We're cooked...
  • That's actually really cool, surprised I didn't know this

    I reckon this will come to Canada soon too. Trudeau used to go to metro stations and just say good morning to people on their way to work after he won first term. He doesn't do this anymore for obvious reasons

  • People younger than 30, what advice would you give to people over 30?
  • I just turned 30 and I am pretty sure a woman is not worth it if she does not provide you peace at home and is constantly looking for drama and conflict. Spent my youth chasing lost causes

    As a guy at least in my experience, whenever I leave home I am faced with constant criticism and I have come to the realization that I simply do not have the capacity for it at home as well

  • Why is my Twitter feed full of right-wing content when I don't consume political content?
  • Yeah thats why i opt for low effort comments because even if you're right you're downvoted, thanks for doing the typing cuz I wasn't going to

    Lemmy community is garbo. Leave it to a bunch of terminally online folks who don't go outside explain how to connect to the internet in the middle of the canadian wilderness lmao. Like that one dude is from UK correcting me as if he knows fuck all about satellite internet

  • what yall think is the most wildest subreddit you even been to
  • Well lets not exaggerate here, at least half of the people in /r/canada are real people haha

    On my reddit account I was banned from /r/onguardforthee and from /r/metacanada and /r/canadaleft are literal morons so I was actually posting in /r/canada a bit. I think lots of people wash up there because the moderation is intense on alternate subs

    /r/canada has really relaxed moderation and I still appreciate it for that

  • AOC Backs Biden Amid Growing Calls for Him to Drop Out: ‘He Is in This Race and I Support Him’
  • You can read my thread about the completely random ban lol. I prefer reddit greatly over lemmy, it's just way more chill.

    I was banned because I was on reddit for 12 years via adblocker/script blocker without ever spending a dime or installing the app. Accounts like this get flagged by reddit admins and they'll just wait until you break the TOS in any way and claim that's the reason for the ban. Reddit admin are certified morons and it's just sad. I mean you won't believe me but I was actually one of the good guys lol

    I firmly believe lemmy in its current form is leftist 4chan. As soon as I get a new public IP I'll just go back to reddit, it's basically zero fun to post on lemmy

  • AOC Backs Biden Amid Growing Calls for Him to Drop Out: ‘He Is in This Race and I Support Him’
  • It's a valid criticism. I rage deleted my 1.5 year old lemmy account for this reason just a few weeks back. Lol

    Then I got randomly banned on reddit so I'm back here.

    It's a lot better to just turn off downvotes in the settings. I wish it was like that by default because I think it's the biggest factor preventing lemmy from growing right now. It doesn't really matter what you say, people downvote here, it's basically just leftist 4chan

  • How could I order flowers for someone in Poland, as a Canadian?

    I have important people in Poland but I can't speak polish and I'm not in the EU.

    In the past I've failed at calling local flower shops then bank transferring the money. Things are lost in translation and it's been awkward 2 out of 2 times now.

    There must be some middleman I can use. I could ask the recipient in question but I want it to be a surprise obviously.

    Any ideas?

    Shouldn't BC residents get priority on the ferry?

    Why are BC residents at the mercy of tourism when we literally use the ferries to live? Ferries are completely unusable in the summer that I just plan my life so that I don't need to go the mainland and I think that's unfair. You know, considering we pay taxes for this shit.

    Edit: Just want to express my distaste for the lemmy community yet again. I posted this as a "change my view" sort of thing and you all just downvote it into disappearance. There are very good comments in this thread that real people put effort into. If you disagree, simply don't vote at all. I didn't break any rules. This behaviour is what prevents this platform from growing.

    Perma banned for 'inciting violence' with no previous strikes on 12 year old account

    On a discussion about a revolution in Canada I merely suggested that there are no resources to protect the rich in the event of a revolution breaking out.

    I even went on to explain I can't even kill ants though so count me out.

    Perma banned for inciting violence, appeal gives you 100 characters to explain so I won't bother. How do you appeal a site wide ban in one sentence?

    12 years of contributing to IT communities and it's all gone, that's what I'm upset about.
