Holy shit, if people thought 5G causes cancer what will they think of 10G?

Airbnb is a bane on our society and massive contributer to the housing shortage.

This company needs to get sued into oblivion with their shitty practices and non transparent charges.

No idea about recourse in BC, but in Ontario former tenants have a year after a bad faith eviction to go after landlords for moving costs and a year's worth of rent difference the tenant has to pay at the new location, there may be some other things I'm missing. Unfortunately, I think the max is up to 35k, which sadly may not even cover the cost in loses.l, but better than nothing.

I hope there is something like that there. greedy landlords are a big part of the housing issues we are experiencing. Too many landlords that operate like cowboys in the wild west. They need to be penalized.

Good. Imagine Canada spent millions searching for a poorly built underwater capsule with a few billionaires on it but can't be bothered searching a landfill for 2 specific bodies, and quite possibly more. Reconciliation my fucking arse. I hope they get more support and exposure, this has been going on way too long already.

Not sure how to feel about this story. A relief for the family, but yeah, depending on what his status is when found maybe he didn't want to be found?

It's trying hard to be a feel good news story, but doesn't give any info on his status. If he was homeless and suffering from mental illness in the states, then of course it would be a good ending.

However, if he left to completely cut ties with family for whatever reason, then it certainly wouldn't be a good news story for him.

They will be reunited, wonder if that will be the case or if he will disappear again before that can happen.

And she didn't. And mostly men around america make it a massive political issue. I'm not condoning the length of time it took her to decide.

But I'm also not conding your response saying she had x amount of time, avoiding my inquiry about the ability to not be a good parent. What's worse? A small amount of time for a fetus, or a lifetime when the kid boils to death in the car cause mommy wanted to go shopping?

Quit wishing misery on birthed children all in the name of a life. It doesn't work that way.

If it was her body her choice, and she had education about it, or possibly free access to birth control, this might not have been a story. Sadly, it seems America is walking backwards with women's reproductive rights.

I'm not going to get worked up about a woman aborting her fetus for whatever reason. Make all other options more attainable and then it's a conversation to have, but not really. If I found out my wife would have a higher than average statistical chance of dying while giving birth, she could make her choice. My preference would be, let's just try for another and hope it doesn't put her life at more risk.

This isn't the case here, but how about we throw pitchforks at the penis that impregnated this young woman? It does take 2.

I've always just enjoyed having drinks with Lenny regardless of the social media apps I used. He is a pretty good guy, doesn't judge much which is great for conversations.

Funny enough, while having a few duffs with Lenny, we got to discussing reddits recent changes to 3rd party APIs and we both agreed it was going to be a bad discision long term. So Lenny started talking about Lemmy, and said I should check it out. I did once my reddit 3rd party app didn't work. So it was actually Lenny that converted me to Lemmy. He's a swell guy.

Didn't they suggest that aspartame could cause cancer way back in the late 80s or early 90s?

I remember growing up hearing about something like that when sweet and low was the go to sugar.

It seemed to kind of just fall of the face of the earth and is resurfacing now?

Just start saving when you are born and if you save enough you might be able to put a down payment on a house when you are 40 and qualify for a 90year mortgage.

Please bare with me if this is a really noob question. Still finding my feet here.

Im using the connect app and created my account on the propiracy lemmy instance. However, as I'm learning about other instances, I was interested in creating a different account on a nsfw instance. Don't shame me! When I go into settings, I have no ability to manually change the instance, there are 3 other prepoulated instances that I can tap and the instance field will change. Those aren't the instances I'm looking for.

Wondering if what I am trying to do is even an option. Can we have multiple profiles within the connect app that reference different instances?

Thanks to anyone that can help.

Hi, I'm a reddit refugee. Just set up an account and am using Connect app. It took me a while to stop unlocking my phone and slecting the rif icon, muscle memory is pretty weird thing.

Very new to this as I'm sure many others are. Finding my feet, and am looking forward to creating new muscle memory for this!
