@langercarl @gator_gum I bet you have no idea where this image came from, what the report said and when it was authored.
When you google tax and gas in Canada it shows up early.
But here is a hint...
It's a report that is 5 years old. Authored by a special interest group aimed at promoting gas.

@ItsPoeTime_ @LetGrokCook @factpostnews I didn't knock the AI response; I knocked the user. The simple fact you didn't figure that out is your issue, not mine.
Your administration is working wonders at dumbing down American culture and education. It'll take decades to rocover. Hopefully that process starts this fall.

@grimsbeard @LetGrokCook @factpostnews then look it up yourself
yall hating AI has more to do with your lack of intelligence and understanding than it does with AI being “manipulated”
Personally research over the “news”, that is biased and self serving of clicks for currency, will always be better

@LetGrokCook @factpostnews AI responses are only as good as the human question.
Vastly different results when you simply Google "Trump cuts bee research." It becomes specified in its responses. This is sugar-coated as everything is OK. And then you get top news citings about how it's not OK too.

Having played this week on the #MFSurvival DayZ server has reconnected me with old friends and introduced me to a slew of really funny new ones too. @HutchMF (and co), this has been a blast and a half so far.
Thanks for including me into the fun!

@newscoreca @bc_perspective We need recall legislation. We need a no confidence vote. HOW do we get RID of this guy?,

Why Mark Carney orchestrated a soft coup to overthrow the Trudeau gov & install himself as PM in 2024. Biden gov was about to indict Brookfield's influence peddling employee Mark Carney for violating US anti-trust laws. US had evidence to indict "climate cartel" boss Mark Carney.
news Core@newscoreca
US House Judiciary Committee report concluded that LEFT WING ACTIVIST, Mark Carney & his net zero agenda violates antitrust laws - causes "higher prices, including in the critical fossil fuel, aviation & agriculture (food) industries, posing a significant threat to the economy."

@ronmortgageguy Back then you had the right idea. Sure, population growth played a part, but you were already acknowledging that people treat real estate like stocks. That's the cornerstone of the issue. Without that, none of this would have been possible.
So why did you change your tune?

@streamloots @Divatopia_ Literally super obvious. All people need to do is use their eyeballs. But good thing @streamloots at least addressed it, I guess?

Ok. Since short goth chic with tats and a sassy attitude was out of the birthday wishes this year (dammit), I guess I just wish for some fun this weekend. Probably gonna do that. Been working on @StreamerBot off and on tonight, so I will wanna test that.
#VarietyGames maybe?
English

That @StreamElements news is troublesome. I wonder if @OWN3D is the route. I might finally go over to Streamer.bot. I used to use PhantomBot, but it was not cross-platform, and I want to recommend something to CC friends panicking.

RE: StreamElements
To get everyone on the same page, here's a breakdown on what's happening, because rumors always travel further and faster in a vacuum.
Earlier today, there was an initial rumor that StreamElements was laying off all staff and shutting down. I heard this secondhand from a trusted source, but, like any rumor, it was not confirmed; it was merely a starting point. (I personally require at least two independent sources to confirm a story, as individuals can make mistakes or misinterpret the facts, especially if there's a reason that might make it personal.)
Since then, this single source has repeated this story to everyone in his StreamElements Sponsorship Discord (not the official one), and as such, it has been shared as a rumor widely across streamer Twitter. Yes, he does work for StreamElements as a Creator Success Manager. So, he does have credibility. At the same time, I have attempted to get secondary confirmation from anyone at StreamElements - but have been unable to. Every person I have spoken to about this (creators, former SE staff, media people) has the same source... the person mentioned above.
Now that said, let's talk contributing factors:
1. StreamElements continues to be silent on the matter.
2. They have been slow to pay users in recent weeks.
3. They seem to have been removed from Twitch's Third Party sponsorship offers.
4. They have been soliciting donations to keep the service free.
5. They have had numerous layoffs over the last few years, and more have left of their own volition in the last few months.
On the other hand, it's unusual to simply shut down a service with hundreds of thousands of users without first becoming a paid service. Or maybe just shutting down part of the service and focusing wholly on the sponsorship side. Either way, it's unusual.
This entire thing is unusual. And while the rumors may end up being true, I don't feel confident saying that yet. As I said, my standard is at least two independent confirmations - more is better. I always prefer being right to being first.
That said, given the situation as presented, it may still be worthwhile to ensure any SEPay money is requested, and you may want to download your alerts (or move to an alternative, such as Streamlabs. Disclosure: I have a partnership with them - but an easy link to do so is attached below.)
If I learn more before StreamElements addresses it publicly themselves, I will share whatever facts I can confirm.

@KanadianDane @cspotweet Yea, cuz faceless anonymous accounts sure demonstrate totally different energy than "the type," too. ;)

#RoastofKevinHart was pretty good. @TheRock laid so many zingers. The shot at @petedavidsonSNL was good, but the flat-backing of @KevinHart4real was murder in The Forum..... straight killed it.
Just...beyond hilarious. I thought @lizzo stole the show, but The Rock was great.

@ZylstraJohn @cspotweet You should really look into how the three branches of government work in Canada and in Alberta.
English

@cspotweet Appeal or not, the question needs to be on the ballot. the courts can have their opinion, but in this case, the judge is obviously wrong.

@sharitaylor2020 @MarkJCarney While I agree with booing AI data centers, the reality is that without them being housed in Canada for Canadian interests, we are doing ourselves a disservice. AI, sadly, has some good application uses.
English

@MarkJCarney These children don’t want or need AI “data” centres. You ran as a Liberal, act like one.

@brian_krog61748 @globalnews What's one thing you would never be able to do if that statement were true? It's staring you right in the face.

@globalnews I wouldn't doubt it. The Liberals are the new Nazi party.
