Because most people are not so anal retentive as to give a damn about Hasbros trademarks.

Well, the trade barriers aren't imposed by the federal government, so he can't just whip out his dick and make them disappear. Most trade barriers are really mismatched provincial regulations that make it difficult for businesses to establish standardized products or services from coast to coast, a patchwork network of provincial professional organizations, and a provincially enacted trade restrictions.

So, the federal government can only work as a mediator to make things happen.

Since he won the Liberal leadership, though, an interprovincial pact between Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia has been negotiated, with Manitoba signalling interest in signing on, and Nova Scotia and PEI have rolled out legislation to harmonize some of their regulations and standards. And I'm sure other deals have been struck, as well.

Yeah, but Albertans hear Quebec mentioned in the news once every six months and think they're totally alone and ignored while everyone else is getting constant attention. Meanwhile, their internal map of Canada is Alberta ("the west") and Ontario ("the east"), and if they speak of anywhere else in the country, it's with total and complete revulsion and spite.

But they do go on.

As the indigenous peoples of the prairies have already pointed out, by treaty, the provinces don't own the lands they're governing. The people can leave.

They don't get to take anything with them.

My dad smoked for years. But so did a huge percentage of boomers. Where I grew up, poor and rural, the majority of people smoked.

You know what I love? When people spend time with me because they feel trapped by social awkwardness. It's definitely a good use of my time. Totally makes me feel good about myself, too.

Le is pronounced "luh". La is pronounced "la".

What we're looking for here is les, the plural, which is pronounced "lay".

Unfortunately, you weren't the conduit through which he reached all of his fans. And that relationship is damaging society.

I used to work with someone who loved his podcast. She tried to explain the appeal: "He can go from making dick and fart jokes to discussing astrophysics." This person did not know I had degrees in astrophysics. All I could say was, if his dick and fart jokes are as bad as his astrophysics, then he's got absolutely nothing.

Cool.

Anyone want to blow a hole in the side of it?

And if people would just recommend or advertise instances, and try to grow instances rather than the network directly, there'd be no problem. But every Fedi platform falls into this ptoblem of hiding the host and championing the platform itself, rather than powering independent social websites.

It's so frustrating and sad.
