Have any of these countries tried being nice? I see a lot of sticks and no carrots.

thats what RES does-reddit enhancement suite on firefox. I combine that with adblock, ublock too. I go out of my way to make sure I mever see any ads anywhere I go, usually reddit/youtube.

I came here after they banned third party apps. No way I’m browsing with ads on their shitty app. RES still works fortunately but I’ve grown to really like it here. Haven’t touched reddit in a year or so.

I wish they would be more creative, such a boring word.

exactly, those memes were top tier back in the day

God I miss wallstreetbets.

You don’t need to know french at all outside Quebec, that province is kind of like its own country (IMO). Source: live in Ontario with family in la belle provence, I’ve spent a fair bit of time up there. That said I still love Quebec its beautiful. My spanish is better than my french haha!

oh thats fun! I’d love it if we shored up manufacturing and logistics to boot so we’re more self-sufficient. That would be expensive but could be a great investment in the long run if we do it right

I see the current situation like a playground. we cant just ignore bullies but we definitely don’t have to play with them! Theres lots of other fun groups to hang out with! It sucks that the bully has singled us out to pick on us and is trying to take our lunch money but we can just tell him to fuck off! That will make him super mad but thats what friends are for!

I don’t blame them, I’d be pretty salty too if my government fired me after years of service and someone offered me a bunch of money for my expertise.

I’m in full support of cutting off from the US entirely and branching out on our own to hang with the rest of the world. Life is too short to be so angry all the time, best way to play this game is to not play it at all and start your own club.

Just out of curiosity has anyone ever attempted outright using financial instruments as weapons of war? Like a sovereign nation outright purchasing ungodly amounts of puts or shorting an entire nation? Is that a thing?

I’m wrapping up schooling for med lab/MLT and I’ve found charts and repetition to be my best friend. If I have a bunch of antibiotics or blood products to remember I group them, come up with memory tricks and acronyms, then lock my self in my office and spend a few hours with coffee and snacks just staring at my notes and burning everything into my memory. I find that 3 is the magic number, meaning I need to go through and fully understand my notes 3 times for the information to stick. The mind palace technique works too. I also like to do a little extra research, I find that fully understanding the mechanism and purpose of why I am even doing something helps but thats just me, I like to start out with the tiny details then zoom out to see how all the puzzle pieces fit together to make the big picture.

At the end of the day just find a technique that works for you, flashcards help, associations, diagrams. Best of luck!

quick! grab more gasoline, we gotta put this fire out!

Is it too much to hope this little spat somehow crashes the housing market and this generation can finally own a home? that would be so cool.

cheers to that.

I don’t know what to even think anymore. Our neighbour wants to invade us but all our talent just ends up moving to the states anyway (at least in my industry) since they can make way more money. Housing is fucked, wages are fucked, and what does buy canadian even mean? from lablaws? fuck that, everything is a monopaly up here from groceries, telecoms, everything! What does it even mean to be canadian anymore? At least we’ve got our principals, I’m glad we’re pushing back and taking a stance but I hate the direction this country is headed. Things are bad and theres no end in sight.

27% seems a little low.
