Honestly, I think a lot of the best music is good because it incorporates parts of multiple genres, especially more recent stuff. Genre labels are useful to an extent, but I really struggle with assigning genre to the songs I post here.

I might steal the "going off Wikipedia" idea!

Say what you will about the country, I have my fair share of criticism regarding Canada and would agree that we are, on the whole, cringe. But our flag? It's a good flag. I don't care what you think.

I relate really hard to this comment. My mother, for all her faults, truly seems to believe the best in people, which I do find admirable. Shortly before retirement, she worked a few retail jobs, where she thrived and loved getting the grumpy clients. She said trying to make them smile was always her favourite mini-game at work.

As much as I hate most people, that mentality has translated into my work ethic as a customer service employee. You never know what someone is going through, and unless you actively make the staff feel unsafe I will try my best to make your day a bit nicer.

You're mistakenly assuming the attributes are binary, stuff like screen resolution, regions, languages all have many possible values to help narrow down and identify you. It really doesn't take that many for you to be identifiable.

Seconding bike co-ops, especially for people who don't know much or are intimidated by bike maintenance. The people who work at these places are always super eager to help you get on a good bicycle for cheap!

You don't need 5 posts a day for a community to survive here. There's not that many people on Lemmy, things are a bit slower paced.

I mod [email protected] and we'd be lucky to have one post per day, yet I think it's still a relatively healthy community, with a decent amount of engagement on most posts.

This just made me imagine a modded Civic but with rockets.

Honestly, knowing people who mod Civics, I wouldn't be surprised of this has already been done somewhere in the world.

It's a complete guide for beginners, they never claim to be a complete list of display managers.

J'te jure, la façon dont certains anglos vénèrent la famille royale ça a la même énergie que les weebs pis leurs waifus.

Oh King-San, please reign over me 🥺👉👈

J'ai aucune idée pourquoi t'as partagé ça dans la communauté Canada, mais c'est exactement le genre de trivia niaiseux que j'adore apprendre, alors merci!

The Canadian flag is not a "bog standard three stripes" design. It even introduced a new vexillological term; the Canadian pale.

I don't understand why you think the maple leaf, a symbol which has been associated with Canada ever since there was a "Canada" to speak of, is "cringe".

The Canadian flag is a vexillological masterpiece and I will die on this hill. I wouldn't bother dying for my country, but I would for its flag. It's instantly recognizable, simple yet symbolic, and honestly such a massive glow-up from the previous Red Ensign flag.

You want to see a cringe flag? Look at this atrocity:

I always enjoy talking to the elder gays, even though sometimes the men will be kinda inappropriate.

My favourite was this one old guy who came up to me while I was on a smoke break at work and immediately asked me "you're trans, aren't you?"

When I apprehensively said yes, he revealed he had transitioned in the late '80s! We had a nice little chat while I finished my smoke, he was really sweet and super proud of how comfortable the new generation of queers was being themselves. I definitely went into the bathroom to have a little happy cry afterwards.
