  • Dude hasn't had a real job, so having things handed to him like this is prob second nature for him.

    • Trump tells UK to buy chlorinated chicken from US if it wants tariff relief

  • Studies have shown that washing food in chlorine doesn't actually work as US authorities think. It can put the bacteria into a survival state called VBNC, viable but non-culturable. This means labs cannot culture the bacteria to test for its presence, but it is present and can still cause illness. It hides the problem, allowing for lower safety practices in favor of productivity and profit. Here is one such study: https://journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.1128/mbio.00540-18

    • Exploring Reddit Propaganda in Canada

  • I know a couple of friends who were banned without warning from r/canada for super weak reasons while correcting right-wing misinformation so I'm not surprised.

    • Should Canada explore developing a nuclear weapons program?

  • Before, I definitely would have said no. Working toward a nuke free world was going to get humans past the Great Filter. After understanding how susceptible humans are to propaganda, seeing how much more our technology is growing than our collective humanity, witnessing a small group of rich people use entire populations like they are nonsentient resources, and watching the USA power walk towards facisim... we are not going to make it past the Great Filter. Unfortunately it is starting to become more viable that longest lasting peace our species could hope to achieve comes from the fear of mutually assured destruction. All in all, I am no longer against the thought of it at all, especially after seeing how that worked out for Ukraine.
