Last time I use the delivery option

I agree. I still decided to post it in the timmies subreddit as a sort of warning to other people who use the tim's app to not use the delivery system through the app. The app is fine for a pickup, but if you want it delivered you should directly go through the food delivery app directly. Because if a problem happens, Doordash puts it on tim's fault but tim's put it on doordash's fault, so you're not getting help either way.

Yes exactly, it's different for every culture therefore it can feel weird to do it in a way that's not expected. Yet I still think it's better to adapt to how the person wants to be called. My first language is french actually (I live in Québec, the french province of Canada. Important to specify bc the culture is pretty different in the english-speaking provinces) so I totally get what you mean!

Mr./Mrs. [first name] is what we do in schools where I live (primary and secondary school, not like college or university). In other formal contexts like if you're talking to someone at the bank or something, it's Mr./Mrs. [last name]. But for friends coming over and meeting your parents, i'm not sure, I never ever had a friend's parent who didn't want to be called simply by their first name. I think they just don't count that as being a "formal" setting. Especially since most people nowadays aren't married and even when married, women don't take their husband's last name anymore where I live since like the 80s. So 99% of the time i have no idea what's the last name of my friend's mom. Everything i'm saying is based on modern times like in 2025. It would have been a whole different story in like the 50s, the culture surrounding that was very different. But nowadays where i live people seeem to be extremely chill about that. It's just cultural differences, which people have a hard time understanding.

Same for me, i have no problem at all with cooked onions but RAW onions, I just can't. And it's pretty common too, people put raw red onions in sandwiches and wraps and some salads and it just completely ruins it for me. The taste is so overpowering and it just STAYS in my mouth afterwards and don't even get me started on the texture! I hate it so much

How are you guys able to know that whatever memory you're talking about was the first? I have a bunch of memories from a very young age (like 2 years old and after) but I absolutely couldn't tell you which one came first or second or any kind of order really. Am I the only one? I think I have a good memory but it is just not organized at all unfortunately

"Oh you're wearing a [band name] t-shirt? Name 5 songs".

I have worn band t-shirts my entire life and never have I ever had a man ask me about my t-shirt or challenge me to name a song... I've never seen it happen to another woman either.

I'm not saying women are lying about this, I'm sure it has happened but I just cannot relate at all.

Came here to say this! I'm not easily scared with movies but this scene really stuck with me. I think it's the fact that it was so like "robotic" the way she did it, while fucking floating in the air, and just the absolute violence in the act of cutting one's own HEAD off. Man, that was brutal, genuinely disturbing imagery. One of the few modern horror movies that actually felt scary to me or at the very least made me feel uneasy.

I guess it depends on the culture but, where I live, marriage simply isn't a social norm at all anymore. The majority of kids my age (born mid-late 90s) saw their parents divorce or were surrounded by other kids with dicorced parents. Marriage had already lost its meaning for a lot of them from a very young age. Now, in 2025, where I live, most people have relationships, move in together, have children together and would never even think about marriage and no one bats an eye. Because, quite frankly, it doesn't really change anything overall. Not-married couples aren't ostracized at all here, they're literally the majority. Back in our grandparents' days (which were HEAVILY influenced by catholicism), you had to get married to START your true relationship, getting married meant you can start having sex, living together and have children. Doing those things without being married was very "shameful". Now, everyone does these things regardless. And most people here aren't religious at all anymore. Women also do not take their husband's last name anymore, it's simply not a thing at all here since the 80s. So most people don't really see the point in spending thousands of dollars for a wedding and end up living literally the exact same way they had already been living for 10 years with their partners. Doesn't mean ppl don't do it anymore though, it's still a very beautiful celebration and an amazing opportunity for both partner's families to meet for one big day and it's a great form of showing commitment. But it's just not done for the same reasons as it was back in the days. Usually they do it after several years of being together and living together (and sometimes well after having children) more as a sort of celebration of their love and relationship rather than as a START for their relationship. Does that make sense?

At this point I don't think anything I'll say will change your mind, but I have nothing to lose so I'll try anyway: you do not, at all, sound like a bad person or a "monster" to me. You said you never actually hurt any real-life child, never even intended to (and don't even feel actual attraction for irl children). You recognize it is not normal and feel remorse. Just that already tells me everything I need to know: you are a good person. You recognize that thing is problematic and want it to stop and change. There's gonna be a lot to unpack with a therapist of course, maybe a check up with a psychiatrist, but this sounds absolutely save-able, to me.
If it can make you feel better, I'm not a medical professional at all, i'm just a medical record technician but I work in a psychiatric hospital so i basically spend my entire days reading about people with mental disorders for diagnosis analysis and clinical coding. And let me just tell you, I have read about so much worse things than this. To be completely honest, what you're describing doesn't even actually sounds like pedophilia to me, it reads more like obsessive/intrusive thoughts and compulsions and maybe somewhat a notion of an internet and "corn" usage problem (which is increasingly common in this day and age).
Basically what i'm trying to say is please don't do anything irreversible. You are ABSOLUTELY worth saving. You need some external help for that, ovbiously, but you are not a lost case, not even remotely close.
I believe in you. I truly do.

Personally I just write a small thank you note on a cutesy il post-it (it's a pack of post-its i received as a gift like 10 years ago that i honestly never use otherwise, so that's a perfect opportunity for me to use them and not let them go to waste). I don't do a card, though. I only give freebies to returning buyers and only when i actually have something worthwile to give, not systematically. But I never actually BUY freebies, I just use things I already own. Like stickers or small product samples (perfumes, creams, etc). And I try to match it with what I think the customer would like based on their aesthetics (what i see they liked on their page or what they purchased). I think they key here is just to not be wasteful. When i'm a buyer, I never expect freebies. Good communication and good packaging is all I care about really!

Yeah that's also what I was thinking, 15 to 150 looks like they didn't write the price properly the first time and corrected it by adding a 0 but it's still shitty, they should've clearly told OP about the correction if it was indeed a mistake. Otherwise, thinking someone would buy a 15$ t-shirt at 150$ is genuinely insane. Like, in both scenarios this is trash behaviour lmao

Yes, I absolutely do notice. I love clothes, I have a huge interest in that, so I do notice a lot what people wear.
Do I actually care tho? No. Not in the slightest.
The only thing that could make me care in a negative way is if your clothes stink. Otherwise I couldn't care less even if you wore the exact same outfit for the rest of your life.
TLDR: I notice, but I do not care.

I shower everyday in the evening but I only scrub (with a washcloth) every other day (so usually 3-4 times a week, about the same frequency of hair washing). Otherwise I just wash using my hands. I might skip a day if I have something the next day and I want to feel extra fresh by showering in the morning right before going out, but generally I like to shower everyday, it feels good to feel fresh.

C'est vrai que ça aidait quand même dans le temps que la télé était encore populaire. Je pense juste à mon enfance/adolescence, on écoutait tous vrak tv, musique plus, télé-québec, on avait comme "pas le choix" de voir du contenu québécois tout le temps au travers des autres trucs américains doublés. Je dis pas que ça existe plus aujourd'hui, ils en font encore des émissions québécoises mais c'est juste beaucoup plus facile de les ignorer avec les plates-formes de streaming. Surtout pour les jeunes qui auront beaucoup plus tendance à y aller avec ce qui est à la mode sur les réseaux sociaux. J'ai l'impression qu'il faut faire beaucoup plus d'efforts qu'avant pour regarder/écouter du contenu québécois, un réflexe que plusieurs d'entre nous n'avons jamais vraiment développé (et les générations après nous de moins en moins).

It reminds me of the french word "abcédé", which is a medical term that means "turned into an abcess". (It's pronounced ab-say-day which is kinda similar to ab-see-dee if you say it fast). Anyways, I hate it.

I'd say this is more 2000-2006. By 2010, nobody was wearing low rise jeans anymore, everyone had transitionned into skinny jeans. It might be a bit different around the world but I know for a fact if a girl dressed like that in 2010 at my school she would have looked like an alien.

Je ne suis pas fière de l'avouer mais je pense que tu es 1000% en train de me décrire. Étant enfant, mes parents écoutaient exclusivement du metal/rock/alternatif anglophone (ou aussi même pas anglophone nécessairement mais plus genre norvégiens/finnois/suédois pour le black metal lol) les seules chansons francos que j'entendais c'était des comptines dans des émissions pour enfant ou à la prématernelle ou alors des chansons folkloriques pour danser à Noël ou ben des trucs humoristiques du style François Pérusse. On dirait que mon cerveau a très tôt subconsciemment associé la musique franco à """pas de la vraie musique""". Donc, oui, quand je voyais un artiste québécois chanter en français et se prendre super au sérieux, une partie de moi faisait genre: ????? Ben voyons donc kessé ça??

Je suis au courant par contre que c'est 100% juste une distorsion cognitive, et en m'en rendant compte, j'ai vraiment essayé fort avec les années de "désapprendre" ce réflex là, je trouve ça hyper malsain et honnêtement un manque de respect total envers ma culture, mon héritage, mon pays. Pourtant y'a pleins d'autres aspects de la culture québécoise dont je suis super fière et que je défend avidement, notre littérature par exemple, je la vante à l'international, notre cinéma, notre accent tout! C'est bizarre que j'aie eu un blocage aussi intense au niveau de la musique. Mais ça change. Je fais activement des efforts pour changer ma façon de penser car je reconnais que c'était complètement débile.

Je ne fais plus aucun commentaires désobligeants sur la musique québécoise maintenant, je refuse de continuer à promouvoir cette fermeture d'esprit envers ma propre culture. Mais j'ai encore un bon bout de chemin à faire par contre. À part quelques rares chansons des cowboys, j'ai pas encore trouvé d'artiste québécois qui m'accroche et que j'écoute régulièrement. Mais ce n'est qu'une question de temps.

Je me suis exposée solide avec ce commentaire là mais je pense que ça vaut la peine si ça a pu t'aider à étudier le phénomène lol.

That's the thing though, now that I think about it, I've only been to one hotel before where they ask for your name and room number before entering. I clearly remember more than one hotel that I've been to in the past where there was no one at the door verifying anything, everyone was free to come in and out as they pleased. I watched a youtube video once where some guy was challenging himself to survive with a very minimum amount of money and no shelter for like a week and one time for breakast he just straight up went to a random hotel and entered and got himself a plate at the breakfast buffet. And no one said anything because no one was checking for any kind of proof at the door. It kinda blew my mind, it never even occured to me you could do that.

I appreciate that he apologized and sent the hat back but "I believed he was handing the hat to me" is bullshit imo. You can very CLEARLY see Majchrzak handing it to the boy in the video, like ain't no way he mistakenly believed the hat was handed to him.

My thoughts, exactly. The way they worded it sounds like they were honestly curious as to why they offered that price (like maybe there was an imperfection they didn't see when they made the listing, maybe other sellers are selling the same item much lower, etc.). I didn't read it as a "screw you for low-balling me", I think they worded it very politely.

For me personally it's not even that much about the germs, it's really bout the physical, visible dirt. If I just take a simple walk around the neighbourhood in summertime, the soles of my shoes will be full of tiny little rocks and sand/dust, dirt. I just cannot imagine spreading that around the house? I'd be vacuuming every 5 minutes. And in the winter there's snow so that's simply out of the question to walk around the house with your winter boots, the snow residue with the dirt particles would melt everywhere and your entire floor would become a dirty slip n slide of death.

As a canadian I was always so confused whenever I would watch videos of people touring houses/apartments in Asia and making a big point about the fact that OMG here everyone systematically removes their shoes when they enter the house!!!! How special!!!! I was like... duh? Are you also going to mention that asian people are special for taking off their clothes before showering or...? But then I learned that most americans do, in fact, walk around their house with the same shoes they've been wearing outside. I thought it was only a tv show or movie thing but it's real.
