Ah okay. In Canada the day after remembrance day is usually the “respectful” start of the season.

So, tomorrow presumably?

Can I do the lobbying thing to get a nice human rights or climate law passed or is 100M still too poor for that

I would spend all 100M to get ads put up all over the country of people who have wronged me and my loved ones. They’ll just be like really awful pictures of them with really petty captions like “doesn’t help carry suitcases”, “laughed at a disabled person”, “sneezed too loud that one time”. That’ll show them.

I’m not American and actually don’t know much about him but aside from the one glaring topic in that wiki, he sounds ok to me? Curious as to what shitty things he’s done if anyone feels like sharing.

Editing to say: the one glaring topic is a pretty fucking important topic in my books, but I don’t imagine any other American politician with a chance having a different opinion on the matter

If Danny DeVito were president, I would love to America in a heartbeat.

I love that everyone else here is saying they’d move to Canada. I also live in the PNW and as much as I hate how expensive it is, I do not see myself wanting to go anywhere else. Somewhere else in the province? Maybe. But it’s fucking beautiful here and I’m not gonna pretend it’s not.

I’ve been here for almost a year and I still don’t understand links here. It’s ok, we can get by.

Before I was officially in tech support but I was the unofficial helper in my office. I don’t recall the exact issue this person was having on their desktop but I went over to help and said “have you tried restarting?” This person, a millennial, probably younger or the same age as me, then pressed the power button on the monitor to “restart”. I’m still reeling.

Well but it makes sense you would’ve wanted to him to do that if the guy was being that much of a prick

The funniest part to me about this is that I’ve definitely thought of ! as capital 1 before

I was just over there by accident (not logged in) and yes they had the mega thread but literally every other post on that front page was about it. And many of them were not left leaning at all.

I’m the youngest but most mature so I’m a great big sis. Fuck the system.

Do you drink too much because everything’s super fucked though?

Damn this is how I found out. Extra sad now, thanks.

I used to do transcription on the side but tech has really killed that in the last few years. Still get a few jobs once in a while but really just do it for fun now more than an actual money making thing.

This is probably gross for some people but my mom tests by slightly poking with a thumbnail. If it breaks the skin, it’s good to go.

I love bidets but still don’t agree with the idea of air drying because man idk what kind of bidet you’re using but the amount of times mine hasn’t finished the job… Maybe there’s just something wrong with my asshole.

Fun story: my boyfriend and his sister used to live together and we’d all party at their place. After months of his sister crushing hard on this guy she worked with, she and him had gone to her room for some alone time. Her asshole brother decided that was the time to blast this audio directly through her bedroom door.

8 years later and they’re still dating so I guess it worked.

For short term relief/emotional regulation my counsellor taught me TIPP Temperature - cold water/ice/object to lower heart rate Intense exercise - a few mins of jumping jacks/running on the spot/shaking it off Paced breathing/box breathing Paired muscle relaxation - tense and relax different muscle groups

When I’m anxious I tend to get overactive so the ones that help me most are splashing cold water on my face and the intense exercise.

Anxiety during bedtime or if I have time during the day, ASMR or a well paced peaceful podcast also do the trick.

I think I will try the slower speed music, that sounds interesting.
