Looks like the second one is loosely attached, and meant to be stored away as a replacement

Looks cool, you should definitely build the community the way you want to!

It’s sometimes easier to build up an existing community that already has a number of subscribers but could use more love and attention. Of course you can also cross post to and from that other community if you’d prefer to grow a new one.

In this case, I’m thinking of [email protected]. If you wanted to, you could reach out and offer to help moderate

Lol yes, posted this immediately afterwards, here is a link to it

Scientists estimate that up to 70% of the sand on white sandy beaches in the Caribbean and Hawai‘i has been excreted by parrotfish. A large adult parrotfish can excrete over a ton of sand per year. Areas that have parrotfish produce more sand than similar areas with few or no parrotfish. This sediment production rate is especially important in areas like Hawai‘i, where there is little terrestrial input, and almost all of the sand is of biogenic origin.

Here is a more substantial discussion about the whole thing. I’ve pulled some excerpts, but the original article has the citations and links

https://theconversation.com/we-fact-checked-residential-school-denialists-and-debunked-their-mass-grave-hoax-theory-213435

Commentators circulating allegations of a “hoax” contend journalists have misrepresented news of the potential unmarked graves, circulating sensational, attention-grabbing headlines and using the term “mass grave” to do so. They also contend some First Nations, activists or politicians used this language for political gain — to shock and guilt Canadians into caring about Indigenous Peoples and reconciliation.

Like the councillor in P.E.I., many people — in Canada and internationally, fuelled partly by misinformation from the far-right — are accepting and promoting the “mass grave hoax” narrative and casting doubt on the searches for missing children and unmarked burials being undertaken by First Nations across Canada.

What did Canadian news outlets actually report after the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation made their public announcements about their search for missing children?

To find out, we analyzed 386 news articles across five Canadian media outlets (CBC, National Post, the Globe and Mail, Toronto Star and The Canadian Press) released between May 27 and Oct. 15, 2021.

What we found, according to our evidence from 2021, is that most mainstream media did not use the terminology “mass graves.” Therefore, we argue that the “mass grave hoax” needs to be understood as residential school denialism.

After some public confusion over the specific details of the May 2021 Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation announcement, which named “preliminary findings” regarding “the remains of 215 children,” the First Nation clarified the findings as the confirmation of “the likely presence of children, L’Estcwicwéý (the Missing) on the Kamloops Indian Residential School grounds” in “unmarked burials.”

The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation had already identified 51 student deaths at the Kamloops school using church and state records.

Of the 386 articles reviewed in our study, the majority of the articles (65 per cent, or 251) accurately reported on stories related to the location of potential unmarked graves in Canada.

A minority (35 per cent or 135 articles), contained some inaccurate or misleading reporting; however, many of the detected inaccuracies are easily understood as mistakes and most were corrected over time as is common practice in breaking news within the journalism industry.

Of the 386 total articles, only 25 — just 6.5 per cent of total articles — referred to the findings as “mass graves,” with most of the articles appearing in a short window of time and some actually using the term correctly in the hypothetical sense (that mass graves may still be found).

That means that 93.5 per cent of the Canadian articles released in the spring, summer and fall of 2021 that we examined did not report the findings as being “mass graves.”

It appears that some journalists and commentators misunderstood a large number of potential or likely unmarked graves for mass graves in late May/June 2021. By September, denialists were misrepresenting the extent of media errors to push the conspiratorial “mass grave hoax” narrative online.

Our research shows that the “mass grave hoax” narrative hinges on a misrepresentation of how Canadian journalists reported on the identification of potential unmarked graves at former residential school sites in 2021. And we hope our report sparks a national conversation about how important language is when covering this issue.

Media needs to be precise with language and also acknowledge its errors (and avoid future ones), or clarify details in a way that feeds truth, empathy and more accurate reporting — not denialism, hate and conspiracy.

There is also this:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamloops_Indian_Residential_School

Preliminary findings announced in May 2021 by the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc suggested that 215 graves could exist at the site. The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation had officially documented 51 students who died at the school.[46] Their dates of death range from 1919 until 1971.[46] In July 2021, Beaulieu revised her estimate to 200 and noted that they should be considered “probable burials” or “targets of interest”, and said that only with an excavation could they be confirmed as human remains.[6] Beaulieu also noted that the apple orchard she surveyed constituted only two acres of the 160-acre residential school site.

Man, you guys really get upset and uncivil just because somebody said they don’t like tattoos

No, the downvotes are because you said

I’m honestly ok with this

It’s fine to not like tattoos. Other people in this thread have also said that they also don’t like tattoos, but they’re not being downvoted. You’re the one arguing in bad faith here.

There’s always been healthy discussion online about people not liking tattoos, regretting a particular one, discussing the costs of removal, and discouraging others. There’s no conspiracy pushing for one side over the other. What people do agree on is that detention based on the presence of tattoos alone, is wrong.

What is this little guy, is that a vole?

Hi, this post is being reported.

Can you include a comment about the article, how it is relevant to the community to kick off some more discussion? I would do it myself, and I see that it relates to our election, but since you’re the author it would be better coming from you. Thank you!

I’m good with that too. A pinned post and sidebar list should help people know where to share content.

Since there are many great answers already, thinking of other different ideas

Does shaking the box help? In which case it’s possible something separated

What do you think “15 minute city” refers to?

Since it sounds like you think it’s this

Celestini explained that the conspiracy theory behind 15-minute cities is that it’s a form of government take-over.

People are fearful of a scenario where people would have digital identifications on them and would be forced to stay within a 15-minute radius around their homes, and that if people traveled beyond those boundaries, they would be tracked and targeted in different ways.

It isn’t. No one is trying to do that.

I know it’s super expensive, but if I had to guess thats based on population?

This depends a lot on location. Some parts of Vancouver/ Toronto are expensive, some cities are cheaper

2. I’ve got 12 years experience doing software development, Devops, system engineering, device engineering, with a BA in Computer Engineering. Are there certain companies to avoid? Certain companies/locations to check out? Salary isn’t nearly as important as being able to afford living.

I’ll wait for someone else to answer this.

I know some French and I am working on more. Is this helpful?

It could be helpful for roles in or adjacent to government, but it’s not required for most jobs and especially in tech. If you live in a French speaking region, then it will be helpful for day to day life

Also, I need a bit of a kickstart to understanding the political landscape. We’ll start with I’m pro-choice, an Ally, anti-gun, support democracy and love the ranked choice system, and subsidized healthcare. Taxes and the government work for the people.

Here are the positions of each of the federal parties on some key issues this election.

It might also help to know how our government is structured

5. Work commutes? I’ve done hour long commutes, I’ve done bus commutes, Ive walked to work, driven, and remote, just need to know what to expect.

It depends on the city and where you work. Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal have decent public transit

6. I already say sorry for everything, any other cultural norms I should know about?

You sound reasonable and so I wouldn’t worry.

For what it’s worth, you’ll sometimes hear people compare America’s “melting pot” to Canada’s “mixed salad” or “patchwork quilt”. How true that is in practice is up for discussion, but the idea is that Canada has many parts coming together to make a whole, while still being distinguishable by the unique elements. There isn’t the expectation for newcomers to shed their old culture and become purely " “Canadian” ".

This post was reported for potential astroturfing, likely because of the very long name (and the broken about page)

It looks like a real organization:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/gun-regulations-domestic-violence-1.7311594

Others who have endorsed the recommendations include gun-control advocates PolySeSouvient, Canadian Doctors for Protection from Guns,

Bulleted lists, a weird positive tone, unnecessarily professional, a summary or “but you should check with an authority figure” sentence at the end

I wasn’t sure which article to link, there are many opinion articles with their own takes on it

I agree, at our current moderation capacity it would lead to inconsistent moderation and arguments about where the ‘quality threshold’ is

Encouraging people to post better quality sources through comments might be better than fully restricting the posts?
