I’m Canadian, but I think after next year I’ll be on our own track, only with a slightly smaller and less effective train

Ooooh like the Winnie the Pooh shit that really got in that guy’s head. I’m into it.

Look maybe they’ll go the Canadian way of reeducation and integration instead. That works super well I’m told. I’m also told it definitely doesn’t count as genocide so they’ll be all clear. Great plan.

/s in case that’s not terribly obvious

Happens in Canada too, only we actually have multiple parties. but the left sides tend to split the vote more whereas the right manages to have less splintering and usually will back one of the major conservative parties. It sucks honestly but I’m okay with it because at least I don’t feel my vote is wasted when I vote for an alternative.

Isn’t there something about the president having to be American born too? Keanu was born in Lebanon and is Canadian. I think he probably has dual citizenship with the states but it sounds complicated…

Also holy smokes he is 60???

Ok just hurry up and get your citizenship so you can help us vote against the guy who’s trying to be like Trump, thnx.

Clearly not only cis white men voted for him though. And those people are definitely going to be hurt, and I’m sorry to say but they will fucking deserve it.

Idk if this is an effective life hack but I’ve seen a few instances where just appealing makes things go away (whether they were warranted or not).

Just last week I had a friend appeal a ticket just because he didn’t realize it was paid parking, they let him go as a first time incident.

My partner has appealed 3 tickets on separate occasions and gotten away pretty scot free (twice, a typo on the ticket and once the cop showed up to the appeal and told him to donate some money to charity in lieu of forcing him to pay the ticket). Most of the time it’s more effort for them to fight you on it, so you might as well try ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I thought they just meant because it’s paid parking not that they didn’t know how to park. Many jobs I’ve had have paid parking, which is bonkers to think you’re paying to be at work but such is capitalism.

Yeah my first thought seeing this was “oh that person is gonna get killed if they send the cops”. Glad you had some smarts there. There have been multiple indigenous people killed in wellness checks in Canada as well in recent weeks.

Never shoes, baby

I’m not vegan or vegetarian anymore because I have a lot of allergies that prevent me from eating plant based anything. But I also try to limit it to locally and ethically harvested when I do eat meat.

I identify as agnostic and definitely don’t believe that any one living being is better or more special than the others (except maybe cats).

Yeah my sister went to India a few years back by herself and while thankfully nothing terrible happened to her, she said she would never go back. Just walking around she said the streets are majority men and they are not shy about staring at any woman (especially someone who was clearly a foreigner). Of course, parts of the trip were cool but definitely not the place to be travelling alone as a woman.

This is unironically one of my favourite questions to ask new friends. I’ve gotten a variety of answers, but my own response has always been yes, if the person was healthy and had clearly consented.

In my opinion, cannibalism is bad for two main reasons, 1) it can be unsafe if the person was ill, the meat has spoiled, or if it’s done too often (this has been studied in cannibalistic rituals) and 2) it’s unethical if the person doesn’t consent to it.

Eating animal meat is non consensual and there can be diseases in there too - many people have died from it. Just because it’s more socially acceptable, I don’t really see it as an ethically better decision.

I would 100% at least try my own home grown meat cells.

This is absolutely not true.

Sometimes it’s a very mediocre $8 taco.

Got destroyed by mosquitos today. Feel you.

Can I do the lobbying thing to get a nice human rights or climate law passed or is 100M still too poor for that

I would spend all 100M to get ads put up all over the country of people who have wronged me and my loved ones. They’ll just be like really awful pictures of them with really petty captions like “doesn’t help carry suitcases”, “laughed at a disabled person”, “sneezed too loud that one time”. That’ll show them.

Glad I’m not the only one! I am extra old and use my Hotmail too…

Damn this morning I wished so hard my company was in the affected group. Alas, we all still had to work.
