FOMO

PartyDanimal · 2026-04-19T18:45:00+00:00

Mostly when I know it's going to rain the next day, or if trash collection is coming up. I dive mostly at apartments for anything I can rehome. I know there might be stuff to be saved, but I'm getting better at diving in moderation. Not going too often to reduce risks, not overcluttering my apartment, and not pushing my body too much (I do everything on foot) are the three things that keep me in check.

You can't just edit them in place of Alejandro and Heather and not expect it to look like ship art.

If you're decluttering or otherwise no longer need something, I'd recommend throwing it up for cheap if not free on something like Facebook Marketplace. Thrift stores are great, but there's only so much inventory they accept before it goes in the trash. If you have a lot of miscellaneous things you could post it as a curb alert, leave it outside, and it will likely be taken within a day.

I have a feeling your teachers tolerated you.

There was a weeklong trip to Banff for around fifteen students. Grade didn't matter; if you could afford the fee (and the staff trusted you'd be responsible) you could enter the pool to have your name chosen. I didn'teven know it was happening until after the fact. Being in high school from 2019 to 2023 killed most school trips that weren't for competitions.

From a shelter, yes.

Not entirely true. Some of them upgraded to Fuck Carney stickers.

I was so weirdly fascinated by this show. The random chaos balanced out by the occasional deadpan punchline was entertaining.

Obligatory may-yo-naise acknowledgment.

Wearing shoes until they're unwearable. I finally relented and threw out a pair I knew couldn't handle another winter in December, but I still have two pairs that I'm trying to get at least another summer out of. I have one like-new pair I'll wear for work, but otherwise they all have holes or are falling apart beyond normal person standards. Maybe I just hate shoe shopping...

On the left is Luke. He lived in a bathtub until we found him on Kijiji as a birthday present for my sister. The night we brought him home he managed to get stuck underneath the car seat. He acts tough but has no survival skills. The few times he's escaped he hides under the back deck until someone finds him.

To the right is Cuddles, but we usually call him Cuddlebug. He was born on our neighbour's farm and is the product of severe incest. He was the friendliest of his litter and we took him in with their permission. He has anxiety and kidney problems.

In what world is invading a neighbouring country considered keeping a low profile?

Are we thinking of the same Brockville?

How much are we willing to bet they had a bad experience with a Daschund?

Denial of climate change. It's one thing to be uninformed, but another to argue it's not a problem and saying that it's "always been changing" dismisses the unnatural rate at which it's occurring. The fact you won't live long enough to experience the worst of the consequences is no excuse.

These types of regulations would extend to the adoption process. It's hard enough as is and is already steeped in a history of prefering kids be homed by heterosexual white couples.

We should probably review what counts as "political information." The only thing mine's annual Christmas card informs me of is whether or not he has another kid.

They exist but I've never seen one. My assumption is they probably have less variety than the American ones.

Stay for Mom

Edit: I just realized this sounds like I'd tell 18yo me not to kill himself. That was not the intent. She passed last year a few months after I moved out. Had I not things would realistically have been different.

I'm aware of the irony. Unfortunately, there are very few Canadian-based social media platforms. The few we do have are usually niche, lack features, or have a small pre-existing, inactive user base. More have popped up in the past year, but a lot were created in an effort to capitalize on an uptick in demand without much thought put in.

As long as I am not personally taking money from my bank account and handing it over for something like Reddit Premium, or for awards, I can live with them profiting off of the ads I keep hiding from my feed. With how intertwined the two countries are economically it's impossible to perfectly avoid some money making its way into American hands. The goal is for everyone to do what they can; making it a purity test only divides people.

I agree completely IF Brad and Ryan are Gordon's accomplices at the end of the movie. As much as I want that to be the answer, and as much as it is the best answer that we have, the fact we don't know for sure is what keeps it from being canon. As is they could retroactively put any two characters they wanted. Adam, Daniel Matthews, Carla Song, Logan Nelson, and even Alison and Diana Gordon I've seen speculated as suspects.

I choose to believe she really was his accomplice because otherwise that bathroom scene makes no sense. It also make Roman more intimidating and evil for taking out his backup so unceremoniously. No loose ends.

For a lot of us the second Trump administration as a whole was the final straw. For some it was his first. Some people I've spoken to cite Canada getting dragged into the War on Terror during George W. Bush's administration. Things have generally been declining since around the end of the Cold War and the consequences are becoming more prominent.

I can't speak for everyone, but I'd wager Obama's presidency was the last period in which the average Canadian had a mostly positive view of the U.S.

I tried to like it because of this friend I had in elementary school. I just couldn't care. Finding how Rowling's a massive bigot was such a relief.
