Corporate taxes - at least in Canada, you can have a year end any day of the year.

And yes, some older tax preparers don’t work in summer/fall.

I grew up in rural Alberta and now live in one of the big cities. I like it a lot. There are so many different people here from all walks of life. Lots on Ontario and BC transplants too!

It’s getting more expensive, but I’m glad we could still afford a home here. But industry keeps growing here, so we will see how long it lasts.

People complain about the traffic but I think most commutes top out at 1 hour here. Compared to what I’ve heard in Toronto, where many people travel 1–2 hours each way.

Weather is good - very sunny, we have seasons, warm winds break up the cold winters.

I think the politics aren’t unusual - the cities are quite liberal and the countryside is very conservative. Seems to be the same in other provinces imo.

Just like in any place - it’s mostly normal people living their lives.

I switched from Android to iPhone mainly for the iMessage capabilities. I didn’t have any other reason at the time, but now I’ve started adding in to the ecosystem (AirPods, and now an iPad). The integration is really nice and smooth. I do like how “user-friendly” it is - while I can use other platforms just fine, iOS is just simple and easy.

I didn’t, really. Just kind of ended up here and it’s not bad.

Bean counter.

Same here - I hope more female-oriented communities get going. WitchesVsPatriarchy, TrollXChromosomes, and all the chaos of the Netflix Cinematic Universe reality shows were a blast on Reddit.

I have found !witchymemes@lemmy.world so far!

At the moment, it seems to be, “I can’t poop for 3 days.”

Great point that shareholders ruin everything. I invest but I’ll avoid certain companies or industries that don’t align with my values, even if those stocks have the most potential profitability. But this seems to be a very uncommon habit in the investing world.

Either cats or a vibrator.

Humans going extinct would probably be the most beneficial.

Canadian in a major city - yes, safe to drink right from the tap.

However, many remote communities here do not have access to safe drinking water.

I had actually thought about signing up for the basic plan because it is just me who likes it, but I was put off by the low quality.

Well - I guess now I’ll be officially sticking to Plex.

Pickles and bacon!

Great points here. Sometimes I will go for a walk and then wonder, why don’t I feel any better? And it’s likely because that wasn’t what I actually needed.

Thanks! Glad I asked - they made an interesting point at the end about younger people actually starting to prefer low to no alcohol in beer nowadays.

Anyone got a link to get around the paywall?

Same! I’ve curated my Subscribed list and I’m pretty happy on this instance so far. Very happy to be on a new forum with good people and all the content I need.

I think my favourite episode is Mr. Plow. :) Thanks for the reminder, I need to rewatch The Simpsons!

I’ve seen this with my Zoomer sister-in-law. She just recently learned how to use Microsoft - their home and school system was entirely Apple. She’s still not great at troubleshooting.

I used Apollo for over 5 years. Before that, I had an Android, so I used Baconreader and later Relay. Before THAT, I used Alien Blue.

Ever since the blackout, I have only visited Reddit once. Definitely making Lemmy my primary forum nowadays.
