I am also on team bar soap, but body wash isn't always "soap", it's sometimes a detergent.

Which is another reason why I am on team bar soap.

"Masculinity" isn't toxic on its own, "Toxic Masculinity" is a specific thing on its own.

It's using the measuring stick of being "masculine enough" or "enough of a man" to harm someone else.

"Lemmy" doesn't ban people, but certain instances might.

aka, if I get banned from Lemmy.world, I am not banned from Lemmy, just from lemmy.world.

Here's the link they probably tried to link:
https://www.cbc.ca/radio/whitecoat/the-dose-noise-health-1.6889724

It's from the same news source as the image they linked, and it contains the line "If you live in a big city in Canada, chances are you regularly hear noises that are harmful to your health."

But, I am suspect of this poster. That URL for the picture seems sketchy, and using a sentence from a 2-year-old news story is also odd as hell.

While opt-in polls cannot be assigned a margin of error

Basically, these numbers don't really count for anything.

Fuck the hellhole that is Alberta, but they don't have the most cases in Canada.

Everything we do is kinda shitty and bad. My shirt was bought from a mega corp that kills local economies, a sweat shop or child labour was probably involved at some point, the cotton in it might have been farmed using slave labour, I could go on, but we both know that the clothing industry is shitty all the way down. I can't go to work naked or grow my own cotton, so I try to be less-bad in other ways. I choose to eat in a way that’s less-bad for the environment, and doesn't directly profit from killing animals.

No, people like to pretend that using linux is hard for some reason.

It's not 2003 anymore.

People use them to make their generators power their homes, by adding power into an outlet.

So, whatever time of year power outages are likely to happen in this area.

I think that the points that DWS brings up are quite good.

If we ignore all of the "rights and freedoms" based arguments, "Why are we spending money to forcing people into treatment, when people who actually want to get into treatment can't, because of a lack of money?" is still quite damming of the program.

If someone wants to get clean, they are much more likely to actually stay clean than someone who was forced to. It's not a one-and-done process. If you don't have supports and tools set-up, relapse rates, even if you want to be clean, are quite high.

If the goal is to reduce the amount of drug users, putting the money to help people who want to be helped would go much further.

I mean, this is the same Trinity Western that wasn't allowed to open up a law school because they are garbage, right?

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trinity-western-supreme-court-decision-1.4707240

They only started to consider dropping their homophobic ways after their law school bid was rejected.

It requires members to abstain from using vulgar language, lying or cheating, stealing, using degrading materials such as pornography, and "sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman."

While that rule effectively bars anyone who is unmarried from having sexual relations, it's the reference to "man and a woman" that is considered discriminatory against LGBT people. Same-sex marriage became legal in Canada in 2005.

And Janet, get real. Not being allowed to open a law school because you discriminate against others, doesn't count as a loss in diversity.

Janet Epp Buckingham, a TWU professor who helped develop the law school proposal, said she was saddened by the ruling.

"We feel that this is a loss for diversity in Canada"

Edit: It looks they stopped making students promise to be straight in 2018, but they didn't drop it for the staff.

 

The previous song was Imagine dragons, a band that is generally considered unwanted.
