Ugh, an ad-block force wall. No visit.

I am not excusing anybody, I am just tired of the blatant propaganda with zero reliable sources.

What you describe is horrible, and also it is simply not real, but entirely the result of your imagination. No source claims any of this the way you describe it.

In fact the latest reports describe two separate events, one where the stampede occurred, with no IDF involvement, and another event where there was a shooting at a check point. There is NO way to know what exactly happened from behind the keyboard. At this point all your claims are only the reflection of your beliefs, and nothing more.

That’s not the description of a stampede which would result in killing 100+ people, even if true.

We will probably never know exactly what happened, as we only have IDF- and Hamas-controlled reporting of it, both obviously heavily skewed.

But the claim that this is Israeli military simply shooting to murder 100+ people is to say the least obviously unsubstantiated.

A stampede caused by Israel forces opening fire on the crowd.

It is not helpful that you just made that up on the spot. Not even close to what you linked to, or what both sides claim.

This is grossly misleading reporting.

The deaths were caused by a stampede. Very small number of people were fired on after approaching a military checkpoint and after warning fires.

Still a tragedy, but nothing like what the title makes it out to be.

“/s” perhaps?

LLMs are really crappy at writing books right now.

However there is zero evidence they will not get better, in fact they are getting exponentially better all the time at all tasks which are getting measured.

My bet is on LLMs soon being able to put out mediocre fiction, and then not much later great fiction, indistinguishable from the best authors out there.

When you have 100+ feeds you really want to avoid reading twice the same entry. It’s the single most important feature in an RSS reader for me.

That’s exactly what USA are trying to do, minding their own business.

It’s a law directly impacting all businesses operating in Quebec.

I have different experience with Vivaldi, been using it for years, and it’s amazing.

WTH kind of a word sallad is this shit

I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m absolutely with you that there should be places for supervised drug consumption, as well as safe supply.

I just don’t understand how restricting drug use on playgrounds harms anybody, it’s got only positives that I can see. I would even go as far as saying that allowing drug use on playgrounds is harmful to drug users, because it encourages conflict with the public.

But I don’t think we are discussing criminalizing drug use at all. Criminal records for drug use is not part of this act amendment, like not at all.

The NDP act amendment, which got suspended, is a project to restrict the drug use in some places, by directing police to approach the drug users, ask them to move elsewhere, and make sure they do. That’s it, that’s all there is, there’s no jail and no criminal record involved.

As for the argument that barring playgrounds the only place left to do drugs is jail, that’s just not serious, they occupy a very small part of the public space.

This seems to be an argument to forcibly allow drug consumption absolutely anywhere. Schools, pools, restaurants, in the middle of the mall, etc.

This doesn’t seem like a reasonable argument to me, there are and there should be limits to where open drug consumption should be considered welcome. The question is why do we now decide to explicitly include children playgrounds in the list of those places, it’s entirely illogical.

A bit misleading title of this article, the judge did not rule that the act is unconstitutional, instead they ruled that there are enough serious issues with it to suspend it until those issues can be tried.

IANAL but the injunction seems to be granted mostly because of the OD crisis, which is a worsening public health emergency, i.e. the risks of keeping the act in effect, before it is tried, are too great.

I don’t get it, why is asking people to consume away from very specific places, like playgrounds, considered pushing them to the fringes?

Reading the article consuming is already prohibited (AND deemed constitutional and good policy), on school grounds, how is a playground any different?
