I don’t actually know 😅
Wikipedia says only some historians believe that and that there are issues with that theory. Also the theory only applies to France so I’m not sure how it’s colonial
Jesus. The US continues to find ways to surprise me
He briefly paused for the chamber’s prayer at noon
Wait what. I know separation of church and state is barely real in the USA, but the chamber actually does a prayer??
It’s the best feeling ever realising that you won’t ever have to deal with any of the tech debt again
Or the USA in general (if they have the means to escape)
Oh fair enough! I didn’t know the dual citizenship part
Palaye Royale seems to be an American band. According to their Wikipedia, they're from Las Vegas, NV. I think they should be removed :/
the centrists are the Republicans who left the party over Trump, and the right-leqning Democrats
ಠ_ಠ
Not really directed at you specifically, it’s just that it seems like the top response to Trump doing anything is that it’s just a distraction. I can’t really put my finger on exactly what it is about it that bugs me, but I think it just comes across as dismissive
Edit: I think it bothers me the most when it’s something in relation to a country other than the USA. Like fine, write off the stuff that only affects the US, but to hear things just shrugged off as “it’s only a distraction” from a citizen of the country where said things are really screwing us over is just irritating.
It’s like if someone just threw a handful of shit at you and someone else says “oh yeah that’s just a distraction 🤷”
For sure and I wouldn’t call 1980s centrists fascists but at this point the US Overton window has shifted so far to the right that it’s hard to forgive anyone still in the middle. Like you have one party that’s brought on a billionaire to dismantle the government, threatening annexation of a number of sovereign nations, detaining people (not even convicted of any crimes) in brutal, torturous ways, and a million other horrid things; and then you have the other party that just kind of wants to keep things the status-quo.
If the former party is fascism and the latter is (sane) liberal conservatism, what would you call someone in the centre of that? Looking in from outside the US, I don’t see much of a difference between proponents of the fascism and the centrists. Like if I hear someone “in the centre” say “hmm well maybe Trump is right, we should invade Canada/Greenland/Panama”, I’m going to rightfully call them a fascist.
Important note: I wouldn’t say this applies to other countries where the Overton window isn’t so insanely far to the right
Central Chambers was built between 1890 and 1893 and designed by John James Browne of Montreal, an example of Queen Anne Revival commercial architecture. Formerly serving as an office for the Canadian Atlantic Railway, it now houses the National Capital Commission
It's not the fanciest ever but it's a building I walk by often and I always stop to look at the brickwork. The amount of detail that went into these town houses is just remarkable. Sorry for the low quality images, they're the only ones I could find. (Source)
Hi, I just created the community for my hometown on Lemmy.ca and noticed that within minutes it already has 35 subscribers. How does that work? The town is tiny, I'd be surprised if there were even 35 people from Renfrew on Lemmy at all, let alone eagerly waiting for the community to be created
Hi, I'm pretty sure my corydora has cotton wool disease on its top fin and I'm not really sure what to do. We've had him quarantined for nearly two weeks and are daily treating with PimaFix but it doesn't seem to be helping at all, rather it's growing worse.
The good news is that he seems completely oblivious to it all... he still swims around like normal and scrounges around for food.
Is there anything else I can do?
Edit: I've tested the water and all parameters seem to be fine. No nitrite, nitrate or ammonia and the pH seems average
Late update: after treating the tank with melafix for a couple weeks, his "wool" just fell off and what seems to be his wound seems to have just healed. I don't know if it was just luck or what but he's made a full recovery :)
