Honestly we just had an election where I live where the options were (not to this extreme at all) but pretty similar in the "not great" vs "fucking awful" choices. Of course we had an actual third party with good policies but they had no chance. The race was so close here that in some areas the difference in votes was in the hundreds for the top two choices. They're still doing recounts and I guess we'll see, but every single fucking vote has counted on this.

I honestly don't believe that not voting is ever going to work. If we want change we need an actual fucking revolution. Not voting, in American's case, would just allow for the literal militants to take over and then you really won't even have the choice to protest anything in the future.

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.

I actually think I get paid a decent wage at ~$35/hr (CAD) but the cost of living is just so goddamn high where I live that it's not quite enough to get me by comfortably. So really, if I were doing this job elsewhere then that's fine, my job's really not that hard. but realistically, because of the state of my province, I'd give them my 100% for 45. They seem pretty happy with the 75% I'm putting in now though (some days less).

Longer than 3-5 days I think

We just say "you know..." and then the other person will either say "yep/same" or "no I don't know" depending on the mood. And if the cat makes noise we'll also just say "I know buddy me too"

BLTs also have mayo, and preferably a hell of a lot of it. They are garbage without it.

I learned last year that you're supposed to floss BEFORE you brush. I have no idea why no one ever taught me that.

I'm not gonna click on that link because there's no way this is true. You can't fool me.

I'm still reeling over cemetery not being spelled cementary and it's been 20 years.

I LOVE the floor tbh but yeah maybe just like purple highlights on the cabinets instead of the entire thing. It's giving me circa 2005 decorating my sims 2 home.

I'm just as angry as the next guy but I'm not gonna shame my boomer mom for not being able to figure out pirating or how to stream things to her tv. Could barely get her to figure out her tv man.
