You could block the OP who posts a lot of it but there are probably some other users that also post it.

Skibbidy reminds me so much of early YouTube though. It’s so fucking stupid and senseless.

I mean, between peanut butter jelly time, the fucking badger song, or even as far back as the bizarre dancing baby, it’s all dumb and senseless.

I’ve never gone to one but I have a friend that highly recommends fuck up nights (https://en.fuckupnights.com/).

Apparently it’s a group that like meets up and like tells each other how they fucked up at work/in life/whatever. Kind of works like a support group but also helps to develop public speaking in a super judgement free environment.

Not totally my cup of tea but it sounds super interesting.

Good luck! You got this :)

Honestly this would be the most Chaucer-like thing to do, so I can’t fault them.

I’m not sure what you mean by local as each indigenous nation presumably had their own way of referring to the land.

‘Turtle Island’ is the common translation for the ways that many Algonquian- and Iroquoian-speaking refer to North America.

Where I live (Lekwungen territory) means “place of the smoked herring”.

I’ve seen a few anti-immigrant comments pop up around here that have been upvoted and they’ve made me pretty sad.

This thread makes my immigrant ass happy though so thank y’all.

TIL. Goddamn it Alberta.

I’m not a bastard, but I’m a bandaid. My sister and I like to debate which is worse (:

That’s right, it’s an issue in Catholicism too. That’s why my sister wasn’t conceived before marriage, she was just born a few months early 😉😉

Can’t even get on the bus or easily apply for government programs/loans, or review your medical anything online without an app now in my province. There’s workarounds but they are not accessible.

Returned to the poor

Yeah there’s a few in Canada too that still use the coin. They usually will give you a coin to use if you go to customer service and ask. Most places just gave up though and abandoned that system. I wonder if it was costing them more to try to maintain or something. I’d imagine that people who have a cart tend to buy more, whereas if they’re forced to use baskets because they don’t have a coin, they might not buy as much. I know that’s the case for me at least.

Go all out and get Dick Wolf behind this. “Law and Order: Vigilante Justice” where the cops are all inept but there is a dedicated team of New Yorkers working together to bring justice to the streets of America.

That’s crazy, Americans would never vote in someone accused of such serious crimes right? A suspected felon could never be in the White House, that would be unthinkable!

This is insane peak capitalism at work. Paying “donations” to an organized group to provide food and shelter is literally just recreating what the government should be doing with taxes. If this cartel is real, it’s just criminalized socialism.

As long as they’re not hurting anyone, I’m not against it, but that’s just such a batshit crazy concept that that’s where we’re at with the world.

I haven’t done the type of deep dive research others mention here but I trusted my doctor when he told me this was a good choice for me. I also don’t live in the US so have no reason to believe he’s being paid off. If there are worse consequences than what I’ve discussed with him already, I guess I’ll have to deal with that.

There are also non-medicinal ways to treat binge eating, and I’ve known people that have had good success with therapy/CBT for that, in case that’s something you can afford or are interested in.

I’ll bite. I’m on it for what some people here would consider “recreational” purposes (weight loss). However, I have polycystic ovaries and have had extreme difficulty losing weight in other ways. Essentially the only way I can lose weight is doing a pretty severe calorie deficit, which is really hard to do and essentially means I am starving all the time. Ozempic has helped me curb that perpetual feeling of hunger, and besides diarrhea (which I already had often anyway), it hasn’t caused me that many side effects.

Essentially PCOS causes a craving for carbs and sugar. It’s hard to fill that hole, but there are other ways to supplement the things that my body is not creating which make me crave those things. While I’m on ozempic (I don’t plan on using it long-term) I’m also working to make changes to my diet to make sure I’m getting those things I was missing (B12, chromium picolante, some other stuff with scientific names).

And I know people think it’s just “lazy”, which it is for some people, but I struggle to lose weight even with exercise and calorie deficits. Ozempic has helped me lose some, but not as drastic as other people.

I have friends who are on waygovy (the same drug as ozempic but specifically targeted at weight loss) and they’ve had more side effects than me, but they are significantly bigger, have less healthy lifestyles and are I believe on a much higher dose than me. They’ve lost a ton of weight though.

Yeah I grew up without a kettle and just lived with shitty badly heated water. Got myself a kettle after moving out and improved my tea experience greatly.

I got my parents a kettle though because my mom, especially, drinks about 10 cups of hot water a day, but she hates the kettle and won’t use it. I do not understand.

Microwave can take 2-3 minutes depending on how hot you like it and how shitty your microwave is. They also tend to not heat evenly.

A good kettle might also take about 3 mins, though some can take up to 5 or 6, but you’re guaranteed properly heated water.
