I am definitely interested.

What is? What do you mean?

Here's a nerdy math way.

Assume that some numbers are not interesting. Let n be the smallest non-interesting number. Since n is the smallest number that's not interesting, it is interesting.

pixeld.ca sounds better to me.

That said, maybe pixelfed.ca sounds more formal, plus it might avoid confusion if both pixelfed.ca and pixeld.ca are instances.

I heard that it is the defenseless arctic that is Canada's weakpoint, due to ice melting.

What do you mean we were already independent? (Genuinely asking)

I just want to rant.

The fact that "the judicial branch is controlled by [insert party]" is a valid and true statement to make, especially right now with the GOP, is such a bastardization of the separation of powers.

Those are all interesting questions that, like you said, generally do not admit clear answers.

For art, maybe there is a related question. Should analysis of an art piece (be it text, music, visual, etc.) also analyze the artist, or, put another way, is understanding the artist important to understanding their art? I, personally, like to say that the artist, in general, usually distracts from the art. But this is in many cases untrue.

I think you are missing the point of @clay_pidgin's reply.

This is about achieving critical mass. This type of protest can carry significant costs to the protestor: job loss, being targetted, etc. Achieving a critical mass is to get a protest large enough that either makes those costs worth it, or removes those costs (it is easier to fire one person than it is to fire 100000 people).

I think Global refers to "globally within the US".

It is an intersting question, but I think it is better for the reaistance movement if people outside of the US continued to work and buy things (that dont support the US).

Just thinking out loud here.

I disagree with being able to opt out of being quoted, but I agree that one should be able to opt out of having their account visible in the the Quote Post. Or maybe I am misunderstanding what a Quote Post is supposed to be? I am thinking of it as a way to share someone else's post, but also verifying the the quote wasnt just made up.

Isnt a sales tax and VAT literally the same thing? Both sales taxes and European VAT are examples of VAT. (I hope theres no differences im missing).

More importantly, VAT usually applies to all products, regardless of origin. And its not that big of a leap now, from calling VAT a tarrif, to call any form of taxes tariffs (incl. income tax).
