  Lol yeah sorry I should’ve said drag queen competitions. What you described happens to me all the time in reverse when people talk about car drag racing. I watch too much RuPaul.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason?⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Circus comparison is good but I prefer drag race. It’s a bunch of (generally) men in costumes and make up performing very well-practiced routines for the sole purpose of entertainment, with one rigged winner at the end.

  Maybe wrestling fans wouldn’t like that comparison as much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do office workers actually do?⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Bless project managers. The ones I’ve seen in IT seem generally better off because programmers and engineers seem to be better at getting their work done, but outside of IT, it’s like herding cats trying to get people to do their shit. I do not understand how any of you can do it full time.

  I’ve done my fair share of project coordination and have had people tell me I should go into project management officially but quite frankly I’d rather chew glass. Y’all are saints.

  I also heard Obama supports Trump, so if you like Trump it means you like Obama and that makes u a dumb librul. Checkmate, everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone should be required to take Plain Language writing courses.

  There’s a lot of factors at play, but who cares really. Writing in plain language makes it accessible for everyone and doesn’t hurt anyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The one good thing about all this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Other than the crippling economic crisis it’s putting us through, I really like that things in the grocery store are better labelled to show they’re local or Canadian now. I’ve always preferred to buy local because it’s better for the environment, now it’s easier.

  Only one for me was blockbuster. I was more of a Rogers video child, I’m not sure we even had a blockbuster near us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clean butt⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Paid $50 for mine like 7 years ago. Is it fancy? Heck no. Does it clean my butt real good? Heck yes.

  When I can afford a fancy heated, air drying bidet that will be my goalpost of success.

  Idk, I heard that trans people and immigrants are murdering bees.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get cancer screening guys⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not intending to be that person but are you a male? Cause many women I know have asked for blood work when things don’t feel right and are turned away (and there are statistics on that statement).

  I’m glad your cancer got caught and is curing up though! I just can’t can’t imagine, after the experiences I’ve had with doctors, being like “oh no can you just run this test” and them just doing it.

  Probably wouldn’t work very well if you’re talking to a terminal patient

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there mass protests in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In Canada we see a lot less of that due to rules around news and reporting on social media, but there’s a push for better regulation still. I worry it’s not enough to keep us clear of the conservatives this election.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there mass protests in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I really hope you’re right. I’m actually very scared that they’ll take over our social media this election season and we’ll get fucked as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pineapple was never the problem⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m less worried about the banana + cheese combo than I am about the colour of those bananas. All I can taste is the disgusting rubbery pucks that bananas turn into when precut.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SHUT UP ABOUT NICOLE⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I got a message from her yesterday and I had never talked about her before so I don’t think you can summon her that way. I can forward you the message if that’ll make you feel better. I’ll be your Nicole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why build for tomorrow when it's someone else's tomorrow?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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 that’s 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.

  I think that 4chan started a lot of this apocalypse that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does most religion talk about their GOD being male? Especially Christains and Muslims. Is there a prominent female god that as big as the other two that I am missing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Outside of Western religions there are plenty of other cool non-male deities. There’s lots of pagan goddesses.

  The only “feminine” or female deity that is maybe as well known as “God” would be like nature as it is often referred to as “mother” nature and in she/her. Though I’m not sure pantheists or other religions would refer to her strictly as a goddess.

  Western religions talk about a male god because western societies are patriarchal; they need it to support a male-dominated societal structure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨if im going to put a flag on my front porch like all my neighbors, its going to be a pizza flag.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In Canada a bunch of people brought their flags back because of the bullshit threats.

  The issue remains that last time a bunch of Canadians got their flag out was in support of the idiot convoy that crossed Canada in support of ignorance and white supremacy.

  I understand and appreciate solidarity against the American government, but I’d like it if we could go back to not waving our colonial flag everywhere.

  You can still watch cat videos, they’re just sandwiched in between hell and sadness to keep you scrolling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I would let a chip be installed in my brain if it would allow me to erase memories of the games I have played to play them again as the first time.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes games cause such a strong emotional reaction for me that I genuinely cannot recreate the same feeling. Same with books and movies. I end up feeling nostalgic for when I first discovered it.

  Sure a new game might be really good and immersive in a similar way, but it’ll never be the same, y’know?

  Here’s a fun fact I never needed to know: my grandmother had eight children in her life and never had a single orgasm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The key is to match the 4/10 pain with a 8/10 high⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My RMT today was going through the initial questions and asked “pain?” With regards to my physical pain, and then went “stress?” And my brain short-circuited and I said “isn’t that the same thing” so I’d say 10/10 for both in these times, thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Makes your jaw drop in amazement⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While this execution is gross, I had a coworker whose husband worked at the dump and he got his hands on a portapotty (like the construction ones). Cleaned it out, took it home and built a nice little outhouse around it. It was perfect for when they were in hot tub or just hanging out outside and didn’t want to wet/muddy the house.
