Yeah Walmart does the same thing. It’s usually because the cops don’t really care about individual thefts but if they show you repeatedly stealing they can bring a real case against you

Apple did pay Xerox for it if I’m remembering right

You’re getting downvoted but it’s probably true. They have so much money they could jump ship and just buy any other country. It seems like a lot of them are already planning for that in New Zealand.

That being said, I fully endorse giving them hell and taking back your country, even if they dip

Yup. One of the reasons I don’t like Trudeau. (Would take him over PP though)

We just crave that dopamine in any available form

I like roma tomatoes for that reason. They’re a lot more flesh than blood

My cousin works for Tesla and he absolutely despises Musk and the company, but he makes way more than he could anywhere else and is able to work remotely from his home in Canada. He also just bought a house so he needs that money.

He’s got the golden handcuffs

I think working retail should be a mandatory thing like how military service is mandatory in some countries.

Everyone should have to serve their time doing retail so that they can have a bit of empathy

Mate, one is LITERALLY and repeatedly threatening to invade us. Yes, we can do multiple things at once but one should be way higher on the agenda to deal with

Didn’t realise you weren’t American, sorry for assuming. Admittedly I’m very jaded right now (and a bit drunk) with all the threats of invasion and with Americans either laughing it off or being all for it (and I recognise that’s not all Americans but it’s enough). Like, “haha, Canada will turn the USA blue!”

And fine, yeah Canada is pretty up there for LGBT rights, but when one of the main platform points (imported from the USA!) from the Conservatives right now seems to be just straight up attacking trans people, it makes me pretty worried. I have multiple family members and a few friends who are trans or non binary and the rhetoric is scary.

But TL;DR, not angry at you, just America(ns). I apologise to the good Americans, but your country is exporting a lot of bullshit right now. More than usual

This timeline? Where the US is nearly the last of any western nation to legalise gay marriage?

And isn’t your country actively trying to work back any progress you’ve had in the last decade? Trans rights, queer rights, women’s rights, minority rights.

Also isn’t it Americans who are pushing the most for anti-LGBT legislation in African countries?

Canada is falling down the same hill when it comes to trans rights, and it hurts me, but I’m not out here saying that Canada is any sort of leader in the field. I recognise the issues my country has and I’m going to fight to fix them.

Knock off the American exceptionalism for one second and deal with the problems your country has

From Americans?

Oh mailbox seems cool. I’m personally using mxroute.com to host my domain’s email but to be fully honest, I’m still stuck on the Gmail for most things.

I mostly use my person domain email for things like a contact address on my résumé.

I want to switch fully to my personal domain email but mxroute’s web app(s) kind of suck 😅

Me being too lazy and putting off switching to Proton has paid off!

A JS-free version would have to have the work offloaded to a server via an API request. I’m not sure if that’d be any better. At least with JS, you can theoretically read the code running on your machine

I just checked and Amoxtli’s instance, thelemmy.club doesn’t defederate from lemmynsfw.com!! We have a pervert over here 😲

It’s the only way I can quit anything. Recently quit vaping (nicotine) that way

Knowing companies, they won’t realise anything and will just make their existing employees pick up the slack

I’m not a fan of doing the touristy areas either but your original message was that tourism in general was bad.

And how do you make friends in a place before going? Especially if you don’t speak the language

So what is experiencing another culture then?
