I have learned that SO MANY coffee drinkers don't understand that certain teas have to be brewed at certain temperatures. They take green, black, white, jasmine and brew all of them into boiling water!

Anyways, I do not get this coffee vs tea feud. I drink it all, sometimes even in the same day, and I thank my ancestors for discovering leaf in hot water and bean in hot water both taste good.

I genuinely don't know what to do while reading news about Palestine. Donations don't help if the food isn't getting through the blockade, the biggest powers of the Western world seem to be in support of or turning a blind eye, and I as a citizen halfway across the world feel absolutely helpless as I watch children willfully being bombed and starved to death.

I got mine done by a clinical psychology master's student supervised by their professor. It was half the price (and my insurance ended up covering 40%), no GP referral required. If anyone reading this has a college or university near them, check if they have that option. Added bonus is that the students are usually more up to date on current diagnostic criteria compared to someone who has been practicing in the field for a while.

I also get my dental check ups done at the university dental school for the same reason.

Ewww people actually use Threads? Last time I saw it, it was like LinkedIn 2.0 filled with sigma grindset "chase that bag" crap.

I wish I could tell you, but I failed all my fascism math courses.

While this is true, I don't think advocating of "punching fascists" is on a policy level, but rather an individual one.

Why would ask a trans individual to respect the "human rights" of someone that doesn't even see them as human?

Cannot believe I'm living in an era where Alberta is more separatist than Quebec.

No one who has any political awareness would give the liberals credit for that. That was the NDP’s contribution.

A lot of voters aren't aware. If it's not being blasted on repeat by a news channel, then at least 50% of the electorate has no idea what's happening. We're also so inundated with American politics that Canadian news gets drowned out as well.

Yeah, I was 95% sure it was an NDP mandate, but I also have an awful memory so I was open to being corrected.

 
 
 

I love interacting with you all very much, and I know there's a lot of important political issues in the world going on right now. I love my Linux Mint setup, I support Palestine and trans people, and I've blazed through all of OG Star Trek, TNG, Voyager, and am now on DS9.

But I also want to discuss Luka to the Lakers and Kendrick calling Drake a pedophile and getting 5 Grammy's, a tour, and a Superbowl halftime show out of it, you know? I wanna talk about your country's Eurovision entries. Am I just not in the right communities?

 

American Tiktok users would rather use ACTUAL Chinese spyware app than Meta. XiaoHongShu (meaning "Little Red Book") and ChatGPT (for translating the Mandarin only app) are currently #1 and #2 on the App store.

 

This is not my personal opinion, I know Gen Z men who voted for Harris. But the voter demographics really speak for themselves, and maybe now people will look at the radicalization of young men as a serious (but solvable) issue.

 

I posted on asklemmy the other day asking for advice on how to catch a stray cat, and I am now posting the fruits of my labour. Huge thanks to everyone in that post for taking the time to give me step-by-step instructions, telling me their own experiences with strays, and just being concerned about both mine and the stray's wellbeing!

Here he is at the vet for a check up after I caught him. Honestly, he seemed so happy to be indoors and somewhere warm and safe that I teared up a bit! He is currently in my garage sleeping on a heated cat bed and couldn't be more content as I try to figure out next steps.

 

There's a cat that has been loose on my street since May apparently, but only came into my yard Thursday night. I tried to catch it, but it bit me and ran away. Someone has also shaved it for some reason, and I want to catch since it's getting colder in the evenings. I saw the cat last night too was and was friendly to me, but it had a bit of a cough, so I'm worried. Didn't see it tonight, and it's really cold and windy.

A couple of my neighbours have been feeding it, but no real effort in trying to trap it or check to see if it's microchipped. I want to take it to the vet and see if it has an owner/check for diseases. Apparently the cat likes dry food over wet, so I don't think leaving cans of wet food will work.

Any advice given from experienced pet owners/ trappers would be helpful.

 

"...For Nvidia, after this latest run-up took it north of the $3T milestone, the company is being valued at more than $100M for each of its 29,600 employees (per its filing that counted up to the end of Jan 2024).

That’s more than 5x any of its big tech peers, and hundreds of times higher than more labor-intensive companies like Walmart and Amazon. It is worth noting that Nvidia has very likely done some hiring since the end of January — I think the company might be in growth mode — but even if the HR department has been working non-stop, Nvidia will still be a major outlier on this simple measure.

We are running out of ways to describe Nvidia’s recent run... but a nine-figure valuation per employee is a new one."

 

I know this is more business than tech related, but for some reason I am not able to post it to the business community, so I'm posting it here.

The Verge published this spam article about the "best printers of 2024" to demonstrate how terrible Google's search results are. It now appears as the top non-sponsored post if you search "best printer" on Google.

I love a good, informative troll.
