- Comment on If a gay man and lesbian woman have sex, is that gay or straight? 20 hours ago:
You know it’s not a great question but it’s better to ask in a relatively safe environment than to make assumptions.
- Comment on Me when I zoom past traffic on my e-scooter 4 days ago:
My favourite thing to do is ‘race’ the person who offers me a ride home all the time. Like, I appreciate the offer but trust me, I will be home before you could get me there AND I’ll get to enjoy the sunshine.
- Comment on What is the evolutionary benefit of loving a pet so much you melt into a puddle when they are around? 5 days ago:
I know you’re right, but I actually think this one is an evolutionary benefit, just not ours. The cuteness traits won the evolutionary race because cuteness causes this feeling in humans that will make them more likely to get taken in by us.
(I don’t know shit about science, I just think pets have their shit figured out)

- Comment on Excellent tip 1 week ago:
Oh this is wild to me too. I work IT support and we recently started swapping everyone to W11, and as soon as I upgraded mine I turned off all their ads, news/weather popups, Bing search garbage. When I ask people if they want help to get rid of it they’re like “nah I’ll just live with it” as if it wasn’t the most distracting thing in the gd world.
- Comment on Is Marlon Brando in Heat? 1 week ago:
Young men in this day and age are particularly unwell. Though this might be a good meditation?
- Comment on Love me a Legume Garlic BLT 1 week ago:
All LGBTQIA+ people are cool, but I draw the line at landlords. Enough is enough, goddamnit.
- Comment on Vintage 1 week ago:
Okay but why does this look better than the actual thing though
- Comment on Smh being fired for police work 1 week ago:
Hey at least they fired the guy. How many US cops do you think have been accused of sexual harassment and not been fired? (It’s a lot, I bet)
- Comment on Smh being fired for police work 1 week ago:
Promoted!
- Comment on Smh being fired for police work 1 week ago:
This is the most fucking UK thing I’ve ever seen, like I know it’s sexual harassment and gross, but I swear to god I knew at least 10 dudes that would’ve done this and laughed their ass off in college.
- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 1 week ago:
Lol yeah sorry I should’ve said drag queen competitions. What you described happens to me all the time in reverse when people talk about car drag racing. I watch too much RuPaul.
- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 1 week ago:
Circus comparison is good but I prefer drag race. It’s a bunch of (generally) men in costumes and make up performing very well-practiced routines for the sole purpose of entertainment, with one rigged winner at the end.
Maybe wrestling fans wouldn’t like that comparison as much.
- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 1 week ago:
Bless project managers. The ones I’ve seen in IT seem generally better off because programmers and engineers seem to be better at getting their work done, but outside of IT, it’s like herding cats trying to get people to do their shit. I do not understand how any of you can do it full time.
I’ve done my fair share of project coordination and have had people tell me I should go into project management officially but quite frankly I’d rather chew glass. Y’all are saints.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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.
- Comment on We are so cooked 4 weeks ago:
Idk, I heard that trans people and immigrants are murdering bees.
- Comment on Get cancer screening guys 5 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 1 month 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.
- Comment on Good vibes 1 month ago:
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? 1 month 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? 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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? 1 month 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.
