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

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.

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).

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.

I was just over there by accident (not logged in) and yes they had the mega thread but literally every other post on that front page was about it. And many of them were not left leaning at all.

ACHABB

Do you drink too much because everything’s super fucked though?

Damn this is how I found out. Extra sad now, thanks.
