Just another appreciation comment here. Thank you! Glad it was just temporary, and hope it doesn’t cause you too much stress.

This happened to my friends. They bought tickets, the flight got cancelled, they never got informed, they continued to get regular flight reminders, including a week before the “flight” and a reminder the night before to check in. They chose not to check in online, went to the airport, and were told at the check in desk that the flight didn’t exist. Not just the flight, the route. The route they were flying no longer existed, and they still got notifications. Ridiculous.

Oh, and the kicker… they got emails afterwards asking them to rate the flight!

Agreed, but also eye-witness testimony is notoriously inaccurate.

PP trying to frame income/property-value disparity as a purely Canadian problem that has only happened under Trudeau is just pure fallacy. It’s happening in countries all over the world and it has been growing under every government in Canada for decades.

Usenet requires paying for a service though, right?

The confirmation on exit (back button when on the main screen) is why I stayed with this instead of the other apps I’ve tried!

But agreed, having something like that as an option makes sense.

Canada in general made me happier. Not necessarily the companies specifically. As much as we can complain about our health care issue here in Canada, the social safety net here is significantly better. And I had “good” insurance coverage in the states. It was a constant fear of getting sick or injured and ending up in the wrong hospital and not getting covered (or any number of other reasons). Add to that the social pressure to spend money on everything in the states. Everyone I knew down there was in debt up to their eyeballs, no matter how much they made. It was ridiculous.

I understand where you’re coming from, but we’re taking about having a really high paying job in the US or a high paying job in Canada. The types of jobs getting H1-B visas are high paying tech jobs.

Things are also more expensive than you might think in the US. And there always seems to be a lot of social pressure to spend more money in the US - more so than Canada in my experience. So in a lot of ways, you could be better off in some places even if you have a lower paying job.

Nice, maybe I’ll try to create a Lemmy.ca account again at some point. My first attempt a while back disappeared into the ether.

Yes, but, money isn’t everything. I once left a high paying job in the US to come back to Canada, get paid less, and be way happier.

Working for a US company and living in Canada is a good way to go, but is harder to swing if you are not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.

Plus it sounds like the people they’re talking about in this scenario may have their H1-B revoked and they wouldn’t have a job or a visa to stay in the US at all. Canada, even with a lower paying job seems like a good option.

Watch your cornhole, bud

Whoa… TruckBC. Now my feed feels like home.

This is pretty nuts! I’ve been in the dark all day so this is the first I’m hearing of it. That’s some epic damage.

My guess is someone at the credit card company screwed up. May have even been someone new.

Recumbent bike enters the chat…

I think the idea here is that it’s a man-made reservoir and they’re not worried about maintaining an ecosystem.

Cool, thanks!

I see the issue is closed, does that mean another request for this sub will work?

The RIF way!

I’m not sure why you’re telling me what you want but I think it works the way I would expect it to. The comment I long press collapses.
