macleans.ca I work in a B.C. food bank. We’re serving triple the number of people we used to. - Macleans.ca

For the first time, many of our clients are people with jobs who can’t keep up with the cost of living. How did we get here?

It's so dead in here
  • I probably could, there are Github repos with code to do exactly that, but I don't know if it's against the community or anything.

    Could probably set up a Bot to post local articles and whatnot from multiple sources.

  • Aspartame is safe in limited amounts, say experts after cancer warning
  • Honestly, aspartame is terrible for me. I have a weird allergic reaction to it when all the sudden my sinuses go crazy and I feel like I have a cold. Lasts for 15 minutes or so if I have a sip of aspartame containing beverages. I'll just stick to drinking sparkling water.

  • It's so dead in here

    I wish it was a lot more active, I know I have to give it time for users to start using this community. The subreddit is one of the few I still check on reddit to get local news and local stuff.

    Be honest, do you still use reddit?
  • I do, but not nearly as much. My reddit time when from a couple hours a day, to maybe 15 minutes here and there when I'm at a PC only. Even then, it's not as active. Only my local sub is because the community didn't migrate.

  • EU wants over 70s to prove they can still drive every five years
  • While I totally agree, and myself when or if I hit 80 probably wont be driving around, it will still happen. There will be stubborn 80 and above that will continue to want to drive for their independence. And if they want to, they should absolutely be tested.

    Honestly tho, lets get real here for a minute. This is a large 1 ton machine that could easily kill someone. Shouldn't we have mandatory tests eventually for everyone? I mean, after driving for 25 years or so, there have been rules that have changed, safety measures that are different than when I took drivers ed, and lets face it, my skills are nearly as sharp as they used to be due to complacency we all experience.

    Wouldn't that idea lower the amount of traffic fatalities a bit? I could see it turn into a cash grab and there would be strong opposition. I don't know, maybe I'm just stoned.

  • It’s morally correct
  • Agreed, big time. I have a few gripes with this platform, but it's just starting, just had a huge amount of users come so it's manageable. I kind of don't want the massive reddit user base.

  • Does Lemmy have multireddits?
  • If there was a top level where you could aggregate communities based on subject, say all the communities that include news. Is that what you mean? It would be awesome if that feature existed.
