Many Canadians view Donald Trump as an enemy of Canada, and that view is not surprising given that Trump repeatedly threatens our existence as a sovereign nation and is deliberately inflicting pain on Canadian workers. This is the fundamental fact of Canadian politics right now, and voters won’t listen to anything else you have to say if they aren’t sure you are united with them against Trump.
If it was languishing with a dozen upvotes and no comments, that'd be one thing; but it's generating discussion and interaction, so I'm not going to be the spoil-sport on this one.
I'll keep that in mind, thanks! Fortunately this is Lemmy, so I only have one or two reports each day to deal with (for now). And most users actually seem pretty mature and reasonable!
I have a hope that the sort of people to be on Lemmy at all aren't the sort to be too toxic or unreasonable; and mostly that's been wonderfully true in my (limited) experience!
I thought about editing that since unconstructive replies are less valid, but figured whatevs. I'd rather hear all feedback than discourage poor feedback. :p
I understand and appreciate your point. But as long as they're abiding by the rules of the sub, I'm going to let the community upvotes & downvotes be greater determinants of the worthiness of their posts. And as long as they're not being a bad actor, I won't ban this or any other user.
I'm just glad to see posts that are mostly-applicable to the topic rather than those spammy fake jobs or that one guy obsessed with the end of the world.
FYI, this post has been reported as "off topic", along with the declaration that posts of this nature make this board indistinguishable from Lemmy Politics.
As the sole Mod, I'm going to allow it because this sort of issue is a direct consequence of our civilization's corporate-centric approach to governing, and highlights the urgent need for Work Reform; the implementation of a system that is not 100% profit-driven or based around profit outcomes. Indeed; Work Reform is a political concept at its core since the entrenched powers never reform from within, but only change due to outside pressure.
Please let me know if you agree or disagree with this approach. All opinions are valid.
Finished Recursion by Blake Crouch based on someone else's recommendation in one of these threads a few weeks back. Wasn't bad at all.
Finished Pretenders to the Throne of God by Adrian Tchaikovsky, book 4 of the Tyrant Philosophers series. SO good. Maybe the best one yet.
Now reading Hidden Empire by Kevin J Anderson, book 1 of his "Saga of the Seven Suns" series. I've never read any of his books before; it's not bad, but Anderson is no Tchaikovsky. Feels almost Asimov-ish so far, but I'm only 1/4 through it.
Who eats bread like that? He's doing a Gollum impression or something. What a weird meme template
An international boycott is justified
Hear hear
5 burger is open for business to ensure you don't eat too much
Becky Chambers brand of cozy SciFi might be up your alley
Brobbie Brilliams. I know him from a Fus-Roh-Dah skyrim meme
What kind of hummus tho?
Thank you!
Exactly my experience!

Awwwws, thanks! Best wishes for your dialysis, that's rough. Hope things work out as well as possible
I know what you mean, and your logic is 100% sound.
By the time I saw this it was 8hrs old with +250 upvotes though, so I didn't want to purge it against the will of the people.
I did not see this particular moth, but I do have a few more of these on the screens, and I saw one of them laying a similar grid. It was brown :)
"May" be. Of course they are! That's their entire profit model!

LOL that's valid

Oh, its Sanitation again, I didn't notice that.
