I bet you're a double dipper.

This is misinformation.

However, the number listed, 1-877-330-6366, does not connect to a Canadian government service. It connects to Trans Lifeline, a nonprofit, peer-led support line that has served both American and Canadian transgender people since 2014. No new Canadian hotline has been created for LGBTQ+ Americans.

It doesn't say it in this article, but it was triggered by a 15-year-old going for help.

A few red flags. It's a bible camp, it acts as a "rehab" centre, it has a message on its website in the chin language from Myanmar (interesting for the trafficking part.)

But... Maybe this one isn't actually that bad?

Looks a bit like a seal skull to me.

Edit: maybe a South American sea lion

Haven't been able to try another device, but it happens with catbox.moe as well as imgur: https://lemmy.ml/post/31389707

When I go to the gifs community on Sh.itjust.works the ones hosted directly seem to work, but the ones on imgur don't.

"Uhh, I was just saying hi, I didn't want your life story."

Or, to fit with the theme...

"Uh sir, this is a Wendy's."

There's only one article on this site and then some "Lorem ipsum" text. A bit of a sus source.

I used to have a Dell stick PC that I traveled with to hook up to TV's in hotels and apartments to stream Netfli, youtube, plex, etc. Worked great for its size and I would hook up a mini wireless mouse and keyboard to control it.

Look up Stick PC or PC on a stick. You can get windows or Linux variants and I imagine you can change the OS if you work at it.

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.

League ‘hopeful’ to add 2nd expansion team ahead of next season

The Professional Women's Hockey League will expand to Vancouver and begin play next season, the league announced on Wednesday.

The decision to expand to Vancouver had been rumoured for weeks, and was finally confirmed at a press conference in downtown Vancouver on Wednesday morning. The official announcement was made by a local under-11 girls' hockey team. The girls crowded around a podium, waving signs to show how badly they wanted Vancouver to get a PWHL team, before announcing the news.

Vancouver was chosen as the seventh PWHL franchise after an eight-month process that saw expansion bids from groups in more than 20 cities.

A deeper look into Canada's long-standing high tariffs on certain US imports and why they don't actually apply to most current trade.

"If the countries took a true approach to reciprocating tariffs, then the US would simply copy Canada's tariff quota, which would mean that neither country would pay any more based on current trade balances"

 

Nothing says "classy" like flying that flag.

Good L🍁ck Trudeau! (But also, don't let the door hit you on the way out...)

A woman from Dunfermline has spoken of her shock after an Apple voice-to-text service mistakenly inserted a reference to sex - and an apparent insult - into a message left by a garage.

~The is what Mrs Littlejohn saw on the voicemail screen in the Phone app on her iPhone after receiving a voicemail from the garage.~

 

Would it be antithetical? Would it help them push the agenda? Could it be an end game?
