Selfishly want Canada to road test some ridiculous tax for residential properties that you own but don’t personally reside in. 50% progressive increase in property taxes for every residential property beyond the one you live in or something.

Sounds great! Unfortunately insta is the only site I’ve kept to keep up with irl friends and family and I use it almost exclusively for that purpose (I don’t browse strangers’ posts) so it’s a much harder shift than Reddit —> kbin

There’s something about knowing there are hundreds of others listening to the same station at the same time that makes my local EDM station somehow more interesting than just shuffling the same playlist at home. Could your issue with albums have a social element similar to how watching a live sports match is just more exciting than the rerun an hour later even if you don’t know the outcome?

Also, I disagree with people saying that albums tend to be more boring because only the radio hits are good! I have many albums I like to listen to start to finish.

it’s a pretty drastic decision to make if you’re unsure, so these results seem pretty reasonable. Probably even more so for bottom surgery.

Was curious so did some digging, this article did a write up: “Provisional CDC data show that the number of suicide deaths in 2022 is the highest recorded, exceeding the next closest year (2018) by over 1,000 deaths (Figure 1). When adjusted for population growth and age, the suicide rate has risen by 16% from 2011 to 2022, moving from 12.3 to 14.4 deaths per 100,000 individuals. Looking back further to 1999, there is a substantial 37% increase from a rate of 10.57 per 100,000. Notably, while 2022 had the highest recorded number of suicide deaths, its rate is similar to 2018 (14.5 in 2022 vs. 14.2 in 2018 per 100,000) but higher than the rate in 2020—the year before suicide deaths began to climb again. Increases in the number of suicide deaths follow high levels of mental health symptoms during COVID, rising financial stressors, and longstanding difficulty accessing needed mental health care—particularly for some populations. Total suicide numbers may be undercounted, as some research suggests that suicides may be misclassified as drug overdose deaths since it can be difficult to determine whether drug overdoses are intentional.”

Lol you can’t tailor laws to the area like that, can you?

Nazism was quite centralized and therefore easier to target and eliminate. The bureaucratic structure made it easy to find and convict the main players afterwards. The ideology wasn’t totally eliminated, but new laws and such helped tamp it down.

The taliban is much less centralized and on top of that the various governments involved don’t have a lot of incentive to fall into line like Germany (which the US came in and rebuilt with a ton of strings attached so that it wouldn’t lose its German market share).

“Police say Parks Canada and independent contractors are working together to bring people down from the mountain along a 5.5-kilometre hiking trail.”

Damn, could be rough for people who were not prepared for a hike. They’ll have a story to tell when they get home!

I like Wells Fargo cause they’re the only ones who will give me quarters for cash without any questions and without needing an account with them. Groceries won’t give them anymore and my own local credit union only lets you get 2 rolls.

Weird, here’s the 12ft version.

Yeah, I’ve done a lot more school since and never seen it in another course. Shitty person I suppose.

I had a prof in college that graded like this (in an intro level geology class lol) and it made the atmosphere brutal. I don’t remember the exactly distribution but top x% got As bottom x% got Fs.
