- Comment on How did the gun buy back program work did you get a gift card or cash or something? How effective was this? Did this even make a dimple in crime? 19 hours ago:
In Canada I believe you just get given cash but nearly all of our gun violence is done with illegally smuggled guns from the USA (maybe we need a border wall? 🙂) so it doesn’t have a huge effect on it. We generally have sane laws regarding firearms so gun violence is relatively low already though.

Yeah, I hate when that happens too

I mean, you can get pharmaceutical heroin and pharmaceutical meth and while you’re not going to experience quite the same levels of harm since it’d be pure and clean, the addiction will still deal the same damage as the street stuff

Polysubstance use disorder yay! It’s legitimately harder to fix than a single substance addiction IME

Could they not have just put a lazy garden or something in instead…
That seems like a lot more work and expense

We hage designated parking spots for these in Ottawa (Canada) that’s not limited to any one company and it works pretty well. I own an e-scooter but I’ll still often rent one if I dont want to park mine somewhere

It sorta makes sense on overly censored social media platforms but what, that’s an article on their own personally managed website? That’s bizarre

Ah, good point actually. It’s been a long time but I remember now that keeping it good actually required freezing it in tinfoil

It’s actually possible to do this so I’m genuinely curious how many people would end up tripping. How many people would be willing to lick a random street flyer and how much LSD would you have to soak it with to let more than one person trip?
- Comment on Dumb bitch 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, but then again my Mum (boomer) and grandparents (silent gen) are left leaning, Palestine supporting/donating Canadians. Then there are people I know my age on the cusp of Millennial and Zoomer who support Israel and while not conservative are extremely politically ignorant
- Comment on Dumb bitch 2 weeks ago:
It goes back to my original point though in that attacking other working class individuals based on birth year is just counterproductive infighting.
The fight needs to be brought to the rich and powerful who have had the opportunity to solve climate change and other global issus but have chosen instead to enrich themselves further by making it all worse
Of course, talk shit about any fascists you know as they all deserve their teeth kicked in but a boomer you see on the street could just as easily be a lifelong environmentalist hippie as they could be a fascist - just as anyone from any other generation could be (especially Zoomers for some unholy reason)
TL;DR is fuck billionaires and generalising is bad

Which government?
- Comment on Dumb bitch 2 weeks ago:
Okay, but so can a lot of boomers. Still expect to see memes about how you didn’t do anything
- Comment on Dumb bitch 2 weeks ago:
Generational infighting among the working class only serves the wealthy and corporations who are who we should actually be angry at.
In a decade you’ll see memes blaming your generation for not doing anything and can you actually point to anything you’ve done besides creating a meme blaming boomers?

AI has been better than this for quite some time now. I honestly miss this era of AI-generated images though. It was always immediately noticeably AI but created some absolutely vile Cronenberg-esque abominations that I’d consider a genuine art genre on its own. Now we just get realistic but slightly uncanny slop

I don’t like AI but christ Lemmy is getting annoying lately with kneejerk “slop” claims for anything with the letters AI in it. A lot of this stuff has been used for ages and yeah, they’re leaning into the current hype but the over reaction is just ridiculous (see: the “open slop” list of open source projects that includes those that have the audacity to allow developers the ability to use AI line completion)

Nah, you guys should form your own country though. We’d prefer to not adopt your MAGAs and even your left wing is concerning

For the Australianisation of Canada, I’d take it. Nigara Falls is sort of a Vegas wannabe tourist trap anyway outside of the falls themselves

- Comment on What's the point of specifically Americans identifying with other cultures if people born there will just make fun of them for it? 5 weeks ago:
The trope is that the USA has no history of its own and so its people latch onto the smallest scraps of foreign heritage as a way to give themselves some cultural context and cachet.
I think this is fine in a vacuum but what gets really annoying is the simultaneous claim of being superior to any other nations and ignorance of the cultures they claim to be
