Trudeau bans Tiktok from operating in Canada, but not banning Canadians from using it? Essentially just forcing Tiktok to close their Canadian offices and lay off their employees.

Anecdotally I have heard people today saying Canada needs to increase ties with China, a take that would’ve made you persona non grata just yesterday

How the hell is this 2 hours long with 34 million views?? The first 2 minutes felt like 10

Counterpoint: Commander on tabletop sim is really fun. Why yes my deck does cost 800 dollars on mtg goldfish because I put all the prettiest cards in it. How much did I pay? 5 dollars for tabletop sim on sale

I have a redmi note 11 and I find they work really well for being in that price range. Only downside is you need to get it drop shipped because they aren’t sold in North America, and the band comparability isn’t the same so the signal can be a little weak.

All the talk about TIFF cancelling the documentary about Russian soldiers is breaking my brain. It’s not enough that the documentary is already pro Ukraine by showing the Russian soldiers become disillusioned with the war, anything that shows Russians as human beings cannot be allowed in Western media. Knowing they would gladly show a documentary humanizing Nazis but Russians are a bridge too far

One of the most important cultural artifacts to come out of Toronto

Nope not that one! The fact that it could be more than one album is fucked

Yea it is

If the international boxing community can’t form a new international governing body by early 2025 it will not be in the 2028 olympics. I’m assuming it will be the same for every olympics after that until they form something

I remember being a kid in Catholic school and learning about how saints have to have 3 miracles attributed to them to be canonized. At that age I was like okay I can buy this guy Jesus was doing miracles 2000 years ago but theres no way saints are doing all these miracles constantly in the modern day that’s just silly

I am receiving reports that the Trans Mega has ties to Shadow Inc. And is obfuscating the primary results

Bad bit, invasive species are incredibly damaging to local ecosystems oftentimes causing mass die offs, if not extinctions, of local flora and fauna. See round gobies, Asian carp, and zebra mussels in the great lakes. More often than not invasive species are introduced accidentally into ecosystems by humans, they are not naturally migrating there.

We do see migrations of animals further north as the climate warms like armadillos and deer ticks in the Americas but these are not treated as invasive species. Similarly, species not native to an ecosystem but have become naturalized and are therefore not as damaging are not treated as invasive, like European starlings, dandelions, and pigeons in North America.

Now from a Vegan POV I don’t know what the best solution to invasive species would be. I have heard some vegans make the argument that invasive species control is better as it results in less animal death overall but it is difficult.

Do you have a source for the XY chromosomes? The only source I’ve seen that from is the IBA which as I mentioned isn’t a trustworthy source necessarily. I’ve seen the president of the IBA claim that in a an interview with Russian media but they haven’t put out anything past that.

Not saying XY chromosomes would change my opinion on the situation but it would be helpful to know

People are going after this boxer because she previously was disqualified from a tournament in 2023 for failing their “sex test” because she has high levels of testosterone. Notably I believe the international boxing association ran this tournament, an organization the IOC has cut ties with. I don’t know if there is a confirmed reason for her high T levels but it could be due to many genetic factors

Not trans, just has a higher than average testorone level. Which could be due to a myriad of genetic factors

I’m so fucking tired of this discourse, besides the very obvious transphobia that the Brits love, at this point it’s thinly veiled sexism that the only women competing should be visibly stereotypically feminine. Which you know, runs counter to the required muscle mass to compete in these sports. Then you’ve got the factor that the women targeted in these tirades are often times POC so it’s checking even more bigotry boxes.

With their collapsing economy and lack of import in global politics, the purpose of TERF island appears to be acting as a bigotry factory exporting their shit takes to the rest of the world.

That’s why the best solution is to sell alcohol to minors and hold it for them until they’re old enough to own it
