Number one in our hearts 😔

I had a good time, so times must've been good! people must be lying!

I guess? These are, of course, the same boomers that turn around and tell anyone younger than Gen X that if they can't afford a home, it's because they don't work hard enough. unfortunately, we're all people. the best we can do is try to be less idiotic than our parents.

Or, hear me out, the major arteries are designed for people, not cars. Trains, busses, and metros instead of highways and bypasses.

You don’t need cars to move people. That’s a design choice that cities make.

Damn adding transactions to YNAB and Splitwise at the same time is a game changer. I’ve struggled with that before — how do folks do it? A virtual “Money Back From Splitwise” account?

Not Vancouver or Toronto. I’ve never seen anything against bicycling on that stretch and, to the contrary, see a few hardcore road folks most times I use it.

Bike lanes, yes, but this past weekend I saw the aftermath of a cyclist hit on a highway. There have to be long distance routes for folks that want to commute, to train. It has to be separated from cars and safe.

What’s the benefit of this? I don’t understand how that benefits parents or children. Who cares if the kid is a boy or a girl? What if their parents are abusive? School is part of where identity develops, to rob kids of that seems messed up

anyone else hunting for SSDs despite not needing the extra storage? I'm sure I can find space in my desktop for an extra M.2 drive or two... and the prices! they're so low!!

FWIW I’m not sure I’d be excited that my donations to Lemmy.ca would be spent on disaster relief. Some related projects make sense (other federated communities, online Canadian content ,etc) , but I stopped donating to Wikipedia after getting tired of their tangential charity shit.

To that end, some ideas

  • Chat Across Canada (CAC? Could do something with sea to sea, as well, although c2c is a band)
  • Canadian Federated Communities, although CFC is bad
  • Canada online
  • Some backronym for CANUCK
  • Federated Canuckistan (okay this one is particularly dumb)

I’m not sure if the name will make a huge deal if you can do “business” under another name. If the society name is “Lemmy.ca and associated project deployments for Canadians by Canadians” can you “do business” (receive donations to, brand websites as) Lemmy.ca? There’s nothing really unclear about “the Lemmy.ca matrix server” or “an instance of mastodon run by Lemmy.ca”.

Is it capitalism to blame or the lack of controls on who can own how many rental properties?

I agree, some proposed solutions would be good, but it’s also an excerpt from a longer work that could include some.

Isn’t the goal to remove public hearings? Why should a neighbour get to decide what you do with your property. That’s what OCPs are for.

For what’s it worth, I’m replying to you from Lemmy. It’s all federated so you can easily respond to Kbin posts from the Memmy app for Lemmy
