Gotta love the use of “Pro Palestine” here, as if the only reason to be upset about genocide is because you have particularly strong feelings towards the specific people being genocided. God forbid we just generally think that genocide is bad no matter who it’s done to or why.
From what little I know of the way Japanese humour works, there’s a decent chance this is all just a bit. There was a guy in Japan who married a different kind of virtual girlfriend not that long before LLMs hit the mainstream, and I heard from a few different Japanese people that he was almost certainly doing it as a joke. Apparently Japanese humour is very, very deadpan and they love seeing people really commit to the bit.
Abject fucking cowardice.

Wasn’t Charlie supposed to be some kind of advocate for free speech? Because this sure doesn’t seem very free speechy.
Even if you really need that $100,000 reward, they’ll screw you out of it just like they did that person who reported Luigi Mangione. Collaborating with fascists won’t even get you your thirty pieces of silver.
So, people on the right are calling for violence against the left? And this is different from any other day ending in Y because…?
And here I was thinking that all you needed to stop a bad guy with a gun was a good guy with a gun.
Guess Benny just doesn’t know any good people.
So… The thing that they were already doing?
OK.
The book does offer the missing context, and is a truly fantastic piece of journalism. Mark Bowden went to immense effort to include the Somali perspectives on the events and the movie flattened out all of those details for the sake of creating some evocative villains.
I still think it’s one of the best war movies ever made, but yes, it absolutely is propaganda and needs to be understood as such.
Sometimes words are a form of violence. And in Charlie’s case, he used those particular words as often and as gleefully as he could.
There will be no amount of suffering he could ever endure that would add up to even a fraction of the misery he has sent out into the world.
As always “The damage was the point” is giving Trump too much credit. He’s not trying to hurt America. He’s more interested in enriching himself than enriching his nation, for sure, but he also sees his fortunes as fundamentally tied to those of America and you can see that clearly in his statements and public actions going back long before his presidential ambitions.
He wants America to be the greatest, most respected, most powerful country in the world, and he’s doing what he thinks will achieve that.
It’s not malice; not towards America as a country, anyway. He’s just genuinely, truly, that incompetent and so are the people around him, because he surrounds himself with people who make him feel smart.
And before you bring it up, yes, he’s a Russian asset. Of course he is. But he’s not the kind of asset you give orders to. They don’t need to. He’s more than capable of doing all the damage they want without any direction.
As another commenter here beautifully put it, “He’s a fire and forget idiot.”
The answers about using Dockerfiles are absolutely correct, but if you’re looking for a quick and simple solution that will work locally, you can always just use the “commit” docker command. This basically saves the current state of a container as a new image. You can then run new containers from that image as needed.

I assume by “not be entirely fair” you’re referring to the fact that we cling to first past the post like a concrete bollard on a sinking ship, in which case yes, absolutely agreed. Our voting is impressively fair in the sense that every vote is tallied and everyone has ample opportunities to vote, but our vote distribution still fucking sucks and needs to be changed pronto.
Yeah, something that I see come up from time to time is defenders of voter ID pointing at the fact that Canada has it, and its like… Yeah, we do. But the list is acceptable ID includes
(sung to the tune Yakko’s Countries of the World)
And if you can’t find any of that, you can have someone else vouch for you.
Also registering to vote can be done on the spot at the polling booth. It takes five minutes.
So if you’re willing to provide aaaaallllllllllllllllllll those options for voter ID, then I’ll believe that the intent is to secure your elections, not make them more difficult.
By the way, we also have mail in voting, proxy voting, advance voting (typically up to a month ahead of an election), votes are always done by hand on paper with a pen (for provincial and civic elections they can be machine tallied with manual recounts as needed, for federal elections they are only ever hand tallied), we put voting stations in prisons (yes, for the people incarcerated there), hospitals, retirement homes and army bases, there are so many voting stations that you are never more than a five minute walk from your nearest one, and your work is obligated to give you time off to go vote if you need it.
Voting doesn’t have to be hard. Canada has proven this time and time again. Our elections are some of the most secure and well managed in the world. And even in elections with a high turnout I have never ever waited more than five minutes to vote. Lines of voters queuing for hours is a choice, not an inevitability.
As I pointed out in another comment, no guessing is required. It’s genetics. We know it’s genetics. That’s been pretty self-evident from the data for decades. It’s just anti-vaxxers who refuse to accept that answer and prefer some made up woo by a quack doctor who tortured children.
Sorry, my bad, two quack doctors. The other sells his blood as an autism “cure”.
More to the point, we already know the cause of autism; genetics. This isn’t new, it’s not some shocking discovery, it’s been known about for ages. Most of the research at this point is focused on the interconnections between autism, ADHD, dyslexia and dysphraxia, which all show a high propensity for genetic clustering; basically if one person in a family has one of them, the odds of the others being present in the same or other members shoots up massively. That’s really interesting and suggests they might all just be different manifestations of the same underlying genetic condition.
The whole notion that autism has a “cause” is just anti-vaxxer nonsense concocted by a fraud doctor (that’s not an accusation, it’s a fact; he was stripped of his medical license after it was shown that his “research” was a sham, and that he literally tortured innocent children to concoct his fake results) feeding on the insecurities of parents who want someone to blame for their child being different rather than just accepting that sometimes that’s just how people do be.
I mean, just take a look at that graph of comparative exports from the US and Brazil in the article. There’s your answer right there. Not only did Brazil massively leap ahead during Trump’s last go at this in 2017, you also see that US imports never really recovered afterwards. Brazil took a commanding lead and held it. Even when the tariffs were gone, the damage was permanent.
The damage from this will be permanent too. Why take the risk that your whole supply chain will get thrown out of whack because some morons in Kansas elect an even bigger moron to lead their country? It’s not worth it.
I’ll bet dollars to donuts you can find similar versions of that chart for lots of other industries. Between his two terms, I think we’re only just beginning to see the full scope of the damage Trump has done, and will do, to the US economy.
“A long time” would be “Since Trump got back in”, since Biden’s administration was actually doing a lot to tackle monopolies. They just did a shit job of advertising what they were doing.
Wait, so cancelling is good now? Dear MAGA, please make up your fucking minds.
And, y’know, grow a spine.
