Honestly thank you I'm starting to get old and cranky about the acronym issue.

Ok what the fuck is SM sadomasochism? Cause I read the article checked the thread and there are no definitions or context clues...

Now a large portion of the audience will read your comments coming with my flawed conclusions. And it's at least somewhat funny

Define acronyms For Fucks Sake (FFS)

Umm I hate to point this out but Canada has never operated F-16s. Perhaps some wire got crossed here and they ment F-18s ( Canadians operate a variant of those) or perhaps they mean training in the training plan where they train new pilots In Harvard2s and hawks to prepare for first flights in the f16.

Yea this guy is the hero of the thread, I would have just not bothered with the article if it wasn't for you pointing that line out

In my defense this is what i see on the first page,

then its

then its

but yes you are right it appears close after the eventual headline. i missed that and i probably was annoyed by the scrolling to get to the darn article too

Na I'm pretty sure the Boeing issues are due to outsourcing and shifting blame to subcontractors.

Ok define acronyms FFS (for fuck sake)

DEI = diversity, equity, and inclusion. Seeing what the hell is hidden behind the letters makes easier to see what this is about

ah so that priority email i got from bell who got it from CCCS about my personal gitlab server being vulnerable was extraordinary,

BTW if you haven't got it update it it scored a 10 on the CVSS https://www.cyber.gc.ca/en/alerts-advisories/vulnerability-impacting-gitlab-cve-2023-7028

It would be funny if people just sent a letter to their mp every time they accessed those sites something like:

Dear honorable insert MP name

In advance of bill S-210 I am writing to inform you of my internet usage habits what follows is a list of hyperlinks to videos I have accessed today:

  1. ...

I hope this information helps you in determining my sexual interests to aid in your reelection campaign.

No it's not paranoia if they are actually out to get you.

If they are out to get us it's just baffling to me. The internet was originally designed as a communications tool to survive large parts being damaged in the event of a major disaster/attack.

It got hijacked by people first who used it to share less and scientific information and more for the lack of a better word human information. Then corporations came and wanted to extract value from it some how. So we had the Dotcom bubbles and pop-up ads.

Now I don't have the hindsight now to succinctly explain what happened next but then Facebook became a dominant social media platform. And everyone gave them info about themselves contrary to the previous advice about never using your real name on the internet.

Now we have governments world wide actively trying to police porn a good 50 years after it existed on the internet. 20 years since it was freely and widely available as streaming video? What's the goal trying to tax free porn somehow?

I think the genie is out of the bottle at this point.

It's wild because back in the day they told us don't let anyone know your real name or where you live if you can help it. Now it's let's see your driver's license to verify you before you can look at cat videos...

But how much of this is actually new trying to build a world order and how much is just ignorance in the capabilities of the technology of the members of the Senate and House of Commons

Ok I don't understand this push to block porn at a country wide level.

Who wants this and why?

I honestly don't see why. Most to the time they tell you follow the money but I can't think how blocking porn helps anyone but VPN providers, and old school porno mag and video publishers.

Maybe this is a fundamentalist puritanical thing? But how is it getting such wide support? Are there that many but hurt virgins in the Senate and House of Commons?

Argh so many questions and this feels so absurd.
