Would second the BC vibes, but without any additional detail it could easily be Europe too. Don’t know how common a sight like this would be in South America, I’d maybe expect a little less tree growth?

xploit@lemmy.worldto Canada@lemmy.ca•As BC’s Universities Struggle, Students Are Ready to Fight3·11 days agoWhen I saw the staggering amount of managers, associate directors, directors, VPs enter another management position here, I did begin to wonder what the ratio is to actual educators employed (this is specific to SFU, but I doubt it’s much different at other unis).
Don’t even get me started on how they waste their money on bullshit.
We shouldn’t want education to disappear, but holy shit there needs some stronger rules and guidelines about this or what differentiates an actual place of education from a money grab
The same tech companies that dragged their feet or haven’t even left Russia? Those ones would give up on profitable market, risk getting assets in Netherlands and Ireland seized or whichever other jurisdictions that are overseas territories of European countries. One can only hope…
xploit@lemmy.worldto Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada’s Unifor union urges conversion of auto plant to war production1·12 days agoWhat’s wrong with not allowing machinery to be sold off for peanuts and instead continuing to build cars. Maybe that arrow project that was in some news (all Canadian car), is that not a worthwhile project…oh is it too cheap perhaps???
Just wait a moment, this is a GIF
xploit@lemmy.worldto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Swift bricks become mandatory for new buildings in ScotlandEnglish4·12 days agoI have now spent majority of my life speaking English/living in English speaking country and yeah they love their acronyms. Unnecessary useless acronyms. I suspect they’re wired for it from young age and don’t even realize, because despite starting to learn English at a young age, there was no incentive for me to start coming up with or learning acronyms.
xploit@lemmy.worldto Linguistics@mander.xyz•Language families of Indigenous peoples in North America shown across present-day Canada, Greenland, the United States, and northern Mexico2·16 days agoEven the indigenous knew that west coast is the best coast.
Or you know, their ancestors migrated from the across Pacific (not like those wimps who barely made it across Atlantic and thought they landed in India lmao)
RISCV, potato, unprocessed sand…it’s all hardware anyway
xploit@lemmy.worldto Memes of Production@quokk.au•how i united with tankies to overthrow capitalism6·20 days agoIt’s only a ploy if you don’t realize there is no communism and never was any anywhere in the world. China, Russia or NK are and never were anywhere near it, so it’s not like you support communism if you voice support for one of those imho. It’s like claiming you love and support brown color just because you love sticking your nose into shit.

Dumb kid zooms past us on the grass from behind because the footpath is rather narrow. No lights, dressed all dark (it was evening and dark already).
Couple more idiot children zoom past on the road, blowing past a car stopped at a stop sign, almost hit pedestrian crossing the road at a crosswalk. Again all dark clothing, no lights. They’re a disaster waiting to happen, but at this point…fuck em

Any recommendations for a foaming soap dispenser that isn’t completely shit though?
Tried a couple; random one in UK few years back (worked fine, should have taken it with us), random one in Canada (was shit from start) and re-used from foaming soap (essentially stopped making foam after 3-4 refills).
Pfffsh I told a recruiter I didn’t think there was opportunity grow in a role after looking up info on the company/reviews/their hiring (let alone the wording of their “confidential” job sheet)…response was that they send people to Tony Robbins seminars. Had to look him up, dodged a bullet there I think
xploit@lemmy.worldto Canada@lemmy.ca•Most Canadians oppose foreign ownership of critical mineral projects, survey finds93·2 months agoWell, I also oppose local corporation “ownership” of critical minerals…or government for that matter cuz you just know they’re just gonna fuck it up. Dunno about the indigenous, but at least get haven’t dug it all up, destroying the nature in all those centuries they’ve been around sooo …maybe?

Asking the real questions here…
Except when steam itself craps out for a while and you can’t even tell unless you keep the group chat/voice window open on 2nd screen.
Still better than discord tho
