Her and her husband were sick af. It's good they got caught (relatively) early into their thing, they almost certainly would've continued on with that shit indefinitely if they could've.

Only two convicted murders but one of them was her own sister, Karla Homolka served 12 years and got out in 2005.

Fuckers can try. I wasn't directly involved in this but I grew to know personally David Arthur Johnston over (?) a decade ago who spent years in Victoria viscerally protesting right-to-sleep laws/anti-laws and finally won. Due to his tireless efforts, hunger strikes in jail, and community support he helped pave the way for homless people to pitch and sleep in tents for the night on any public property.

Don't like seeing poor people on public lands? Okay... be part of the solution.

That was his message. And here we are still working on the questions involved, and solutions. Good. As long as the convo is still active and we haven't given up.

Literally

I just read something the other day that a single query like this one burns enough electricity to charge an iPhone 100 times or whatever the hell. It sounds like hyperbole but I think that number is close.

This is how humankind ends. A guy asking a fucking computer to validate his insecurity infinite times. This is how ai ultimately destroys us.

jfc I just noticed the account name 🤦

Classy. It's funny they're trying to "reach AGI" with all this shit but they code the bots with the equivalent of Jordan Peterson's take on how emotionality is a sickness. Well plaid (SIC).

I've used wi-fi calling fairly extensively mostly because I've lived in areas where there was zero cell service but ready access to internet (via Starlink or other wireless forms of it). One thing I do know is that my phone co. requests that I fill out a form specifying where I am living currently (whilst using it) so that if I ever need to contact emergency services they'll have a better idea of where to route the call to. For instance my phone number originates from Western BC but I could potentially be using wi-fi calling from anywhere in the province. I mention this to say, it appears my telco doesn't have a way to triangulate me with this service.

I can further attest that wi-fi call & text reception still works fine when I have a VPN running on the router that my mobile device is connecting to. Make of that information what you wish.

Though that I have read that wi-fi calling is atrocious for privacy reasons that I have not followed up on. Given the above I'm not sure how or why that would be the case, but basically if I'm in an area with cell coverage I turn it off. I've always meant to look deeper into how or why it might be bad (or worse) in some way.

Can't recommend this game enough.

I'm happy they did it. But I'm also questioning how much difference it'll make in a province taken over by anti-vax paranoia and a whole region of people who more than half believe things life safe-use sites and safer-supply and harm reduction are a scam of some kind, in the face of the tainted opiate crisis that has been raging for a couple decades already. Hundreds of doctors have already been screaming about that.

TL:DR I don't believe the wider population gives a flying fuck what doctors have to say at this point. I wish it wasn't true, but it seems pretty obvious by now.

It's fucked that natpo takes an objectively good thing and tries to stoke fear with it. Oh no! Whatever will we do without cdn companies profiting off of slave labor!

Fuckin anyways.

Adderall is basically chemically identical to meth. The Sacklers are fuckin billionaires for pushing Oxy onto tens of millions of people (who later had to go to the streets for fent and smack to avoid becoming dope sick if they couldn't ween off successfully). It's time to stop leaning into this bullshit drug-war rhetoric that was already de-humanizing long before benzo-dope and fentanyl etc hit the market.

Anyone who opposes medically supervised safer-supply is de facto pro leaving things the way they are, which are illicit drugs being distributed by cartels and gangs at extremely elevated costs to the user, which creates an economic situation that the addicts need to come up with the money to stay unsick by any means necessary.

In most cases the legitimate cost to produce a dose of a given drug is pennies. Street prices reflect all of the greed and logistics of smuggling them across several borders to get them into the hands of users. And those costs don't take into account all of the violence and corruption and murder which come into play when cartels and gangs are responsible for those supply routes.

At the very least safer-supply would bring the cost down for end-users and those drugs would be taxed which could be put back into the system, instead of those profits being taken by assholes with zero concern for who lives or dies. I'm saying this with no love for the government but I would way rather go to a doctor than a street dealer (even while I've met lots of dealers who have more empathy than the medical system as a whole). I think that's pretty fucking easy to parse.
