Form each of your hands into a circle. Rotate your wrists, maybe even dislocate your shoulder, so your hands rotate like bike tires continuously. Position your head like it's the handlebars. Never break eye contact. Smile so wide you have to unhinge your jaw, showing your gaping maw.
This tax was removed in 2014, 9 years ago. It was often called the "iPod tax" by those who wanted to remove it. https://macleans.ca/economy/economicanalysis/the-ipod-tax-is-dead-good-riddance/
Seems like you'd do great on the NonCredibleDefense communities ;)
Anyone have any opinions on names? Come up with a few:
- Defense
- WarRoom
- WarStudies
- ConflictAnalysis
- UkraineWar (maybe too limtied in scope)
- CredibleDefense (already a reddit community with same name).
Thoughts?
Thanks for taking the time to answer this. As a techy myself, I totally get what you mean about the audiences that have migrated to Reddit and why pro-Ukrainian discussion would focus on continuity.
Seems like the community would be smaller, but worthwhile setting up and seeing if people take to it. Just gotta think of a proper name, always the hardest bit, as I think mirroring reddit's separation of communities would lead to over-fragmentation here.
Hey, I'm looking for communities about the following topics. If they don't exist, I'm interested in creating them here. These may or may not be in the same community, I'm just listing the things I'm looking for, happy if there's any cross-polination.
- Ukraine war discussion. I do see one Ukraine@lemmy.ml, but it's unclear if that's their general Ukrainian discussion (like eg we have here for Canadian discussion), or about the broader war. Seems like the best one so far.
- Ukrainian footage and map updates
- Non-Ukrainian discussion on broader defense topics, like procurement, military industrial investments, new platforms or inventions.
- Combat footage.
- Something like the /r/CredibleDefense subreddit
If anyone knows any communities like this, or is interesting in starting some with me (name ideas? maybe WarReport?), please let me know. Thank you!
