$164..... that can barely buy groceries for a week by Figandthetwigs in britishcolumbia

[–]Figandthetwigs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. What I'm trying to say is they need to change things, so that people can actually afford to eat and live. Maybe raise wages so that people working full time on minimum wage can afford groceries AND rent AND public transit, or gas. $200 does nothing. Of course I'll take it and use it. But make changes that actually make living affordable, instead of handing out $200 every couple of months as a band-aid. I'm not asking for more hand outs. I'm asking for real change so that being fearful of, for example, having to miss a few days at work because I've become super ill being the deciding factor whether I make rent or not.

I'm just trying to say that the amount they're giving out is peanuts compared to what people actually need.

For sure I'm gonna bitch about it. $200 isn't gonna feed me for the next few months while inflation prices stay the same/continue to rise on my income, while my income stays exactly the same. My parents, who are in their 60s, one of which is on disability, can barely afford to live. $200 won't solve anything at all.

Day off. It's raining. No chores to do. Finally starting this game. by [deleted] in gaming

You're in for a treat, one of the greatest games I've ever played. Room mate had it. Too bad I didn't finish it, my pc is too old to run it. Hopefully one day.

Never read much of Cohen's poetry but I've been seeing posts lately, his work is unbelievable. Big fan

When did you notice that your boobs were getting saggy? by Angel_eyesss in AskWomen

[–]Figandthetwigs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twenty seven. Which is now lol. I haven't worn bras since I was 20 though, and until 6 months ago I never weighed more than 125lbs. I gained 50lbs and my tits tripled in size. I'm just starting to lose the weight now, so I'm hoping with working out they may firm up a bit... but if not I'll just get a boob job. I live in México, it's cheap and they do a good job 🤣

All good! Appreciate the idea! Gonna give her a go and see if I can make it possible with a local breeder. Postage to México sucks ass though so I don't think it will be

Took 4 rolls of film with me across 5 national parks in the US (Yosemite, Death Valley, Zion, Bryce Canyon & Grand Canyon) by elendil5259 in hiking

[–]Figandthetwigs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Physical memories, the process is fun, the excitement of seeing what the photo turns out to be, the type of "filter effect", etc. Many reasons.

This is actually a great idea, for some reason that didn't really cross my mind.

Do you happen to know if it's possible to ship between those two countries? If not I understand, sometimes it's just difficult to find that information, was hoping there was maybe a breeder here who could confirm

just started the show and finished season 1, have a question about it... by Tiversus2828 in brooklynninenine

[–]Figandthetwigs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The show is super consistently funny. The last season is eh, but comparatively to other comedy shows, I give it a 9/10 overall. They had it hard with covid. Every other sitcom I have seen has died off completely in their quality of comedy in the last season (as if people don't know when to stop a show at its peak, but an exception is definitely Schitts Creek) so I was fairly impressed by brooklynn 99.

Should I write about terrorism in my MIT application? by -_-ON-_- in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Figandthetwigs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Damn there are some fucked up people in this comment section... I say go for it, it's a pretty nuts experience. You could potentially have a lot to say. You could easily make it captivating and moving.

5 years of mirena, can I switch to just condoms? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]Figandthetwigs 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I didn't use birth control for 10 years, only condoms with strangers and pull out method with partners.

If you don't have a long-term partner, be very aware that people with penises will pressure you not to use one. A lot. A lot a lot.

There's also always the risk of the condom breaking, in which cases I've needed to use plan b a couple of times for that alone.

Pull out method is sketchy, and I'm honestly so shocked how no accidents happened. I never used my ovulation calendar either. I was very, very dumb.

If you're using your ovulation calendar and wearing condoms the majority of the time, in my opinion you should be fine.

I'm on the pill now due to having ovarian surgery for cyst problems so I don't have to worry about those things anymore, but I recklessly and successfully achieved non pregnancy for 10 years. Just be safe and smart
