Maybe not everyone agrees with me that this is a bubble, but at least I feel like I am with like minded people and can be pretty sure that what I consider to be hateful shit will be downvoted, and I'm happy being in a space like that.
At the same time, I don't really blame people that don't realize they're in an echo chamber (whether here or on Reddit or anywhere), it's just social media working as intended.
What got me about it, having watched more of the clip now, is how after he 'misheard' and said "I'm aware", so much of the crowd started chanting his name. Like how are they not seeing this is what left-minded voters want.
I've always been an NDP voter and it sucks to feel like I have to vote liberal this time but it would feel so much better if they could just fucking come out and say it. Enough is enough.
Omg I've been looking for a good rat one on Lemmy, it's so hard to get a fix now. I don't have rats and probably never will but they are just the flippin cutest.
I have very little debt and no savings, but a 10k gift would only pay for like 2-3 months of living. That's not enough for me to sell out my fellow countrypeople and give up my most basic rights.
Hell even a million wouldn't be enough for me to agree to be American at this point.
I'd like to point out that you're in this mess because the US system has failed its citizens so badly that addiction is rampant and there is little to no social support for mental health or people experiencing poverty. Not to mention that your government provided those guns to the mexican cartels AND played a huge role in causing drug addiction in the US in the first place.
I have said it before and will say it again, the demand for drugs comes from WITHIN the US. Fix your social support systems and stay the fuck out of everyone else's business.
Everyone should be required to take Plain Language writing courses.
There's a lot of factors at play as to why more people prefer it now, but who cares really. Writing in plain language makes it accessible for everyone and doesn't hurt anyone.
Other than the crippling economic crisis it's putting us through, I really like that things in the grocery store are better labelled to show they're local or Canadian now. I've always preferred to buy local because it's better for the environment, now it's easier.
Idk about the states but where I'm from common law is also 6 months and generally is considered if people are living together as a couple for 6 mos. then they are technically in a common law marriage. They can make the claim on taxes or health insurance benefits whatever other claims and it is legally allowed.
Two roommates who don't claim that they're married anywhere legally are not in a common law marriage.
Same sex marriage is legal in my country so I assume this rule applies to any couple living together.
I enjoy work to the extent that one can enjoy something they're forced to do. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Would I choose to do a million other things with my time if I could? Sure. But there's nothing wrong with liking something even if it's not your preference.
This has pretty much always been the case. Americans have been sticking Canadian shit on their luggage forever cause they know we are better welcomed generally.
