Twitter, etc isn't Canadian but it sure does has an opinion about who the Canadian Prime Minister should be.

I dont feel good about any of these social media platforms having a stake in this propaganda. Tik Tok, Twitter, reddit, etc...it's all the same to me.

Russia, etc will use any platform they can for this shit. It doesn't matter where the site is based. I don't think banning tik tok or forcing it to sell will change anything. Facebook will still be a cesspool of right ring propaganda.

The social media at home (ie Twitter, Facebook, reddit) have been manipulating all citizens into destabilizing democracy with all the right-wing propaganda and it is getting worse every day. I can go to Twitter any day of the week and see some slander in the "What's hot" section for any democratic/liberal leader while ass licking every conservative one depending on which country you are from. And the posts are mostly made by young Russian/etc bots. The problem is it seems to be working.

It's not just tik tok thats used for this shit. But the others are OK because they are 'MURICAN? It's a double standard. I'm not defending tik tok, but I personally think Twitter, etc need to be sold as well.

Trump is a bigger genocidal maniac than Joe will ever be.

My grandmother recently died and she prearranged everything, from where the service would be, to the coffin, to the plot and headstone.

I dread at what the cost would be if we had ti pay out of pocket for all of this. She had an open casket, will be buried with her husband, and so on.

It is a racket, with my dad we had him cremated and aservice and I think it was about 3k if memory serves.

Mods are a different beast and not representative of the game, devs, or player base. Mods like this often get removed from big modding sites like Nexus, forcing them to be mostly in their own spaces. (There is/was a bg3 mod overhaul that makes every black npc white, some lesbian npcs into men so they are straight couples, the ability to change your gender and lock it to the body types. Etc and so on. But you can't find it on Nexus. I remember the white Wyll mod but it got removed within 3 days)

It's another matter entirely when a developer bakes this kind of shit into the game. Not every game has mod support and not everyone mods.

I'm talking about the anime where the girls don't provide anything else, it's usually more an issue for shounen anime than anything, but slice of life often has this trouble too.

I'm also not saying all anime. But there's a disturbing amount of anime that doesn't have female characters, just boobs and asses that want to marry the Mc or call him a pervert.

I wouldn't remove the female characters from like Inuyasha or Rurouni Kenshin, but i would from Mashle magic and muscle because... the one female character does nothing in the whole show lol.

It feels so hard to stay away from anime like that these days. I honestly feel like the majority of modern anime would be better if it didn't have any female characters in it at all.

Yeah, I still browse reddit from time to time (mostly when lemme feed is dried up or I'm at my computer. I don't browse it for hours like I used to, though. And I haven't made a comment that wasn't on r/lfg for months.

Most of my feed is about Canada, makes sense, I live there. But a vast majority of it is right wing propaganda. Anti immigration, pro PeePee, anti Trudeau, etc. Every week a new right wing subreddit crops up.

Mexico has a large medical tourism industry. Mostly for dental but other things too.

You can go on a ferry and get a nice vacation in a fairly tropical area, and get your needs met medically and go home for less than it would cost in the states with insurance.

You make it sound like thats unique to the US and a foreign concept to the rest of the world.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean you won't face consequences of what you say.

US has the highest domestic violence / death by gun rates in the entire world.

There is no such thing as good guy with a gun. Look at the victory parade just last week. People with guns everywhere just ran away for their lives instead of shooting the bad guy with the gun they love boasting about.

The worst mass shooting in Canada in history was 12 dead. What's the worst death toll in the US?

The last school shooting in Canada was about 20 years ago, when was the last one in the US?

If this Australian couple had guns, 90% chance she would have been shot and killed by beer husband instead of whatever means he used. The police should have done their jobs.

That is the reality.
