Forgive me if you thought I was pointing at you specifically. I’m pointing at idiots who make all these stupid and childish arguments, in this thread, but in every Lemmy post about speed cameras.

The real problem is people incapable of adhering to societal rules. The real problem is children in adult clothes getting mad when they actually get in trouble for breaking rules. “Oh why dont they just redesign the whole town to make that impossible?!?! What if someone hacks the speed camera and gives innocent people a ticket!!!Why must I read and obey the speed limit??? Oh the injustice!”

Speed cameras are inexpensive, they are not prejudiced, and they work. They cause no trouble to anyone obeying the limit and send a ticket to those who do. To everyone who also argues about fines being legal for the rich, yeah, that’s bullshit. Solve THAT problem. I’m all for it.

Except then everyone has to suffer for the stupidity of few, and emergency vehicles can’t got faster in an emergency…

? You’ve never seen a cop park right over a little dip in the road at the bottom of a hill right where the limit changes?

I’ve never seen stupider argument than I have with these speed camera debates. Read the speed limit sign, look at your speed, follow that speed. I’d prefer your careless ass get a ticket in the mail from a camera than pay a dumb cop to sit there all day letting his buddies and “important” people go while giving everyone else a hard time.

I don’t. All tools can be abused.

Wait is this a joke? Was this a King of the Hill episode?

If “less affluent film markets” use AI, where are the artists going to get their first shot? How will they learn and hone their craft if not in the industry as lower paid talent on lower budget stuff? Just work for free for years and then Disney will start raining money on you eventually? (note: this will not happen)

I don’t know what to do about AI. It’s not even AI that is a problem. It’s capitalism. It’s corporations slashing every tiny expense to maximize profits for the shareholders. If they could just pretend that us film crews were actually valuable, treated us like shareholders, we could have a bigger piece of the pie and they could have better media, but then they’d have slightly less money so…

Oh well.

Royers is a Canadian company and ONE in their lineup of work boots are made in Canada, though you’ll have to figure out which. People at the safety shoe store are happy to tell you they are all made in Canada even after you show them the tag on the tongue that says Vietnam.

I’m sure this is her fault somehow, that’s why she is the thumbnail right?

Where is that meme with the person with a boot on their face and then zoomed out its their own hand in the boot they are staging the pic?

This is that.

Just got a quote for new ac and furnace installation. They sent the quote with both units being American made. I asked them if they can quote with non-US products. If they can’t, I’ll try another company…

Thank you for taking the time. I think I was just pigeon-holeing myself in regards to this exact situation and how silly I found it that people were happy to blame Carney specifically within hours of a story (about a private company doing evil) getting published, literally less than a few weeks totally of them specifically doing this particular evil.

I agree with “the government as a whole institution is to blame.” For having this type of private business at all.

I don’t mean to be obtuse, I just really am not sure what you are telling me. Are you saying the Prime Minister (Carney, Trudeau, Harper, earlier?) should have already shut them down?

I think this might be a little different. It’s a private company, and I’m not familiar with the Rom situation. I truly don’t know the laws or rules that would govern this sort of thing. We shall see.

What does this have to do with our Prime Minister knowing about a large Canadian Company providing services to build a concentration camp?

Reality is just a bit out of reach sometimes eh?

It’s ok. Live in your weirdly specific 90’s movie trope where you are mad as hell at your BF but they have no clue because literally nobody will communicate and everyone assumes someone else told them.

Or… Hear me out. Wait literally 1 business day. Then if he hasn’t said anything, be the change you want to see in the world and send this article and anything else you can find to him.

Then by all means, bitch and moan if it helps you cope with this dystopia. We are all trying to get through. I just personally only have so much energy, I’d rather spend it on actual shit choices that have been made and not on something he has almost no control over and probably doesn’t know about yet.

Lol on a Tampabay newspaper article posted to Lemmy 42 minutes ago.

Yeah I’m sure he’s right on top of this. Shame on him for not already condemning it!

What? Why would they?

Careful, someone with bad reading comprehension will be posting tomorrow about the deep state Democrats funding biowarfare tick development to turn everyone gay/vegan.

Thank you for your garbage take which lead to some informative discussion below!

I see. Well thank you for describing it then.
