@noodlemaz fair enough, I have only lived a a cis woman so‍️

@noodlemaz @sunflowerinrain @pezmico Female on male and female on female domestic violence occurs in spite of women being heavily socialized to control violent emotions. I think trans demonizing is part of culture's reluctance to admit women can be as violent as men.

Not the bullet and went to a movie while waiting for the car. Picked something with subtitles!

@crispius seeing what?

@chad yes! Build the infrastructure and people will buy EVs!

Everything old is new again and Canadians are PETTY.

@dyckron yup, it's a nod to Canada not having the death penalty. We did a lot of harm, although there was little choice, when we held that Huawei VP.

@calbearo it will make her even more valued by this administration.

File under one weird thing…

I got an insurance payout after I was hit by a car; no tax due. When my dad died there was no tax on inheritance (his estate was taxed). Casino winning generally no taxes if you have a regular job. Canadians are soaked in USA media and often assume we are taxed on things USians are.

Perhaps more people are planning for retirement than it seems.

If you use the TFSA you are tax sheltered on withdrawal and there is no mandatory withdrawal after 71 - unlike RRSPs. It's the retirement vehicle I would suggest to someone comfortably living within their means.

I can see government concern though, if people aren't deferring taxes, it loses a revenue stream as people retire. We used RRSPs like good little Boomers/Gen X and we'll be converting to RRIFs in a higher tax bracket than we were ever in when we were working. I look at it as a mark of financial planning success and I don't resent paying taxes but I would have kept a lot more in taxable investment accounts.

@grrlscientist it is so frustrating that we know what needs to be done but would rather underfund preventative measures and criminalize the results.

@NMBA I've don't it too. I think your skin thermostat just gets reset ‍️

@rogerb @angusm @cstross same as the Alberta separatists…they think they'll get statehood because oil but would become a territory with subjected to poor wages and unleashed pollution.
