refused to give them a reason to vote for them

If stopping fascism isn't enough of a reason for you to vote Dems, that's a you problem and not a them problem.

Fuel? I'm honestly surprised two-wheelers in India haven't been completely been overtaken by electrics, at least outside of the modern traffic infrastructure of Mumbai. I've only been there a few times but so much of what I saw (mostly in Thiruvananthapuram) was urban design where the high speed and power of a motorbike wouldn't be very useful (at least as a solo rider not carrying a heavy load like a passenger or anything) - slow, cramped, chaotic traffic on dusty zig-zagging roads.

It's not as funny when stripped from the context that the comic was drawn 5 years ago.

This is [email protected], I kind of figured people would join this sub after a diagnosis.

for everybody reading this who haven't tried them already:

The meds help a lot. Stop overthinking it and just get the meds.

I'm not sure how this is misogynistic. If you swap the genders of everybody involved, it would still be fun.

Let's imagine a crazy hypothetical: It's Alternate Reality 1993. Margaret Thatcher retains control of the UK government, having won the leadership election in 1990, but has become increasingly unhinged from her long rule and is now publicly proposing reabsorbing Upper and Lower Canada back into the UK and is relentlessly mocking then-Canadian-PM Kim Campbell about it.

Canada-UK relations are hopelessly soured.

And also there are incessant rumours about the Iron Lady having sexual fantasies about her son Mark.

And, in the winter of Alternate Reality 1993, ousted former-PM Kim Campbell (known political foe of Margaret Thatcher), has a public and torrid affair with Sir Mark Thatcher, making neo-imperialist Margaret Thatcher furious.

That would be hilarious.

Exactly. Which means he's free. Free to cause whatever mayhem he likes without worrying about losing an election.

Personally I'd never want to see him screw up a happy family with young kids though.

That's why he should boink Melania, not Ivanka. Also she's actually Trudeau's age.

Does anybody actually want one of these things?

No.

Trump's wife.

So lemmiverse, my https://pxtl.ca domain has officially been booted off of Google Domains (welcome to the Google graveyard, Google Domains) and now has been moved into Squarespace, which is expensive.

Anybody recommend a good cheap .ca TLD domain host? One with a decent API for dynamic DNS so I can keep my home subdomain? I have a couple of pi4 servers in the house that could be tasked with pinging an API endpoint to notify the domain host of my IP.

thanks in advance.

edit: in the end I went with CanSpace as registrar, and I'm using CloudFlare to actually run the nameservers.

The transfer was kind of a PITA because since the domain transferred from Google to Squarespace to Canspace to then being hosted on CF's nameservers (but still on Canspace) the DNSSEC meant that CF couldn't actually get it connected until like 48 hours later. Was quite worried that I'd screwed up somewhere.
