Is the one in the bottom left actually called "No Need YT Ads"? Cause I can't find that one

Online "convenience" fees can fuck right off. Absolutely unnecessary cash grab and an outright scam.

On the one hand, I'm glad this editor has ethics.

On the other hand, I'm upset because I'm pretty sure the next editor is going to be a pro-whatever-the-owner-says sockpuppet

Coward cops doing cowardly things.

Partisan prosecutors propping up their Republican buddies.

Justice for some in America, like usual.

Typical victim blaming behaviour.

This is a shitty take, and you should feel bad.

"My clothes are not my consent"

"My looks are not my consent"

Huh, interesting. I just looked it up to get more info, and this is kind of a bum deal that municipalities are "given" power by the province, so they just have to eat shit on getting it right or wrong, and then can potentially be overridden by a zealot like Ford anyways. Awful...

(from https://www.amo.on.ca/about-us/municipal-101)

Municipal Government

The powers of municipal governments are determined by the provincial government. Municipal governments in Ontario are responsible for providing many of the services within their local boundaries that you rely on daily such as:

  • Airports
  • Ambulance
  • Animal Control and By-law Enforcement
  • Arts and Culture
  • Child Care
  • Economic Development
  • Fire Services
  • Garbage Collection and Recycling
  • Electric Utilities
  • Library Services
  • Long Term Care and Senior Housing
  • Maintenance of Local Road Network
  • Parks and Recreation
  • Public Transit
  • Planning New Community Developments and Enhancing Existing Neighbourhoods
  • Police Services
  • Property Assessment
  • Provincial Offences Administration
  • Public Health
  • Side Walks
  • Snow Removal
  • Social Services
  • Social Housing
  • Storm Sewers
  • Tax Collection
  • Water and Sewage

This account (timewarp@lemmy.world) is constantly putting out bad faith arguments that are anti-Dem / pro-GOP. Sometimes they're obvious, other times it's more insidious.

Just tag the user as a person who is trying to be subversive and dishonest and it'll be easier to spot their bullshit.

Oh fuck off, we get it, genocide is bad, but this continues to be a strawman argument dedicated to putting a worse person in the White House, so just shut up already.

Since when does the Premier of Ontario get to decide what a municipal government does?

Man, people are voting for a glass of lemonade down there? Are things really that bad?

As a non-American, I don't know exactly how your polling works, but why am I seeing "plan your voting day" or "set a voting strategy" like they've done on the Cards Against Humanity voting campaign?

Where I live, it's just show up on voting day and cast your ballot, or ask for a mail in ballot, or go to a special voting station if you need (or want) to vote early. Is it the same in the US, and this is just getting people to gather those last pieces of information early and put a reminder in the calendar? Or is there more to it than that?

Thanks!
