It’s almost as if systematically dismantling your health care system is a bad idea.

The UCP have been doing this for years in the hopes of painting the system as ineffective so that they can better sell a privatized system like the US has.

Fucking dickheads

Correct!

did someone say asbestos?

this is the tailings from the Cassiar Asbestos mine.

This mine is abandoned, and those tailings contain asbestos. During operation, green dust (asbestos) would blow everywhere. Kids playing in the snow would caution others to ‘eat around the green’ so they don’t get sick.

IT’S NOT A BUBBLE!!!

I’m old school, where NSFW was either tits or gore, but I’m trying to be a bit more sensitive about it, and also trying to not lob a mental flashbang on someone’s desk while they eat their depression sandwich at work

Mr. Simpson, are you just holding on to the cans?

Holy fuck, that’s the best thing I’ve read in a while

This. Found it out the hard way. Toasted my oven and screwed up my cabinet finish.

I’m too lazy to remake this meme because of censorship. Unfortunately, this is how memes are trending thanks to AI and algorithms

Right? That one tin of tobacco looks like it was placed there yesterday. The newspapers are super cool too - they didn’t just dissolve, and they offer a glimpse into life at that time

I’ll finally get what I deserve then

Not who you are replying to, but anyway. I generally find this place a lot better than reddit. Everything you point out is valid, RE: core problem. Moderating is volunteer work, and by nature mods have authority. The real crux as you point out is the lack of ability to appeal a ban. That and lack of ban standardization even amongst mods. Paying mods wouldn’t help really. You can’t ask mods to attend a so you want to be a moderator: a training program for those still in denial about their agoraphobia program.

Because instances admins can ultimately take their ball and go home like you mention. It’s a tricky situation.
