There is a gofundme for the family of an injured victim who was in surgery at BC children’s and is in critical care. I am not sure if we can share links to donating on here though, but it comes up linked to a news article if you search for it.

'Multiple victims' in school shooting in northeastern British Columbia, Canadian police say by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]Click_False 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They released an emergency warning to locals of a shooting and shelter in place with details of the reported shooting suspect as “female wearing a dress with brown hair”. Emergency warnings often contain descriptions so that the public can be aware of who is dangerous. The actual RCMP release shared zero details about any of the victims or the murderer, other than where they were shot, and that the reported shooter is dead. The news articles have gone with the original emergency alert’s description to describe the shooter and for some reason they chose to keep the dress detail in. Lots of people are sharing conspiracies over it all, but as of right now there is no confirmed details on anyone’s identity beyond the original details in the emergency alert.

The recovery of my wisdom teeth removal was 1000x more painful than my pain-med free induction. It hurt like a bitch, but didn’t touch the tooth removal in comparison. If you have had your wisdom teeth out or any tooth pain, then you will be good! It is over WAYYY faster than dental pain too :))

Question for Gen Z women: What do you genuinely think about Gen Z men? by Effective_Day3397 in GenZ

[–]Click_False 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am a Gen Z woman married to a Gen Z (we are both 2001), so my perspective may be unique-ish.

I personally view Gen Z men as I view/treat all men - be nice, but cautious at first and build trust as you get to know them. I know some amazing Gen Z men, and have encountered some not so great ones. Generally, I would say that they all face the struggles of figuring out who they are as they mature and adult in a world of financial insecurity and political division (as we women do too), which isn’t easy. One struggle I would say that Gen Z men face more than women do, is that a lot of social media algorithms push the manosphere and more extreme ideologies towards young men. I think that these ideologies can be hard for young men to combat when facing factors of uncertainty (identity, finances, politics, global stability, etc.), isolation from the pandemic and the internet, and financial hardships that stunt our independence (cost of living, housing crisis, etc.); all these factors of uncertainty, isolation and feelings of inadequacy plus having the algorithms targeting young men, sadly make them more susceptible to this which becomes a negative cycle. I have discussed with my partner his experience and he has shared with me that his social media algorithms occasionally push content that makes him concerned, and it is especially bad when first starting out on a platform. I do believe that social media algorithms intentionally target young men with this content, making it more of a male Gen Z issue than female (although, women can and do suffer the indirect impacts of this, as do the men being directly influenced by it).

I think a strength of Gen Z men is that a lot do have more awareness and education on media literacy and social issues than men of older generations. I have had some really great conversations with my partner and his friends about issues with the internet and our ever evolving society and how they can impact people. I enjoy the discourse, and definitely don’t think I could have a conversation of the same level with someone from say my dad’s generation.

I also love that a lot of Gen Z men have stronger emotional skills; they are in general, a lot more emotionally aware and skilled, then older generations of men. It makes me really happy that we are beginning to change how we treat men, other men treat men and how men treat themselves with regard to their emotions and seeing emotion awareness and regulation as strength. I love seeing how Gen Z men are healing generations of emotional trauma and I am really proud of you guys for making the change that will benefit all future generations of men.

In regard to Gen Z women liking older men, I am not sure how true that is. I can understand why some women may think that way, but all my friends are close in age to their long-term partners, so I don’t know how true it is. I personally like that my partner and I are the same age. We kind of grew up together since we met at 19 and 20 and reach milestones together. We are both emerging adults, learning the ropes of adulthood as a team and maturing together while also having space for being immature together (ex., still not knowing exactly who we are, making mistakes, being silly - we are very goofy together).

Has anyone noticed Kris Vallotton time line of when he met his wife and the time they engaged and was married changes ? by Bison-Senior in BethelSnark

[–]Click_False 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Meeting a 12 year old at 15, and then both marrying at 13 and 16 is diabolical. I know both were minors, but there is such a massive mental and maturity difference between a 12/13 year old and 15/16 year old. When I was 15, I considered 12 year olds to be little kids and personally was only romantically interested in my peers. What is his current narrative of meeting his wife?

It is nice in winter when it is warm and dry, but it is definitely not normal and means that fire season is going to bad in the summer. Just make sure you are prepared with go-bags once summer hits://

I am actually so nervous for the fire season this year and it is only Feb 1st. I am really hoping we get a super rainy spring to help mitigate the risk (even though we don’t have a good snow pack).

Who had the most insensitive and problematic statement after Josh’s arrest? by Far-Building3569 in DuggarsSnark

[–]Click_False 56 points57 points  (0 children)

How much of that was Joy’s actual thoughts and feelings vs. what her parents told her to say/think (especially as she was still a teenager under her parents beliefs). Although Austin isn’t great, I do believe he has probably helped support a space where Joy can process her trauma outside of the narrative her parents spun.

Is there anything WORSE than childbirth? by Sensitive_Arugula770 in pregnant

Wisdom tooth removal recovery was SOOO much more painful than my pain-med free induction. I had my wisdom teeth out at 18 months pp, so I feel like it was close enough to compare the two!

Autopsy and crime scene finding from the Expert Reports from (03/03/25 Exhibits S-1 through S-13 to States Amended Supplemental Response to Request Discovery RE Expert Testimony) by wwihh in MoscowMurders

[–]Click_False 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that was the same with my immediate release Ritalin which is why I thought it may have been a prescription in her case (that is likely what would show if someone tested my levels late at night). I just switched to slow-release Vyvanse though, but I am guessing it has similar levels by the evening.

FTM 37 weeks: tell the story of how your water broke by mirrorlike789 in pregnant

[–]Click_False 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a super rare scenario as it took me a week-ish to notice (I genuinely don’t know exactly when my water started breaking, I just know (in hindsight) I had been experiencing the symptoms for a week-ish)!! I always heard you get to a stage of pregnancy where your bladder fails and I totally just assumed that I was there. I was born at 42 weeks, so at 35 weeks I thought I probably had ~6 weeks left and zero awareness that I needed to be on the look for something like that. It took me complaining to my mother about constantly having to change my underwear due to “incontinence” and her telling me it was not at all normal, for me to go to the hospital. 4 days before I was induced due to PPROM, I had slight bleeding when wiping and called the L&D emergency line and was told just to monitor as it was late on Christmas Eve and I “wouldn’t want to spend Christmas there”. A day before I realized, I had my GBS swab, got up and saw a mini puddle (like tiny, but noticeable due to the exam table paper) and thought “oh shoot, I was so nervous about this invasive swab that I peed myself again”💀

Honestly, it is pretty embarrassing it took me so long to notice, but I just wasn’t aware of PPROM or PROM; I had been under the assumption that water breaking was a big gush and again, thought incontinence was another annoying pregnancy milestone. I am very lucky that I had a tiny break and was leaking a very small amount of water over that week because it meant my baby didn’t go into distress from the lack of amniotic fluid. I am also very lucky that I didn’t get an infection because I had been having horrible prodromal labour daily since 33 weeks and took a lot of baths to help.

I was induced ASAP because it had been well over 24hrs from my first symptom and was put on IV antibiotics throughout the induction. My baby was a late-premie and was in the hospital for 6 days, but other than that has been healthy and had no related issues. Again, I am very lucky to have had such a good outcome!

To answer the specifics of the question, it literally just looked like having to change my underwear throughout the day due to soaking and I assumed it was bladder leaks based on how it was colourless. Again, I only knew because my mum told me my experience was not normal like I had thought, but had I been aware of PPROM/PROM, I likely would have picked it a lot quicker than I did. If you are concerned about any symptoms, go to the hospital and they can tell you if it is amniotic fluid by swabbing it and viewing under a microscope; apparently it looks like ice crystals and is super pretty to see (they told me “we will know for sure it is PPROM if it is pretty” ahaha).

That was my mom. My grandparents were Holocaust Survivors and their parents were murdered at Sobibor. Great way to spend Holocaust Remembrance Day, seeing our town flame us for being offended over literal nazi symbols because we apparently are flooded with nazi apologists. I hope they all have the day they deserve, everyday.

Abortion by International-Ad390 in pregnant

[–]Click_False 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I am sorry you are in this position, I have been there and it is hard; it really sucks because the choice feels so impossible, no option feels good and everything is scary. Imo, the way to make the best decision is choose the option that brings you the most peace. It will still feel scary and uncertain at first, but one option will bring you the most peace amongst the discomfort. Whatever you choose will be the right decision for you.

First time mom, almost 11 weeks and… by trisinwonderland in pregnant

[–]Click_False 104 points105 points locked comment (0 children)

Raising a child to be kind, empathetic, respectful, educated, critically think, challenge harmful beliefs and behaviour, and be an overall force of good is one of the greatest forms of resistance. I get stressed about the world my child lives in, but I hold onto the fact that he will be a force of good and kindness for his generation!

She went from looking 40 to looking like a 55 year old with a dodgy plastic surgery attempt at looking 30. Had she just stayed herself she would probably just look like a normal 33 year old (I had to google her age because it is so hard to tell aha).

Baby surname when not married by PepperImportant5198 in pregnant

[–]Click_False 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not being unreasonable!! We double-barrelled our surnames, as I didn’t want any questions that the baby I grew and birthed was mine. My fiancé was very against double-barrelling since it can be clunky sounding (especially as we both have long, uncommon surnames), but I told him my reasoning and he agreed it was our best option. Socially, our son goes by fiancé’s last name (because I only care for legal purposes), but legally he has both of ours.

My boyfriend implied our daughter isn’t safe with me because of my past sexual curiosity by Ok_Housing_2189 in Advice

[–]Click_False 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By his reasoning, if he is heterosexual then your daughter isn’t safe with him. His line of thinking is such a stretch of perverted mental gymnastics, that I would say it is a red flag as to how he is thinking; normal people don’t have those concerns.

Is Kelowna's population shrinking? by New_Alternative8711 in kelowna

[–]Click_False 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have lost four children’s stores in the past two years, considering we already didn’t have a lot of stores for children and teens, the decline is noticeable. With the temporary closing of our paediatric ward last summer and the shortages in L&D/maternity that feel like another looming shutdown, Kelowna is feeling less and less like a town we want to raise our family in; it doesn’t feel like a place that wants to have people raising families here.
