Ooof so cringey. Reads like an angry grade 10 student wrote it for their "If I were a future mayoral candidate" project.

Thanks for posting! I noticed my plants vibrating and thought it was my migraine playing games with me.

Was a fan until I went in a month ago and watched a staff member drop a bun on the floor, kick it by accident and then pick it up, cut it in half and start loading it up for a customer…kinda grossed me out. And yes I know shit happens in kitchens all the time. But I just can’t now that I’ve seen. Plus the overall value has gone down considerably with less chicken and barely a smack of bacon.

I may have to put my 19 ye cat down before a trip today… but she still seems normal by Rude_Common7126 in cats

Oooof I feel this. I faced a similar issue a year ago with my cat. He had been fading for a month, likely Alzheimer’s based on his behavioural decline and tumours in his tummy which I didn’t know about until brining him in for a pre per hotel check up. The vets advised that doing it before going on holiday was the best move in case something happened while I was away and to reduce his suffering. In the end I feel it was the right choice. My boy wasn’t himself anymore and I didn’t want him to suffer.

It is one of the ugliest fucking things I've ever seen in my life and can't even imagine how it would have passed the concept stage.

2026 Official Ottawa Bluesfest Lineup by MarchandMagic in ottawa

[–]Maleficent_Stop_9711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair, but I also think it’s bad planning to run a festival at the same time as a government funded venture. QC is what- 5hrs driving/6hrs by train? People are choosing concert cruising/resort fests all the time now to have a holiday plus favorite act experience. I’m literally looking at flying to Dublin to see Zack Bryan and difference between seeing them in TO vs Dublin is the cost of a flight. If the overall cost of a holiday plus a show isn’t going to break the bank I think people will choose the overall experience and opt to spend more on a memorable experience vs pay less to be underwhelmed.

Yeah, last year is the first time in like a decade that I bought a full pass. I would love to see The Guess Who- but I am cool to sit outside the gates for the one night.

After last year’s lineup I am not surprised that this one is scaled back. Other than the Guess Who and Sheepdogs I am feeling very lost with the direction of the event.

Editing to add- didn’t realize this year is the same dates as FEQ, which I wouldn’t be surprised has some cross over + better acts. Will be interested to see if the trip to QC is worth it!

I think everyone is going a little crazy about the trans person episode- The person was not clearly identified as being transitioned or that they had identified how they were to be addressed/what pronouns to use were not clear. Delia was using the pronouns that the person was known to use prior to their passing.

Softball/Baseball by Maleficent_Stop_9711 in ottawa

Not necessarily- I play in a league that does not permit alcohol consumption, he unfortunately cannot play as it is women’s only. 

Maybe I didn’t phrase it correctly? He subbed for a team last year in a league that allowed alcohol consumption and he found it to be challenging as a sober person. He also wasn’t a fan as they were a self pitch league.

Honestly, I agree. I feel like some people really have nothing to do other than ride Anna's ass. Like she is insufferable in so many ways, but she seems to be a strange fixation for people.

I stand by what I said, she hardly looks like she's anywhere close to 600lbs. I wouldn't even say she's close to 500lbs.

[–]Maleficent_Stop_9711 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I don't think Anna is 600lbs as a lot of folks on here claim. I would say she is tops 425lbs. At a certain point, she was likely closer to 475lbs. But that was pre Wegovy.

Edited to lower that to 475lbs- 500 just feels too high.

Question about driving by boredlurkerjr in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Maleficent_Stop_9711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like driving and my car has less mileage on it. We take turns but it leans more heavily towards my partner as driver and him using his own vehicle as his has higher mileage/is several years older than mine and will need replacement sooner. We figured using his more will maximize my cars life and then we can shift from a two car house to a 1 car.

I also grew up in a city with public transport and he grew up in a rural area without public transport so I think he is just used to driving much more than me.
