I dread the day I need to take care of my parents to that degree. Parents in the burbs, neither of the kids drive. It's at least transitable and my parents were decent people. There's still trauma but it's healing.
Still, how do you balance work to pay rent with the need to care for ailing loved ones? Something's going to give when the boomers start becoming disabled en masse.
When we start talking to each other again without paid influence.
The troubles facing us all, middle class and below, are the same troubles. We need to practice working together locally to build something bigger before major movements are likely to work out. How do we rebuild community nonprofit hubs?
You need one of those toddler leash backpacks.
Are you a cheapskate or easily motivated by money? Set yourself a modest junk food budget for a month and track your spending. Set a financial reward for yourself (buy something you want) when you hit that target. Then set a lower target and a longer term reward. Forgive yourself if you go over, and don't give up.
Junk food is so expensive now that you'll blow through that budget in no time. Realizing how much this addiction costs you (like weed, smoking, drinking, gambling, etc) is often a great way to make the decision to kick the habit. Even if you can't stay within the budget, keep tracking your spending. The goal is to reduce if stopping cold turkey isn't your thing.
If this isn't for you, what everyone else said might work too.
Be warned, take out/ delivery on NYE usually takes 1-2 hours longer if you're in the city. Lots of cancellations too. It might ruin your evening.
If they did that, Reddit would just be an aggregator app of the Fediverse with different communities acting as a new subreddit. The difference would be that they'd have ads and algorithms.
On the Fediverse side, it'd be like having a lemmy.ml with 1000x the traffic and activity. We probably have to defederate to keep up with the traffic and the trolling.
On the plus side, 3rd party apps will be back baybee!
I'm sure Ronnie would be proud of the person you are today. Thanks for sharing.
Ladle. Big soup scoopy thing. Never remember this word. Terribly specific.
YouTube has more than 1 video for every human alive on this planet. I can't help but wonder: what is the value of all this?
Toronto might as well be it's own province, right? The Portlands Gas Plant on the lakeshore in East Toronto is the #1 emitter of GHG in the city and while operating at under 40% capacity. The Province of Ontario wants to expand the production capacity of this plant and run it constantly at max capacity. Thanks Doug.
Will this still be the case after the layoffs? https://www.readthemaple.com/cbc-union-says-it-was-promised-no-job-cuts-this-year/
Yellowknife has had a housing crisis for decades. Bad choice.
