The joys of always having hated short form video ever since Vine made is popular. Never seen a reel never watched a TikTok. I do like YouTube travel videos but only the longer ones

I think the word you’re looking for is “brevity” lol

Hey! Thank you for this and let’s get started

Jesus is your MRI! Pray and He will reveal!

Just like Jesus pays child support and like Jesus heals people…oh wait. Right

Thank you for this! I assumed that Daiya had been bought out by American interests since it is so readily available in the US but you are correct it is BC based and Japanese owned. I don’t like their cheese substitutes since they have that coconut oil taste but this is great info

We don’t even have instant release Adderall in Canada only Adderall XR. The only instant release amphetamine we have is dextroamphetamine instant release and almost no doctors or psychiatrist prescribed it anynore. Everyone gets Vyvanse or Concerta or other long acting meds.

Also no Canadian doctor will prescribe to an American who is just visiting. Getting ADHD meds in Canada generally requires a psychiatrist visit and we have long wait times or a family doctor that knows your history well enough to do a trial run on meds. Walk in clinics won’t prescribe ADHD meds

Again this is a moot point since no doctor in Canada will prescribe these meds to someone who doesn’t live here

Oh no. Now the mainstream grocery store offerings will mostly be Daiya etc which are American. Time to go back to making my own creations with tofu.

Granted they’re owned by American Hain-Celestial so hopefully a truly Canadian company can grow in their place.

They’re both long-acting forms of methylphenidate. Ritalin, Concerta, and Ritalin LA are all different versions of the same molecule - methylphenidate

This. Canada first but let’s also support the EU and Mexico and Brazil and all the other places Trump is targeting. Turns out there’s a whole world of products - we just need to alter our trade alliances and tastes.

CBC Gem, Crave (owned by Bell), Britbox for shows - Qobuz for music (Fully French owned unlike Deezer which represents itself as French but is 45% owned by an American investment firm that donated to Trump’s campaign), and yes the high seas for what you can’t get at these places.

[email protected] is another community that is becoming more active

It’s not a lack of virtue, it’s endemic and chronic mental illness that isn’t addressed and which is worsened by excessive consumption of toxic social media like Reddit, TikTok etc - you are correct that crowd is likely not on Lemmy.

It’s been like this in some online communities since mIRC was popular. mIRC was not user friendly and people had to know how to access it, change servers, use commands. This seemed simple to me back then but most of my friends could not be bothered.

With Meta’s slop, TikTok, and Reddit being so easy people rarely step outside those bubbles anymore.

Be an actual person. Have empathy. Have sympathy. Stop listening to Rogan, Peterson, stop doing Wim Hof baths, stop taking T when you don’t need it - focus on life, see nature, see the destruction of climate change, stop wanting to “get yours” and enjoy money and material goods in this life without caring about what impact these choices have to those who follow. Talk to women as peers and not sex objects. Join groups where the focus is not sex or angry fight club bullshit and meet people and get to know them slowly. Go to third spaces like coffee shops or local events - get out of your room and step away from the keyboard. This has become very hard for people. And FFS delete TikTok and Reddit.

So many people have become introverted and focus on hate and allow their homes, apartments, and lives to wither in benign neglect as they go deeper down the redpill rabbit hole. See someone. Go to therapy. Get the medications you need not the ones you want (T, stims, PEDs) - exception being if you actually have ADHD then stims might be appropriate but many men who want these meds do not have low T they do not have ADHD they have profound mood disorders and depression.

Lush is actually UK owned but they make some of their products here in Canada and have stores here so absolutely :)

Just like Trump is friends with…oh right…Putin and Epstein. Wait not the same thing :) “I have the best friends, the most beautiful friends, oh yes…when you hear about my friends you’re gonna love it”

Can this woman go away now? Her 15 minutes were up ages ago. Vote her out so she can go hang with her buddies Pat and Tamara and post racist rants to Truth Social.

Make sure they respect ALL the pronouns. In fact I’d like to see a plaque listing them on the front of the house itself along with a land acknowledgement and giant permanent Pride flag. And a vegan on site cafe.

Thank you so much for your transparency and for encouraging this community. Will be happy to do my part by engaging in meaninful conversation, posting quality content, and will make a donation.

…and to be clear, try to minimize the arguments I find myself in but hey can’t promise 99.99 uptime on that one ;)

Technically three since Videotron/Freedom run their own network but the coverage is so limited that you’ll be on one of their “Nationwide” partners most of the time outside urban areas which means Rogers or Bell/Telus (they network share in so many areas i always bucket them together even if there are places where they maintain their own networks and they do have separate backhaul but anyway)
