Neither of you are correct…

But now you’re getting belligerent.

Just stop being a bigot instead, it’s honestly a lot better for everyone.

No, they were still wrong…

And you’re just agreeing with their bigoted beliefs:

Immigrants are not rich people.

I legitimately don’t know why anyone would think all immigrants are poor. But I admittedly don’t keep a close eye on what propaganda you all are exposed to.

With established immigrants achieving a 69.7% homeownership rate compared to 61.9% for Canadian-born citizens, this data challenges common assumptions about housing trends in Canada.

I think the problem is you think all immigrants are poor refugees, which again, is incredibly bigoted.

But it seems like you hold these bigoted beliefs out of sheer ignorance and not maliciousness, that’s the only reason I’m bothering to try and explain it to you

You…

You think only poor people are immigrants?

And that they only do manual labor?

I’ve never seen someone attempt to call someone out for bigotry while displaying so many bigoted beliefs themselves…

It’s almost impressive

Does none of that make sense to you?

You could have just said “no” bro…

But I’m not trying to argue, was trying to help people understand something they clearly don’t.

Claiming that a country like Spain can totally project as much power as the US if they decided to go hog-wild on their own invasion would be dishonest

Good thing I never said that I guess…

A 85 Civic, a Semi truck, and a F1 racecar are all vehicles used to move people and things to a different place. They all do the same things, but in drastically different ways.

NATO is a way for all members states to project power on the world stage. But obviously they don’t put in the same amount of resources or get the same “power” out of it. Just like the three choices of vehicles.

Does none of that make sense to you?

For Spain NATO is a fuel efficient practical investment, for the US it’s a bulldozer. But they’re both doing the same thing: projecting power on the world stage.

Absolutely no one was trying to quantify and compare, it’s just a statement on the basic premise for NATO and the reason every single member state joined…

Edit:

The simplest way I can think to put it:

The purpose of NATO isn’t for the US to project power.

The purpose is for every member to be able to.

When he said it’s for the US he was talking in the context of why the US is a member.

If he was talking about Spain at the time, he’d have said the same thing about Spain.

cope

Never seen a rational person say that before, still haven’t.

Quick edit:

You have a list of “suspect users” on your profile page for not like China and Russia?!

I know .ml is a silly place with nor rules, but how haven’t you been banned by every other instance for that kind of harassment?

If you rewind it makes more sense.

Dude obviously isn’t a great English speaker, so a sound bite out of context in meaningless.

It feels like he meant it in the same context it allows any member to project power on the world stage, that’s literally and explicitly always been the point of NATO.

But when someone is speaking off the cuff in what not even be their second best language, it’s gonna sound weird.

I should consult an earthquake map to see my risk of liquidation or amplification and make a judgement based on that.

And there are no known graveyards around here…

Are you saying everyone should pay for a 300k inspectionbefore buying land?

Like, are you seriously saying everyone in “southern Ontario’s Niagara region” should just operate under the assumption there’s human remains under their house?

I’m seriously asking, because surely you must mean something else and I’m just misunderstanding.

I even looked it up, it’s 590k people, and 715 square miles.

The point was if everyone has to pay for something, it drastically raises demand and companies know consumers have no choice but to pay someone

That will always raise prices.

And it’s wild you’re shocked that people are ignorant of what’s underground on their property. How the fuck would they know?

A 2002 provincial law — the Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act (FBCSA) — triggered what came next.

The couple was ordered by Ontario’s Registrar of Burials to launch a burial site investigation (BSI) to determine “the origin of the site.”

Absolutely insane homeowners have to foot the bill, and I guarantee before it could be legally required, it was a fraction of that cost.

The survey should be something a government agency does at no cost to the landowner.

The current system incentives hiding or destroying anything that is found.

The company said it is making it harder for banned users to sneak back onto the platform and that it will refer users to local resources when it appears they are in distress or “pursuing prohibited behavior.”

Still not buying it…

At first it felt like they were trying to get around privacy laws disclosing what you tell a chatbot.

Now it seems like they also want to use it for IDing users like Discord and other places got recently.

They’re not worried about lawsuits and definitely not worried about ethics. They see tragedy as an opportunity to get people to agree to shit we normally wouldn’t.

According to Brownstein, the decrease is likely due to many factors including public health policies and education about healthier lifestyles as well as medications such as GLP-1s.

As soon as you stop taking it, you gain the weight back…

So while it’s “slowing” for adults, it’s comes with a potential giant burst of people loose access to it

And you can never count on the American healthcare system to do anything except try to cut what they pay for.

I’ve seen double digit posts about it closing, which is super weird on Lemmy.

Before that is never heard of it either

My bad then.

I assumed your comment was in reference to the article you commented under.

You meant something else, and believed what you meant was obvious. And now you’re very upset about it.

No sweat, there’s a very easy way to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

Why haven’t you realized that one country paying the country most likely to invade them to handle the first country’s defense is a bad idea?

Like, at any moment a future US president can just turn off Canada’s part.

Relying on America for defense doesn’t make any sense logically

I could quote pieces of the article until (hopefully) you read all the bits and understand…

But can you try reading the article first?

They’re controlling for that…

The real sticking point is another way to say a rate doubled, is that it increased from 0.0004% rate to 0.0008% rate, is an increase of 0.0004%.

That’s most likely going on here, and is something we’ve always known.

It’s not like someone is born destined to experience these conditions, people are just suspectable at various rates, so for some people right on the line, weird shit can tip them over when they wouldn’t have before.

Do the same test with sugar or caffeine and your likely to get similar results even, but good luck finding control groups that aren’t drastically different in other ways.

We also can’t control the study the other way, and force kids to smoke weed

Anyone acting like these types of studies proves anything safe or unsafe, at best doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

A cynic would say they destroyed the cemetery because it demonstrated the humanity of Israel’s victims…

When the IDF first entered Gaza in 2023, soldiers were astonished to find well cared-for Jewish graves marked with Stars of David. The graves were cared for by four generations of the same family. Now displaced by the IDF, the family is in Egypt, says the CWGC. The Gaza cemetery is in a part of the Gaza Strip the IDF has closed to civilians and is impossible to approach safely.

They won’t let Americans watch it due to tarrifs, but pretty much just this:

Right?

I was overjoyed to be able to drop it after my first year of high school.

This was college…

Grown ass legal adults paying thousands of dollars, to walk around campus an hour a week.

Which is why I did the option that at least involved a pool
