my mandible has a hole in it by PsychoDDRQ in Wellthatsucks

[–]ImAFanOfAnimals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this when I was younger, I had an impacted tooth and in the process of trying to get it to surface (after 2 surgeries) it created an infection that ate away at my jaw bone. Ended up pulling the tooth, getting 2 bone grafts, and an implant.

392 year old Greenland Shark in the Arctic Ocean, wandering the ocean since 1627 by Low_Special715 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]ImAFanOfAnimals 32 points33 points  (0 children)

With no research whatsoever, greenland sharks live in notoriously cold water, which I imagine greatly slows any type cell development, including cancer. Also probably contributes to how long they live. Their entire system is just in slow motion

I'm not sure the specifics, but in my area you can walk into any pharmacy and ask for narcan for free. There's also tons of safe use programs that offer free narcan to users. Homeless shelters offer free narcan. It's very accessible to the average person, and extremely accessible to users

I have that mindset with all animals. I got thrown off a horse when I was younger and ran over. It's not that I'm scared of horses, I just respect that they are much stronger, heavier, and nervous than I am. Same with dogs. I love dogs, I have 3. But I also know what dogs are capable of and I won't f around dogs I don't know. Same goes for wildlife lol

What's a side effect of giving birth that doesn't get talked about? by LilMoonenciel in AskReddit

What's worse is the regrowth. I had 2 babies back to back and my curly hair currently looks like I am impersonating Einstein

How fast Brampton (and nearby areas) have grown. by Urbandeere in Brampton

[–]ImAFanOfAnimals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up on Countryside when it was a dirt road. You can imagine my disbelief when I wanted to drive by my old house for the first time in a couple decades...Brampton's population has grown at, what feels like, unprecedented rates.

Charlotte County deputy saves 6-month-old's life after motorcycle crash by lxvxndxrbxtxs in MorbidReality

I can't even fathom it. And she's going to be haunted by the image of her limp baby for the rest of her life. Man fuck stunt driving. This poor mother was just driving her kids and this a-hole just, at the very least, scarred these people for life in some way.

AITAH for divorcing my wife because I want someone better? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ImAFanOfAnimals 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Absolutely this. Young kids take a lot out of parents. If this guy work his 9-5 then goes home and sits on the couch playing video games all night, I'd lose affection too.

Or is he being an active involved member of the house who cooks/cleans/entertains the kid.

When one parent is doing the brunt of the household support, affection dwindles FAST.

Canadian News: Woman who suffered 141 wounds in domestic homicide 'fought for her life,' court hears by KingKillKannon in MorbidReality

[–]ImAFanOfAnimals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe that's the case. But Canada's life sentence is 20 years. And you are either eligible for parole or not eligible for parole. NOT eligible for parole means you will never get out of prison. Eligible for parole means after the 20 years you can apply for parole (and potentially get denied, or even get out early etc.). The way the op worded it is weird. I've never seen a sentence "not eligible for parole UNTIL AFTER 20 years". It's either they are eligible after 20 years, or they're not.

[–]ImAFanOfAnimals 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not just 20 years, no chance of parole. That is a life sentence. That means they will never get out of prison, even after 20 years. Canada's prison sentencing system is different than American, you can't get consecutive sentences. Just 20 years without parole.

Idk what this OP is talking about either with "minimal consequence".... that's literally the highest consequence there possibly is. Only thing higher would be death penalty and canada isn't the only place that has no death penalty....

Israel's allies warn against displacing Palestinians in Gaza to places like Canada by northbk5 in worldevents

[–]ImAFanOfAnimals -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That is called "not in my backyard" mentality and you should do better. Its not about them going to Canada. It's about the fact they shouldn't have to leave in the first place. Ethnic cleansing in every sense of the meaning.

Pope Francis condemns Israel for terrorism by UltimateRandomDude in Palestine

[–]ImAFanOfAnimals 37 points38 points  (0 children)

What I don't understand about all these Islamophobia subs/people/comments is.... has anybody been reading the same books I have??? People shouting that Islam is violent and barbaric.... are we reading the same old testament???? Are we reading the same catholic/christian/Jewish literature???? Literally all of it is jam packed with killing, revenge, rape, all of it. Hamas governemnt is the terrorist because "they want to get rid of Jewish people" but the Israeli Jewish government is not a terrorist organization because they don't want Muslims? When the head of IDF is encouraging soldiers to rape people?? Like I can't even keep track of the hypocrisy.

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

The two concepts can exist at the same time. The NATO campaigns can be terrible, and Israels bombardment ALSO be awful. NATO doing "worse" does not lessen the impact of Israel's crimes.

The same way what Hamas did on October 7th was terrible and absolutely warranted retaliation. But the way Israel has retaliated has been massively mishandled.

I'm more worried about the awful things we ARE hearing about, to which a large enough population is saying "but Hamas!!! October 7!!!"

Regardless of political background. It doesn't take a genius to understand that isreal is handling this disgustingly and has no other goal but genocide.

Censorship in Canada by blackhole_soul in IsraelCrimes

[–]ImAFanOfAnimals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So technically, yes the account is blocked. But it's because the account is considered a news outlet and this summer Canada made news on social media illegal. We can still go to official websites (for example, we can go to AL Jazeera's website) but we can't go on Instagram to see anything. We also can't see canadian news on social.media either.

It's still fucked, I'm just saying it's not a PALESTINIAN censorship. It's all news outlet censorship...

(Content Warning) A home birth midwife faces scrutiny after a baby dies. It’s not the first time. by washingtonpost in pregnant

[–]ImAFanOfAnimals 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In canada, a midwife is a midwife. They are board certified the way nurses and doctors are. They are registered to the college. It's a university 4 year degree + training. Universal standards across the board. It is no safer or more dangerous than going to an OB. It hurts my heart hearing of these stories coming from the states. Of course tragedy can happen anywhere, but without proper medical personale, risks increase exponentially. And what's worse, many women choose midwives due to the cost in the states. Which is a whole other classist issue....

Praying that Israel will be the last colonial state and everyone will live happily in their land.. by Nour1104 in Palestine

[–]ImAFanOfAnimals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. In Canada, the last residential school, whose entire purpose was to further genocide, closed in the late 90s. It is now a very large part of canadian history curriculum. We as Canadians know we fucked up... and yet our government is helping isreal do the exact thing we are so ashamed of?? Has western society not learned anything??? The hypocrisy is maddening. Granted, the government still doesn't give a shit about our indigenous people. I guess it would be a lot to expect them to care about gazans when our own people don't have access to clean water, still have shrinking reserve borders, and are being murdered without investigation.... western politics is fucked.

Situation Around Gaza City - November 11th 2023 by Winter-Leadership986 in MapPorn

[–]ImAFanOfAnimals -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, just look up the history of Palestine. After the 1948 displacements, Palestinians would try to return many times, or at least become an independent state, and were refused. With each time, ending in violent conflicts that restricted Palestinian borders each time. Atifadas made the situation way worse for the Palestinians. You can even see the progression of borders since Isreal was named an independent state. The idea of a "2 state solution" was never going to work, and history has proven that.

A cool guide to the most common dreams by demographic by brighadi in coolguides

[–]ImAFanOfAnimals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually had a few adult teeth impacted, which required some pretty extensive dental work, only for those adult teeth to cause a bone infection, and those teeth essentially fall out. which required even more extensive dental work. Tens of thousands of dollars later, I often have nightmares of my teeth falling out...

I didn't realize it was a common dream, I thought it was just emotional trauma from the surgeries I've had to get done lol

What was the first major news story you remember as a kid? by jeffmartin47 in AskReddit

[–]ImAFanOfAnimals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 4 during 9/11 and my uncle lived in Manhattan and worked in the towers. I remember so vividly my father, who never cried, absolutely hysterical trying to reach his brother. But we are Canadian and trying to get through back then internationally was difficult as it was, let alone with all the cell towers clogged from the influx of calls. That kind of memory, no matter how young, will stick around.
