Is this some Lemmy drama shit I don't know about?

I unsubbed after the convoy thing, but I didn't know about the other bit or I would have blocked him earlier.

Youtube has a feature to ABC test different thumbnails to test which one will be the most popular. You might see one or all of them depending on whether you click right away. Eventually the channel will choose the most successful one.

Yup, dropped him when he came out in support of the convoy and then got annoyed when people told him to stfu.

Sadly he's gained back and surpassed his subscriber numbers since the big drop around that time.

Sometimes you see almost that when css hasn't loaded. Maybe you can turn off css in browser settings, site settings, or dev tools in the browser.

Ah got it. I didn't see the references section as it was collapsed.

It specifically says bestiality involves an "animal" not "a depiction of an animal". So unless you're saying furries are actually doing things with real animals, I think you're putting too much weight on the "visual representation" part of the wording.

The Department of Justice's rationale is that it is "online sextortion" [2], and that it is known to be used to manipulate children for sexual purposes

None of what you quoted from the bill says that. Where are you getting this from?

I'm not sure what you mean but there are a couple of options including "Show collapsed comment" in the settings. Have you tried changing that?

Yeah, but I think I would prefer that to giving a border guard an excuse...

Edit: or I guess it could accidentally go through the washer.

I saw that too and found it very surprising. Even Canadian border guards might give you a hard time for that damage.

"If you damage your passport, apply for a new one. A damaged passport can lead to long delays at passport checkpoints. You may also be unable to cross the border or board a plane."

Edit: thinking about this some more... They buried the lede on this. This is the real headline here. Service Canada needs to replace damaged passports, full stop. If they won't, turn around and say, "oops, I lost my passport! I need a new one, thanks!"

 

As opposed to "It tastes awful. And it works."

I saw an ad for it tonight and the "And" completely threw me. I could have sworn it was always "but"...

Byline:

Linda Royle says airline initially wouldn't compensate because she can't prove ownership of missing items

Excerpt:

When Linda Royle opened up her returned carry-on suitcase, she was disgusted to find not only her personal possessions missing, but several items — like two toiletry bags, a ticket scanner and a knife — were now in her bag.

Air Canada initially refused to compensate the Newfoundland woman, but told CBC News in a statement Thursday that it had looked at her case again and would contact Royle to "finalize her claim."

In an email, which CBC News has reviewed, Royle was told by baggage claims representative Dana Esteban on July 5 that because Royle didn't have receipts for the items she claimed were missing, Esteban couldn't confirm she owned the items.

CBC News asked Air Canada for an interview about Royle's case. An unidentified spokesperson replied to that request, asking for more details.

Two days after the CBC News request, Royle was contacted by a company representative who said her case had been further reviewed.

In a statement to CBC News on Thursday, Air Canada said it requires customers to provide claims, through receipts, for items valued above $350.

"Our baggage claims team re-looked at this case and found that the individual items being claimed were under the threshold," it said.

The spokesperson then told CBC News over email its security team is reviewing Royle's case.

In my feed, when I see posts like https://lemmy.world/post/30432101 that are embedded image links (maybe?), when I click on the thumbnail it doesn't work, but clicking on the title to go to the post, it does.

Thumbnail click gives this and doesn't play:

Title click gives this and plays properly:

This has been happening for a little while now (days? weeks?) but I haven't tried narrowing down specifics. I'll update if I find non-i.imgur.com posts with the same issue.

Edit to add: Android, I think Edge is the embedded browser.
