oof. interesting assumption about me!

plenty of people find satisfaction from doing that sort of thing. i know i do. problem is - i just can’t afford the risk of devoting all of time to that right now, because there’s no guarantee for my financial security.

i also make my own maple syrup, and keep bees. would raise chickens, if my local bylaws weren’t so outdated.

and i never claimed that I would be doing it for 10K people. where’d ya get that number from?

this is why even Canadians are hesitant to visit. you guys are even arresting your baseball heroes!!!

this comment hit me deeply. it has given me SO MUCH to think about. thank you for sharing your thoughts!

oof. god-tier difficulty

nah. there’s people out there whose favourite thing is to do the niche “yucky” or tedious things, but they can’t, because they had to get a job in marketing, or work in retail because they needed ANY job just so they could survive.

Universities can get away with having classes taught by poorly paid adjuncts because lots of people would like to teach university courses

that's because those jobs come with pensions and job security. if a UBI was in place, then jobs like that would have no choice, but to offer more money. same with the undesirable jobs like cleaning sewers. can't fill it? offer more money. this is why farmers have to rely on migrant workers, because they simply can't pay enough

i think you get my point, though. during the pandemic, the garden centres emptied out, because people wanted to grow their own food.

new way to greet the homies

but surely their power lies in money. if nobody has the money to buy the things billionaires profit from, then they lose their power

broccoli is like anal sex… if you’re forced to have it as a kid, you’re not gonna like it as an adult

imagine how many republicans were immensely angered by this! makes me feel warm inside.

consumers really don’t read labelling properly.

the label that always makes me chuckle is “made with 100% REAL fruit juice” which is ridiculously deceptive

imagine if they simply spent that lobbying money on research and development!

I would suggest his definition of the word “date” is ALSO very limited…

i mean… i like fantasy and sci-fi a lot, but those mushrooms are probably only there because of all the dog poo along the trail…

EDIT : and before anyone says “i bet you’re a lot of fun at parties,” i would like to inform you that : yes, i am, but mostly because i casually bring the word “poo” into the conversation

i own a domain, and have a catchall account which forwards to a single address.

any time i sign up for a service, i use their business name as the prefix.

for example : i decide to go shop at a store called Mold Gravy, and the clerk tells me i can save 15% on today’s purchase by giving them my email address. i tell them it’s [email protected].

this keeps my actual main email account from getting polluted, and also if i notice an increase in spam, i can see which company either sold my fake email address, or were compromised, and the i can simply block it.

it costs $10/yr for a domain name, and another $5/month for hosting. well worth it.

ETA : there’s a lot of really great suggestions here, not only in response to me, but also in this whole thread!

did he go broke because he had to pay for a subscription to Peloton?

any time a government is trying to fast track a bill, every resident should be paying special attention; no matter their party of choice.

pretty crazy that this came from the Liberals
