Canada@lemmy.ca•Telus wants CRTC to bring back phone locking to prevent theft
39·5 天前Fuck Telus.
And Rogers.
Oh, and of course Bell.
Canadian telecoms are parasites operating as a collusive oligopoly. They need to be destroyed.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Republican bill aims to punish Canadian provinces with U.S. alcohol bans
5·7 天前Alberta put it back in a matter of weeks, because Smith is a Trump-loving traitor.
Curioys how it’s actually selling here.
Carrots. Good carrots are so much sweeter than story bought.

Music@lemmy.world•Taylor Swift fans ‘sickened’ after ICE contractor attends weddingEnglish
222·8 天前MacKenzie Scott may be the exception to that rule.
Or she may be shitty in ways we don’t know yet.

Politics@sh.itjust.works•House Democrats accuse Trump of 'hijacking' America's 250th birthday for his own gainEnglish
02·9 天前The Democrats have consistently sat on their hands while doing nothing. They could have him arrested and charged with war crimes ir treason or endless other things, but they haven’t. They could have impeached him. They haven’t. They could have fought him down, they could have slowed him, they could have fought. Instead they’ve been wringing their hands, writing memos, and saying ‘just you wait until we’re elected!’

1·11 天前Nobody gives a shit what that fascist traitor says. Except, perhaps Carney.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Carney says Trudeau-era climate plan was 'too expensive' and 'divisive'
54·12 天前Can someone remind me again what we avoided by electing Carney instead of Poilievre?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Has anyone ever actually had their vehicle tabs stolen?
12·14 天前Apparently tabs are tags.
Alberta got rid of them eight years ago or so, but before that they were extremely one-use items. Super-fragile with an incredibly strong glue. You could NOT have remove them with a razor blade and the precision of a master jeweller.
Besides, annual registration is what - 80 bucks? Not worth it.
The presence of a laugh track is irrelevant. The necessity of one for people to find the show funny is a different matter.
This isn’t new.
I stopped watching TV in the mid-90s when Star Trek TNG turned out to be a disaster, and there was nothing else good on.
Most of the shows from that era (Seinfeld, Married with Children, Malcolm in the Middle), are about horrible people being horrible to each other - with a laugh track! - or about unrealistic people behaving in ridiculous ways (Friends, I’m looking at you!).
Sitcoms are rarely funny, but that’s a long-standing tradition. Shitty and/or cringe-inducing behaviour rule the time slots.
Because in addition to racists, homophobes and bigots, separatists are misogynists?

CanadaPolitics@lemmy.ca•Byelection clock ticking as MPs officially resign. How does it impact Liberals' majority?
2·21 天前I would LOVE to see Carney lose his majority. I think the NDP could make some gains and be the hand holding the government’s leash.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Years without fluoridated water show pattern of tooth decay experts warned about
9·21 天前Calgary was facing a big infrastructure cost to update our EOL fluoridation system. Three counsellors drove the charge to get rid of fluoridation entirely: a ‘stop all government spending!’ con, an anti-science earth mother type, and a progressive who kept screaming ‘we need to address dental care as a societal issue!’
And so we saw tooth decay climb for a decade. When we finally decided to put it back in, the cost was higher than the initial upgrade plus a decade of maintenance would have cost.
Idjits,

Enshittification@slrpnk.net•Google Invests $75 Million in A24 to Develop AI-Powered Filmmaking Tools
7·22 天前A24 did such a spectacular job of totally fucking up the rerelease of Stop Making Sense, to the point that I have no expectations of decent action from them.
I don’t know anyone who disinfects their blades, or generally takes them out between shaves. Just rinse the razor in hot water and hang it in a stand to dry.
Different blades work for different people - hair, skin, sensitivity, and technique vary, so try a dozen different blades and decide what works best for you.
After 30 years of different products, Henri et Victoria have become my go-to for soap. They make great shaving stuff in general, and have a vegan option.
As you get more comfortable with your razor, pay close attention to its angle to your skin.








Don’t do it.
As a general rule, this is a terrible idea. If there are exceptions, it’s clear from your comments that thus is not one of them.
This entire desire is to boost your ego - to validate that your unrequited ‘love’ (crush) made her life better, because you’re such a great guy.
Lwt it go, and grow up a bit more.
