mostly inactive, lemmy.ca is now too tainted with trolls from big instances we’re not willing to defederate
The point is that the usefulness of a tool is determined by how people use it, not what it was created for. Downvotes will always be used as “i dont like this” unless their mechanics change
anyone who raises a contrasting opinion is downvoted into invisibility
Also this a great exaggeration. We’re defending contrasting opinions right now and that’s not happening.
Having an issue with “ideology” is like disliking pronouns, it’s a part of everyday life that you can’t just sensibly try to distance yourself from
Me saying “the rest of country turns it’s brain off”, may have been a little more loaded than I realised, I will take accountability for that, honest mistake on my part.
That’s healthy. But if you can be this generous with yourself, try doing it for others too.
More broadly, people seem to largely be doing one of the shitty things I left Reddit and moved to Beehaw for: using the downvote button as “disagree” instead of what it should be: “not contributing to the conversation”.
This is splitting straws. This distinction never made sense anyway
I’m at the same time terribly sorry that you get so much flack for things you’re not responsible for. But you also you’re the one responsible for growing a patience bone and understanding that this is just how stereotypes work, and almost literally everyone in this world carries a few of these on their backs. Hope you can use this experience to empathize with how other communities struggle with their own stereotypes, and incorporate that in your activism.
But the contrary seems to be happening, you seem to be missing the opportunity to self reflect. You’re not respectfully asking for respect, so you won’t get much. I understand you might have some emotions running high right now, but then again you don’t seem to be giving others any leeway either.
Interac, should be made the Canadian equivalent of PIX, managed by the central bank, competing with credit cards
This is not a computer game. You can’t just stop producing a crop and go do something else. You can shift slowly over time, but not fast enough to prevent economic damage.
Yea of course they’ll use this power shift to their advantage. Just like we’re being taken advantage of by our old partner. No one should expect different from the two largest economies and military powers.
But it is what must be done now. It’s better to even the reliance on them rather than concentrate on one. This is exactly what Brazil has done better than everyone else in the last decade and the result shows. Trump tried to escalate, but tariffs just aren’t hitting as hard and the country easily shifted their relationship. Canada integrated its economy to the US and now will need life threatening surgery to change course.
Assuming this is about soccer…
Even with teams that have players that are notoriously bad at this, the total time the game waits on those is like 5 minutes
There are many options for partnerships in Asia, e.g., Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, Philippines, and many others. Canada should strengthen ties with them imo.
That’s also already happening, so the question on what to do differently remains
I walked by a clinic on my way to the bakery, took their contact info, called them and asked if they were accepting patients. They were, so me and my wife signed up.
Doug Ford can eat shit all the way but it is pretty funny how he’s doing the slightest efforts to pretend to have a backbone… but even a whiff of non-acquiescence evokes the full might of authoritarians so it ends up having almost the same effect as actually be fighting back hard as nails. This timeline is messed up that this moron doing jack shit is being consequential.
In 2026. That’s decades away.
It’s funny and sad how this rings so accurate
The fact that the farmers are still making zero effort to isolate these animals from humans and wildlife is the main reason the animals need to be culled as soon as possible
I’m not making any proposals so not sure what you’re on about “this” intruding on anyone’s rights
poor legal gun owners… thoughts and prayers
(sorry for the late reply)
Aren’t these birds safe now, since they have recovered from the flu?
No
we don’t quarantine people permanently after they recover from the flu
Correct, and we also don’t have cull orders for humans.
Insisting they still be culled at this point serves only to set an example
Incorrect. This flock is compromised and is putting humans and other birds at risk
the infectious window’s “ship has sailed”, has it not?
No
But the animals don’t need to suffer at this point do they?
Right, they don’t need to suffer. They need to be either absolutely quarantined or destroyed. The owners are making zero effort to quarantine the birds, so it’s on them that the only option is culling.
Oof. That’s egregious. So according to some people even though the CBC slips up and platforms this kind of moron, it’s still not “pluralistic/bipartisan” enough. That’s their whole deal: it will never be enough.
I understood the context, doesn’t change what I’m saying
