I always respected that Canada is open to almost everyone…
Except if you have a DUI
I knew a lady that was a Canadian citizen but lived and worked in Seattle. She got a DUI and they won’t let her go back into Canada until she completes the long and expensive process that they require for DUI offenders.
until she completes the long and expensive process that they require for DUI offenders.
Sounds like there’s a path to forgiveness, it’s just not cheap or easy. Which, why should it be? She drove under the influence and could have killed someone.
I always figured it was a good line in the sand telling some Americans, they are not welcome
drunk driving is serious and I respect that they treat it as such
Looking at their rules for it, it actually seems kinda fucked: One bad choice years ago bars you for life unless you are wealthy enough to go through their process and hire lawyers, it's a even crime to try and enter, but that is definitely not a widely known fact, so even though someone might have paid their dues and even been completely sober for years, they're still fucked unless they're well off.
I get wanting to protect people and stop dangerous driving but effectively banning someone for life if they made a mistake and happen to be poor seems a bit unfair. You can bet your ass rich people have all sorts of ways around this that completely circumvent the system anyhow on top of all that.
As usual, it's another regulation that disproportionately affects poor people who are unable to afford proper legal representation to begin with (and are more likely to be falsely convicted of a DUI in the first place).
I read it yesterday and no longer have the link handy. I'm having a hard time believing you spent much earnest effort looking for it if you couldn't find it. I searched for "Canada DUI entry law" and it comes up as the first 5 hits at least.
I'm definitely not going to waste my time continuing to debate you though so you believe whatever you like: Your ignorance is not my responsibility or burden.
Wait, so now you did find it, but refuse to share it…?
You made some pretty bold claims there, and burden of proof is on you. It would be absurd to expect it to work the other way.
At this point it’s pretty clear that you’re just here to spread misinformation.
Wait, so now you did find it, but refuse to share it…?
I think they meant that this happened yesterday. But posting a link would have been way faster than typing two messages about how they don’t want to do it, I think
nobody should be shipped to an El Salvador Gulag for any reason
With this I agree.
I don’t see it implied to be ok, this contradiction of something that is not normal being part of an ‘advertisement’ was what I found funny
Honestly the silver lining with all this is how innately obvious it is what it is currently.
Literally just reeks of the same level of effort as someone making a meme out of clipart or one of those boomers that uses that fancy Facebook status feature.
If you need to generate a hero image to make your witty tweet good enough to share, maybe go back to the drawing board
So these are 2 images I asked AI for, which are admittedly terrible. But beyond that, I’m unsure of the distinguishing features that pegs it as AI. Any guidance (other than never make these images again - for obvious reasons)?
no, I don’t know what you used but this is not what I’m talking about. you can find inconsistencies, colors that don’t make sense, a whole set of issues but that’s AI in general.
what I’m talking about a very specific style that vaguely apes the ligne claire style of comics, adding an old paper filter and completely lacking soul. they can have zero “errors” and still be recognizable because they are so exact and eerily similar in their style. there’s a difference between a person drawing in a particular style and a machine emulating it.
You can see these comics on Lemmy from time to time, although it might be getting less common since it gets negative comments every time. I’m pretty sure they come from one particular comic generator. or possibly multiple that use the same underlying model.
They have the same soulless faces, usually very limited and recognizable facial expressions. i recently saw one with dinosaurs and even they had the exact facial expressions that I’ve seen in other AI slop comics. they also have the same faux lettering font for text.
