Seriously? I'm being down voted? Why?

Because you are being a hypocrite, and espousing pretty much the opposite of what conservatism stands for.

Conservatism is all about the upward flow of wealth, from the working class to the parasite class. Why else would conservatives defund social safety nets yet also cut taxes - but only for the wealthy? Even the recent “axe the tax” movement to cut the carbon tax will hurt working-class Canadians, and provide a financial boon to the Parasite Class, who are being hurt the most by the carbon tax.

In no single jurisdiction on the planet are conservatives “for the working class”. They are all about corporate interests; killing off unions to benefit the wealthy and powerful, re-implementing child labour, eliminating safety laws that protect workers, and doing everything to make the rich even richer at the expense of everyone else.

You want to protect working-class Canadians? You want to fight against corporatism? You want a healthy ecosystem for your grandchildren to enjoy? You want a strong social safety net that promotes healthy and strong communities? You want stronger worker protections and healthy wages that let everyone flourish, and not just the Parasite Class?

Vote NDP. Because they are the only party trying to do this.

One of the really popular subs - with hundreds of posts per day - cracked down on bots and nothing was posted for two days afterwards. ~~Can’t recall which sub it was,~~ It was WholesomeMemes. I caught wind of that a few days later and it was truly a ghost town. Even now they’ve only got something like 5% of their pre-bot-ban traffic back - about 4-6 posts a day.

Now let’s see if they have any connection to PeePee’s campaign.

Because of capitalism. Because all content must drive quarterly profit ever-higher.

Meanwhile, public broadcasting (PBS) is still putting out great content for families regardless of profitability.

Jake Sully did this in his Avatar body during the Assault on the Tree of Souls, after Turuk Maktow put him on top of Colonel Quaritch’s Dragon command craft.

And yes: very, very cool.

Almost all guns that can cause hearing damage (with repeated firing) without a silencer are still going to cause hearing damage despite that silencer.

It just takes a few more shots to accumulate the same level of auditory damage.

That’s how loud shots are despite the action of silencers. Silencers exist to protect your hearing when you likely only need to fire off one or two shots at most… with such few shots you can avoid the conspicuousness of hearing protection while getting that hit done.

That’s why I put that term in quotes, and was specific about default networking interfaces. I didn’t go into detail because that confuses a lot of people.

Sailors on the ship then began finding the STINKY network and asking questions about it.

Oh, c’mon. it is trivial to make an SSID “hidden” for any networking tech that you have administrative control over. That way, only those “in the know” will know the SSID name to type in, in order to access said wireless network. It would not be “discoverable” by standard wireless-connectivity gear such as the default wifi interface in mobile phones.

A vegan that ~~keeps cats~~ allows cats outside isn't exactly approaching the situation from a purely vegan-based mentality.

There, FTFY.

Absolutely nothing wrong with cats that are 100% indoors, not only do they have no effect on the wildlife, but their lifespans are something like ⅓ to ½ longer due to the lack of accidents or conflicts.

The moment your hair cells leave the pores on the skin of your head

Even before that. You pull a hair out, and if that specific hair follicle was still growing you should see a teeny-tiny bulb at the very end. That bulb can be up to a mm beneath the skin. The widest part of that bulb is where the hair cells begin dying and drying out. By the time it shrinks down to the width of the rest of the hair (and long before it emerges from the pore), all the cells in that section are dead. Only the base of the bulb has living, growing hair cells.

I have watched more than a few of his CBC pieces. Where employees and work-life balance are concerned, the man is toxic AF.

I mean, sure; if you are looking to become obscenely wealthy his attitude makes a lot of sense. But not all of us want to become parasites sucking the lifeblood out of other hard-working, working-class Canadians. Some of us just want enough to be comfortable, because smelling the roses and enjoying life is more important than spending a lifetime grinding to accumulating “stuff” only to die without having enjoyed any of it. You can’t take those obscene levels of wealth with you when you die, and all that accumulating those “brownie points” do is impoverish those from whose labour you coerced and forcibly extracted it.

 

This happens both on a feed as well as within a thread.

Happens both on my direct instance as well as on a random instance out there.

I go to scroll, and there is a nearly one-second pause before the screen jumps to where I have scrolled. If I start very slowly, there is no pause, but I am talking about an unreasonably slow start to the scroll.

Working with an iPhone 15 Pro Max, hardware limitations should not be in play here.

Working with the latest version of Avalon.

Curious if I am the only one.

 

When I bring up an image by itself, I can do a long press on the image and get the app Safari drop-down interface (see attached), which gives me (along with other tools) the option to download the image to my camera roll or to copy the image for pasting elsewhere.

Unfortunately, the Avelon app blocks this action entirely.

If there is a workaround, it gives no indication as to what it is, forcing the user to thrash around and discover the box with the out/up arrow in the lower right.

If there is a way to whitelist this behaviour, there is also no way to inform the user on what setting they need to adjust.

At any rate, this is a noticeably frustrating suboptimal UI/UX, and should be addressed.

 

This is why Galen West is a card-carrying member of the Parasite Class.

And yes, I confirmed the no-shipments, zero-stock with the store manager. 5 days and counting with no stock so far, when the sale started there was maybe 12-24 bottles for 128,000 residents in the city.
