‘Economic destiny’
“This will be an incredibly exciting time as we take control of our economic destiny to create a new Canadian economy,” Carney said.
To this end, he promised to abolish existing trade barriers between Canadian provinces by July 1 to expand the economy, and to strengthen trade with “reliable allies”.
this will be an exciting time indeed; I’m eager to see how this develops and Canada’s economy decouples from the USA’s and flourishes in spite of it
ohh I see the male defaultism everywhere. I am a woman and work in a warehouse, it comes up often when all the folks (another woman in the warehouse with me) are referred to as “guys”. sure, most of the folks are men but still, it’s kinda disrespectful imo. but I saw a super clear example the other day watching a Cody Ko youtube video where Cody was commentating on, like, cringe podcasters or something. but there was a man who was addressing a 4 or 5 person group of only, all women. the male podcaster felt uncomfortable saying “hey women” or something and then chose “hey guys” instead. like, how more egregious can you get? they’re ALL women, and yet you think it’s a-ok to refer to them as “guys”. how hard is it to go to “hey gals” or “hey ladies” 🙄 as an aside, I hate when people say “men and females” like we’re a separate fucking species. I see that shit everywhere on less leftist communities, like reddit. haven’t seen it too much yet on lemmy but it’ll happen eventually as the site gains more users
the pilot doesn’t deserve being gendered? the child, okay I can see having their info private. but “3 women, and child, and the pilot” just seems a lil weird y’know
they’re named as Andres so they’re probably male identifying (edit- the article also uses “he”, so even likelier that they’re male identifying) but still, the women are ID’d by their gender, but the child and pilot by their “role” or age or something. I hope it was a consent thing, the pilot didn’t want to be listed by their gender, but the women were okay with it?
anyway, they couldn’t drink the water they were floating in because of leaking plane fuel contaminating it, but they had some flour to eat so they were in somewhat healthy conditions. quoted as “amazing conditions”, but I think that’s relative to having been deemed missing for those 48hrs
they were extremely fortunate, but still that’s gotta be a mind fuck to be surrounded by human-eating reptiles just lurking in the water outside the contaminated area. don’t fall in! life saving water within arms reach but you can’t get it safely. I’m glad they were airlifted to hospital, they probably needed a rehydration/water IV inserted
yes, that’s an important caveat. we only know what earthy carbon-based life and its signs look like, with dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide being key signs because they’re only made by living organisms on earth. looking for those chemicals is our best chance of identifying extraplanatery life because we dont know what the key identifers are for acarbon-based life. it could be that we have “found” life elsewhere but we just don’t realize because it not something we’re familiar with the data we get
do you know where someone could acquire those higher end products through other channels? some Chinese or other website selling quality products for cheaper than the brands but still for a profit for them?
I don’t think Trump cares about much outside maintaining his social position (being upper class, not going to prison, having media attention).
the nefarious fucks behind him (Putin, Musk, Thiel, etc) are the ones who want take over the world and reshape it into a technofascist dystopia where they have total control
the end result is largely the same, but Trump is just along for the ride as a useful idiot
what in the hell is going on
announce tariffs > market uncertainty > sell off stocks > value goes down > buy the dip > pause tariffs > markets recover > laugh all the way to the bank
or something like that
smell is the sense most strongly linked to memory
