You live next door to the loud, methed up neighbors who scream at each other everyday while the kids are crying and dog barking. They also own an unsettling amount of firearms for just two people. Something is going to catch fire in that house and it’ll become your problem as well unfortunately.
Happened to my friend recently. Their backyard caught fire, waiting to hear from them, and worried.
What they don’t teach us in schools in America is that beaver assholes smell like vanilla and maraschino cherries.
Lol. That’s weirdly specific. It’s probably closer to ‘old leather chair in a log cabin with a roaring fire whilst smoking vanilla tobacco’, but yeah there are both vanilla and dried fruit undertones. I wouldn’t be putting castoreum on my banana split though.

DON’T JUDGE ME
this is why I support adding Beaver Sniffing to the curricula
I bet all the seats to that course would be snatched up in an instant.
unnecessarily smug…
a lot of the shittiness in our lives is a direct consequence of living next to them… we take all of their worst ideas by osmosis, and none of the good ones.
I agree. I feel like we have it worst in some regards, low how we only have 3 major cities in Canada where the majority of the jobs are, whereas in the U.S. they have many options.
Yeah rent is high in the U.S., but it’s relatively higher in Canada because our wages are shittier. We also have quasi-monopolies owning some of the most essential necessities like food and communications and the are usin this privilege to gouge the Canadian population. Our politicians are also actively degrading our public services such as healthcare and public transit for the benefi of for-profit healthcare and the auto industry. And we have a major housing crisis fueld by rich property barons snatching up everything while our government can’t think outside the box to fix it.
Yeah but you have healthcare lol
That’s it. That’s the only thing that makes it bearable.
Toronto and Vancouver have been two of the most expensive cities to live in, in North America. Rent is incredibly high here, just like in the US.
However, we have lower salaries than in he US in general. Also, our goods and services are substantially more expensive in Canada than the US. This means the US population has a much higher spending power than Canadians.
You wouldn’t believe how much we pay for groceries, internet, mobile phone plans, clothes, cars, furniture, etc. Our spending ability is complete shit.
We only have public healthcare to thank for not completely going under. For everything else, we’re barely getting by.
Haha, all the problems you just listed for Canada are like exponentially worse in the United States. Like way fucking worse. Not the least concentrated Supply, which always wins over diffuse demand according to an ancient Indian adage, Gandhi Indian obviously. Natives should not be called Indians they should be called natives I figure.
but it’s relatively higher in Canada because our wages are shittier.
really…how much of you wages goes to healthcare every month? How many medical bills are you paying down? How about that 6 figure student loan?
Every Canadian needs to live in the US for three years to realize how utterly full of shit and whiny Canadians are.
It’s not a competition.
Just because we have it slightly better than the US doesn’t mean we’re not facing our own set of challenges.
Calling Canadians whiny is insulting and your comment deserves a good “fuck you” for its insensitivity.
Every Canadian needs to live in the US for three years to realize how utterly full of shit and whiny Canadians are.
the difference is, canadians overwhelmingly support universal healthcare… yet these shitty privatization efforts slowly sneak in via USA influence. we’re not innocent though… we vote for shitty little cuts over and over, causing the system to crumble… but overall, people support the idea of universal healthcare… we’re just too shortsighted to keep it funded well…
on the other hand, americans are very openly proud of their shit-ass system (you won’t hear much of them on lemmy though)… freedom! self-sufficiency! we don’t need the nanny state! your shitty conditions are directly of their own doing… not because some neighboring country is flooding their airwaves with propaganda and influence…
being slightly better than america in some areas is not the bar we should be aiming for…
Hey now there are dozens of us who aren’t retarded. But yeah im mostly soooorrryyy
Think how bad it is for us in the US, everything is fucked.
Well not everything, I’m finding some bipartisan support on Epstein here, and I am convinced it is the key to razing and burning the oligarchy
We traffic bad ideas for money. You’ll always find a buyer.

Thanks, I just had it stuffed.
In the know? Grade B has better flavor.

TIL! TY!
You ever tried maple wine? It’s amazing the range of flavors you can get with different yeast.
Yes! Fall of ‘96, in a time of much brewing, I got a call from Tomas, “We’ve got this bucket of maple syrup that’s gone bad, do you want it?” When one is a fermenter, one is ALWAYS looking for fermentables especially free ones. Turned out it hadn’t gone bad at all, it was just a little foamy as it hadn’t been finished processing, said my partner, who had spent many an hour in their Sugarbush in Maine. The initial plan was to make a maple nut brown ale, but a professional cautioned me, saying, “Be careful, as you’ll be adding the flavor of maple, without the sweetness.” And it started rolling around in my head like a Buddhist Koan, ‘the sound of one hand clapping’, ‘the flavor of maple without the sweet.’ So I made what came to be called Tomas’ Mad Man Maple’s Mead. It was darkly colored, tasting like a fine cognac and with bubbles. At first we called ourselves Brew Meisters, till we made and learned from some significant mistakes, and adopted the name Brew Novice Brewing Company to signify that there is always more to learn. Good times!!
