Because it’s easy. You don’t have to think for yourself if you let someone else do it.

A patchwork of things has helped me acquire and maintain a more balanced life. I’d say the largest contributor was adopting ‘radical acceptance’ as a way of life. Basically, I’m constantly, consciously accepting whatever is happening to me. It doesn’t mean I don’t try to change things but it means that I’m not always resisting everything.

For a lot of people it does have to be that way though. I just saw an article claiming 7 million Canadians are struggling to put food on the table. They can’t really decide to take the more expensive climate friendly way. A billionaire could absolutely decide to do that though.

Horse shit. No one gets that wealthy without making some anti climate decisions. That class of people have the power to make significant sacrifice for the better while normal folks have the power to make very tiny sacrifices.

Not saying we shouldn’t all be doing our best but at this point in time the ones with power are steering the ship.

Walking hands?! 😂

Feels like a lot of culture creep. Some of these wing nuts talk about the first amendment as if we have that here. Some of them also seem to think that our Prime Minister has presidential powers. I think the “fuck Trudeau” flags are a rip off of the “fuck Biden” flags too.

Lucky for me I can’t afford a new car anyway. I’ll just keep driving my unconnected car.

Isn’t apple shifting to production in Inda?

How do you go about getting an invite to one of these holy grails?

“Percentage grades make it possible to differentiate between good work and excellent work more precisely than vague descriptors such as ‘emerging’ and ‘developing,”

This is a dumb take. No one in grade k-9 needs more specificity than the four labels coupled with teacher input. I suspect the people who are against this change are simply against change.

BC has an NDP premier.

I’m a parent too and I agree with you for the most part. I’m woefully under qualified for this job and I’m very grateful for the professionals and other adults in my youth’s lives. We’re very much missing the ‘village’ part of raising kids.

I guess not. I just went to their site out of curiosity. I couldn’t find any policy statements. Just a vague mission statement type thing.

Update: they have a policy document from 2021 under their ‘governing documents’ heading on the website. The document doesn’t address this issue at all.

Totally thought I was going to get Rick rolled

My hands are cramping just thinking about using it.

I had no idea call of duty was such a big deal. It’s not my jam so I never notice it.

Getting shot at is bad for your health, got it

I’m a casual follower of politics. If an article like this pops up on my (formerly Reddit) Lemmy home feed I’ll often give it a scan.

Maybe someone who pays more attention can correct me but it seems that when PP makes a statement that’s conspiratorial he’ll refuse to answer questions about it. Am I wrong about that? Does he ever answer difficult questions or even try to dodge them without a script?
