Corporate taxes - at least in Canada, you can have a year end any day of the year.

And yes, some older tax preparers don’t work in summer/fall.

Honestly, Animal Crossing in the game too.

I think this is pretty funny but depending on your players, they might check all 3 for mimics! Some of us were traumatized once and now we are very suspicious…

Soft paywall - first article of the month with Vanity Fair is free.

I grew up in rural Alberta and now live in one of the big cities. I like it a lot. There are so many different people here from all walks of life. Lots on Ontario and BC transplants too!

It’s getting more expensive, but I’m glad we could still afford a home here. But industry keeps growing here, so we will see how long it lasts.

People complain about the traffic but I think most commutes top out at 1 hour here. Compared to what I’ve heard in Toronto, where many people travel 1–2 hours each way.

Weather is good - very sunny, we have seasons, warm winds break up the cold winters.

I think the politics aren’t unusual - the cities are quite liberal and the countryside is very conservative. Seems to be the same in other provinces imo.

Just like in any place - it’s mostly normal people living their lives.

I switched from Android to iPhone mainly for the iMessage capabilities. I didn’t have any other reason at the time, but now I’ve started adding in to the ecosystem (AirPods, and now an iPad). The integration is really nice and smooth. I do like how “user-friendly” it is - while I can use other platforms just fine, iOS is just simple and easy.

I didn’t, really. Just kind of ended up here and it’s not bad.

Bean counter.

Same here - I hope more female-oriented communities get going. WitchesVsPatriarchy, TrollXChromosomes, and all the chaos of the Netflix Cinematic Universe reality shows were a blast on Reddit.

I have found !witchymemes@lemmy.world so far!

 

Just found this instance and thought I’d do my part to help get things going. :)

At the moment, it seems to be, “I can’t poop for 3 days.”

 

Not sure how many people are subscribed to this community, but I think there’s a few of us out there!

I think every woman is forced to grapple with this question as they enter adulthood. What has been your experience? Did you change your priorities at any point?

Either cats or a vibrator.

Humans going extinct would probably be the most beneficial.

Canadian in a major city - yes, safe to drink right from the tap.

However, many remote communities here do not have access to safe drinking water.
