I appreciate the speed at which my tax refunds are processed annually, but it’s becoming clear that the “pay now, do the math later” philosophy isn’t working. I read somewhere that philosophy is deliberate in order to make the CRA look more efficient. I guess it’s just become more efficient at being defrauded which sucks.

That is a good book.

Re: downvoting; I think it’s just knee jerk reaction to any suggestion Facebook can do anything good. I have the same reaction but, like you, there’s a specific group I belong to that doesn’t exist elsewhere and it’s one of the few groups that isn’t toxic or hysterical.

This is not an airport. You don’t have to announce your departure. You can just leave.

You can’t just say blocked. It doesn’t work that way. #michaelscott

What a bizarre thing to think.

That’s the app I use. It is nice.

I just find the federated timeline a good way to find new people. Because everyone is stuffed onto the flagship instance, there’s prolly lots on the local timeline. But not so for smaller or newer instances.

This comment hurts my brain. There’s a lot more to the fediverse than a single app.

I’ve been surprised to find that females in my circle consider dude gender neutral.
