Any reason why we can’t just change the tax code to make this thing less viable? We disincentive things all the time. Like we can carve out exemptions for situations and things I’m sure but like, this shouldn’t be how to run a society.
Where’s the pro-life people now?
Yeah, I mean I barely understand this federated stuff. To my understanding, each instance has their own rules. I can’t post nudes on my Lemmy.ca to my understanding. I think if there’s an instance that is running “afoul” then the instance I connect with can block the entire instance?
I cancelled a California and New York to see friends that I dearly miss. I told them I’ll meet them on neutral grounds outside instead.
I know the amount of money I’ll be spending is nothing in the grand scheme of things but I’m just not gonna do it.
Like, I think we understood that TV was bad for us. That’s why we tried to restrict advertisements and had these types of controls on shows and stuff because we knew it could be dangerous.
No reason it shouldn’t be on the Internet too. I know the “free” Internet people will hate me, but the ones with the biggest pockets are eroding the foundations of our democracy. Let’s not sit back and just take things as they are.
It seems baloney is accepted informally as the meat as well (at least according to Wikipedia).
I feel the spirit of Luigi when I hear these stories.
Ontario will rip up its $100-million deal with Elon Musk’s Starlink internet provider and U.S. companies will be banned from procurement contracts as part of the province’s response to President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods.
I probably want a follow-up when this is confirmed.
I want rural Ontarians and all Canadians to have good Internet, but I would like it to be without enriching someone cosplaying as a bond villain trying to overthrow the world.
I’ve heard mixed stuff, like some people saying it’s plastic and stuff and only serviceable via Tesla if things go wrong?
Others I know have driven it for years and have been happy except the whole Musk shit which leads to your point. (excluding Cybertruck, I don’t know anyone that drives a Cybertruck).
Yeah, I mean people like to get into a position of power and foment vaccine hesitancy and we’re supposed to praise him?
Fuck him. I’ll praise him when he goes comes back fully. This ten steps back and one step forward bullshit? Fuck that.
The noise it makes is unbearable to me.
I signed up for Sync! I can start migrating off of Google Drive.
I’m skipping Walmart for Longos. I used to go McDs once a week (when I’m lazy), I’ll be going to some real family restaurants instead.
Instead of BestBuy, I’ll go Canada Computers
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good everyone!
I feel a lot of people do a lot to justify stupid behaviour. “Saving is too hard” or “exercise is too hard”. There’s legit reasons to not be able to save, or exercise or being able to vote 🤨.
However there’s a lot of bullshit that people were spouting. It’s either a coordinated campaign or just dumb shit. What annoys me is everyone piling on Joe and then they did what people wanted and swapped to Kamala and they’re still upset that the Dems “don’t listen”. Whatever, they’re all full of it.
I fucking hate the Democrats but you have to be completely psycho to justify not-voting for them.
To be clear, I’m Canadian and I’m directly impacted by this now. So fuck all of those people.
Yeah, they probably think, well the right is doing so well so that’s probably what the country wants. We need to move further right!
Boss makes a thousand
I make a penny
So I say, “fuck work”
I’ll spend time on Lemmy
Their God emperor was wearing a mask and taking vaccine shots behind the scenes. He then tells them the opposite.
I even have trouble believing the people that “converted back”. I just think if things change for them and time passes they’ll go back to being Republicans or MAGA.
