Your metaphor of multiple instances = multiple “Reddits” is exactly how I think of it as a layperson!

A few other people use the email metaphor, but I found it not as digestible since email is not a forum.

You did an amazing job! And extra awesome to not only upcycle, but also give back to tour community.

When it comes to income and taxation, there is a lot more grey than you think.

Technically, ALL income for business-earning purposes should be reported and taxed accordingly.

Regarding taxation of the buyer, at least in Canada, GST is generally not applicable until the seller is earning $30K+.

But REALISTICALLY - no taxation agency really cares about 1 chair.

I probably wouldn’t consider it a black market/underground economy unless it was significant and ongoing. E.g., your neighbours REGULARLY sell chairs for profit and don’t report their earnings.

So frustrating to see city councillors originally voting down the housing affordability recommendations because they included zoning for more duplexes, townhouses, etc. Good heavens - it is not like someone is putting up a pig farm in your backyard.

All in all, very cool to see Calgary getting attention on the international stage.

I loved those books as a kid. I’ll need to go out and find a set to read with my own kid someday.

Matilda is still a joy to read as an adult!

Same here. I put a lot of effort into carefully curating my subscribed list on Apollo - it definitely made the experience much more enjoyable.

The pessimistic Internet user in me knows we are in the honeymoon stage of a wonderful user base.

I agree, the hardest part for me was getting started.

“I like news - I’ll just register on the news Lemmy!” Ah. Sweet summer child.

Luckily I stumbled across my current instance and the creator seemed friendly and like a decent human being. But I doubt many casual Redditors will have the same patience to figure it out.

Oh shoot. I’m glad you posted this as I just made a post and completely misinterpreted the message - I selected “English.” Hopefully that won’t filter it from too many users!

I haven’t been able to get out for a hike this weekend, but I’ve started gardening for the first time ever. I’m growing carrots and lettuce in a hand-me-down VegePod! Can you find the sprouts that appeared yesterday?
