Microsoft has now fired the employees who publicly protested the company supplying AI tech to the Israeli military

Ok, so this post was reported as non-gaming.

I will admit it's not exactly gaming related, so I will agree to that point, however I believe its important enough to leave up.

Not like anyone cares, but I don't always go by reports, I also look at votes, and replies. Seems like most of the folks are interested in this, so unless I get major pushback, I'm gonna leave it up. I don't think I've ever said what or why I remove or leave up a post but today I feel the need to let you know the reason. And to anyone who did report, dont take this comment as a hint or feel like its a personal attack. Y'all keep reporting when you feel like it, I wouldn't have even looked at this post without the report, so it at least got eyes on it. I like to leave the community to itself, its a great community and I rarely get reports. For one of the biggest/bigger communities on lemmy.ca we get very little reports.

either you are paid by google to make accounts seem like real people behind them, and spread propaganda for google, or you are a young kid who has yet to grasp the reality of what google is telling you they do vs what they actually do.

Do you think the tobacco producers are spouting how great their product is at giving folks cancer? you must be too young to remember cigarette ads, and how 9 out of 10 Dr.'s recommend a particular brand of smokes.

Google wants your information, they want to sell you shit, that is all. They will make it easier to get that data, and easier to buy from them, but dont for one second think they give one ounce of a shit about you, or your life as long as you stay on their platform and spend money on them

I hate that I am become this person but: are delivery drivers just allowed to call and say 'please come and meet me' now?

I delivered food many many man....you get the idea, years ago, long before the delivery apps, and even before the interwebs. The short answer is: No, we/they are not supposed to do that.

I cannot be sure, as I quit because of asshats who cheat the system and screw over the customer. I understand why they do it, we stopped making money once the apps came into existence. Back in the day, I made $300+ after expenses on Valentine's Day, and now it be a good night if I made $100 before expenses. However the jerks will run multiple phones, accounts, and apps, at once. So they will pick up your order, head to McD's to wait for the order to be ready. Stop to deliver it, and if there is another pickup on the way to your house, guess what, they are stopping. They call you because it can/will/might save them a minute or two, added up over the night, that could amount to a couple extra deliveries.

Again, I'm only assuming by what I've seen on the other side of the app and the asshat drivers who have taken over, and I do NOT condone that practice at all.

Do birds get fat in fall?

im a bit of a bird nerd here, and while they do put pack a lot in, its not really fat as you and i would think of it. 90% of what you see is just floof to keep warm.

my b&g macaw will put on a little weight in fall even tho hes a tropical chicken. altho admitly that could just be me feeding him differently/different times, cause of the lack of light through the winter.
