In North America, most major mainstream news companies are owned by right-wing or right-leaning corporations. In Canada, I think it's literally all of them.

Lmao...the other comment chain had a more accurate answer..

Whoops, that went over my head. My bad. I don't know if you can blame me given your server though! Haha

That's not the right answer. You'd think someone from lemmy.ml would know a bit more about this topic...

If you want to be the best person, offer to cover a babysitter (if you're able).

The "good and just God" is just going to make it up to all these people in the infinite afterlife, and inflict eternal suffering on the perpetrators!

/s but some people genuinely believe this

Negative: Worse driving interactions (as a pedestrian/cyclist), especially post-covid.

Positive: People are generally more accepting of things, and people seem to be more comfortable sharing parts of them that make themselves different from the "norm".

Not sure why you got downvoted, but buy and download is key to GOG games

Gotta ask. Do you really think this community has a list of pornographic actresses names and automatically filters posts with them?

Aside from that, ChatGPT isn't a reliable source of information, and probably can't tell you much about another source's reliability... especially on a topic like this.

How does Auditory Processing Disorder do that?

Of course, you'd then be paying monthly enough to cover a water heater's entire replacement in one year! Haha

They're in the business of providing (expensive) peace of mind. Not the business of providing good value for money.

Ontario, Canada. They're elsewhere in Canada, but seem most prevalent here

Survival Kids is freakin' cool!

Thank you for sharing. I don't have direct personal experience with a rental water heater -- I was thrilled to find out the place I bought was built before it became the norm, and none of the prior owners got duped into getting a subscription.

Subscriptions suck. The only exceptions are if you literally have too much money to care. But most people don't have the money to throw around like that.

Where I live, there are water heater rentals. It's essentially a hardware subscription.

They're garbage.

For something that needs minimal maintenance and will last at least 10 years, you can rent for the price that you'd break even if you had a new one installed every 5 years.

People will pay thousands of dollars to have the privilege of throwing out the water heater and getting out of the contract. And then pay to buy a new one they actually own.

But some people like it because, yes, if there's a problem, they come and fix it for you. Or give you a brand new water heater. That you've already paid for two or three times over!

how Microsoft couldn't afford to keep creating e-waste

23 years later, they seem to be affording it quite well! Haha

There are probably some you take for granted. It would be exhausting to be in constant awe at the wonders of the modern world! Haha

What is boy pre salting?

I've given up on Purolator.

I just contact customer support/the seller and tell them all the steps I took (filling out my complete address, and on the day of, contacting them with my buzzer number), and tell them that I didn't receive my package despite being home all day. I also didn't receive their "sorry we missed you" sticky note anywhere. And no missed calls for the buzzer.

They often try to tell me the package is at a pickup point...I tell them that that's not the address I entered into their system, it's not the one that you put on the package, and you need to tell Purolator to send it to my address, or they're going to return it to you/the sender.

This worked for my $1,000 package, thankfully. It didn't work for my ~$50 packages. So that got sent back to the sender and I got a full refund. And I won't be buying from them again unless they stop using Purolator.

Meanwhile, Amazon will drop off $200 packages at my doorstep without a signature -- the way I want it! Lol

Purolator said they needex me to print out a form saying I authorize a drop off without a signature. I told them the driver is never going to see it because they don't enter my building's lobby let alone come up to my apartment. They said to do it anyway and it'd be fine. When I told them it said missed delivery again despite me following their instructions, they stopped replying to my support ticket...lol

Gatekeeping food, of all things? Lol
