  • Trump says he plans to enact 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico and add to existing tariffs on China on his first day in office

  • I've never tried this but how about one of those small DIY greenhouses? Apparently they're pretty easy to make. I'm not sure how cold it gets at your latitude but with a greenhouse you could manage to lower your zone a level. Maybe enough for those carrots.

    Worst case I guess is just grow winter crops during the summer. Half a year of cheaper food is better than nothing.

  • Have you tried carrots? They can grow in negative 8 degrees Celsius (around 19 degrees freedom units)

    I think broccoli and Brussels sprouts also do well.

    When it comes to cucumbers, however, growing a ton, and pickling them is perfect for using all year round, and pickling is also way easier than I first thought.

  • I like growing vegetables and flowers. It is the only think keeping me sane living in the city.

    I know some do not, but the tariffs are happening, so best you can do is adapt, though honestly I would suggest it even if the tariffs were cancelled. It saves money, is good for the environment and your mental health.

  • Are all cucumbers imported? Those can be farmed in the US, I believe.

    I suggest starting a small garden for various vegetables and spices to save money. For those living in apartments, you can make some in your windows.

    Mini leeks are probably the easiest. I actually got an overwhelming amount just from two pots and barely needed to do any kind of maintenance.

  • There’s no easy fix for this

    You can start by being honest and transparent.

    This is only a misinformation problem because there is a trust problem.

    There is only a trust problem because of a long history of repeatedly breaking that trust.

    The absolutely last thing you want is for regulation to limit speech of the influencers. You want to give them no reason to think there is foul play. You have to fight it with the truth.

    Remove corporations' and political parties' right to privacy. Privacy is for humans. Everything else goes on a public ledger.

    Make all scientific publications public and free forever. Science should not be paywalled.

    Always mark (not remove) misinformation and enforce a notification system on all platforms to users who saw content that later turned out to be misinformation. Always provide evidence for why it was misinformation. Make reading the misinformation notifications mandatory to keep your social media account.

  • This. Why would anyone want their private conversations, out there? Don't put your password in you will. Put a dead man switch on your PC.

    If it is to close down a social media account they can contact the company directly.

    If it is to take out money, they can contact the bank directly.

    If it is to inform contacts, they can live without knowing.

    If it is to cancel subscriptions, you're going to have to send letters, wait in a phone call for hours, and cancel the credit card either way because of scummy cancellation practices.

  • Transgender woman wins record payout in China after electroshock treatment

    Jump

  • And government does not equal country. However both the goverment and the people are part of the country. When Chinese people win, the country wins. I said China, I.e. the country, not the government. If I had been talking about the government I would have said the CCP, which I am not trying to lift up in my comment. Fuck the CCP.

  • I never said the judicial system of China, I said China as in the country, people of China are a subset of China the country, therefore a Chinese people W is a China W. Can we stop this pointless conversation now?

  • I mean sure, if you don't consider the people of china to be China, but we're going down semantics here.

  • They just had a major step forward in trans rights in china. She could have received more, but the amount of money isn't the part that makes it a win.

  • It is a major step forward for trans rights in China which is a win. They've been virtually non-existent.

  • I feel no fear or anxiety at all at first. It just doesn't come out if someone is next to me. The fear and anxiety comes afterwards when you've started taking a little bit too long. I think a lot also has to do with reduced bladder pressure as you get older or get chronic back issues.

  • Count the number of tiles in front of you, solve some math problems in your head, think about what to do next saturda- shit, some guy just moved next to me. Is he looking? Maybe I should pull out my phone and check lemmy. ...but then people will think I'm recording them piss, and the fact that I'm still not pissing will further justify their suspicions. Maybe I should just pretend to have a small coughing fit and that's why I can't pee. But then people will start looking, and maybe even worry I'll spray them accidentally. Oh the guy finished peeing. I'll just wait until he leaves the room then. Oh another guy just entered. Well, he doesn't know anything so I'll just pretend I finished peeing and hold it in for the rest of the day.

  • If he tries to become president for life, his life ends after 4 years. There is no way people won't assasinate him if he goes full dictator. He's already had two attempt on him for going the legitimate Democratic route.
