He’s regressed/aged a lot from what I know. Flashes of his former self at times but slowed down and inconsistent. There was a reason the Blues moved on. I’m actually surprised he got that much term.

God I hope we can stand our ground. We need a domino effect of countries to turn the tide, the first few will always be the hardest though.

Add another ref who sits just off the ice, and is a “video ref” looking at as many screens as he chooses, of the available cameras, and has the power to whistle his own penalties or overturn the penalties from the ref on the ice. There’s no reason to deliberately not use the technology available to us rather than the randomness of whether something happens to get challenged for video review.

Yeah, I’m already a little offput by how lemmy.world seems so dominant.

Sadly I don’t think there is anything Canadian-owned that’s a true alternative. Don’t mind the other disingenuous commenter on here questioning your motive, they evidently think that Walmart is just as good for your community as local mom and pop shops, since they all ‘‘employ canadians’’. I think your alternative would be to simply order directly from whatever Canadian business you can find online selling whatever you’re looking for. Almost all of them still take orders from their own sites and ship Fedex/DHL/CanadaPost etc to almost anywhere. Amazon really is just a convenient middle-man and they’re not purely necessary. Basically a streamlined search function and ordering tool and they’re completely avoidable, it just takes a bit more effort. I think people should absolutely be making efforts to avoid them, because of their ridiculous market share and their precedent of working conditions and wages, if nothing else.

This seems to bounce around the internet with no real legit source to back it up, and when it was posted to a certain website starting with R, there were comments from professionals indicating most of it was complete bullshit.

Not EXCLUSIVELY… but kinda, but even though I’m only 1 (or maybe 2) out of the 3, and a bunch of programming jokes and jargon go over my head, I really don’t mind. And… if you’re going to start with a particular demographic as a core userbase, man oh man could you do worse these days.

Even if it’s just an apocryphal story, it’s at least a crazy-interesting concept that I hadn’t even considered before.

And if you make enough spelling errors, your post essentially encrypts itself! :D

I vote either defederate or ban. Even if it is “technically legal” by the current rules, it goes completely against the spirit and intent of this place, and rules can and should be changed over time to preserve that. Bot/AI generated posts are exactly what we DON’T want this place to turn into, and it will take active effort to avoid that.
