  • It's a lot harder for America to accept attacking Canada is the casualties will be 100,000 instead of 10,000

  • This guy looks like the epitome of an evil anime villain.

  • Yeah it's pretty shit. My province only recently made it a requirement to provide a minimum of 5 paid sick days to full time staff due to COVID.

    Part timers I believe only get 3 / year.

    Canada is the middleman for everything on the scale of the States being far to one side of the scale and EU being the opposite side, Canada usually sits somewhere in the middle.

  • In Canada you only get 4 weeks after you have worked for the same company/organization for ten years. You only get 3 weeks after 5 years.

    Get a new job after 8 years? Start all over with 2 weeks vacation.

  • I think we have. In my area many deer during hunting season spend the time within city limits where it's illegal to fire guns. I am pretty sure they've figured it out.

  • Honestly I've always just put it down to another fault of the English language being weird. There should be a more concise word for a singular person where the gender is not defined, but there just isn't so people use "they".

    It's acceptable to me if the number of people isn't known but in your case of the doctor I would not find it ideal but acceptable just because there isn't another proper word if you don't want to / can't use the word he/she.

    To me in an ideal world They would strictly be for multiple people or an unknown number, and another word for those who don't identify as he/she or for cases where gender isn't relevant like title professions and whatnot.

  • Absolutely, I have driven with my boss enough to know that he absolutely does not know what a safe speed is.

    Especially when a safe speed for you when you were 40 is probably not the same speed when you are 60 but you are used to driving that way.

  • Enforcement is the issue. If you see everyday on your drive to work dozens of vehicles using the HOV lane when they aren't allowed to, and only ever see a cop pulling someone over once every 4-6 months, how often before you also start using the HOV lane when you aren't supposed to?

  • I guess that's where you and I differ. I see it as somewhat of a downside, letting a single or a few individuals dictate what everyone on the instance should or shouldn't see. I much prefer individuals having the choice to block what they don't wish to see.

    An instance can be federated over a single unity and then people wouldn't be able to access many other communities that were neutral/okay on that instance.

  • Could you go 50% and then use the free time to create some sort of side business?

  • Individuals could still block them, no?

  • ICE could easily make an account on Mastodon, would they get pissed if that happened too?

  • There's a "chain" in BC that's owned and run by first Nations, only three locations that I'm aware of but it's in three different cities..

    It's pretty decent, almost like a cross between Starbucks and Tim Hortons, but with a first Nations theme to it.

    Instead of doughnuts they serve bannock with flavours like Saskatoon berry frosting or apple cinnamon. It's very good.

    They also have great coffee.

    For food they have stuff like bannock with bowls of salad with various meats like salom or venison. I usually try to eat there at least once for lunch when I'm passing through one of those cities.

  • I mean, didn't the Romans crucify Jesus within the Roman Empire? Is she saying the Romans had full authority to murder Jesus so it's all good?

  • So its shit like this why RAM costs are up 500% or more?

  • Who the fuck doesn't have at least that much tariffs already?

  • Most Trump supporters probably can't even name more than 10 non-english speaking countries that aren't Mexico, Russia or China, and one their answers would probably be "Africa".

    International politics doesn't even come close to their thought processes during election time.

  • Step two was lose the ability to abuse other groups without societal repercussions.

    Not privileges in general I believe.
