Likes: the small community, traditional forum vibe. No ads, no oppressive corporate hand to keep things advertiser-friendly. Interests and views tend to align, but I can have a healthy disagreement on many issues with most users here. Only a few famous borderline trollish users that aren’t fun to chat with, most overt trolls are quickly dealt with.

Dislikes: heavy use of downvoting simply unpopular opinions (a mild annoyance). Difficult to pick between posting in a rarely active niche community and a very active but general community (sometimes I just crosspost). The threat of centralization, with Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml having by far the largest communities (I would like to see more active communities spread across sites, though I make an effort sometimes to comment on different servers). Some big features I’d like to see that still seem far from implementation, such as multi-communities.

Yuru-kyara but for the pope?

Roughly how far (km, hours or towns over) is your nearest “Vkusno I Tochka”, former McDonald’s restaurant? Has the quality changed over the last couple years?

Good news for Trump, they’ve got an upgrade now, it’s called X (short for Xitter).

Illegal Immigrant: It’s okay, Trump isn’t talking about me he’s talking about foreign people not in the US. Make Mexico pay for the wall!

Temporary immigrant: It’s okay, Trump isn’t talking about me he’s talking about visa-less illegal immigrants. Those are the dangerous hombres, not me.

Legal immigrant/Permanent Residents: it’s okay, Trump’s team is only going to revoke temporary migrant visas. Those people need to go through the proper channels and suffering like I did, shortcuts are unfair!

Puerto Ricans who are literally Americans born and raised: It’s okay, I’m an actual American, Trump’s not talking about me! They’re letting too many immigrants from other countries!!

Puerto Ricans after they realize Trump thinks they are immigrants from another country: 😳

That’s great, get out, vote, get anyone you know who shows any revulsion from this political division to vote for unity. That’s how Dems win, the polls don’t dictate the elections, voters do by making the effort and taking the time to vote.

In contrast, Trump’s closing message is “I hope you like me and my group of people who constantly trash America’s name, because brown woman bad”

No worries, Trump’s your guy, Puerto Ricans. It’s just crass humor, look at how well he has taken care of you!

He wouldn’t hesitate to bring funding to meet Puerto Rico’s needs!

I think I encountered a bug, replied to the wrong thread… meant to be a comment for the above.

The wording makes sense, but resumé training I have taken has emphasized starting lines with action words that show where your experiences and accomplishments are.

Your election process may vary, but usually mail in ballots are in a certification envelope with your name, address, and often a declaration of eligibility, voter signature and witness. Digital methods may have a barcode encoding this information, easily readable only by an election official.

That identification can be used to trace your ballot if damaged/lost and to check for eligibility and that you only voted once.

The contents are then removed from the certification envelope and the secrecy envelope containing the ballot is added with other votes and anonymised.

Reinstate removals = restrict people again from voting who otherwise were able to.

Trained to use a variety of pallet organization machinery.

Handled a high volume of goods skillfully operating motorized forklifts

Good showing for NDP in Regina and Saskatoon. However, Sask Party has a convincing majority mandate from the rest of the province. I guess they want to keep the province in irrelevance for 4 years.

SK-NDP are in a good position for next time, now that they know the real battlegrounds to win and the resources they will be provisioned from the legislature.

I guess the BC election is essentially the same story with parties flipped. The opposition coming together in a surprise wave of momentum, the incumbent holds the majority but by a surprisingly close margin.

Is this the watch thread? Vote tallies taking a long time because the Sask Party likes doing things the Stone Age way, and also because there are fewer ballot boxes to make things harder for the cities, of course.

• barring an upset in Moose Jaw Wakamaw it appears the Sask party has it, but barely (est. 31 to 35)/61. A 1 seat above majority is still a very plausible outcome which would be a very weak majority with the Speaker selection.
• CBC projects Sask Party Majority at least 32.

Good news from federal courts for once, after all the news from the Fifth Circuit casting aside any semblance of upholding justice.

I’m not looking rn, and not that I plan to use it but actually I like it. Fight fire with fire in this case. I would like to confine it to firms using AI recruiting tools, I’d much rather just pass someone my resume in person or chat with them and do away with silly form filling.

Oh sure, next let’s have an AI open my Steam and play the games I want for me.

Seconding Philips. At HomeDepot the cheapest Philips bulbs are about 2.75 CAD each compared to 0.85 CAD each for the ecosmart and failure rates is under 1/5 the cheap brand for me. (Diabolically, the ecosmarts are cheapest when bought individually.) Philips’ dimmables are closer to $6 each but my dimmer switch lights use them and I like them a lot. My other lamps use El Cheapo brand because changing them out is quite easy.
