With that attitude I don’t think we’d want you at Pride anyways :)

This is the second post today I’ve seen from you about transphobic vegans. Personally, I’ve met way more queer vegans/vegetarians than transphobic ones, so I kinda question how much of an issue this really is.

For sure there’s a subsection of vegans, the more granola “everything must be natural” side, that can tend towards transphobia (ever heard of the woo-to-Q pipeline?) but I don’t think it’s nearly as common as your posts indicate.

I’m trans and vegan and to me it just seems disproportionate to equate a vegan organization that has issues with misgendering to fascist political figures actively attacking our rights.

Peut-être que peu d’êtres peuvent être postés. This can. We can.

I want to share my perspective on this as someone who works for tips.

I don’t like tips in theory, but I’d be below the poverty line without tips so I really appreciate them. I also enjoy that they act as a mechanism to adjust my wage to the work I’m actually doing; I produce much more value as an employee on a busy day than when it’s dead, and without tips I’d make the same amount despite working much more.

I think realistically, unless we also massively adjust how the labour economy works, eliminating tipping would make profits higher for owners and make service industry workers poorer.

Like I’d gladly trade my tips for universal basic income, I would not trade my tips for poverty wages.

Lemmy.ca is run on a dedicated server in a datacentre in Vancouver, so this isn’t true (and really wouldn’t be relevant if it were). Think about it.

Personally, I just use a u-lock in combination with a small chain lock (well my chain lock actually borked recently, so I’ve been using one of those foldable locks, but you get the idea).

U-lock through the rear triangle, securing the frame and the rear wheel to a solid bike rack or post, with the secondary lock binding my front wheel to the frame is enough to make me feel safe leaving my bike out in most scenarios, even in my city with really high levels of bike theft.

People have laughed at me for using two locks, even for daytime stops that last less than 5 minutes and where my bike stays more or less in my line of sight the entire time. I don’t care if I look paranoid, though. I’ve lost one bike to my city already, I’m not losing another one.

Have you tried reading the article? :)

In short, Trump signed an executive order opening the possibility of refugee status to white descendents of Dutch colonizers who are “victims of unjust racial discrimination” (read: the South African government no longer exists with the sole purpose of ensuring the dominance of white people).

This peaceful-looking rural road seems dangerous to you? I’d take this over my daily commute in a typical North American city :P

Make it a soy vanilla latte and you got a three-bean* soup going on.

*If you ignore that coffee “beans” are actually seeds and that most cafés use articial vanilla-flavouring.

Sure, but you gotta draw the line somewhere. Like if I post a picture of my lunch on here, with the justification that calories and nutrition are important for cycling, I think that’d be off-topic.

However, if I shared the same picture and asked people what are their favourite pre and/or post-ride meals, I think that’d fit in better here.

Is this really bicycle-related? Like sure, the article mentions an exercise bike, but I don’t feel like this post really fits the spirit of the community.

You could edit your post to add a paragraph to try and relate this to bicycles!

Thanks, after a few coffees and this image, I figured it out! 😅

I haven’t had (enough) coffee and I’m really not wrapping my head around how you do this

Sûrement il doit y avoir façon d’affirmer l’identité canadienne sans avoir recours à un homme qui n’a peu à voir avec le Canada (sauf être descendant des gens qui ont colonialisé ce pays).

Établir la souveraineté canadienne en invitant un monarque britannique* à notre parliament…

J’suis pas l’biggest fan du Bloc, étant francophone hors-Québec, mais ils ont raison que cette décision est étrange. Je ne comprends tellement pas l’obsession des Anglos avec la royauté.

*Avant que quelqu’un me “corrige”, je réalise que Charles est techniquement roi du Canada, mais on s’entend qu’il est avant tout roi de l’Angleterre?

To win elections, you need a nominee who can appeal to at least some of the people who voted for Trump.

‘A change from the status quo’: the voters who backed Trump and AOC

It’s not like he cared about the constituents of Carleton, either.

This is vexillologically offensive.

Yes.

I’m not blaming the NDP voters in this riding instead of the Liberal voters, I’m blaming them alongside the Lib voters.
