I got a plastic straw at Tim's for the first time in like two to three years. Is the single-use plastic prohibition thing not happening anymore, or is this just a store using old plastic straws they had previously purchased?

Because according to this, "The Single-use Plastics Prohibition Regulations remain in force" until a decision is made this year.

Just don't take statements like that personally. Majority of my friends are guys and we all acknowledge that we've met many other guys (unfortunately) who fall into the category of "toxic men".

It's annoying if every time someone wants to make a statement about a group of people they need to specify that they don't mean the group in it's entirety. Eg. queer men have a problem with hookup culture. The average queer man will not be offended if they acknowledge that this is indeed a problem in the community- regardless of if I am part of said problem or not.

On the other hand I can understand why seeing such statements could be upsetting if you consider being a man a core part of your identity. The best way to prevent comments and blanket statements like these, is to reduce the rate at which the sort of situations that lead to them occur like you said. Because just like you're venting right now, they're probably just venting their frustrations as well. It's honestly very concerning how much nonsense women and especially girls go through.

Long story short, unfortunately this is an issue you're just going to have to deal with until the world figures out some way to dismantle the patriarchy. At least majority of these statements are online so it might be easier to ignore them ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Thanks, the comparison site looks pretty helpful.

 

I don't know if these types of posts are allowed here, but does anyone know any websites or something where I can find a summary of different politicians' policies, plans, etc.

Most of the stuff I hear through news and social media focuses on personality (which is definitely an important deciding factor), but I want to see what changes they have planned for the country and stuff like that.

I just recently became a citizen and want to make as informed a decision as I can for my first time ever voting.

Alright, thanks for the help y'all. Guess i'll make 2 or 3.

 

I know you can use a single login to subscribe to communities from other servers, but are there any advantages to having an account on each server compared to having a single account connected to communities on other servers?
