- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 6 days ago:
Everyone should be required to take Plain Language writing courses.
There’s a lot of factors at play, but who cares really. Writing in plain language makes it accessible for everyone and doesn’t hurt anyone.
- Comment on The one good thing about all this 6 days ago:
Other than the crippling economic crisis it’s putting us through, I really like that things in the grocery store are better labelled to show they’re local or Canadian now. I’ve always preferred to buy local because it’s better for the environment, now it’s easier.
- Comment on Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE 1 week ago:
Only one for me was blockbuster. I was more of a Rogers video child, I’m not sure we even had a blockbuster near us.
- Comment on Clean butt 1 week ago:
Paid $50 for mine like 7 years ago. Is it fancy? Heck no. Does it clean my butt real good? Heck yes.
When I can afford a fancy heated, air drying bidet that will be my goalpost of success.

Idk, I heard that trans people and immigrants are murdering bees.
- Comment on Get cancer screening guys 2 weeks ago:
I’m not intending to be that person but are you a male? Cause many women I know have asked for blood work when things don’t feel right and are turned away (and there are statistics on that statement).
I’m glad your cancer got caught and is curing up though! I just can’t can’t imagine, after the experiences I’ve had with doctors, being like “oh no can you just run this test” and them just doing it.
- Comment on He's just eccentric 3 weeks ago:
I had to clean out my uncle’s house when he passed away suddenly. Among many other things, this man had a box full of gum wrappers perfectly folded into little triangles. But don’t worry, I’ve been assured he wasn’t autistic, he was just a little antisocial and odd.

Probably wouldn’t work very well if you’re talking to a terminal patient
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 3 weeks ago:
In Canada we see a lot less of that due to rules around news and reporting on social media, but there’s a push for better regulation still. I worry it’s not enough to keep us clear of the conservatives this election.
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 3 weeks ago:
I really hope you’re right. I’m actually very scared that they’ll take over our social media this election season and we’ll get fucked as well.
- Comment on Pineapple was never the problem 3 weeks ago:
I’m less worried about the banana + cheese combo than I am about the colour of those bananas. All I can taste is the disgusting rubbery pucks that bananas turn into when precut.
- Comment on SHUT UP ABOUT NICOLE 4 weeks ago:
I got a message from her yesterday and I had never talked about her before so I don’t think you can summon her that way. I can forward you the message if that’ll make you feel better. I’ll be your Nicole.
- Comment on Science has not gone far enough 4 weeks ago:
The material is significantly better than other memory foam pillows of similar shape that I’ve had, but I suspect part of it is the gimmick too of like a medically approved custom sized pillow. I’ve had it for about a year now though and unlike other memory foam ones I’ve had, it’s kept its shape very well and is still as comfortable as when I first got it.
- Comment on Science has not gone far enough 4 weeks ago:
I’m not super sure but I think they just give you a different size that’s better fitted for in between. Mine is just a tad bit too tall if I sleep on my back, but I had requested a side sleeper only.
- Comment on Science has not gone far enough 4 weeks ago:
It’s one of these bad boys. Mine is specifically for side sleeping but they have back sleeper ones too.
- Comment on How come in most school in the USA (at least mine) they teach Spain Spanish instead of Mexico Spanish? Would not Mexico Spanish be an obvious choice to teach? 4 weeks ago:
Does it? My partner has learned some very strange words I have never heard used in mexico. But I guess the rest of Latin America also uses different dialects.
- Comment on I recommend you don't watch this 4 weeks ago:
What a dopamine hit, I need more of this.
- Comment on Science has not gone far enough 4 weeks ago:
I suffered for so long and then finally caved and bought a custom-fit pillow for side sleeping. Literally had to go to a physio to measure the space between my neck and the end of my shoulder. It was some of the best $200 I have ever spent, I cannot recommend it enough.
- Comment on Why build for tomorrow when it's someone else's tomorrow? 1 month ago:
I think Western society/individualism has erased a lot of this but for centuries before colonialism and still in a lot of indigenous and non-western societies, it’s expected to respect your elders and take care of them. In turn, they should be aiming to build that respect for themselves and to be a good ancestor for those preceding them. You see this all across indigenous belief systems - your society/nature will take care of you just as you took care of it.
The reason nobody did shit for us is because that’s been overridden by colonialism and individualistic mindsets. Humans aren’t meant to be as selfish as we’ve become, that’s why we’re so unhappy.

Damn, sounds like a familiar story now

I think that 4chan started a lot of this apocalypse that way.

Idk what rice hot dish is but it looks just like my vomit from last week.
- Comment on Why does most religion talk about their GOD being male? Especially Christains and Muslims. Is there a prominent female god that as big as the other two that I am missing? 1 month ago:
Outside of Western religions there are plenty of other cool non-male deities. There’s lots of pagan goddesses.
The only “feminine” or female deity that is maybe as well known as “God” would be like nature as it is often referred to as “mother” nature and in she/her. Though I’m not sure pantheists or other religions would refer to her strictly as a goddess.
Western religions talk about a male god because western societies are patriarchal; they need it to support a male-dominated societal structure.

You can still watch cat videos, they’re just sandwiched in between hell and sadness to keep you scrolling.

Here’s a fun fact I never needed to know: my grandmother had eight children in her life and never had a single orgasm.
You’re welcome.

I wonder if me accidentally kicking over a table full of mirrors in 7th grade caused this timeline to go the way it has

Stop gaslighting me, doctor.
- Comment on A bit rubbery... 2 months ago:
That’s a heck of a lot more than mildly vulva
- Comment on The key is to match the 4/10 pain with a 8/10 high 2 months ago:
My RMT today was going through the initial questions and asked “pain?” With regards to my physical pain, and then went “stress?” And my brain short-circuited and I said “isn’t that the same thing” so I’d say 10/10 for both in these times, thank you.
