How many derailed threads does this make today, do you figure? 🙄

1. Engines can do image searches. 2. AI can recognize faces. Can he put this grand mystery together? 😑

I have. It's vague. Strictly interpreted, it'd be frightening if it was enforced.

No, they'll have your face, and with basic AI they can use that to search the net and easily locate your name, where you live, who your relationships are, where you work etc... There it is. You can't keep a debate going for more than a couple of posts without projecting. 🥱

So...like a porn blocker, that already exists for parents who want them? But sure, it's probably better to get the government involved and have them tracking and verifying the privacy policy compliance of sketchy porn sites both in Canada and abroad. 🤡 Who ever argued that data/privacy breaches never happened? Those stores didn't build up large customer databases from people just buying things at stores. They did so when clients signed up for store-credit, rewards programs, promotions etc. Just swiping your credit card or your debit card gives a vendor almost zero information on you. The same goes for card-skimming. Thieves are duplicating card info and copying passwords to make fraudulent transactions. They're not even going to have your birthday. I have to give you some credit though. You shockingly at least tried to support your opinion for a change. You failed miserably, but at least you tried. 🫡

I think it could have been broken up into different parts. The sexual assault, revenge porn etc stuff I doubt anyone would disagree with. The free speech and the criminalization of "hate speech" (whatever it means) is something that I think deserves more debate and clarification.

Yeah, lock them up! We'll get the RCMP chasing after sketchy Russian/Brazilian porn site operators we have no way of monitoring. So easy! 🙄 As for Interact, stores don't get any of your personal data from it. The banks knows who you are, but the vendor doesn't know anything about you unless the billing somehow requires it. You can buy a $5000 computer on order and they never get anything but your name and maybe your address. As usual, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Sadly yes. Well-trained infantry, no equipment or support. It stops people from trying to invade Russia. It is not an effective threat for bullying your neighbours. "Give us your territory or we nuke you" is a one-way ticket to the end of the world. Whatever threats Russia makes around that, you have to assume even the servile donkeys in the Russian military wouldn't trigger Armageddon and consign their families to fiery deaths for the sake of one man's vanity. He already has no global standing. Russia's a pariah state and quickly becoming a client of China.

The "law requires" means very little to the people who would abuse it. You are a fraudster's dream. "I need your credit card CCV# to complete your pizza order ser. I promise I'll forget it afterwards." 🤣

I love the irony of you talking about brainwashing.

There's no difference between a 19 year old cashier "scanning" my face and ID, and a camera with AI-driven facial recognition and data processing doing the same? Thanks for proving your mental disability....again! 🤡

You only find it hard to believe because of your bias. If you actually looked it up, you'd see it's true, and not just here in Canada, but all over the world. Your skepticism, like with many things, only seems to point in one direction.

and yet that's still the number of Canadians who'd vote for Biden over Trump. Trump, the man who called US service members who get captured/killed/wounded "losers", and who casually suggested we might be able inject bleach into our blood to cure COVID, is the man you consider more presidential. SURE.

Better than the 1940's.

No, but it is contingent on the reality that their history is one of trauma, and what you call Jewish-supremacism might have something to do with what happened in the previous century.

The "right-to-return" for the descendants of Palestinian refugees going back to the 1940's is something that most of the Arab peace proposals demand of Israel. If it were allowed, it would make Israel an Arab-majority state. The whole purpose of Israel, as they see it, is to have a Jewish-majority place to live where they're not at the mercy of the whims and attitudes of other ethnicities/religions. That historically hasn't worked well for them.

Still the writer. Anyone who's not mentally disabled should be able to see the problem. If you don't, that's just comedy-fuel for the rest of us. I'd have a problem if a grocery store required me to scan my driver's license and submit myself to an AI facial scan just to buy booze. I'm not too worried that the 19 year old at the counter is going to remember all of my personal details after a quick glance, and then record it in all in a database. 🤡

Well there aren't really any other choices. Trudeau was terrible, Mulroney was less bad, Chretien was okay, Martin we can't really say, Harper was alright and then (for the repeat) Trudeau was terrible again.

He reduced taxes, and expanded spending. We didn't really see much from Harper either. There's no doubt he was miles better than Trudeau, but he was hardly an austerity PM.

and you tuned out, like everyone else, and got on with your day I imagine. Yes, I think so too, but I roll my eyes once a year and move on. I don't come to the internet and talk about how we need White History Month. 😆

What does that look like? There are black people on the home screen of your office computer? An email goes out that says, "Something something, black History month"? I think it's a nothingburger.

Is anyone forced to celebrate Black History month, or even pay attention to it for that matter? 😑

He's calculated, but operating within a dictatorship where the information that flows to the top has been what Putin wants to hear, rather than the reality. He'd never have invaded Ukraine in the first place if not for the misguided belief it would be over quickly, that the Ukrainians wouldn't resist tooth-and-nail, and that the Russian "bear" was even remotely as capable as everyone had previously understood. Exactly. Whoops. The self-serving delusion that democracies are soft and incapable of showing resolve or defending themselves is one that has led many dictators to their doom.

The $0 product doesn't exist.

The one you mentioned was retarded, and the problem with it is obvious. My idea is for parents to pay attention to their kids, teach them right, and put porn blockers on their and their kids devices if they're convinced that Johnny seeing lady parts will him turn him bad. As Michael said earlier, you don't have to worry about this sort of thing anyways, do you?
