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.

I’m so glad we destroyed the NDP for this…

Good luck! You got this :)

Literally just posted about this elsewhere but Hardbite are the best kettle chips hands down.

Not sure if this one is limited to BC but I also use Carina Organics for my hand and body soap. The hand soap in particular leaves such a nice feeling and scent (I buy the grapefruit), and they sell it at a lot of refill shops.

Another great one I discovered thanks to the boycott is Camino chocolate chips. So freaking good. I haven’t tried their other chocolate but I’m sure it’s probably delicious. Plus they are fair trade and a co-op.

In Canada it’s not even legal for employers to give gift cards out as gifts, let alone pay a fucking wage with them. (I mean they still give them as gifts but they’re not technically allowed to).

US is a fucking wild place.

They have Hard Bite near me which are arguably the best chips to come out of Canada since Lays Ketchup chips (by like a lot).

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

I believe you but I like it so much that I’m gonna start using it anyway.

Honestly same but with guys. Guys that are too keen on hurting a woman are obviously bad, but then they can go the other direction and not be willing to do something even if the woman is a very willing participant.

Not saying I blame them, it’s just a consequence of our society’s general issues with consent.

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”.

No I think he knows exactly what he’s doing and it has very little to do with anything Trump does, despite what he or anyone else says.

He’s handing our money to corporations and butt fucking us in a much quieter way than PP would have, but he seems to be doing it very intentionally.

I deal with it by trying my best but also a heavy dose of cognitive dissonance when required. And learning (painstakingly slowly) how to be compassionate to myself regarding my shortcomings of not being able to fix it all.

If heaven is really what they say it is, then absolutely you can suck a bag of dicks. I bet JC himself would join you.

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 know plenty of poor people or people that grew up lower class (including myself and my partner) who didn’t eat fast food every day.

There’s also plenty of rich people (like the orange moron) who very willingly eat fast food regularly.

Any of those people might have alcohol or substance use disorders, which are human conditions, and in no way mean a person is disgusting or undesirable.

And I’d argue that statistically, people who are more careful about their dietary intake, are also probably less likely to have alcohol dependence, but that’s purely an empirical observation, I’ve never checked the data on that.

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 😉😉

At my work there is like a 70-year-old security guard who spends his 12-hour days learning new languages. I don’t know how his other languages are, but when he speaks Spanish to me, he does so extremely well. The only issue is that sometimes he gets mixed up and speaks Mandarin instead of Spanish to me but we’re not gonna fault him for that one.

To be fair, the man is a retired physiology professor so he’s been learning his whole life and is probably a pretty smart dude, but I’m sure if you apply yourself and enjoy learning, you wouldn’t have an issue at least getting the basics of another language.
