Don’t kill yourself to raise the dead. It is not your job to fix anyone or be their mother. A good relationship (platonic or romantic) is about “whole” people sharing their lives, not about any 'halves" completing each other.

Also, go to therapy or counselling if you can afford it. It is worth it!!

On it.

I wouldn’t want to give any money to her but I also wouldn’t be opposed to purchasing HP books from a thrift store that donates funds to charity and then burning them just for the sake of removing just a little bit of her legacy from the world.

I don’t know what face scan as I haven’t flown into the states in a very long time.

In Canada we have a machine at customs that takes your picture when you come into the country. This isn’t optional. I take the opportunity to make the absolute most ridiculous face I can every time and it brings me copious amount of joy. It then prints out a little slip that I give to the customs person at the gate who is usually chatting and doesn’t even look at it. I imagine those slips go somewhere, though I couldn’t really care less where.

Ok but wearing shoes is a social construct. People didn’t wear shoes for thousands of years before shoes came along and they were just fine and full of blisters.

Yeah I mean the hatred for immigrants is certainly growing worldwide

Bill c5 and bill c2 seem to be a lot more overreaching than what the liberal government was putting out before, plus they at least had the NDP to safeguard a bit. I certainly feel like they’re moving in a bolder (worse) direction.

Jagmeet was already calling for a lot of the stuff that Zohran did, but I agree, they need a new face and spin.

When I want to grow up I want to be Old Man Shooting Oranges at Teens in Park

I’ve been yelling about this bill for weeks. It’s an extremely disturbing government overreach, but this seems to be the way the new liberal government is moving in general.

Not so shitty anymore

This is a bit different than what I think you were asking but when I was a kid my dad would lift me up by my ears as a fun game. He’d essentially hold me by my head and lift.

When I was around 18, I went to play this game with a kid, and then I said what my dad always said before he’d lift me up by my ears: “okay, but you have to hold on to my arms for safety!”

Gotta say I felt a little betrayed when the realization sunk in.

Because we entrusted our country to a person that cares about one bottom line only and doesn’t actually give a fuck about telling trump to piss off?

Ah yes because the prime minister or president of a country represents the character of every single person in that county.

Guess that means all Americans are egotistic psychopaths.

Mom, mamá or viejita (old lady) when I’m feeling brave. Sometimes when I’m feeling extra brave (and playful), I use her childhood nickname that she hates because it’s funny.

I know Carney’s not even close to as bad as Trump but he literally just called for a “Zionist Palestine”

Also, have you ever heard of Doug and Rob Ford?

I think We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank (Modest Mouse) and Give Up (Postal Service) would be my top full albums.

Sounds silly but Enema of the State (Blink 182) also causes me to have a strong emotional reaction mostly because of Adam’s Song but it’s also just one of my favourite albums of all time so it brings up lots of emotions, good and bad.

Also you can probably tell what kind of childhood I had given these choices LOL.

Someone just set off a bomb in front of a politicians office in my province. Not confirmed but fairly certain that was a protest.

Pride turned more into a celebration rather than a protest in recent years with the capitalization of it, but due to recent regression I can imagine it going back to more intense protests in some towns at least now.

Depends where you live but most of the time the government does try to keep even controversial protests pretty light with the excuse of keeping people safe, but there’s always more extreme action that people take, it maybe just doesn’t get shown as a “protest” per se.

Is there any chance that the judges can “buy” their survey responses? E.g. if they pay off the people taking the survey? Or is it all totally anonymous?

(I’m not American, just curious)

This is why many people I know have started referring to themselves as members of the “global majority” rather than “minority”.

But also, yeah this is a class war and if the lower classes stopped perpetuating the division that the wealthy/powerful have forced on us, we could all make everything better. Eat the rich.
