COVID isn’t a flu, and treating it like it isn’t fair when you can be completely asymptomatic and spread it to someone who may have a really bad reaction to it.

The thing about the flu is that it has very obvious symptoms. You’re not getting the seasonal flu without knowing it. Meanwhile you may never know you have COVID, spread it to an immunocompromised person, and they die.

Didn’t realize only old people could have organ transplants, cancer, autoimmune disease, or just simply weaker immune systems.

Good thing it’s only old people.

In the uncensored footage he loses like all of his blood before he exits the ice. How he managed to even get up is beyond me.

Ya. I live in Canada, and I’ve never felt the need to own a gun. We have a TON of hunting guns here, but I think the fact we don’t allow open carry, changes the thought process of gun owners here, and we don’t see them as weapons to point at other people. They are more so seen as a tool for a hobby, like a fishing rod is used for fishing.

And honestly, if you avoid Toronto, violence in general is really low. Toronto is just… special.

There was a study published from data from the last like… 10 years, I believe, that show that people with guns are more likely to run away, and people WITHOUT guns, are more likely to jump in and try to stop the shooter.

So ya. These good guys with guns are just pussies that never actually use them for good.

In Ontario, disability gets you $1200 per month if you are lucky and max out everything. Most people get $800-900.

For one person on disability, you get $497 for rent. You wont even find a ROOM for $497.

Tell me where you can even rent and pay utilities for less, let alone groceries, clothes, etc.

Canada doesn’t even give people on disability enough to afford rent, let alone groceries, power bills, car insurance, etc.

Maybe start there. Help the disabled survive.

Lemmy is no different than Reddit. Just constant reposts.

It feels worse on Lemmy because the amount of content is so low. Really sucks.

Nope. Canada has had tap to pay for as long as I can remember. When Android Pay rolled out, nothing really changed. We just tap our phones instead of the physical card now.

How messy is your wallet that you don’t know?

My wallet consists of my health card and drivers license. Everything else is via Google Pay, and I’ve not carried cash in Canada for over a decade and a half.

The hell you carrying around?

Firefox always runs in the background on my PC also. I’m sure there’s a way to disable it, but by default it’s always there.

I’ve never had that happen. Either the US version of Windows is fucked, or people are bullshitting hard.

I guess a point for cars?

You mean checking 6 different Android communities across 6 different instances just to keep updated on what’s going on isn’t fun?

You mean seeing the same post on the front page of everything, posted across 30 communities, every damn day isn’t fun?

Either Lemmy needs to natively support it, or a third party app, but we need the ability to create multi-communities (like multi subreddits), so I can check all 6 Android communities in 1 tap.

We also need the ability to consolidate all of the same links/titles into 1 collapsed post, so we don’t have to scroll through the same news stories a million times.

Unpopular answer: you should.

Lemmy is already going downhill since the big surge. Even if you look at sign ups, numbers don’t mean better.

The entirety of Lemmy is too FOSS and Linux focused, and even trying to have a normal basic tech discussion about anything you’ll find yourself getting hate thrown towards you for not using Linux or FOSS. Lemmy users bully the crap out of Sync and Boost developer for asking for a few bucks to support development.

I’m only here because I got IP banned from Reddit, thinking Lemmy would take off. I don’t miss Reddit, but I’m a little sad I ruined my chances of ever being able to go back. Any new account is immediately permabanned.

Even if you stick around, I genuinely don’t believe Lemmy will be here by next October. All of these instances will see a decrease in users, decrease in donations, and they’ll shut down one by one. Actually, weirdly enough having everyone move to just a couple popular instances might keep Lemmy alive longer, as everything won’t be so fragmented.

I’d advise against joining any .zip or .mov instances, as many businesses ban those TLDs for security reasons.

I even have them banned at home so my girlfriend who works from home sometimes doesn’t get tricked.

Don’t worry, the freedumb people will find a way to bring it back stronger than ever.

These the same breeders that clip Yorkies tails with nail clippers (to save money) to make the Yorkies “more desirable”?

Breeders don’t care about animals. They abuse them to turn a profit.

It is the last one. It’s quite literally just an update to CS:GO.

They just updated the engine a bit, but it’s the exact same game.
