Pic semi-related; one of my better tulip stacks. I don't often think to take pictures of my latte art, and even if I did my current spot is usually too busy to take the time for proper photos.

I know tulips are somewhat basic, but aesthetically they're definitely my favourite kind of latte art.

C'est tellement un changement drastique, juste en 7 ans! C'est incroyable que d'autres municipalités peuvent voir ces résultats et continuer leurs politiques axées sur maximiser l'efficacité du transport automobilier au détriment de toute alternative possible.

That's such a drastic change in just 7 years! It's incredible that other cities can see this data and just continue on with their pro-car policies that prioritize motor vehicle efficiency to the detriment of any other alternatives.

Seriously, "most modern songs"? In the era with the most new music being produced in a massive number of different genres and styles that would have been unimaginable just a generation ago?

I like the oldies as much as anyone else, heck I only really got into listening to music after discovering The Beatles and '70s prog rock as a teen. But if you can't find good music being produced in 2025, that's not a problem with the music industry, that's a problem with you.

If anyone reading this struggles to find new artists they like, I recommend checking out NPR's Tiny Desk concerts as well as KEXP's live performances on YouTube. I've found a lot of artists I love from these sources.

Say what you will about the country, I have my fair share of criticism regarding Canada and would agree that we are, on the whole, cringe. But our flag? It's a good flag. I don't care what you think.

I relate really hard to this comment. My mother, for all her faults, truly seems to believe the best in people, which I do find admirable. Shortly before retirement, she worked a few retail jobs, where she thrived and loved getting the grumpy clients. She said trying to make them smile was always her favourite mini-game at work.

As much as I hate most people, that mentality has translated into my work ethic as a customer service employee. You never know what someone is going through, and unless you actively make the staff feel unsafe I will try my best to make your day a bit nicer.

You're mistakenly assuming the attributes are binary, stuff like screen resolution, regions, languages all have many possible values to help narrow down and identify you. It really doesn't take that many for you to be identifiable.

You don't need 5 posts a day for a community to survive here. There's not that many people on Lemmy, things are a bit slower paced.

I mod !bicycles@lemmy.ca and we'd be lucky to have one post per day, yet I think it's still a relatively healthy community, with a decent amount of engagement on most posts.

This just made me imagine a modded Civic but with rockets.

Honestly, knowing people who mod Civics, I wouldn't be surprised of this has already been done somewhere in the world.

J'te jure, la façon dont certains anglos vénèrent la famille royale ça a la même énergie que les weebs pis leurs waifus.

Oh King-San, please reign over me 🥺👉👈

J'ai aucune idée pourquoi t'as partagé ça dans la communauté Canada, mais c'est exactement le genre de trivia niaiseux que j'adore apprendre, alors merci!

The Canadian flag is not a "bog standard three stripes" design. It even introduced a new vexillological term; the Canadian pale.

I don't understand why you think the maple leaf, a symbol which has been associated with Canada ever since there was a "Canada" to speak of, is "cringe".

The Canadian flag is a vexillological masterpiece and I will die on this hill. I wouldn't bother dying for my country, but I would for its flag. It's instantly recognizable, simple yet symbolic, and honestly such a massive glow-up from the previous Red Ensign flag.

You want to see a cringe flag? Look at this atrocity:

I used to be pretty active in my city and province's subreddits, and while there were occasional assholes everyone was mostly reasonable.

I went and checked my city's subreddit the other day and it has gotten substantially worse since I've left Reddit two years ago. It's all people posting the same trashy racist rhetoric about immigrants. We used to post screenshots of those same takes from the local FB groups to make fun of those idiots, now the subreddit is those idiots.

Your comments would have been fine in answer to someone seeking support for porn addiction/dependency, but it's completely irrelevant in a tech community on a post about people circumventing silly restrictions.

You clearly came into the thread with a specific agenda which was irrelevant to the thread's topic, and spammed the same comment in multiple replies. What did you expect? I don't even entirely disagree with your opinions about pornography but do you seriously think this was the best way to communicate your point?

From Wikipedia:

In a symbolic act, activist Abbie Hoffman vowed to levitate the Pentagon. Hoffman claimed he would employ the use of psychic energy to levitate the Pentagon until it turned orange and begin to vibrate, at which time the war in Vietnam would end. The event was accompanied by Allen Ginsberg leading Tibetan chants to assist Hoffman. While levitation did not occur, the act served as a powerful symbol of the protesters' opposition to the Vietnam War.

Have you tried updating your BIOS? If your PC allows you to boot from a USB :P

Yeah, shitpost, that's what I said!

Gone into the wilderness to escape from the woes of modern capitalistic society, yet unable to escape the coping mechanisms used to survive the rat race. Trapped inside the addiction, a smoke and a coffee to wake up, a toke and a drink to pass out, in an endless cycle, just to blur the daily toil into a barely-tolerable disassociative carousel. Even the moments of leisure have become a task to accomplish; have your pittance of a vacation, stressing about how tightly scheduled you are, stressing about how much everything costs, stressing about the mounting responsibilities pilling up awaiting your arrival.

I dunno man, I think it's just a shitpost.

I won't lie though, judging from how much of the litter where I live is cigarettes butts and packs, there seems to be a rather large overlap.

Add people who drink Tim Horton's coffee and that's a solid 80% of the litter I see.

(Am smoker, will carry smelly butts rather than throw them on the street)

I think context matters. My queer friends and I will call each other the f-slur, but I wouldn't use it at a family supper, for example. Likewise, I think the tone is different using "gay" in a queer meme community versus in a serious discussion on a news community.

"That's how they do it on 4chan" is probably one of the worst possible justifications for one's behaviour.
