Workers at Canada Post Are On Strike. Here’s What Postal Workers Are Fighting For.
  • "Ah just let private industry compete. When you have literally hundreds of options, the cream will rise to the top.

    Competition is the way of capitalism, so don't turn your back on it or you'll have unaffordable scarcity.

    The best thing — oh, hang on, it's the cabal of private corporations. A merger, you say? Glory to the consolidation of wealth! Yeah, of course you can price fix with the rest of the triopoly. It's called 'market price.'

    As I was saying, the best thing to do would be to layoff the entire staff, sell everything for pennies on the dollar, and leave everything in the trustworthy hands of private enterprise. They're just better at it."

  • Dentists
  • It looks years before my dental hygienist finally explained it properly for me.

    Your gums are inflamed from fighting all the bacteria etc from not flossing. When your gums are inflamed, they're extra full of blood, so when you do floss, you bleed a whole bunch. It has nothing to do with "toughening up your gums".

    I've flossed every day since and haven't had a problem.

    Bonus tips: Tie a loop of floss so you can pull tension between two fingers without garroting/strangling your digits by wrapping a wire around them 8 times. Use proper Butlerweave floss instead of the plastic strip junk. The plastic slides over everything super easily, like the plaque and stuff you're meant to be removing. If you're having trouble getting in the habit, floss before you brush. It's easier to skip if it's added on after your normal routine. Also, if your life is so fast that you just don't have the time, you're probably not brushing your teeth long enough either. Dedicate 5 minutes a day to take care of the only (free) set of teeth you're going to get!

  • I can stop anytime I want
  • I like it when I feel like an AdMech Tech-Priest.

    "The machine spirits have blessed this forgotten coal burner since time immemorial. Now, in it's 8 millionth process, it is unwise to interfere, lest unforessen complications arise."

  • "I love the poorly educated"
  • Oh no! #1 in cost of living and #1 in quality if life? And among the lowest poverty?

    Do people really just need social support to thrive? No way! It's gotta be stuff! Cheap stuff! That's what life's all about!

  • Disney reportedly pulls Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur episode over trans athlete story
  • "We're not banning it, we're just keeping it locked away so it never sees the light of day. And it's not because of any depiction of a trans person, it's for other, totally real reasons. I hope this has assured you of our commitment to diversity!"

  • Why the revised Julian calendar wasn't widely adopted?
  • Either A) New Years Day is a day of the week and your birthday changes every year (but in a vastly more predictable way; NYD will make next year's dates one weekday ahead), or B) New Years Day is a completely separate day and all years are identical, and you choose your birthday to be celebrated on the closest agreeable weekend if that matters to you

  • Why the revised Julian calendar wasn't widely adopted?
  • There is a pretty fucking solid one:

    13 months exactly 4 weeks long. 364 days. Two unique days: New Years Day and Leap Day. Just put them together.

    Now every month is the same length. Every numbered day is the same day of the week in every month for the whole year.
