For a split second I thought this was in the US.

And honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone told me this is already Law in the US.

Good news: This will result in more average-user understanding of the fediverse, getting past the consistent issue of people not understanding it. It will increase the Fediverse’s usershare by a considerable amount. And to top it all off, it will probably cause a snowball which will make the Fediverse as a whole eclipse twitter.

Bad news: This is being done by facebook, willingly. Any company that is taking action like this is doing so for their own benefit and no one elses. This may be detrimental to the Fediverse in the long run if users opt to all just jump on to Threads because of some obnoxious ‘Embrace, Extend, Extinguish’ tactic they may or may not pull in the future.

Yes technically it’s not real wasabi.

But root beer sold now isn’t technically real root beer.

And most American foods are varying degrees of fake anyway.

In the US, fake foods are often preferred over their authentic originals.

Well, I use wasabi to clear my sinuses.

And that feeling is certainly memorable.

My brain after reading the title:

While the average hourly wage for men was $35.50 last year, Indigenous women earned an average of $26.74 an hour. Indigenous men earned an average wage of $31.03 an hour. Immigrant women earned an average of $28.78 an hour compared with immigrant men, who earned an average of $36.42 an hour.

In “Freedom” money:

• 35.50 CAD = 25.63 USD
• 26.74 CAD = 19.30 USD
• 31.03 CAD = 22.40 USD
• 28.78 CAD = 20.77 USD
• 36.42 CAD = 26.29 USD

Meanwhile here in the “land of the free” where those conversions are relevant, my hourly isn’t even close to that 19.30 USD.
