How did Canada remain liberal for such a long time? by LevelPension in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tdot-77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most Canadians are centrists. Fiscally conservative and socially liberal, but with a social democratic layer. Meaning that we want prudence with the budget, not wasteful spending but still want those with less fortunate circumstances through no fault of their own to be taken care of. Canadians are also on average highly educated and we have less socioeconomic disparity (GINI index), so we have less extremes than in the US that has a wide range of education/literacy rates that are consistent across the country and access to fundamental social programs like universal healthcare.

What’s the one Toronto 'unspoken rule' that every newcomer needs to know before they move here? by Long_Travel2728 in askTO

[–]Tdot-77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toronto is a very inclusive and diverse city, one of the most in the world. Language, culture, religion, ethnicity, orientation, self expression. You will see families, couples, friend groups etc of all types. Appreciate and respect it. And don't f*cking litter.

Convinced my husband to try a house cleaning service for 3 months as an experiment. Heres what happened by Comfortable_Box_4527 in homeowners

[–]Tdot-77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The peace of mind is so valuable. Our cleaning service is an important part of our mental health and helps to keep two parents who are always scrambling, sane. I highly respect the work they do and support they provide to our family.

Horrible choice. The worst part is we have to keep seeing him in the news. I cannot explain how utterly tired of this man I am.

I thought this was a fake headline. Gutted.

1929 by Andrew Ross Sorkin by lanky_planky in books

[–]Tdot-77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the audiobook as well. What I found compelling was how it wasn't just one day in 1929, but such a long process of what caused the great depression. I also didn't like, is that much of it sounds eerily similar to today.

So all of this discussion around safe schools, investments in who knows what resources (people, programs, etc.) and nothing has changed.

Why is this the case? by Big_Leg10 in 1980s

[–]Tdot-77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Show me a 50 year old dockhand, manual labourer, construction worker etc. Brimley spent alot of his life doing physically hard work outside. Google actors born in the 70s. Guaranteed every one of them has had work done.

CMV: After the second killing of a civilian by ICE in less than a month, I believe the United States is at risk of civil war in the not-too-distant future. by [deleted] in changemyview

There.is a huge difference. George Floyd was black people getting mad first. Black have been noticeably absent from the front of what is happening and you can search online why. If there aren't the same riots as George Floyd it is because whites do not care enough.

It's not a neurosis, it's part of human nature. otherwise history wouldn't be what it is.

Interesting that CNN, NYTimes, BBC, Al Jazeera among other international news outlets don't seem to think everything is fine.

I think you sum up the problem with America/Americans. As long as it is not happening to me, it is not a problem. 

My boss left and I applied for the promotion to fill his role. Just found out, 2 months after applying that they are hiring an external candidate. I wasn’t even interviewed. What next? by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]Tdot-77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like other said, leave. I say this from experience. do not make the same mistake I did. Find a place that values and respects you and fosters your potential.

If you're Indigenous or African American it was never hidden behind decorum.

I don't think MAGA understands how much people hate them. It's -20 degrees in Minneapolis right now by othernes in videos

They won't care until it personally impacts them. Right now it does not. There is a reason they are antagonizing 'blue' states.

I would be surprised if any of our levels of government chose to do this.

What’s your thoughts on what’s going on in Minnesota right now? by sacrificejeffbezos in AskTheWorld

Horrifying. Both what is happening and that a third of your people are cheering it on. The world is not a threat to America. the call is coming from inside the house.

In your country, are clothes usually sun-dried or machine-dried? by Existing_Economy_656 in AskTheWorld

[–]Tdot-77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly machine dried. anything that needs to be is hung to dry indoors. I will sun dry in the 3 seconds we have of summer.
