Lol. We have ~3 grocery stores and everyone knows they collaborate to rip us off. I'd take food off the list.

It's been a while since I checked, but I think Vancouver was the most expensive city for a while in terms of property values and rent. Nowhere is as cheap as cheap US areas, and southern Ontario is close to Vancouver. It should be getting a bit better, but that's because the government went into disaster mode to fix it.

The healthcare and water are legit, though.

A pretty long track record of high-quality journalism. Same as the BBC.

Sure, they're owned by Qatar. As of last I checked it serves as more of a status symbol than a propaganda outlet, though, at least in English.

I like how Nichole's last message to Lemmy was just a bunch of crypto wallets and some lame, one-sentence excuse for why we should fill them.

I mean, you could call it strategic, or you could call it relying on substances as a crutch to manage your emotions.

I'm not saying that's always bad, necessarily. There is the school of thought that it's just a tool, like in your edit. But, it's important to remember it can become a habit.

China is not the West, haha. There's a reason we're suspicious of them.

Clearly, the BBC made it all up. Because it contradicts them. /s

Literally the newest top-level comment right now.

From overcharging just a little bit for everything, collaboratively. (In that case)

That's why they're doing so well.

Canadian grocery stocks have been going up like absolute gangbusters lately.

If we had competition, the prices would get run down anyway by people trying to expand their market share.

If.

At 12 I kind of doubt any mind-tricks are required. If the kid wants to cuddle why not?

Yeah, I remember reading it and thinking it was funny in middle school.

Is it actually?

And honestly, most of Lemmy is already pretty close, haha.

I might actually prefer winter all year if it wasn't for that pesky "growing food" thing.

It's both.

Interesting. Are there workers that cater specifically to women (going by your username)?

Yeah, OP has since clarified they meant that more literally than I expected.

Unless you're in Europe that's even more sex-touristy than Thailand. Nobody crosses continents for windmills, but lots of people like Buddhist architecture, beaches and sticky rice.

It's regulated prostitution in the Netherlands, at least, and sex work is work.

I’m not saying anything bad about the country I’m just saying if you want to visit you probably don’t have the best intentions.

I want to visit. Not for sex.

I wouldn't jump straight to sex tourism if there's no other red flags, no.

I have family connections out that way, I am aware there's lots of other great stuff around.

I've never had a guy tell me that exactly, but I've definitely encountered people (drunk people? I feel like I'm remembering a drunk guy going on about it) who have mentioned regularly going to Thailand and who make me wonder.

I'm not talking intimate, close confidants here.
