Psst, I'm a communist.

Gimme dat nut.

Sir, sir, do you realize that you are using an inappropriate tone? Please use less offensive language when discussing your white supremacy. Thank you, sir.

@ArtistMarciaX OK, in that case I would suggest libsyn as an alternative. I don't have personal experience, but I know a lot of podcasters use it as a host. It seems very popular with leftist podcasters, if that makes a difference.

I decided to subscribe to a couple of socialist publications today. Canadian Dimension is a quarterly news magazine that analyzes major issues from a leftist perspective.

The People's Voice is a twice-monthly newspaper published by the Communist Party of Canada (or at least supported by them; it may be independently run these days).

Both subscriptions were $30 for the year, which isn't bad for print publications these days.

@JordiGH Even weirder is that when I go and view it on Kijiji, it all shows as being from "Lynn," even though in my email the second message is from "Vikki." It's very strange.

Of course, I'm selling a physical thing and whoever eventually buys it will need to pay me in cash, so it won't be *easy* to rip me off.

Someone responded to my Kijiji ad. I replied to their question through the Kijiji website (so, not by email). She replied back, except this time it's showing a completely different name, even though it's a direct reply and we both appear to be using the Kijiji internal message system, not email. Seems fishy, but also weird since, again, we're not emailing directly but rather using the site's messenger as an intermediary between our email accounts.

I'm not going to lie, it's pretty hilarious to be reading a serious political article (which came through our news clip service at work) only to see an article for Squirt.org "non-stop sexy guys" right in the middle. I feel like this is NSFW, but it came from an official work email. 😂

Unrelated to the GSA issue, this really explains my in-laws and the way they interact with my daughter.

My parents talk to her, play with her, etc.

My in-laws talk *at* her or about her, even when she's sitting right there. It's like they don't see her as a full person.

"Part of the problem, she says, is that much of our culture views children as property, rather than as human beings with their own rights and needs separate from their family unit."

Holy shit is that ever true. And it's a much bigger issue than just the GSA issue discussed in the article.

@JordiGH Most of my stuff is with Scotia, which is pretty decent. Our mortgage is with TD because they had the best rate and Scotia wouldn't match it (we later tried to move it to Scotia when it was up for renewal, but they screwed up the paperwork).

I was with RBC for decades, but feel like the customer service got worse over the years, so I guess this is a long way of saying Scotia is the best major bank I've dealt with. Never dealt with CIBC.

@JordiGH Oh, weird. None of my banks have 2FA on by default. I'm not even sure it's an option, to be honest.

@JordiGH Like, going online without using a phone/app? I'm pretty sure every bank does that, assuming I'm understanding the question correctly.

As we approach the Canada Day long weekend, let's take a moment to consider the myth of Canada as a peacekeeping country.

Rather than that cliche about "socially liberal but fiscally conservative," social credit parties seem to be fiscally liberal but socially conservative, which is very unusual in Canadian politics (at least in the current political environment).
