This. Canada first but let’s also support the EU and Mexico and Brazil and all the other places Trump is targeting. Turns out there’s a whole world of products - we just need to alter our trade alliances and tastes.

CBC Gem, Crave (owned by Bell), Britbox for shows - Qobuz for music (Fully French owned unlike Deezer which represents itself as French but is 45% owned by an American investment firm that donated to Trump’s campaign), and yes the high seas for what you can’t get at these places.

!CanadianSkincare@lemmy.ca is another community that is becoming more active

It’s not a lack of virtue, it’s endemic and chronic mental illness that isn’t addressed and which is worsened by excessive consumption of toxic social media like Reddit, TikTok etc - you are correct that crowd is likely not on Lemmy.

It’s been like this in some online communities since mIRC was popular. mIRC was not user friendly and people had to know how to access it, change servers, use commands. This seemed simple to me back then but most of my friends could not be bothered.

With Meta’s slop, TikTok, and Reddit being so easy people rarely step outside those bubbles anymore.

Be an actual person. Have empathy. Have sympathy. Stop listening to Rogan, Peterson, stop doing Wim Hof baths, stop taking T when you don’t need it - focus on life, see nature, see the destruction of climate change, stop wanting to “get yours” and enjoy money and material goods in this life without caring about what impact these choices have to those who follow. Talk to women as peers and not sex objects. Join groups where the focus is not sex or angry fight club bullshit and meet people and get to know them slowly. Go to third spaces like coffee shops or local events - get out of your room and step away from the keyboard. This has become very hard for people. And FFS delete TikTok and Reddit.

So many people have become introverted and focus on hate and allow their homes, apartments, and lives to wither in benign neglect as they go deeper down the redpill rabbit hole. See someone. Go to therapy. Get the medications you need not the ones you want (T, stims, PEDs) - exception being if you actually have ADHD then stims might be appropriate but many men who want these meds do not have low T they do not have ADHD they have profound mood disorders and depression.

Just like Trump is friends with…oh right…Putin and Epstein. Wait not the same thing :) “I have the best friends, the most beautiful friends, oh yes…when you hear about my friends you’re gonna love it”

Can this woman go away now? Her 15 minutes were up ages ago. Vote her out so she can go hang with her buddies Pat and Tamara and post racist rants to Truth Social.

Make sure they respect ALL the pronouns. In fact I’d like to see a plaque listing them on the front of the house itself along with a land acknowledgement and giant permanent Pride flag. And a vegan on site cafe.

Thank you so much for your transparency and for encouraging this community. Will be happy to do my part by engaging in meaninful conversation, posting quality content, and will make a donation.

…and to be clear, try to minimize the arguments I find myself in but hey can’t promise 99.99 uptime on that one ;)

Technically three since Videotron/Freedom run their own network but the coverage is so limited that you’ll be on one of their “Nationwide” partners most of the time outside urban areas which means Rogers or Bell/Telus (they network share in so many areas i always bucket them together even if there are places where they maintain their own networks and they do have separate backhaul but anyway)

Hahaha I know très intéressant right?

It smells like actual witch hazel which the Thayers doesn’t as it is rather diluted. True witch hazel vaguely smells of hot dog water for lack of a better term.

Eatthwise is a Canadian brand that does an unscented witch hazel hydrosol but it won’t have the glycerin and other additives in Thayers
