Wow, so glad this brave American here could teach me so much about my own country. Let me just call up my drug dealing prime minister governor and demand that he fix Canada immediately lest we face more punishment from Poppa Cheeseball. Thank you r/conservative, I’d be so lost without you proper Americans leading the way.
I saw in another article what the “three line message” was:
“Application declined. Thanks for your interest. And by the way, we don’t think you’re qualified.”
And while I don’t care for the guy, as someone who’s been trying to find another job for like a fucking year, this hit me so hard.
I’ve done a few deep dives into the various controversies surrounding the Liberal leadership in this province (I was a bit young to understand it when it was happening) but every single time, I manage to be more shocked at how they got away with so much for so freaking long.
So fluoride is too much, but poop is okay? Got it.
Yep pretty much same thing different name.
I make them with chicken thighs (marinated with this recipe), then hummus, tzatziki, lettuce, tomato, red onion, feta, and sriracha.
Usually the chicken thighs hold well in the fridge for 3-4 days, just nuke them with a bit of water for moisture.
Pasta for us.
I also like to do pita wraps/donairs sometimes that last us a couple days. Just cut up all the ingredients on the first day and then it’s just an easy warm up the pita and stuff it with the chicken and veg the next day. Works well for taco mix too like ground beef, just swap the pita bread for tortilla.
How do you get rice to hold well? It’s always dry as shit and never as good the next day for me.
Yeah it’s marketed as being able to detect urine irregularities in cats so it changes colour with their pee. It also supposedly “locks” in the smell which, to their credit, I couldn’t smell the cat shit, all I could smell was dust.
It’s also made of silicone which, you know, not meant to be eaten so I’m sure that’s great for cats to have in the fur they clean with their mouths.
I really didn’t do my research on this one.
You didn’t do anything wrong, especially if it was a social group chat intentionally created for that. I think the idea of “never talk to your colleagues” is a bit wild tbh. There’s a time and a place, certainly, but unless the chat was created strictly for talking about schoolwork, you did nothing wrong. In many courses I’ve taken, professors will create these social spaces (especially in virtual environments) specifically for people to network and get to know each other. Don’t overdo it, but unless you were literally spamming unrelated crap, I don’t see any issue with what you did.
Don’t feel bad that it bothered you either. It wasn’t a very kind or necessary comment, and if the person was bothered by the notifications they could’ve just turned them off, they didn’t have to try to embarrass you. But as others have said, you’ll hopefully grow out of giving a shit when people are jerks.
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 those beliefs have 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.
Yep! Even when I’ve disagreed with people, it’s been more of an exchange of knowledge rather than one person asking for citations and then proceeding to ignore them all.
It’s okay to disagree, sometimes you can learn from each other :)
Not stuck anymore but I was for like a month. I bought Pretty Litter cause multiple drag queens I liked told me to do so. That is the worst goddamn litter I have EVER used in my life. The smell was horrendous, the dust was so so bad I actually couldn’t even be in the next room when my partner did the litter because of my allergies, and our house looked like a fucking beach. Fuck those people. (And shame on me for falling for goddamn ads)
Yeah I “fell” for it cause I can’t afford a house/don’t have parents that can help with a down payment. But seeing how much shit my homeowner friends have to deal with makes me honestly pretty grateful not to be a homeowner.
I know there’s downsides, but I don’t want kids and am locked in at COVID pricing, so I don’t really care for purchasing anything either.
Oh I still love mine after 5 years. It’s medium firm, so maybe an extra firm one wouldn’t have held up as well.
I’m pretty now that ankle socks are back in style, ankle tattoos of oldie cartoons are 100% allowed and cool again.
Nevermind: I got confused, ankle socks are out of style now.
Yeah I understand people’s fears and, especially being on the island and significantly closer and more isolated to the US is a bit scary, but I feel like if he’s gonna attack anywhere, he’ll go south first before he comes north. Which, as a Mexican Canadian, just as bad imo, but at least it’s not where I am physically?
But I don’t really think he’s ready to start actual wars that close to home soil.
The only ‘dispute’ I know about on Hans island was the Whisky Dispute, which was resolved peacefully after years of soldiers ‘claiming’ the land by stealing each other’s flags and leaving booze for each other. More like a very lazy game of capture the flag if you ask me.
Are these the armed raids you refer to?
Honestly I buy local as much as I can but when I do my ‘big’ shops I’m still going to Costco. I don’t care that they’re American, I’m still putting my faith in them over Loblaws.
All my fresh produce is from local stores and I only buy used otherwise. I’m doing my best but I fucking hate Loblaws.
Yeah with the way they’re treating their health and safety regulators, there’s gonna be a ton of outbreaks in the next few years that I would rather stay the f on that side of the border please.
