Can we just give these people diabetes? Just for shits and giggles?
- Comment on King Charles III arrives in Canada to underscore its sovereignty after Trump annexation threats 1 week ago:
"However, the new U.S. ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, said sending messages isn’t necessary and Canadians should move on from the 51st state talk, telling the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that if there’s a message to be sent there are easier ways to do that, such as calling him or calling the president.” SERIOUSLY?? Calling the Cheeto man that threatened to annex Canada? The Cheeto man that has set up Tariffs against Canada? You can’t take that shit back Hoekstra. FUCK YOU!!

Seeing recipes from everywhere but the US, and Americans asking to have the recipe ingredients converted “for them”. Sheesh…

Every time I see these posts: The happiest countries in the world are consistently: The Nordic countries are often considered happy due to high levels of social trust, strong welfare systems, and low income inequality, which contribute to a sense of security and well-being among their citizens. Additionally, their effective governance and access to quality public services play a significant role in enhancing overall life satisfaction. These governments are working for the people, not oligarchs.
- Comment on Life is unfair to landlords 3 weeks ago:
My mother was deserted by our father in the 60s. She had 4 children. She found a rental house. Our landlords became like family. She struggled, but always paid the rent, and our house was always well looked after. As an adult, I suspect the couple that owned the property never raised the rent. I don’t know that for sure as I didn’t have the opportunity to ask my Mom before she died. I will say that all 4 children were educated and are leading productive lives. Thank you to the kindness and humanity of that couple that were our landlords ❤️. You made such a difference in my Mother’s, and her 4 children’s lives.

Actually, both generations got it wrong. We rolled with biodegradable papers. No plastic required.

Have you been to Europe? They have “walking” cities. You really don’t need a car to get around. My kids backpacked through Europe. The furthest they had to travel from a hostel was outside Amsterdam. 8 km on bicycles! My son just came back from Japan (I know, not Europe). He talked a lot about the “Shinkansen”. A high speed train that travels 280 km/h. They were able to travel all over Japan “without” a car.

With innocent people being illegally abducted and wrongfully deported to El Salvador, I am astounded that there is so much concern about the Nintendo Switch 2. Seriously people!! Where are the priorities? WTF?!

Punctuation is correct here, though. That helps a lot.

True. Good point.

Completely agree. I cringe on a regular basis. I never know if it’s “stylistic”, typos, laziness? Sentence structure has also gone for shit.

His bluff didn’t work this time. He wants to play another hand. His shifty eyes are betraying his poker face. He’ll win the next hand! Who cares anyway, he’s not playing with his money.

- Comment on YSK that in the US, denaturalization, the process of revoking a person's citizenship, does not require proof "Beyond reasonable doubt" 2 months ago:
Canada has been your best neighbour and ally for decades. We have backed you in wars, even when they were BS wars. Now YOU have attacked us with tariffs. YOU started this.

You need to read history. Read about the French and Russian revolutions. People DID do something! They stormed the government. They didn’t wait for “someone” to save them. They didn’t wait for other countries to “save them”.

- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 2 months ago:
As a new biography Dutch Girl: Audrey Hepburn and World War II, excerpted exclusively in this week’s PEOPLE, reveals, it was her experiences during Germany’s five-year occupation of Holland during World War II that truly shaped her.
While more has come out in recent years about her war experience, Robert Matzen’s book reveals harrowing new details about how a young Hepburn battled severe malnutrition, particularly during what was known as the “Hunger Winter” of 1944-45.
Leading up to that brutally cold winter, as Germany tightened its grip on Holland, Hepburn and her family were often forced to live in the cellar for days and weeks at a time due to bombing overhead. And food became more and more scarce.

Well, with the way things are going, it won’t be read in the U.S.A. It’ll be banned.
