- Comment on When “Ordinary People” on TikTok Turn Out to Be Professional Actors 2 weeks ago:
I tell my kids that nobody is their authentic self on camera. Everyone is acting to some degree. They watch YouTube sometimes and we’ll talk about what the purpose of the video was. Was this person trying to sell you something? Teach you something? Make you believe something? Right now we only have YouTube accessible on the living room TV so that I always know what they’re watching, but I won’t be able to control that forever so I am making sure they learn to think critically about what they’re watching. I started when they were toddlers by making a big show of not liking ads.
- Comment on YSK that hand sewing is a stupid cheap hobby to get into and reduces your impact on the environment 4 weeks ago:
I was taught how to hand sew in school for an art project and it has been so useful. As a teenager I was intentionally getting damaged clothes at the thrift store for extra cheap and sewing them back up myself.
- Comment on YSK: US Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem publically bragged about killing her puppy 1 month ago:
I choose to believe that they’re completely uninformed and uneducated because that’s better than the alternative.
- Comment on Popup Ads in Your Pickup Truck? RAM Trucks Now Feature Scammy Ads on the Center Display 1 month ago:
On the one hand, lol. I hate massive pickup trucks so much and anything annoying the people who buy them brings me joy. On the other hand, this isn’t going to stop there…
- Comment on Even households earning $150,000 a year are struggling with credit card and car payments 2 months ago:
I really don’t understand how you can earn $150,000 a year and can’t make ends meet without making some really irresponsible decisions, though. My family of four is living off $40,000 (CAD) and all our bills are paid.
- Comment on “Donated” plasma today 2 months ago:
It’s wild this is a paid thing in the US. As far as I know, in Canada, you can only donate for free. Blood, plasma, sperm, doesn’t matter. Can’t be paid for surrogacy either.

- Comment on Trump Agriculture Chief Mocked for Suggesting Medicaid Recipients Could Replace Deported Farm Workers 2 months ago:
FARMING IS SKILLED LABOUR. YOU CANNOT JUST REPLACE THOSE DEPORTED FARM WORKERS WITH JUST RANDOM PEOPLE.
- Comment on Moms in the U.S. report large decline in mental health in recent years, study finds 4 months ago:
I’m Canadian, so not American, but for me it’s because I don’t have the same grandparent support my parents had. We had to move far away to be able to afford a place to live and now we have no help. My siblings and I practically lived at our grandparents’ houses, and so did all of our cousins. I hear a lot about how uninvolved grandparents are lately, whether by choice or by practicality (the distance, for us).

- Comment on Bronx bodegas are selling "loosie" eggs because of soaring prices 7 months ago:
We still have plenty of eggs in Canada. Is this why Trump is threatening us

I don’t really agree, but it will piss off “alpha” guys if this catches on sooooo
