Honestly that would explain the similarities between religious superstitions and the things people have admitted to believing as a child on ask Reddit.
We need enough people to agree on both a vehicle and a direction.
-
There are a lot of people dissatisfied with the current government(s) but don't agree how to create change; be it through the current system, major modifications to the current system, or even more severe changes.
-
There are a lot of people who don't want wide spread poverty/suffering, but don't agree on how that problem should be dealt with; be it through universal income, massive public projects, or wealth taxation and better competition regulations.
IMO we need a new digital/decentralized/open-source/transparent 'social media platform' that can replace the current easily manipulated electoral systems.
We need ideas & policies to be independently actionable from the partisan politics that afaic specifically exist to mitigate change and maintain the influence of money in policy.
Bullet Proof Your Knees & Unlock The Explosive Power Of Your Soleus Muscle With These Mobility Standards

According to this guy these mobility tests/exercises can protect your knees.
Also increasing ankle flexibility allows development of the Soleus muscle, which he claims has the strongest pull of any muscle in the body.
I've had bad ankle mobility for years and noticed an immediate improvement in range after just 1 set (on either side) of the first exercise demonstrated.
This is the resource I got them from.
Lots of interesting history; including a couple photos of the internment camps Canadians confined Japanese immigrants to during WW2.

I got a cat at 18 for the same reason I don't want kids lmao. I like kids. I also like dogs. But I like leaving the house for more than 8 hours more and for that you need a cat.
Yup. They just got their satire lessons from the same place as Babylon Bee.
Its worth noting that they had completed "15 to 20 contracts previously" and that they had negotiated previous contracts via text message. This process became the norm during the pandemic.
In other words it's within this context that made it agreement... not that thumbs ups can universally be used to agree to contracts.
They really pulled a spez on this one.
Glad to see the reddit tradition of just commenting without reading any of the source material is going strong /s
But for real my dude. You got a problem with chemicals in your meat? How bout those crazy steroids and antibiotics they pump your chickens/cows full of so that they don't die of disease before maturation/slaughter? What about all the chemicals in the low quality feed they give the animals? Or the processing to increase shelf life?
The beauty of this technology is that it avoids all those problems as well as their chemical solutions. It uses mitosis, aka the same naturally occurring process all cells use, to grow meat in an isolated environment that disease cannot thrive. Meanwhile we can use genetic modification to improve the quality of the protein. The end result will be healthier, more sustainable and have a significantly longer shelf life.
And this technology is only going to improve.
"Canada's policy is to bring new immigrants in using the little savings they have, use them as cheap labour in order to prop up the otherwise failing economy, giving back as little as possible, until they are frustrated enough to leave."

French Revolution: May 5, 1789 – Nov 9, 1799
Turning off the internet/social-media will only throw gas on the fire grease on the guillotine me thinks.
I feel like we're basically waiting for gen z to grow up and start running for the positions held by gen x / boomers.
Bandaid solutions like increasing the number of foreign workers aren't working and the cost of living is hitting insolvency. The older generations are realizing their retirement savings isn't going to last and the younger generations are finding no place for them in this late stage capitalism.
It would be ideal if grassroots movements were able to put in younger and better representatives in these immediate coming elections. But sadly I think we're stuck on this course until it's consequences start directly effecting political class individuals' ability to participate in government and retire.
CCP as in China? I think the moral problem with China is when they intimidate/manipulate people who genuinely wanted to be Canadians. We've also let them skirt our income qualification rules pretty much putting them in the front of the line for property sales.
As far as direct election/policy interference yea it's definitely north american right wingers and their russian troll-farm agitators/boosters. Reddit in 2016 was infested with corroborating pro-trump accounts that were clearly just one person with several users.
I hope things continue in the direction of having 3 or 5 major parties in parliament. The reason our politicians are so low quality is because of lack of competition. It also makes it exponentially easier to use money to influence government policy when you only need to buy out one party.
I'm really not sure how I feel about this. Up front it seems like a bad thing. But from a broad perspective we've been spoonfed information via google for too long and it's made us complacent. The culmination of things like C-18, oversaturation of advertising and ai generated content, plus the potential degradation of reddit, might actually bring us full circle back to when individual websites were more relevant.
Than there's the element of sites going down. Redundant conversations serve as a form of backup.

I have no clue what happened here. I posted this once 2 pints in and didn't pickup lemmy until today. Wake up and see its reposted 15 times. I don't blame everyone for getting pissed off lol
I'm having difficulties deleting the duplicates. Sorry all.
Obviously lemmy.world did that. I certainly didn't.
I think you're right. AFAICT my original comment remains adjacent to it.

Is It Just Me Or Was The So Called Prequel Hate Non-Existent??
Every time I try to discuss my disappointment with Disney Star Wars I'm met with the argument that I'm just the sequel version of the prequel haters.... Except I literally never met or heard of a single OTs fan that hated them. The closest I ever heard was criticism of the clunky dialogue between Anakin and Padme. I'm sure it happened but I never even heard anyone gripe Midicloreans... until after episode 7 came out.
Thank You Everyone For Rejecting The Fascists/Bigots At The Door
After years of reddit/twitter/facebook propping up fascism/bigotry with algorithms & bots I'm honestly surprised and relieved to be in an online space that clearly rejects their ideology.
They can have reddit/facebook/twitter. AFAIC the only way to reach some of these people is to leave them alone long enough to realize on their own.
Lemmy.world admins are doing an amazing job dealing with everything. Their recent decision to defederate from exploding heads (or whatever its called) really goes to show that they're in it for the right reasons.
