It's probably the best subscription I have for the price, so I don't really mind a small increase.

I'm so smart because I can see flaws with my country. So much better than all those normies.

I don't understand. How is Lemmy not a form of social media?

Right? I really wanted to leave midway but my friends were there too. I'm a big fan of surrealist literature but that movie just couldn't do it for me.

Is that it? I definitely do it in the bathroom when nobody else is around multiple times a day.

I don't think people should drive for the simple reason that for most of history, we never experienced traveling at such high speeds. We don't have the reaction time required to handle that, especially when the stakes are so high.

For convenience, yes. I can't come up with and remember a different password for each different website.
Does anyone know any good cafes/pubs where one can work on a laptop for a while when they're not busy? Preferably somewhere with Wi-Fi and a patio.

You won't win this argument here though. These people don't know the difference between conservativism and US Republicanism.
I think you bring up very good examples. The communists in China with their cultural revolution is another example of progressive policies gone wrong. Children undergoing sex change operations and later regretting it could possibly be viewed as one in a few decades. (Examples of these do exist and their stories are heartbreaking.)

Unfortunately this might not be something from Reddit. It could be universal to all human communities. People want to feel that they are in the right but not be questioned, when countering opposing arguments is the way to truth.

Is there a way to to something like this for Lemmy? This is one thing that I used all the time for Reddit and found immensely useful.

It's not what you're asking but I figured to offer my thoughts on Anki to make the community more active.
I think Anki is a tool that can be effective but is not an absolute necessity. Personally, I find Anki reviews to be torturous and has always been the worst part of my routine, to the point of putting me off learning entirely. I've replaced Anki and all other forms of vocab review with extensive reading for a few years now, and am having a much more enjoyable time and don't find my progress to be hindered. Anki is probably good to drill in the first couple hundred words, but don't fall into the trap of using it religiously and making language learning a chore.

Actually that's not true. See https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/child-family-benefits/goods-services-tax-harmonized-sales-tax-gst-hst-credit/grocery-rebate.html
Please note it is possible you may be entitled to the Grocery Rebate, but not the July GST/HST credit or vice versa.

To save a click: 72-year-old woman cured of a treatment-resistant e-coli infection in a study led by Dr. Greg German, an infectious disease physician at St. Joseph's Hospital, part of Unity Health in Toronto. She had been suffering from it since age 65.

Yes, but not to the extent of redditors.
I always thought tipping $1 a beer was the norm. Unfortunately, the waitress looked disappointed when I gave her $3 for three beers. Maybe it's because it was table service at a touristy pub? What do you guys think?

Honestly, I'm pretty excited about being a "pioneer" (sorry to those who have been here for longer). I never commented much on Reddit, but plan to contribute more here.
