I’m a vegetarian, but I do make cultural exceptions.

drewaustin@piefed.cato Fuck AI@lemmy.world•AI Company Clones Musician’s Voice, Then Copyright-Strikes Her Own SongsEnglish226·3 days agoStrangely, this post doesn’t really have anything to do with AI per-se. The exact same exploit is actively being exploited on YouTube and music streaming services without AI. AI is just a boogeyman feature of the exploit in this case and doesn’t really seemed to have played any real part in it.
drewaustin@piefed.cato Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•Punish the Democrats, she saysEnglish159·6 days agoYeah, Democrats deserve your vote, as long as the republicans are slightly worse!
drewaustin@piefed.cato New Democratic Party@lemmy.ca•First time donating! Will be doubling it next month and making it monthly from there!English11·9 days agoI’ll renew my membership when the party’s executive is purged of the Liberal autocrats. And hey, maybe this time they can an executive that actually listens and works with its grassroots.
Avi as a leader is an excellent first step to reform.
drewaustin@piefed.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•What does bill c9 mean for my Baphomet decal?English5·13 days agoHate speech is not narrowly defined. It is barely defined. C-9 doesn’t even need hate speech.
The proposed amendments in the Bill would create four new criminal offences: (1) an intimidation offence that prohibits conduct that is intended to provoke a state of fear in another person to impede them from accessing religious or cultural institutions and other specified places
Those of us old enough to remember the satanic panic will remember a lot of pearl clutching christians who can easily be provoked to a state of fear that would impede them from accessing religious or cultural institutions and other specified places.
Whether someone intended to provoke such pearl clutching is a matter of interpretation. And pearl clutters have a proven track record of getting interpretations in their favour - no matter how much evidence indicates otherwise.
drewaustin@piefed.cato Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Justice is a luxury the poor can’t afford and the rich pay to evade.English6·15 days agoYep 100%
Become the conductor of the choir.
You could also call it logic.
Or empathy.
Or heck just contrarianism.
Lots of room on the anti-capitalism bus.
drewaustin@piefed.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Canadian mother and daughter ‘traumatized’ by ICE detainment, husband saysEnglish9·20 days agoSorry, this is a failure of compassion on my part. But it’s like a real life reenactment of Niemöller‘s “First they came”
drewaustin@piefed.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Canadian mother and daughter ‘traumatized’ by ICE detainment, husband saysEnglish10·20 days agoThey are detaining white people? NOW THEY’VE GONE TOO FAR!
drewaustin@piefed.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•EXPLAINED: What is Doug Ford Covering Up?English13·21 days agoThis lady is a shill for Israel.
That is much more succinct.
I’m trying to work out the logic in the meme. It seems like it argues against itself somewhat.
A requires B to function
Divided C lowers difficulty of exploitation C. The two lines seems to imply the that exploiting C is required for the functioning of B.
Having something easier does not normally indicate it is a requirement. Typically tha is especially so if there are multiple ways to make something easier.
This meme seems lazy in its argument. But then I’m very very far from a logician.
drewaustin@piefed.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Petition to Make Residential School Denialism IllegalEnglish81·22 days agoLet me get this straight: So we want to entrust the institutions committing residential school denialism with the power to throw people in jail for residential school denialism?
How about we make the law shield people who punch the perpetrators of residential school denialism in the face instead.
drewaustin@piefed.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Policy change promised after Conception Bay South family says their expropriated property was later resoldEnglish5·22 days agoJust basic decency, compassion, and respect are so very much lacking in most of Canada’s levels of government.
We slip further and further into petty authoritarian states ruled by government buerocrats.
drewaustin@piefed.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you know the place where you've pooped the most in your life?English12·25 days agoMy pants.
What? No. A step would be collecting data on the whereboats of CEOs , gathering information on their movements, securing arms, making contacts, etc. Jumping immediately to the murder of hundreds of thousands is far, far, far from a first step.
I’m not sure this comes even close to the most responsible course of action.

I’m not sure what this has to do with Canada. Though if someone wants to do that here as a copycat, then I guess it would be related.
