Political violence is and always has been an issue in the US. Framing this as a partisan issue is disingenuous and unhelpful. I say this as a friendly northern neighbour. I'm worried about you friends

I agree, I choose the option that gives me the best experience. That is normally an unofficial option. For instance, I want to choose the tv shows accessible for my daughter. I want her to have access to tv shows from all over the world. There is no official service that offers that.

That's not normal. I'm sorry you had to go through that mate.

That explains why Trump is so hostile towards Hillary

Just make sure you don't accidentally use the ads-apt-repository or yum-config-manager --ads-repo commands

It must be tough, these sounds like pretty intense feelings and thoughts. Have you considered remote mental health options? I've used them in the past and found them useful

[–] Greg@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Do you have a birth certificate? Do you have access to a mental health professional?

I agree, a foreign direct investment approach would be good. We want to keep automotive skills and North American auto brands need competition otherwise we'll never get affordable EVs.

It says "total area of land surface" so I guess they're excluding all of Canada's lakes

 
 
 

This may be an unpopular opinion but we should consider moving the Canada / US border 250km north along the Detroit river. Moving the border north 250km would reduce the amount of cross border trips for the automotive industry negating a lot of the tariff issues. And I don't think the geniuses ruling the US would realize that moving the border north along this stretch would result in Canada gaining over 9000km² of land.

The reason this may be unpopular is because Canada would inherit the Detroit Red Wings.

These raccoons were having an epic all day love making session outside my window yesterday. They're nocturnal so I guess this is the equivalent of an all-nighter and I assume the masks are a kink ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Every 30 mins they'd venture out of the dead tree's hollow and start up again. Putting the wild in wildlife. Awww, to be young again...

 

The arguments I've heard about tracking etc are misguided and don't understand the actual risks.

Firstly, posts on the fediverse are already likely being consumed by advertising platforms like Facebook & Google. It would be trivial for big tech companies to setup relays that act as scrapers.

Secondly, the value in platform's tracking individuals is for advertising. There is no mechanism for these platforms to identify you browsing the we if your instance federated with threads. Your instance won't share cookie sessions etc with threads. It doesn't increase your exposure.

Thirdly, these platforms have the know how to deal with spam and they will be incentivised to share that tech with other federated instances.

Don't get me wrong, Facebook is an evil company. But I haven't heard a decent argument as to why them joining the fediverse is a bad thing. We always have the option to defederate in the future.

Change my mind.

 

Please don’t ask why I need this.

It would be great if the food also made me sweat a lot.

It doesn't need to be something I can easily find.
