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

Meta (parent company of Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat) is releasing their Twitter alternative this week, Threads.

There’s been some discussion on Lemmy recently about Meta sniffing around forums and the fediverse, so some people have wondered if Meta will get into this space too.

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!

Just found this instance and thought I’d do my part to help get things going. :)

Not sure how many people are subscribed to this community, but I think there’s a few of us out there!

I think every woman is forced to grapple with this question as they enter adulthood. What has been your experience? Did you change your priorities at any point?

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.

Sometimes I think I’ll be Hermione for life.
