Lol exactly, how dare you have a nuanced opinion!

I thought Twitter's infrastructure was going to collapse within weeks after Musk made all those cuts and changes. I was obviously wrong because Twitter's infrastructure didn't collapse. I'm not speaking to the user experience on Twitter but from a purely infrastructure perspective, Musk was right and I was wrong.

I'm trying to understand how it is different in your eyes. How is the Israeli government's segregation different from the Apartheid South African government's segregation? Obviously you see a distinction but it's not obvious to myself and I want to understand your perspective.

Righto, get a lawyer to fly your plane 🤣 Qualifications and knowledge of science are obviously relative here

I made two points above. Mary Lou McDonald offered no evidence AND she's not a scientist. Mary Lou McDonald didn't make an argument and provide evidence.

That’s literally an ad hominem fallacy lmao.

This is incorrect. Pointing out that someone is not an expert in a technical field they are discussing is not an ad hominem fallacy. That's a ridiculous idea.

Protip: don't get medical advice from lawyers

Mary Lou McDonald is a lawyer from an anti-pesticide charity, not a scientist.

The term "science-based process" is directly from the "Government of Canada moves forward on commitments to strengthen the pesticide review process" press release. I don't believe in anti-science conspiracy theories. If there are issues with the data being used to make these decisions then that should be addressed but there is no evidence of that. You quoted the opinion of a trained lawyer from an anti pesticide charity, not a scientist.

I don’t have time to do requests through the freedom of information act and potentially have to fight some bureaucrat because I’m not a journalist

Why do you hold such strong opinions about something about which you are not well-informed?

edit: also, we need more citizen journalist to help fill the void as unfortunately local newspapers are disappearing

...instead of this poison laden crap.

The dose makes the poison. They're taking a science-based process to update the maximum residue limit.

...don’t give a damn about us, the planet, or biodiversity.

Significantly more land would have to be allocated to agriculture to produce the same amount of food without pesticides. That's not good for the planet or biodiversity.

What do you consider a nazi?

Is that the next viral Lemmy challenge?

I have toddler and I'm also worried about the influence of advertising algorithms on her. How do you protect your kids when they're at other people's houses, school, etc? Is there a "vaccine" for advertising so that when they are inevitably exposed it's not a shock to their brains? Any advice?
