Tesla owns their dealerships rather than franchising them. Either way, higher premiums or less Tesla dealers is a win win

I know this isn’t related to the article but I would love it as a fuck you to Trump if Canada started allowing political refugees from the states

No wonder why he hates transparency

Yeah just like he did in 2014

Bro people actually taking your comment as serious lmaooo

Did y’all not realize this is obviously a joke?

I’ll die for my land before I become a second class citizen to your empire, fascist

I was specifically talking about https://co-op.crs/, a chain of cooperative grocery stores and gas stations through western Canada. However, that seems to be a good list of other coops worth taking a look at!

I live in Alberta so I can’t say much on the front of where to live.

When a lot of Canadians say they hate the US (including myself) we are more so saying that we hate the government, not everyone living there. I fully welcome any Americans who want to come to Canada with open arms to escape what is going on down south and I highly doubt you will face much bias being from the US.

As for businesses, I have started to use co-op a lot more especially for gas. I don’t know how many there are in BC, but we have them everywhere here in Alberta. It’s a Canadian co-operative association and you can get a membership to your local co-op for $5 CAD (it isn’t required to shop there but you do get equity and money back on every purchase you make)

I imagine it certainly is. If I didn’t land what I am doing now that takes up all my time I was going to try to join the reserves

You know not everything on the internet is necessarily directed at you

It’s easier to wage an imaginary culture war than it is to try to make any real changes

All this “””global warming””” bs is climate extremism! /s

It’s so bad that the temperature where I live (Edmonton, Alberta) barely gets below freezing during winter when it should be around -15 to -20C in December and January. Last winter, we barely had snows save a few snowstorms. Every summer, the city fills with smoke from yearly wildfires and it gets hard to breathe.

The climate was never like this in the last 10 years, yet people still say climate change isn’t human caused or doesn’t exist

Mine shows 990. I assume it only counts posts from federated instances so that’s probably why

I got banned for saying China and the DPRK are oppressive regimes and that Ukraine has a right to exist because I violated “rule 1”. The irony lmao

If he sees a mistake, he’s having Nunavut

Trump must have visited bumfuck nowhere Alberta and extrapolated that to the rest of the country

They can’t respond they escaped the matrix

I guess you are right in that it is a phrase rather than one word. The point that I was trying to say is that oversimplifying what defines intelligence makes the distinction useless. There is a use in defining the difference between a phone computing numbers and our ability to think and I probably should’ve explained it like that

On an unrelated note, I keep seeing you refer to someone called drag. Is this you but in the 3rd person? Are there more than one dragon rider?

You do have a word to define that: the ability to process information. Defining intelligence in such a broad way makes the distinction practically meaningless. You cannot tell me with a straight face that you and I have the same intelligence as the phone in our pockets; there is a clear distinction between how we parse information and how a phone does.

I honestly don’t see what the main argument of all of this was anymore. If you were arguing that AI has intelligence and can think like us, and that we should treat it that way, then I guess we should emancipate every kind of predictive algorithm while we’re at it. Autocorrect has been oppressed for too long!
