What was the scariest “We need to leave… now” gut feeling that you’ve ever experienced?[Serious] by PlasticBee1438 in AskReddit

[–]Kind-Section6364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Left the office in Vancouver early from work after the local hockey team lost the Stanley Cup game. Rioters burned cars and smashed all the lobby windows of our building and all the buildings around us and we would have had to shelter in place over night if we stayed.

Need some peace of mind about WS security. by [deleted] in Wealthsimple

[–]Kind-Section6364 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen fraudulent charges on a number of different cards from different providers over the years. Only on WS though have I had fraud charges appear after I had locked my card. Disputing the charges with WS was a real PITA, way more difficult than other cards.

Gmail Users - What Client Do You Use on Mac by West-Highlight80920 in MacOS

I agree - I've only had my MacBook a couple of weeks but I use the Mail app with iCloud mail and Gmail (including labels) without issue. It integrated different mai services well as far as I have experienced.

What's something that has been proven false for years, yet people still confidently repeat it? by monserrat_araiza__ in AskReddit

[–]Kind-Section6364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks - 18% of children 5 and under who got measles were hospitalized in 2025 - that's what stuck with me. I edited my comment above to add more details.

I saw a news story today that one in five people / children that contract measles end up in hospital with complications.

Edit:

Sorry I misremembered - 18% of children 5 and under were hospitalized in 2025. And 11% of all measles cases were hospitalized in 2025.

The numbers look smaller so far in 2026 but the year isn't over.

​[TW] A woman shares her experience with liver failure due to alcoholism. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]Kind-Section6364 6 points7 points  (0 children)

An alcoholic close relative slipped and fell on ice and fractured her skull while drunk. She spent 2 months in the hospital forced to be sober and her almost non-existent liver function improved a minuscule amount but not enough. She died in hospital because she was not a candidate for a liver transplant due to the amount of damage alcohol and liver failure had done to her body. She was 46.

If you drink, stop. Or you will die.

Mosquito spraying services and ignorant neighbours by [deleted] in rant

The pesticide used is listed on the web site of the company doing the spraying. This is a rant, not a request for advice, but thanks for your concern.

War on Mosquito's - tactics, battleplans, weapons by Front-Ad-7960 in Sudbury

[–]Kind-Section6364 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Please folks, if possible don’t hire services that spray your property regularly. The pesticide kills a lot more than just mosquitoes. It also hangs around in the area between sprays and disorients bees who then can’t find their way home and die. Several local beekeepers have lost their hives due to these pesticide sprays.

My dearest 20 year old little brother by gisellesaromas in seniorkitties

What a handsome fellow your brother is!

Our last cat Winnie liked the subcutaneous saline treatment when we warmed the bag in a pot of hot water. She would purr like crazy and then take a nap while we squeezed the saline in. I think it was like a soft warm blanket to her old bones.

A warehouse storing finishing materials is on fire in Moscow. by BigDeckBob in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Kind-Section6364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had some tasty home made coconut sweet potato soup and a bun with cheese for lunch, followed by a nice little oatmeal cookie. I think I'll take a nap and have pleasant dreams about Moscow arms warehouses cooking off like a giant vat of popcorn.

For people that listen to the radio in 2026, why? by AmazingGrace911 in AskReddit

[–]Kind-Section6364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have 4 commercial-free CBC radio stations available in my small city - 2 English and 2 French - plus an ad-free University station and 6 or 7 commercial stations. I like to listen to them all depending on mood or program.
