I had the same experience with OSM maps years ago, but you've convinced me to give it another chance. I'm looking forward to seeing if it handles public transport in Vancouver as well as Google Maps does.

Could be, for sure. I may try to post some things from Lemmy.ca to Kbin later. I was successful in posting from Kbin to Lemmy.ca a few hours ago, so I wonder if there's a problem in the other direction.

I'm not particularly concerned with how "the kbin user base" looks or any silly tribalism like that tbh. I'm just wondering if/why the issue might be happening. If the string doesn't appear in the git repo, that's a useful data point for sure. But plenty of people are confirming that something is going on, so the questions as to 1) what is causing it and 2) why are still out there.

Lee's is basically the sweet spot of flavour vs affordability for me. I can't speak to Cartem's, I don't have the money to justify the cost.

Nope, I can't risk not being fully aware of my surroundings.

Or -- and I hope this sinks in one day -- it could be that using terms like "delusional" and "coward" to describe people you disagree with is a great way to convince people that you're not a jerk worth engaging with. Which is why they block you. Like I am now.

Interesting background to the facts of the deceased person, which leads me to suspect that the story of his death will also be of some interest.

If all you can do with an honest answer to your question is insult the other person for their perspective, then don't be surprised to find yourself blocked on here by a lot of folks pretty quickly.

EDIT: So I peeked into your very brief post history, and sure enough you're already complaining about people being "quick to ban or block" and "debate meeeeee." So while I know you won't accept this criticism, let me assure you that your comment above provides nothing of substance to debate. You're being blocked by people because (1) you're being rude, and (2) no one owes you their attention, much less their content.

Personally, I mostly post from CBC because I find it to be a regularly published source of reliable news. If you like others, post others and see how they're received.

I know avocato is all the rage this year but I'll always find ducknana more appealing.

I don't know. There seems to be some openness on Mastodon to bots that are properly labelled as such, in my experience. I'd say open a bot account here and use it to give the crossposting a shot. Anyone who doesn't like it can easily block the bot account and move on with their day.

Yeah yeah. My only point is that this is messy as hell, and not about to get any tidier.

The two student loan cases from Feb. 28 are going to be interesting from a standing perspective. I'm not putting money on anything, but I think a finding of standing in Biden v. Nebraska is a stretch under the Court's last 4-5 decades of standing jurisprudence. But they may bend over backwards for the litigant who's ineligible to have his loans forgiven in DOE v. Brown. If there's standing for anyone in either or both cases, the loan forgiveness program is probably toast.

Don't forget to hit the CTRL button when clicking on any external links so they open in a new tab. Basically pretend it's 2012 again.

This whole thing has become such a mess. It made sense to me to keep RCMP to begin with, but either way, at this point I'd just love for the whole mess to be over one way or the other.

Gorsuch is a mixed bag at best on a lot of issues, but he has been as good as anyone could expect on Indigenous issues. Check out his concurrence in this case (starting on PDF page 43), which straightforwardly grapples with the history of forced family separations and residential schools.

For sit-down or coffee, generally 20%, as I've done for years. Not going to go up to 25%, and it'll take bad service for me to dip below 18%.

Slightly different for delivery - I'll usually do a flat $5 if they're nearby and I'm just ordering a meal for me and my partner. If we're getting a lot of food, I'll add to that.

If I order takeout food (not coffee), I don't tip at all.

There's a pretty good YouTube video from this guy out of Toronto (I think) who talked about these a week or so ago.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

(I'm partly kidding -- there are a ton of communities I'd like to see carry over from Reddit to here, but I don't bother because I don't have bandwidth to be a mod. So I get it. But if you have time, feel free to make the communities yourself!)

A good reminder not to let one's intrusive thoughts win
