As an US-Canadian dual citizen who grew up and was educated in Canada/Europe, I’m not gonna lie, I don’t get this argument. Canada as a confederation is 157 years old, we haven’t had the time to carve out a unifying cultural identity.

Ask any Canadian, hell ask yourself, “What is Canadian culture?” Rick Mercer has done so many street interview segments about this (we watched them during history class for funsies). It always boils down to “We’re different from/not as bad as America”, “We’re kind of like Europe” or “hockey”. The answers were also very different if you asked francophones in Quebec, francophones outside of Quebec, Acadians, or you know…Indigenous people.

Actually Rick Mercer might have been the closest thing we had to Canadian culture. And we did nothing to protect him 😞

I’m really not trying to be conspiracy brained, seriously, but won’t the DNC also be making money from a Trump presidency? Stocks/private contracts of the DNC executives aside, don’t they also get huge amounts of donations when they’re the “opposition”?

I’m not saying they purposely ran a shitty campaign, but they clearly have a “silver lining” for if Trump won compared to us normies. Man, it’s so fucked, please someone give me evidence to the contrary, I beg.

Saskatchewan?

This is also assuming that the 300+ million Americans have the same size carbon footprint, which is probably not true if you think about it for more than a second. I doubt the bottom 60% of earners in the country have the purchasing power to create that much waste through excess consumerism at this point.

Most of those “Shein/Temu/Aliexpress” hauls or 10x vacations across the world in a year you see on social media are not done by middle or lower income people/families.

This is very much a top heavy issue.

-puts on tinfoil hat- Is this why we’re suddenly getting so many remasters/remakes?

-takes off hat- No, it’s probably because the corporate gaming industry is creatively bankrupt and want to cash in on nostalgia with minimal risk. But remakes/remasters probably strengthen the “market harm” portion of their argument.

Yikes, sorry for that. I’ve had the electric depillers cause holes in my knitwear/sweaters more often than I like, that’s why I went back to old traditions and haven’t had any problems.

Could be user error for both of us, but maybe the real lesson is that clothes nowadays suck/are flimsy as hell?

Get something called a “fabric comb”. It’s what my grandparents and great grandparents used to depill all their clothes, including delicate wool and cashmere, and that’s what I stand by. Cheap, come in different sizes, tooth ranges, and no need to change batteries. Hard to enshittify that.

Find an YouTube video to show you how to comb different grains/types of cloth with it. I was taught by my grandma, but it’s pretty easy once you know what you’re doing.

I recently learned grenadine is called that because it used to be made from pomegranate juice, NOT because it was from Grenada.

Those look closer to durian than pineapples tbh.

I had no idea this was ported to mobile, thank you for informing me. May all your pillows be your preferred temperature for sleeping on both sides for the rest of your life.

Do they not have lactose-free cream where you live?

People conflate lactose intolerance with a dairy allergy, but lactose is a sugar that is easily removed during processing of milk/cream, and there’s a lot of milk products nowadays that have lactose removed (milk, cream, half&half) or never had lactose to begin with (most hard cheeses).

I actually have MS Seattle HQ address as my Xbox address lol

In June 2022, a federal appeals court affirmed Donziger’s criminal contempt conviction. In March 2023, the Supreme Court declined to hear further appeals.

I’m shocked.

…well that’s just great, I wish someone had told me this before my eyesight was at -6.00

I think my eyesight getting progressively worse every year is a bigger contributor to the glasses industry than planned obsolescence 😭

Yeah, honestly I tuned it for a bit and was shocked at how shocked I was about the debate being just a normal(ish) political debate.

It’s bothering me how desensitized I’ve become to Trumpian rhetoric in politics, not only in the USA, but globally. Almost a decade of this shit in the public, and a whole new generation of voters who think it’s normal, too. It’s pissing me off.

I followed your advice to the last detail and 48h later, it worked!

Thank you so much for writing this up, I cannot emphasize how much it helped with my confidence to get this done. You were right about the desperation too. The little guy has a missing bottom fang and a potential injured/broken-and-healing jaw, he can barely chew his food. He just wanted some help 😭

Edge of the property is a good idea, I was thinking about how to get it to my protected porch area since it’s a ways away from the sidewalk where the kitty usually roams. Did you just put it on your grass?

Thank you for the cat tax 😭 Todd is adorable. Do you have any shelter setup for colder days/nights for Todd, or does he sleep somewhere else?

Your advice is sound, I think I’ll start by leaving food on my porch and letting the cat approach the property. The problem is that the cat was waaaay too friendly to be a feral, and was neutered too. The only reason it bit me was because it was startled by a motorcycle starting, otherwise it was all over me (I didn’t try to pick it up or anything). I think it is a lost pet.
