Is this man for real? The perils of trying to detect AI use while online dating Sometimes when Nikita Kokal scrolls through a dating app, sheโ€™ll match with someone solely to ask if they used artificial intelligence to craft their profile.

Why is any one surprised?
AI talking to AI.
Humans pretending to be humans. We humans are in so much trouble.๐Ÿ˜”

So when is Canada going to send aid to Cuba? Trump will be building one of his golf course resorts there soon after destroying the country and starving its people.

Have food banks become just a free grocery store?? Food for thought. Before someone comments I understand, agree there are definitely a portion of the population who need help but not proportional to the increase in use. Drive up in a new car after stopping at Starbucks does not constitute need!

What ever happened to people having basic manners and respect. Weโ€™re failing!
- no electronics at the dinner table.
- no leaving the table until all are finished.
- wait for all to sit before starting to eat.
- use utensils not fingers.
- etc
Gone are life fundamentals. No youโ€™re not too busy!!

Watched a few seasons of โ€œStill Standingโ€ on CBC. Worth a watch to better understand small town history. History is the basically the same from coast to coast. We have pushed our manufacturing out of business or off shore. Our push to drive prices down has cost Canadian Manufacturing dearly.๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

I think it would be wrong not to be aware that except for the first and last point all others have and could occur at any time. Always need to be vigilant. Canada is not exempt from craziness.

I donโ€™t really think that there is any news source you can totally trust. I do believe no matter who the source that the Canadian military has been seriously neglected and underfunded to our detriment.
