It’s because there’s a lot of farmers there. Weather is very important to farmers. Need rain, but not too much, alternating with sun, but not too much, and it can’t be too hot or too cold.
Weather is important when your livelihood depends on it.
What are the legal implications of doxxing a person here? I can think of a few people I’d like to slap on that list, but it doesn’t seem risk free for me.
It’s funny how innocuous stereotypes sometimes get popular like that. In ten or twenty years that stereotype will have been repeated by the current generation so much that the next generation will find it offensive.
“ADHD are just people with normal impulses, but more frequent and less able to control them”
I mean that is a pretty good description of it. The impulses aren’t a neurodivergent trait, it’s the frequency and reduced ability to control them that are neurodivergent.
I mean it’s an objectively worse writing system. All caps printing is the most legible, and as writing is a form of communication, clarity is paramount.
I’m also very surprised no one has started calling it racist yet because of it’s origins and which demographics historically used it. “Linguistic prescriptivism” is racist now, but handwriting is still A okay.
The sentiment isn’t even true unless you’re in an urban center or in Europe.
Small town North American women love muscle dummies. There’s fuckin swarms of them in my town. Go to the bar and the only men there are roided up muscle dummies with swarms of women rallying around them.
It’s just fuckin wrong. Plenty of stupid women out there who just want a hunk of meat for a boyfriend.
Google hits a paywall. On the heels of a deal struck last week between Ottawa and Google, the search behemoth will pay Canadian news publishers $100 million/year for the privilege of hosting their content.

No I’m talking about the legislators. And you’re right I shouldn’t say “we’re”, because I never want to be associated with those crooked shit sacks.
Our legislators put all this effort into this, and half the population seems to support it now, but at the end of the day it’s just another subsidy for the rich.
Just because the money doesn’t come from taxpayers doesn’t mean it’s not a subsidy. The government spent time and effort to pass legislation that benefits the rich monetarily. That is a subsidy. That the money does not come from taxpayers is a detail they expounded on to win over public opinion, and it worked. People used to be against this.
If a watch is working but its time deviates from the actual correct time by one second, that watch will never, ever show the correct time. It will always be off by that one second.
A broken watch, on the other hand, is guaranteed to show the exact correct time twice every day.
Therefore broken watches are more useful than working watches.

backed up by the threat of violence against anyone who doesn’t play along.
Every political ideology includes that. What good are rules without enforcement? Just because the enforcers are supposed to be random individuals in some ideologies doesn’t mean the threat of violence for not playing along is gone.

simply because driving a car for 10 km to a farm for a bag of apples (or whatever) is a LOT worse per apple than the traditional container-on-ship->container-on-rail->semi-truck->local store supply chain which has a few times the fuel consumption of a car
Uh. Do you think those semi trucks are bringing apples right into people’s homes? Guess how far the grocery store is from people’s houses lmao
That argument only works if every citizen in the country lives in high density, transit enabled city cores.
You have to spoil your ballot of you want to not vote in protest.
Every ballot that is cast is counted, even spoiled ones. But if you don’t cast a ballot at all, it cannot be counted and no one will ever know of your “protest”.
The only valid way to protest by not voting is to spoil your ballot.
In my experience people who are this utterly devoid of consideration are not only unable to change, they will get angry at you for suggesting they’ve done something wrong.
A trick I found with my little cousin was to pretend to think about it for a minute. I’d say "ummm … " and furrow my brow and be quiet for a few seconds. It creates this little moment of suspense which makes the answer seem more desirable to her.
