Then Donner shouldn't have had Superman flying around the earth in the same direction that the rotation changed to. Like if Superman had been flying around the world North-South, it wouldn't look like he was physically turning the rotation of the planet back with his flying.

Just putting up parking fees everywhere - not great.

Honestly, this can be good too. I've seen many places where parking is "free" and the end result is that there isn't any parking available other than expensive private lots. The city is robbing itself then: It's diverting the revenue from parking into private hands, which also encourages private parking lots which are an urban blight, and making it less convenient and affordable for business customers while a handful of people squat on the free parking all-day every-day.

Everybody would be happier if the street had affordably-priced meters. Everybody except for the people who are using that street-side parking all-day every-day, but those people are basically poaching very limited and valuable land from the municipality.

... Okay like I hate Trump and Israel's wars as much as the next person but posting a meme with 3 different Israel bullet points and previously you posted one with Trump in a yarmulke... I mean, you seem kinda fixated.

It's 2026, there's no longer an excuse for phone companies being unable to figure out who's paying for the phone line. Make them liable if they can't figure out where the call came from.

As much as it would hurt charities, removing the tax deduction for donations of any kind feels necessary at this point.

Annoyed at slow release processes since I want this but I also hate the risk of crapping up my system by adding a new source. It'll be a dog's age before I can get it on a stable version of Ubuntu, but I've had so much trouble installing big corpo programs I need on anything but Ubuntu stable that I'm afraid to leave it.

While this community is very low-traffic and I don't want to start blocking willy-nilly, I want to quote the sidebar:

World News for Canadians, with preference for articles that provide Canadian perspectives and sources.

This is https://lemmy/ dot ca /c/WorldNews. The intent was always that this would be about providing a Canadian perspective to the world's happenings. People who are primarily just crossposting sites that have no Canadian connection are invited to do so on other World News communities throughout the Lemmy fediverse. There are very many of them, but AFAIK this is the only "World News For Canadians" community.

Normally I'd agree but google had a real problem with "everything is a simple red-yellow-blue-green outline" for a while so it's been a long walk to get them to have actually distinct appearances.

These ones are good. Now just don't change them.

I mean they actually look different from each other so that's good

I'm on team Occam's Razor on this. We don't need complicated conspiracy theories to explain why people keep shooting at the most unpopular and destructive man on Earth.
