  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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

  Damn, sounds like a familiar story now

  Do you mean jello or gelatine because neither of those are jelly where I’m from, how dare you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Come one come all, it's time to unblock !conservative@lemmy.world and bring your best memes of conservatives!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She would be proud⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

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

  You’re welcome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A bit rubbery...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a heck of a lot more than mildly vulva

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The key is to match the 4/10 pain with a 8/10 high⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Current day America has proven beyond a doubt, humanity is the only animal that wouldn't jump out of a slowly boiling pot of water.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes I was gonna say Scandinavian countries too but I have heard of a lot of institutional and general racism there (although where isn’t there that right now…). Probably still a top choice though when it comes to run of the mill racism vs full on Nazis I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Current day America has proven beyond a doubt, humanity is the only animal that wouldn't jump out of a slowly boiling pot of water.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah most people were like “I’m moving to Canada!” Ignoring the fact that the person most likely to be PM in a couple months is also fully a Musk shill. Europe is pushing right-wing and the UK’s been down bad for a while. Maybe Australia or New Zealand?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been 30 years and I still can't get over the fact that the French word for "potatoes" is "ground apples." Have The French never had an apple?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Recently I watched an press event with a Canadian politician, who was switching between French and English as we must sometimes. He was talking about a bag of apples (which his colleague was holding) costing a stupid amount of money. He made the mistake of saying a bag of potatoes, which i found fucking hilarious as I speak both languages and understand the mistake. Unfortunately for him, the people criticising him were morons and were like WHY WOULD HE SAY POTATOES IS HE STUPID.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn right I'm a silly goose⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk if this is an effective life hack but I’ve seen a few instances where just appealing makes things go away (whether they were warranted or not).

  Just last week I had a friend appeal a ticket just because he didn’t realize it was paid parking, they let him go as a first time incident.

  My partner has appealed 3 tickets on separate occasions and gotten away pretty scot free (twice, a typo on the ticket and once the cop showed up to the appeal and told him to donate some money to charity in lieu of forcing him to pay the ticket). Most of the time it’s more effort for them to fight you on it, so you might as well try ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn right I'm a silly goose⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought they just meant because it’s paid parking not that they didn’t know how to park. Many jobs I’ve had have paid parking, which is bonkers to think you’re paying to be at work but such is capitalism.
