I’ve been using RIF and old.reddit.com for as long as they existed. Reddit since the big Digg transition. Hope to never see the same happen to Lemmy!!

Or make fines be 100% or more of the ill gotten gains. It’s probably like 10% or less
The nation desperately needs police reform!
Stuff like this, or disabling body cam footage IMO should result in immediate termination and absolutely no union protection
There’s someone working for Kingston Ontario police who was harassing his wife/girlfriend. There was an article about him pleading guilty that kept the victim 100% anonymous… Then he makes public statements to the press. Reveals its his significant other that they owned a home together with. Claims he “pleaded guilty because he couldn’t afford a legal defense.” You literally get one whether you can afford one or not.
The guy makes 200k per year. Funny this hate criminal kicking heads is getting 18 months because so did this Kingston cop! A YEAR AND A HALF 100% PAID VACATION. Now he’s back with a comfy administrative desk job.
You know what happens when locals criticise the cops? They literally tell us “you should be careful, we might now show up when you need us.”
Yup! I recently read about aboriginal tribes doing controlled burns during the winter, rainy seasons etc. They even noticed certain plants would grow more afterwards, attract certain animals etc
“politicizing disasters” to me just sounds like exploring the possibility that there are people and actions to blame…
Canada is ripe for the picking, we let our telecoms walk all over us.
I wonder how much of our “economy doing great” is just businesses generating GDP from crap like this…
That’s just the trickle down. Check the pockets and bank accounts, panama papers…
Don’t forget plain ol’ corporate greed
I believe in Canada we have high standards for our potable water, unlike the UK for example our water heaters need to be up to par (UK typically has seperate taps AFAIK).
So no need to boil, also if you’re trying to get rid of chlorine you can just use Brita filters, carbon filters that restaurants use do the same AFAIK. Also even cities like mine which (at least at some point before now) had way more houses than apartments still chlorinated the entire city’s supply.
Filters are insanely good these days. I was thinking about getting a life straw, but there’s a slightly more expensive alternative that can do like 500x more filtering before it needs to be replaced, and comes with a pouch you can fill and then pour into a regular water bottle. Life straws are meant to be drank from directly, and the alternatives that company offers are just water bottles with life straws built in - so you put unfiltered water in the bottle itself… Probably gets gross or requires constant cleaning
In other news, water is wet!
We used to have laws and regulations in place for stuff like this, same with the USA. As years passed they lost their teeth
The Netscape loading logo was pretty cool, and of course it took a while to load every page!
A bit later than what I’d call the early internet, I’d say my favourite memory was winning a Super Soaker CPS 2500 when I was 13.
No random drops to lower quality either!
A few hundred a year won’t make much difference, unless of course their main income already puts them into the top tax bracket, even then it’s gonna be less than $200
…what do you get for $9 a month? I’m guessing you’re not in Ontario? Since I was a loyal long term customer I was lucky to get my bill down to 40 minus 10 bucks promotionally (which doesn’t show up in my account or say how long it’ll last) from 60 a month for 15GB of data. And now of course you can get more data for the same price or some shit as a new customer
Opening up to international competition is one option… Honestly we could have Canadian companies be competitive but that would involve work and effort from all levels: government, consumer, and business.
These dare the days of everyone wanting everything for free, but I’m not talking lazy hobos - I’m talking the entitled rich who think they can just keep sucking the rest of us dry indefinitely
Hudson’s Bay Company remembers
IIRC they owned most of not all of the land from Hudson’s Bay down to, if not including central Ontario, Toronto & Ottawa etc
Oh man you missed them in their glory days. They would pressure the big three, prices were lowered, and they gave that back to us customers. They emailed us telling our plans were getting cheaper, faster, or both!
Now they’re just the diet coke of the big three. They offer the same crap that all the other ones do - nothing for loyal customers but like over $400 off for newer customers, limited time offers for even faster and cheaper plans…
It’s all shit. You hop from service to service, or you tell them you’re going to do that and all of a sudden they offer you amazing plans to get you to stay.
Teksavvy will literally throttle your speeds if you’re late on your bill, without warning, days before they initially told you they were going to cut you off. This ruined my plans to download a few things before I was stuck offline. This forced me to use up all of my full speed mobile data (another thing that most developed countries don’t have and scoff at, data caps). Then you gotta argue with them to NOT have to pay for services that were not provided/withheld.
It’s wine when they have it but yes it turns into literal horseshit by the time it trickles down.
There’s just enough people in the middle class, pacified by their Netflix accounts and multiple yearly vacations to not give a fuck about the rest of us ☹️
And of course us working smucks get to taste all that shit just enough to want to struggle paycheck to paycheck, if we’re lucky
After loving the shit out of Control, I have to go back and play this sometime. I always knew about it but never seriously looked at playing it.
Speaking of, I might replay Control on the PS5. It was pushing the limits of the PS4 Pro
I just wiped out on my e-road bike going a bit too fast around a corner on a damp morning when roads were slick, and I feel like the speed I took the corner at would’ve resulted in the same thing on a motorcycle 😂
I look at bikes like yours here and I wonder how different does it feel from riding on a motorcycle? Magnitudes lighter of course. I’ve never ever driven a motorcycle, wouldn’t mind a crotch rocket, got to ride on the back of a chopper a few times.
I wasn’t much for helmets until I converted my road bike. I could even use an armored jacket or something lol
