Totally agree with this one.

I drive an old 06 and I much prefer using the the physical buttons to adjust things like music, volume, air settings. Even prefer using it to back up and having to use my mirrors and look back.

My '18 vehicle is all touch screen, cameras,etc. While the a/c functions better and I don't feel like my fillings are going to fall out from all the rattles and bumps, I find there is a real disconnect. I am even asked by others why I lean over and look at the back window when reversing.

I work in tech and I don't trust tech.

Airbnb is a bane on our society and massive contributer to the housing shortage.

This company needs to get sued into oblivion with their shitty practices and non transparent charges.

No idea about recourse in BC, but in Ontario former tenants have a year after a bad faith eviction to go after landlords for moving costs and a year's worth of rent difference the tenant has to pay at the new location, there may be some other things I'm missing. Unfortunately, I think the max is up to 35k, which sadly may not even cover the cost in loses.l, but better than nothing.

I hope there is something like that there. greedy landlords are a big part of the housing issues we are experiencing. Too many landlords that operate like cowboys in the wild west. They need to be penalized.

Air&b is a plague on affordable rentals and housing.

This hits really hard for someone that experienced multiple years of anosmia.

Somebody would say something smells bad, and it really bothered me that I couldn't smell it.

Then when I started regaining a sense of smeel (post surgery) the smells I was able to pick up were always bad. The first time I could smell nice things like cooking, or perfume, I was elated.

Going from, I ate meat that was off because I couldn't smell it was off or really taste it, to being able to smell cooking was amazing. I will never take the sense of smell for granted ever again.

Not sure how to feel about this story. A relief for the family, but yeah, depending on what his status is when found maybe he didn't want to be found?

It's trying hard to be a feel good news story, but doesn't give any info on his status. If he was homeless and suffering from mental illness in the states, then of course it would be a good ending.

However, if he left to completely cut ties with family for whatever reason, then it certainly wouldn't be a good news story for him.

They will be reunited, wonder if that will be the case or if he will disappear again before that can happen.

I've always just enjoyed having drinks with Lenny regardless of the social media apps I used. He is a pretty good guy, doesn't judge much which is great for conversations.

Funny enough, while having a few duffs with Lenny, we got to discussing reddits recent changes to 3rd party APIs and we both agreed it was going to be a bad discision long term. So Lenny started talking about Lemmy, and said I should check it out. I did once my reddit 3rd party app didn't work. So it was actually Lenny that converted me to Lemmy. He's a swell guy.

And she didn't. And mostly men around america make it a massive political issue. I'm not condoning the length of time it took her to decide.

But I'm also not conding your response saying she had x amount of time, avoiding my inquiry about the ability to not be a good parent. What's worse? A small amount of time for a fetus, or a lifetime when the kid boils to death in the car cause mommy wanted to go shopping?

Quit wishing misery on birthed children all in the name of a life. It doesn't work that way.

If it was her body her choice, and she had education about it, or possibly free access to birth control, this might not have been a story. Sadly, it seems America is walking backwards with women's reproductive rights.

I'm not going to get worked up about a woman aborting her fetus for whatever reason. Make all other options more attainable and then it's a conversation to have, but not really. If I found out my wife would have a higher than average statistical chance of dying while giving birth, she could make her choice. My preference would be, let's just try for another and hope it doesn't put her life at more risk.

This isn't the case here, but how about we throw pitchforks at the penis that impregnated this young woman? It does take 2.

Let's be honest here.

How long do you think that child would last being parented by someone who wanted their child aborted so they could wear their jeans again.

Abortions should be easily available to any and all women, in every state.

I don't agree with their decision making length, but if abortion wasnt such a fucking touchy subject, the woman probably would have done so as soon as she found out.

Her body, her choice.

Men and politics need to get the fuck out of the way.

Hi, I'm a reddit refugee. Just set up an account and am using Connect app. It took me a while to stop unlocking my phone and slecting the rif icon, muscle memory is pretty weird thing.

Very new to this as I'm sure many others are. Finding my feet, and am looking forward to creating new muscle memory for this!

Was thinking about that aspect as well.

IMO, this is a legit protest and concern. If it was some billionaire whose body was dumped in the landfill, you can be god-damned sure the place would be searched piece by piece.

Imagine trying to say, it's out of our control, best we can do is pile more garbage on those remains.

Maybe there is some way to swing it as a indigenous burial ground and have the politicians actually put pressure on investigators to investigate.

I hope the city riots if there is even a mention of physically removing the blockade. Address the real issue.

Good. Imagine Canada spent millions searching for a poorly built underwater capsule with a few billionaires on it but can't be bothered searching a landfill for 2 specific bodies, and quite possibly more. Reconciliation my fucking arse. I hope they get more support and exposure, this has been going on way too long already.

Sounds like they were highly motivated to make the world better. Oops, guess they weren't. Just profit driven whores like many other big disaster companies in the world.

Anyways, there always nuclear power.

Just start saving when you are born and if you save enough you might be able to put a down payment on a house when you are 40 and qualify for a 90year mortgage.
