There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

Co-op. Our credit union is a coop, we vote on policy changes and other things.
MEC (mountain equipment company outdoors store) used to be a CO-OP., you got to vote for the board and if there were profits they were split amongst the members via cheques. But something later happened around covid and the store was failing and sold out to an investor. Now it sucks and is super overpriced.
REI is a co-op outdoor store as well. I look forward to my dividend every spring!
