Rookie numbers. 80 cars is nothing to a billionaire.

I don’t follow the different narratives.

I was under the impression that 99% of all media was owned by evil Conservative Right-Wing conglomerates that have been stretching and bending the truth to deliberately mislead the general public.

Why would the Conservative political party be against that same media and prevent them from telling their polished, half-truths?

I’m originally from the UK but moved to Canada when little.

Fall is my favorite season. I LOVE cold, dark, rainy days. My entire body just feels relaxed.

Summers here are getting hotter and hotter, with long stretches of 30c where you can’t do anything.

Winters here are either painfully freezing with face-cracking winds or giant dumpings of snow that make getting around impossible

Fall is a nice blend of cooler temps, a little rain, a little darkness, a fresh start with kids gone back to school, just generally pleasant as long as you don’t have to clean up too many fallen leaves :)

I’ve only been able to cut sugar by eating less as a whole. That means intermittent fasting (first meal at noon). No food/snacks after dinner. Going to bed early. If I’m craving something sweet, I’ll have A PIECE of candy or HALF a can of cola. I personally really like the taste of Pepsi Zero Lime and Dr. Pepper Strawberries and Cream - but as a Canadian, those flavors aren’t readily available here.

“quitting” sugar, like any other addiction takes time and requires a lot of discipline. Make small changes that you can be consistent with and stick with it for a few months. Soon you’ll notice your body adjust. You’ll have more energy, your cravings will go away, you’ll become sensitive to the taste of sugar like how non-smokers are sensitive to the smell of cigarettes. Your only regret will be wishing you had started sooner.

Good luck!

I’ve noticed ‘the algorithm’ pushing Russian content through Instagram and Facebook reels. Seemingly unrelated to what I usually browse.

The opposition parties don’t have real leaders. Ford won because everyone else was so weak. They had zero personality, zero charisma and zero ability to unite voters.

Is it normal? Yes. Is it healthy? No. I wish I spent my younger years focused on building myself rather than worrying about things out of my control.

Find yourself. Find what motivates you and makes you happy. Learn to be happy on your own. Learn to be confident without the validation from others. As you go through that journey, you’ll run into similar like-minded people and maybe some that you’re actually attracted to (lol)

It’ll happen when you least expect it when you’re focused on other priorities. Hope this helps.

Ford is getting high on his brother’s crack stash again. He pulls this ‘for the people’ act to gain public support. Then once he’s sitting pretty he’ll start doing the bidding for his wealthy friends for kickbacks.

Don’t believe the hype. Ford killed millions of people during Covid. He slashed healthcare and public education and environmental protections while his friends got richer

The problem is Canada needs America to be strong. We are stronger together. So the idea of “taking down America” isn’t smart.

The entire world benefits from a strong America.

What it doesn’t benefit from is a wannabe dictator sociopath rapist who doesn’t play by international rules.

As a driver, I used to be a bike lane hater. But then I moved to the suburbs. They benefit both the driver and the cyclist. They keep everyone safe and help traffic move along.

The worst is when a bus or large truck has to suddenly switch lanes to avoid a cyclist sharing the road. That greatly slows down traffic and creates an unsafe environment.

We don’t get many cyclists out here but we have bike lanes now and I think that’s best for everyone except Doug Ford and his cronies 🙃

You can’t rationalize with crazy. You gotta beat crazy with crazy.

I bop to Kidz Bop.

Ontario Liberals and NDP propped up Wynne (incumbent), Del Duca, Horwath, Stiles and Crombie against Ford and overwhelmingly lost. It’s incredible to me how Ontario can’t find a strong, charismatic, left-leaning leader that can beat Ford in a popularity contest.

The question was “What type of stuff are you buying off Aliexpress?”

I started responding with “toys, cleaning supplies, phone cases, etc.” And then I noticed I was responding to a post on ** Aliexpress@programming.dev**

So I felt like my response wouldn’t be as helpful or would be off-topic because I was responding on the programming.dev instance.

Right? That makes sense right? LOL

I start to respond to a post or comment that I see on NEW. I finish and right before I hit post, I notice the instance/server is completely unrelated to my response and I deleted my post :) - It’s an added nuance to Lemmy that takes some getting used to.

209 Billion seems like a lot but it’s not in comparison to their overall wealth. Us poors need to stop celebrating their financial losses.

You can still browse and your comments still remain up. But you can no longer post or comment further. I’ll still get upvotes / replies to old comments. I just can’t respond

Done! - Thanks!

My kid is slowly growing out of Bluey and that makes me so sad. I LOVE the show. So smartly written. As a dad with mental health issues, the relationship the parents have with the kids gives me something to strive towards. Can’t say enough.

I pulled the hydrometer out of my cigar humidor to became more aware of the dampness of my basement. I also spent over $1,000 on evicting a family of raccoons out from under my backyard deck. So yeah, I get it HAH
