Making first past the post worse is a challenge. I’m proud of Americans for raising the bar of terrible voting systems

Yes, but since volunteering is a thing, they may think they’re in the clear. Doubt they are though.

Sounds illegal.

Parties used to get a bit of funding for every vote. Conservatives didn’t like that and they repealed it under Harper.

Now all they get is, I guess, pride?

In a riding where the other candidates don’t stand a chance, I vote for the candidate who doesn’t stand a chance but whose party’s values I like best. Like the NDP or the greens.

Doesn’t do much, but in a way, it’s freeing and I can pretend I’m free to vote for anyone.

If someone has a chance to beat the worst candidate, though, I’ll vote for the most likely one. And that’s the most depressing situation of all.

I really hate this voting system. But it’d take a miracle for it to change.

But like what even is a social media for women? I wasn’t aware the ones we currently have were for men

Unless your income is really low, look into FHSA. It’s a stupidly advantageous investment mechanism. It’s like RRSP in that it reduces your taxable income, except it doesn’t become taxable when you use it. (Although you can only use it for a real estate purchase.)

As for investing in Canada, lots of banks and financial advisors offer managed Canada-only investment funds.

Personally, I just go for socially responsible funds anytime I can. Lower returns, but it doesn’t tend to crash as much as the general market when the news talk about massive market downturns, and above all, it doesn’t come with the guilt of investing in weapons or fossil fuels. And well, even if it’s in the US, I really don’t mind investing into a company that’s not morally terrible.

Dang it. I had forgotten that most debit cards now have partnerships like that.

However, remember that debit card transaction fees are typically quite a bit lower (no exact numbers to support my claim, but for instance my hairdresser only takes credit for larger payments; small ones she only accepts debit, or she would just lose too much to the credit card company).

So you wouldn’t NOT support MasterCard/Visa, but they WOULD receive less money.

As for non-American credit cards, someone asked a similar question on Reddit and got technically valid but unsatisfying responses.

For instance:

Like, when they say “don’t encourage the US” people don’t typically mean jumping to Chinese companies instead. Not to mention UnionPay is definitely not as widely supported as Visa or MasterCard.

And while Japan isn’t exactly notorious for its human rights violations these days, I kinda doubt JCB cards would be very widely supported. And could you even get one if you’re not Japanese?

Debit card maybe?

Oof, sounds like we really need a new, better put together version of the protocol. I wonder if the W3C would be good to do that.

Sounds like the protocol needs an upgrade if people are doing funny stuff like that. No?

Aw. Wish that worked on mobile.

Ergh, I always ignore the lore anyway.

The trick is, you don’t flip it. You use an oven-safe pan, and when it’s almost ready on the bottom, you put it in the oven on broil. It rises to a fluffier texture and it cooks properly on both sides without much effort.

So… Many…

They will truly do anything not to admit the problem is cars

Perhaps. But the first and second points are allegations that would probably need to be proven in court. I’m not a jurist, but I’ve got a feeling it wouldn’t be so simple.

Eh, I hate nazis as much as the next gal, but I’m really not sure it would be lawful to revoke someone’s citizenship for political reasons.

Have you looked into becoming a nurse practitioner? You sound like you might feel more fulfilled with more medical knowledge and a job in more of an expert role.

They’re not communist fight communities explicitly though. I haven’t joined any communist-themed communities. It’s just content that kinda bubbles up left and right.

I COULD start avoiding everything “.ml”, but that sounds counter-productive.
