I agree comparing a province to whole countries is a weird way to go about it. Ideally you'd find a comparable region in other countries to compare at least. But that data is probably hard to find. If it was part of a series with every province and territory getting their own poster though, that could kinda work.

Not one that required a subscription to operate, but I've heard those are out there too.

I guess I'm not surprised enshittification of physical objects is becoming more of a trend than an oddity, but it's still happening sooner than I expected. :/

You could almost call it... a mouse trap

Per hour? It's all a blur to me at this point.

War crimes "in honor of Shabbat"? I hope any remaining diaspora members of conscience who haven't already been troubled by all this are hearing about this framing. Both horrific in its malevolence and a misrepresentation of Judaism all in one go!

Thanks for the link. Not a bad distraction! I hope there's a large catalog in case I want to treat it like the random Stumble button of yore (which I must have hit hundreds of times at least).

StumbleUpon was the best. I do miss it.

Thanks, that sounds more like what I thought I heard about them before (though I think there's a touch more regulation in Canada, even here I know it's still predatory and should be avoided).

Seems to me it's because so many people don't have coherent political ideals of their own and are just identifying with this or that player or team. Lack of media literacy and the corporate control of mass media play into propagating this problem further, though it starts with upbringing, much like a religion.

There are ways to debate political issues without tying anything back to political parties. For a long time now, we could have used more of that both in schools and in the media.

Do payday lenders (like Money Mart or whatever) not charge fees unless someone is late on a payment? I honestly don't know how they work. I was under the impression that similarly, the only way Klarna and the others made money was by late payment fees since whenever they come up in a checkout it always says there are no fees (which I take to mean if payments are on time).

Condemn single mothers while promoting only "traditional families."

Should be: Condemn single mothers instead of absent parents.
