I’m glad this community is a thing. There is [email protected] for lore, drama and debacles, which is interesting to see when there is conflict between multiple somewhat reasonable sides, but when it’s just mods behaving silly it doesn’t feel as right a place.

Eventually they demand unwavering fealty to their, and only theirs alone, lineage.

We don’t even have to wait for this eventuality. Trump is the embodiment of this process pressed into an ultrapure essence already. He demands fealty to one person, himself.

The cancelling process is easy! Just one throw to hit the cancel space on the Lucky Wheel!

Step right up! And make sure your Wii remote strap is fastened securely!

I’d choose the circle… you’re telling me there’s not enough time to unbind the reincarnating demigods from the track to end the suffering?

Or is the real problem that we need to keep them there to prevent them from becoming unkillable menaces to society?

However, the Israeli military apparently used that Hamas information to bomb the Hamas house a second time and then targeted the Hamas ambulance as it attempted to rescue the Hamas survivors, killing the Hamas doctor and several Hamas children.

Hope this is better now. -IDF

My take is that with Harris courting endorsements from many formerly rank-and-file Republicans, this drives the point home. If anybody is still confused that Trump’s party is VERY different from what the Republican Party used to be, the Cheney’s endorsing her should settle that. Anybody still unconvinced is wilfully ignorant at minimum.

I usually like to hear about people’s travels to xyz. I find it less interesting to know about who had a baby, who’s engaged with whom etc. but baby pictures are kinda cute. Usually though the purpose of hearing people talk about therir trip is to tell another mutual friend/family member that “person abc went to country xyz” or “had a baby with xyz”. But sometimes you wonder how it would be like to visit that country yourself, or if you have been then how their trip compared to yours, so hearing stories from people you know are good insights.

It can drag on after a while, so when some anecdote goes on too long I try to fast forward towards the end of the trip, ask more about the trip that I want to hear about, or ask “did you bring anything back?” As the last question before changing the subject.

I like telling anyone who’s interested about train stuff, and I’ll share my travels in conversation, but I try to limit it to showing one or two pictures/videos off my phone and just the highlights in a few sentences.

I am very shitty on security (I would not write this reply on a post on the cybersecurity community), and I resisted MFA for several years as being too annoying having to login to mail/SMS. After finding open source apps supporting TOTP, I feel better about it and I manually do the syncing by just transferring the secrets between my devices offline.

Passkeys are another foreign thing that I think I will get used to eventually, but for now there are too many holes in support, too much vendor lock-in (which was my main distaste for MFA, I didn’t want MS or Google Authenticator), and cumbersome (when email and SMS were the only options for MFA, difficulty of portability for passkeys).

The Canadian provinces are Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island (the little island nestled in the middle), and New Brunswick.

The odd cases are Québec (only puts “Permis de Conduire”) and Yukon Territory (written as “Operator’s Licence”)

Spitballing here, the transition to Electric Transport Trucks and associated charging infrastructure could introduce more slack in an industry where speed is usually top priority.

At an intermodal facility, often time is wasted waiting to load/unload, which could be spent to recharge. For local distribution, charging at home base seems feasible and efficient. For long hauls, where hours of service, tiredness management is concerned, with adequate spacing of charging infrastructure, trucks can be charged during rest breaks.

I bestow upon you the title of 凡人 (bonjin), in Japanese means an unremarkably mediocre person. You can tattoo it and tell people it means psychopath instead of course, who’s stopping you?

Yeah and at the very least the BC provincial Supreme Court ruled that people have the right to some form of shelter, even outdoors in public spaces if adequate shelter can’t be provided by the local authorities. Unlike the US.

I kind of felt that way at that age, in the sense that I was worried about choosing a career path and being stuck in it forever.

For me, moving away from my entire previous life in a new city far away was something I wasn’t really expecting I would do, but I did and I generally feel really good about it.

At your age, and when you start living in your own place, you’ve got to realize that stuff isn’t just going to happen for you any more, and if you want something done you are going to need to put serious effort into it. Yes, it is tough to work a full time job that leaves little time for thinking about and doing much else, for ever-decreasing pay. However, you have to make the most of it, make changes you want to see in your life. Plan things out, speak with people to see whether your ideas are sound, make decisions, act on them, taking on calculated risks and responsibilities. Then you’ll find you’ll be able to do what you want to a bit more.

Nice! I like it!

That’s a classic move when you can’t even fudge your way through the Harris campaign’s bait trap. Accuse the other side of – seasonal allergies?

You actively choose not to use it but if you didn’t know about such a mechanic, sometimes you might end up like this.

The title you gave the removed post gives enough credence to the removal reason, and it is enough for me to know it’s not a discussion to be had in good faith.

I’m not a mod, but as a user, flamebait submissions where someone pretends to innocently “just ask questions” or put out a statement for the primary purpose of starting back-and-forth arguments are super annoying and frustrating to interact with. I have 100 bones to pick with the NDP (despite voting for them) such as over-reliance on consultants and their stance on involuntary medical care that I’d be happy to talk about. That title and your behaviour suggests that’s not the kind of discussion that post was aiming for.

The minister’s biography line is hilarious.

Prabmeet Sarkaria is Ontario’s Minister of Transportation. He lives in Brampton and drives to Toronto every day.

That’s the problem. Not the bike lanes. We need suitable alternatives. Drive to Bramalea and take the GO to Queen’s Park you lazy ass, and if it’s not good enough for you then make it better, you’re literally the person in charge of this. At least you’re an improvement over the person from the “sell the 407 for pennies on the dollar” family.

The public modlog gives a helpful hint:

reason: Flame-baiting. If you want a good discussion, try approaching the subject in a neutral manner.

Also please post moderation and lemmy.ca website questions to [email protected] instead of the BC community, thank you.
