They've used this to try and schedule meetings with Trump when he's the most agreeable and focused.

After 6 months you'd have enough to retire to Vietnam. Another 6 and you'd have enough to pay yourself a low salary forever.

Another 6 and you'd fund a small house in a smaller town where you can retire, and another 6 and you'd be dead from stress.

Hmm. Show me it can treat calcaneal growth and I'm in!

Can Canada get back down to a c$600k average home price? ** Cries in Vancouverish **

It sounds like there was a reasonable bit of doubt there. Are we set up to handle that in our system ?

Talk to this guy:

Lower_lifted and every Lemmy user causes climate change. Yep. you’re complicit if you use servers that are powered by fossil fuels as most do.

That's where the debate changed to be about Lemmy servers using too much electricity.

Lemmy.ca is probably powered by waterfalls anyway.

Except,

If it isn’t being done in Canada and we are relying on someone else for it, we should be on that

and

anything we can do on our own we should be doing on our own

don't mean the same thing. The former is "everything we're not doing" and the latter is "everything we're not doing but can."

At least the light is bright from the gas.

Canada doesn't need its own payment system.

The EU does and we'll just be compatible. That's best.

Base it all on the euro just to kickstart the greenback's tumble from international relevance.

I can't do AppleTV. Quitting them after Ted Lasso was an ordeal for someone who has no other apple device except earpods. Never going back. And no they can't send me another goddamned code.

But that's a good idea : I wonder if our Crave or just Prime would have it.

You need a VPN to hide who is on USENet, I bet.

It's a nice town. But it's so small you could almost miss it as you drove through.

Their goal is profit.

If we wanted a non-profit we could lightly steer as a populace to ensure it's modern and safe while remaining its most affordable, we would have brought it in as an arms-length crown corp.

We still can, if we wanted that, but we have to understand the realization of delayed or skipped maintenance on infrastructure and the huge costs we have to support to bring it back into line publicly if we do. The gov can't half-ass anything without blowback.

Big font is because the people who need to read it the most - me - often overlook it.

I'm glad for it. I'm grateful the warning exists so I know I'm not debating actual news.

I'm just sad we lost him before he got a chance to really grow up.

Abortion is more complicated, but opponents would argue there's another life at stake, so from their moral framework, it's not purely personal either.

This is another issue I'm surprised we're still even debating.

Some here are being rude instead of engaging in better conversation.

People are tired. People still hold the feelings of frustration over the needless deaths, life-altering conditions and overworked medical staff who quit over the workload and aggressive and violent patients -- all of it needless, all of it prolonged needlessly by the ignorant people whose personal importance overshadowed their community obligations and risked the 1:1000000 with actual issues and others who needed to rely on 'herd' immunity.

You know this. You saw this. You MUST understand this. Some of us lost friends and family, and in the last months of it we knew those lost would have been safe if the ignorant gits actually took their medicine. We hear the logic of the anti-vaxxer, we hear how it sounds like a drunk driver saying "but I need to drive home", and we see anti-vaxxers who avoided the single most tested set of vaccines as the same as those negligent, homicidal drunks.

We're not rude intentionally. We're frustrated and tired at explaining something as simple as "trees are wood" to people retorting with "needles are scary so let the others die". We're annoyed we had to say it twice, let alone all the hundred of times after. And now someone says "but I'm important and I know more than doctors" and we aren't at our best in that moment.

But how is "I see the point of anti-vax narcissists" not just trolling by now?

There's probably a parrot older than that, somewhere.

And there it will stay, until fucking Autumn.

Sorry, the issue is size? Like, "we can't fit into these clothes so we're gonna go Jabba the Hut", all naked and corpulent?

Having illiterate people copy-editing at Newsweek is a bold move.
