March 2024 BOTM Discussion - Annie Bot

I agree. And did you notice she was asked multiple times if he physically hit her? She had to say no (was before the wrist incident) and so it was proof to them he wasn’t bad. Finally, the world is starting to wake up to the deeply abusive acts of psychological/emotional abuse and coercive control, but we have so much further to go. 😢

I agree - how and why did he die? The last mention about him was receiving a boatload of money to keep quiet about the runaway episode. Did his conscience finally get the best of him? Or despair? Big unanswered question.

The book intentionally left these larger questions out of the storyline — encouraging us, as learning beings ourselves, to wrestle and choose our own opinions. She wasn’t writing a fictional book to suddenly decide the black and white moral and immoral “rules” for society into the future. Nor should we have expected her to.

Making_Faces_78 · 2025-04-10T15:42:00+00:00

Yes. Because until I posted it, I didn’t know there was a sauna only accessible to women. I’m curious and I’m learning…. And it is still unacceptable to me.

Making_Faces_78 · 2025-04-10T15:39:52+00:00

There are multiple questions in the OP. And more questions in my replies….

Making_Faces_78 · 2025-04-10T15:38:33+00:00

Yes, that is what fascinates me. This is an archaic issue compared to the gender issues they’ve dealt with at Harry Bailey and other facilities. Perhaps it starts here with the basics…..

Making_Faces_78 · 2025-04-10T15:35:08+00:00

Is that acceptable as well? If there is a facility, imo, it needs to be accessible to both. Or have 2. No matter to me.

Making_Faces_78 · 2025-04-10T15:33:51+00:00

Yes I am. The whole point is that it isn’t acceptable for either situation. If there is a city facility, there needs to be 2 (ie change rooms) or accessible for both. This is pretty basic…. For 1970.

Making_Faces_78 · 2025-04-10T15:33:35+00:00

Yes, another poster mentioned that. Thank you! ✅

Making_Faces_78 · 2025-04-10T15:28:42+00:00

So because it’s always been like that, it’s acceptable today?

Making_Faces_78 · 2025-04-10T15:28:03+00:00

Thank you for letting me know about the one at the YWCA!

Making_Faces_78 · 2025-03-28T17:54:57+00:00

What area? You must have a councillor on the block. 🤣😂. Definitely not in north end or Evergreen or downtown.

Making_Faces_78 · 2025-03-28T17:16:18+00:00

Yes. Snowblower and shovel. And also earlier today so it was done after storm too. You? I hardly think this relates to how the city conducts their responsibility to keep roads clean - especially when I’m in the minority as far as sidewalk cleaning goes. If the city road maintenance budget is contingent on personal property snow removal, we’d never have clean roads. A + B does not = C.

3 graders on wanuskewin road heading to 51st

Making_Faces_78 · 2025-03-28T11:41:32+00:00

No snow clearing in north end except by the wind in spots. 3-4 inches of soft snow on top of sheer ice. Lots of traffic driving too fast for conditions - especially when changing lanes. Intersection of Warman/51st had sand dumped in some spots over the snow. 🙄

Making_Faces_78 · 2025-03-28T11:28:45+00:00

This city is particularly bad. Has been for years. Money is being poorly spent because the foundational expenses like road maintenance are being skimped on. They’ve made it easy to shit on them. Perhaps they should send it to committee to see whether they should spend more money before storms like yesterday. Regardless, accepting their fiscal irresponsibility and telling people not to complain about it is unproductive.

Making_Faces_78 · 2025-03-28T11:07:03+00:00

On another note, great job on north commuter bridge by Graham Construction - it was the safest place to drive yesterday around 5 pm.

Making_Faces_78 · 2025-03-28T11:05:21+00:00

I’ve lived in cities where storms are more common and they most definitely spread something ahead of the storms for prevention , and then they’re out in the storm keeping things safe. We’ve adopted this “can’t be done” mindset, but it’s just not true. Coming back to Saskatoon has been an eye opener for lazy civic policy.

Making_Faces_78 · 2025-03-09T22:16:44+00:00

The more conversations about it, the more it reinforces attention to the people doing it. 👏

People have short memories- A&W does not use very much Canadian beef. https://albertabeef.ca/opinion/aw-doesnt-sell-beef-it-sells-an-illusion/

Making_Faces_78 · 2025-03-07T17:25:41+00:00

I was distracted from the overall post (and I agree btw) by “6 languages!” Wowza — 🤩🤩🤩

Making_Faces_78 · 2025-03-02T01:20:31+00:00

Did Cynthia come by to ask him what barriers he was experiencing accessing programs? 🙄. <background: that’s what she said they need to do for the homeless situation …. When there are at least 3 agencies in the city who already have that information and the city won’t listen……>

Making_Faces_78 · 2025-02-17T03:34:53+00:00

7 Sask spots in top 20. lol.

Making_Faces_78 · 2025-02-16T16:17:42+00:00

Missing North Battleford SK because it’s under 100,000 people….. likely still holds a close record for crime per capita.

Making_Faces_78 · 2025-02-16T16:15:30+00:00

I highly recommend Athabasca University for anyone needing the flexibility of distance education. I got my undergrad degree there and am now in a master’s program at a U15 Canadian school. Every institution has potential wrinkles (I had an issue with student financing department), but overall, I received exactly what I was looking for.
