It’s even worse, they literally think they will never need it, so they shouldn’t pay for someone else’s.

Not date them, breed ala handmaids tale

Excellent! When pixelfed was growing I was going to join but abstained as there was no .ca instance yet. On and hoping to be active!

Find me @noveda for occasional bread/baking or dog content haha

It’s comments like this that make me think I don’t have ADHD and I’m just a bit slow.

My therapist says I’m likely ADHD and I align with a lot in this thread, but this description is about 1000% more dramatic than my day to day life. I guess it’s all a spectrum, but I’ve never felt like I’m living in a fog, I’m very very aware of all of the things I’m fucking up, but my mind doesn’t tell my body it’s worth fixing yet.

I never “forget” to finish a task, I remember that task needs to get done every 5 mins after I leave it not finished and it pains me to look at it every time I walk by it. But there are more important things to do. Like scrolling Lemmy or IG.

It’s ok world record is something like 14 iirc, but lowest I’ve been able to score was sub 23

Started my year off with a new computer and a portal speed run! Sub 27 mins with no quick saving was a solid start to the year.

Actually, playing portal on max graphics and getting 60fps was the real solid start 😅

New to the Linux community here; why is a valve owned Linux OS better than any other massive company OS. Like if Microsoft released their own Linux OS, would it be good suddenly?

At the end of the day, we don’t want our OS’s big company owned right?

And then they will blame it on Trudeau and they will believe it.

Cons : we want lower taxes.

Libs: ok tax break?

Cons: not like that! 😡

Federal not provincial.

Obviously this is a vote bribe, just looking at the wording of the press release it’s written for Christian conservatives.

Specifically making Christmas trees part of the tax break?

As someone who is voting left already, I’m just happy to get the tax break. But if this is the thing that causes enough cons to not vote PP, I’ll take the budget cuts.

Under the libs at least we might see things like healthcare and affordable housing.

Hey, that’s pretty neat!

If the product works too well they can’t sell you other stuff! 🥲

I’ve never understood how we haven’t been considered employees as gig workers.

The only difference from a typical job is that you can “turn off” your job when it’s convenient.

You dont get say in the jobs you take, or you don’t get all the information to mislead you into taking poor jobs. Sometimes both (looking at you door dash)

Instacart sends you a t4a at the end of the year, and you are for tax purposes considered to have worked for them. But they don’t have to pay into any of our various employee protections because loopholes?

They can terminate your “not employment” at any time for any reason and use this as a method to force you to do things you don’t want to.

All while paying you less than minimum wage. Instacart specifically is very bad for this. They give you a "predicted shop time " which will often be in the realm of 30-40 mins + 10-20 travel time to and from the store. And the batch will be valued at less then $15m

If then acknowledge that the job will take X amount of time, the base pay needs to hit $15/h x est time.

Same goes for all gig jobs.

Simply put, I need to buy groceries.

It’s not that I will have issues learning or researching, it is that I don’t have the time too.

If the barrier to using Linux is needing to spend time troubleshooting and researching to do simple tasks, I just won’t.

So far this thread has been very enlightening to me, I’m excited to try something new. But my OS is not my hobby.

Oh wonderful! Thank you for the suggestions!

It’s what I got to use in highschool computer class, I’m a sucker for what I know.

Do we want more orphans and teen mothers stuck in abusive relationships?

The unfortunate answer to that question is yes, they do. Uneducated people vote blue, abused mothers vote what their abuser votes for out of fear. They need to feed the cycle that the church started and we are just starting to climb out of.

There is a reason that the church is anti-sex-ed, it doesn’t survive without people raised in it.

Am I interpreting this graphic wrong? Will a change in vote method lower our options?

While we have “2 superpowers” here in Canada, at least we have 7 represented parties, the other methods have less overall representation?

Oh I wondered. I didn’t have any for a few years and bought a box. Thought they looked smaller.

I purchased a razor branded Smartwatch, way back when. Thing could barely connect to my phone, it’s battery life was atrocious when it did, and all it did was show the time and track steps. It didn’t have any built-in notifications so you had to use a separate app. This was fairly early in smart watches though, it was pretty fad-esque.
