most private sector workers... Who'd have thought?
BTW, in Canada, only 25% of taxpayers are net contributors. Voting Lib means they're freeloaders, not intelligent.

@eurofounder I was beginning to get worried, monogamy isn't very French...

While US leaders hold historic talks in China, the French president is busy navigating an affair with his Iranian side chick

🇫🇷 Emmanuel Macron aurait entretenu durant plusieurs mois une "relation platonique" avec l’actrice iranienne Golshifteh Farahani, avec des "messages qui seraient allés assez loin", provoquant des tensions au sein du couple présidentiel, qui auraient conduit à la gifle. (via @Florian_Tardif)

@magnum_d1ngus @News4GSM @ThePrimeagen The Odin community may not like AI but Google Gemini always says good things about Odin 🤣. Always confuses Odin syntax with Go syntax tho 🤣🤦♂️
English
@News4GSM @ThePrimeagen You’re not going to find much love for vibe coding from the majority of the Odin community.
English
I have really loved my time exploring Odin-lang
It's crazy having a language that is batteries included. Using a language that knows what it's job is and is good at it.
0 dependencies is bliss

@nerdatroid @Jonathan_Blow Only some video games. Also a lack of Linux OEMs. If Lenovo, HP and Dell actually pushed say, Fedora, they'd obliterate Windows.
English
@simplex_fx The whole thesis here is wrong. If this was true, JetBrains wouldn't exist 🤦♂️

This.
FOSS is shitty price dumping, killing complete industries, while exploiting some idiots, just so big corp does not have to pay a fat bill.

I remember how Eclipse eviscerated IDE market. There have been numerous companies competing to build the best IDEs. Then suddenly Eclipse came, it sucked all the air. It was no longer feasible to build a company around IDE product.

@govt_corrupt 4. Electing the same government that got us to this point a 4th time is definitely a sign of retardation.
English
What’s the biggest issue facing Canada right now?
1. Donald Trump
2. The Canadian govt
3. The media
4. Retarded Canadians.
English
@Noahpinion Did it evolve recently? Where are you getting this? When the "red pill" culture first appeared it was more about guys trying to learn to become "pick-up artists", not forcing girls to marry mid men. It initially used slightly misogynistic terminology but wasn't anti consent...
English
Remember all the fairy tales where the evil prince tries to force the girl to marry him even though she clearly hates him?
Red Pill ideology thinks we can scale that up to industrial levels, so that every regular guy becomes the evil prince.
Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼@Noahpinion
The Red Pill idea is to take away women's jobs so they're forced to marry mid men, as a sort of sexual redistribution scheme
English
@FreeSpe41527370 @JenniferJJacobs @CBSNews @aidan_stretch If there's one thing I learned about Trump from his first term, it's to ignore anything he says and only pay attention to what is actually happening.
English
@JenniferJJacobs @CBSNews @aidan_stretch Given Trump's attitude towards Ukraine I have a hard time believing that. Does trump know about it? Otherwise, it makes sense to buy tech developed under battlefield conditions.
English
Scoop via @CBSNews: A memo between US and Ukraine outlines the terms of a defense deal between the two countries. It would allow Ukraine to export its military tech to the US and manufacture drones in joint ventures with American companies, @aidan_stretch reports.
English
@Noahpinion So everyone believes incels are a problem but the left's solution is to kick them while they're down? Surely as an economist you see a problem with the fact there's a large surplus of men who aren't able to meaningfully participate in the economy, right?

My latest for WSJ "Female emancipation reduced the utility of...'low-value men'..in previous decades, monogamous marriage was 'DEI for men,' meaning it used to be easier for men to find partners, regardless of their own level of success or attractiveness" wsj.com/opinion/free-e…

@T_Hammer_1 @BlondeBigot11 It was diverse though. In the prairies lots of Slavs and Germanic people, versus the very WASP-y Ontario and BC. East coast lots of Celtic people.
English
@BlondeBigot11 Canada was 90% white European in the 1990’s. That’s Whiter than the U.S. has ever been.
English
“Canada was always multicultural”
No. Not like it is today.
This is what my class looked like in the 80s too.
This is what white liberal boomers had but they voted for diversity for you and your descendants.

@Olfool2 @Arbitrary_user @GearoidReidy @Noahpinion The point is the "future impending failure" has been predicted for a long time and hasn't come to fruition.
English
@dismalcode @Arbitrary_user @GearoidReidy @Noahpinion That's future impending failure, not being a current failed state.
English
One of the many benefits from the tourism boom to Japan is people finally getting to experience firsthand what the country is like, and seeing through that the failed state narrative that had been sold in so many places
Steph Smith@stephsmithio
Everyone should go to Japan at least once (preferably early in life) just to understand what a highly functioning society can look like
