Only in a few select shit democracies can a company push back on a government entity trying to do something so basic as to provide decent tax filling mechanisms

I’m placing my bets on piped video instead, for now at least. YouTube needs something more tragic, like getting acquired by Elon Musk, before it bleeds for real.

A much serendipitous coincidence: one of the economists that won the Economics Nobel Prize

for pioneering research that showed an increase in minimum wage does not lead to less hiring and immigrants do not lower pay for native-born workers, challenging commonly held ideas

is Canadian!

My retirement dream is to setup a crow box to train these fellas to pick up cigarette butts and trade them for peanuts. A decade later, hopefully all Vancouver crows will be primed to attack smokers to steal cigarettes.

At this point I’m just holding for dear life to piped.video, because illegal front-ends are my only hope to keep watching YouTube.

Perhaps writing like a normal person instead of a theatrical character could help not getting into mods nerves lol

First Nations blessing is a bit of a gray area because they are not necessarily performed as a religious practice. Instead of a prayer, it’s interpreted (by those present) more like a First Nations representative formally acknowledging that the decisions about to be made are made with their participation.

It’s a cultural complexity that elders are often also seen as religious leaders and they’ll often speak in religious terms, but their blessing is foremost under the guise of a representative - not a cleric.

As for a regular Christian prayer… its sole purpose is a ritual for those in that religion.

So really it’s just a polite way of saying “yeah you better be thankful.”

lol that escalated quickly

When I hear “you’re welcome” the only thing I think of is that I’m welcome

Firefox is just the only decent option. And while at it, use Piped or Invidious while you still can, people!
