Ford is getting high on his brother’s crack stash again. He pulls this ‘for the people’ act to gain public support. Then once he’s sitting pretty he’ll start doing the bidding for his wealthy friends for kickbacks.

Don’t believe the hype. Ford killed millions of people during Covid. He slashed healthcare and public education and environmental protections while his friends got richer

The problem is Canada needs America to be strong. We are stronger together. So the idea of “taking down America” isn’t smart.

The entire world benefits from a strong America.

What it doesn’t benefit from is a wannabe dictator sociopath rapist who doesn’t play by international rules.

As a driver, I used to be a bike lane hater. But then I moved to the suburbs. They benefit both the driver and the cyclist. They keep everyone safe and help traffic move along.

The worst is when a bus or large truck has to suddenly switch lanes to avoid a cyclist sharing the road. That greatly slows down traffic and creates an unsafe environment.

We don’t get many cyclists out here but we have bike lanes now and I think that’s best for everyone except Doug Ford and his cronies 🙃

I dropped $35 on action figures 🤓. I’m trying to cut back tho!

Processing the death of your parents and how that changes a person. And/or watching your parents cognitive abilities decline.

I wasn’t raised in a loving caring home. So it was incredibly alien to care for my parents as they got older. Helping them get dressed, taking them to appointments. Having tough conversations with them about their end-of-life wishes.

Not a topping but mustard as a dipping sauce for my pizza crust. I’m not a crust person. But dipping dry crunchy crust into mustard almost feels like eating a pretzel.

Tastes great with pepperoni too.

I worked retail all my life. I was so embarrassed. I swore that once I get “a real job” (read: Corporate) I would love it and it would be so much more respected.

Been working Corporate for 20yrs now and I hate it. Soul sucking, dream crushing, energy draining. At least with retail I’d get a little discount. Now all I get is an occasional pizza party 😭😭😭

“Why you gotta be so ruuuuude?” Ugh

You can’t rationalize with crazy. You gotta beat crazy with crazy.

I bop to Kidz Bop.

Ontario Liberals and NDP propped up Wynne (incumbent), Del Duca, Horwath, Stiles and Crombie against Ford and overwhelmingly lost. It’s incredible to me how Ontario can’t find a strong, charismatic, left-leaning leader that can beat Ford in a popularity contest.

The question was “What type of stuff are you buying off Aliexpress?”

I started responding with “toys, cleaning supplies, phone cases, etc.” And then I noticed I was responding to a post on ** Aliexpress@programming.dev**

So I felt like my response wouldn’t be as helpful or would be off-topic because I was responding on the programming.dev instance.

Right? That makes sense right? LOL

I start to respond to a post or comment that I see on NEW. I finish and right before I hit post, I notice the instance/server is completely unrelated to my response and I deleted my post :) - It’s an added nuance to Lemmy that takes some getting used to.

Golden.

You can still browse and your comments still remain up. But you can no longer post or comment further. I’ll still get upvotes / replies to old comments. I just can’t respond

I pulled the hydrometer out of my cigar humidor to became more aware of the dampness of my basement. I also spent over $1,000 on evicting a family of raccoons out from under my backyard deck. So yeah, I get it HAH

I’m in the same boat. Bought a home in 2020. It’s been a constant stream of fixes and updates and replacements. My mortgage payments are high enough. Now we’re dumping thousands of dollars on flood prevention, evestrough replacement, random leaky pipes, furnace cleaning, deck refinishing, grass and landscaping. Wife and I both work full-time. We are dipping into savings to upkeep our home. I totally regret it. Should have bought a 2-3bed condo instead. At least we could plan for the monthly condo fees and not worry about sudden emergency fixes. I don’t know. I hate it.

Hi Stranger. At 21, this is a great opportunity for you to work on yourself and learn to pull yourself together. Work on your confidence. You don’t need a boy to make you feel seen and respected. Become strong, independent, follow your interests and join clubs or sports teams. Explore your community and join a committee. You’ll soon realize that you are incredible on your own and that you deserve better than a long distance relationship with limited contact. Good luck!

the thing about having your soul-sucked is that you can bounce back and recover. and let me tell ya, it’s a whole lot easier to recover with money than without. The second part of your response seems to come with a little baggage. Maybe you should follow the money to afford a therapist? LOL
