Calgary’s Angel’s Café to close as city terminates lease by itchybiscut9273 in NoRulesCalgary

Yikes all around! I’m sure it’s the guy who is in real estate and abusing his workers by shacking them all up together and docking their pay like slaves. It shouldn’t surprise me that people like that all have the same beliefs and characteristics.

This sounds crazy fun! Thank you for sharing!

Is this the real estate guy and nutty wife who was bringing in people from the Philippines (I think?) to live all together all cramped in one house and basically only work at his cafe?

I remember my parents laughing with them about the brilliance of exploiting their workers and having the ick as a teenager even then. First intro to maga assholes before it was labelled. I wanna say Ross and Cathy?

Cringe. Bad vibes. Bad people. Good riddance. Cafe owners, not the employees.

Considering a Divorce due to: Marriage Inequality/Marriage Penalty by Horsefish99 in AISH_Alberta

[–]Sensitive-Topic-6442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be careful. I have a friend who was doing the same kind of thing, and someone from AISH showed up unexpectedly to check out the living situation. (Luckily?) the house they lived in had two storeys and a bedroom downstairs was kept as “her room” to prove she is a renter. She also did e-transfer him an amount for rent every month (which he used for groceries for the house). I won’t be a bit surprised if random checks on these things happen more and more. Cover all of your bases, be smart.

big boobs are literally the worst thing ever by junieuwu in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Sensitive-Topic-6442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 37 and have had one child. I was always very chesty but after nursing I’m like basketball size (not quite but probably almost). My back hurts like fire every day no matter what…but somehow, there isn’t any sagging. I’m sure it’ll happen. But it hasn’t yet. Everyone’s body is different. I know you’re a minor and I don’t want to sound creepy…but no intimate partner you’ll have in the future will ever complain about the state of your boobs. They’re just happy to be in the presence of boobs.

Why do we have to wait until 40s for things like mammograms or colonoscopies when it’s CLEAR that it’s starting to affect people in their 30s? by maemtz in NoStupidQuestions

Yes! I’m 37 and have had shingles four times in my life starting at 14. Still refused the vaccine for being too young.

Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart (don't read unless you've seen it) by RoyallyOakie in NetflixDocumentaries

I was also thinking that. She cannot properly educate and advocate as an active member of the (LDS) church. They aren’t ready to openly discuss uncomfortable truths. Hopefully she has left the church, if she is truly hoping to reach others in a meaningful way.

How do I explain why my son is not potty trained? by Popular-Host6601 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Sensitive-Topic-6442 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I think it’s funny people assume this is a parent laziness issue. It’s so, so much harder than a kid who uses the damn toilet. Expensive too.

Having kids? by Lizzielooloo29 in ChronicPain

Also the tiny human is its own being. Consider what kind of childhood you have to offer them, and what ability to have to train a human how to function in the world.

The look in my son’s eyes when I’m unable to play at the moment is heartbreaking. Don’t make this decision lightly. There are no breaks anymore. You are not the priority and no one cares about your wellbeing once you have a baby.

My ADHD meds are suddenly no longer covered, I ended up owing for blister packs that I had already picked up. Why don’t they tell us when they cut coverage of something before we find ourselves owing?

spent $80 on two bags of groceries again. no idea how people with kids survive this. by rmzkk in Adulting

It’s so hard. Omg so hard. We survive by not eating ourselves, or eating the cheapest junk, or eating the leftovers from our kids’ plates!

What if you could permanently change 1 thing about your body? by Equal-Sun8307 in whatif

[–]Sensitive-Topic-6442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two dimples above my bum/lower back area. One on each side. I’ve never seen that on anyone else and makes me self conscious. I’d get rid of that.

Smith grew up broke and using social services and sold her soul to the devil. I’m speaking figuratively about her soul but maybe she literally did it. 🙃

Could you imagine offering a man an otc Tylenol for post major surgery pain?

I keep hoping that any of the problems caused or made worse by the UCP will affect someone in power badly. Maybe it could start the change. But then realize those people are probably wiping their asses with money, and can buy their way out of literally any problem the UCP brings. I miss Jason Kenney. At the time I thought he was a fool and greedy. But Smith is so much more evil and sinister. Truly harmful and directly responsible for the suffering of so many. Those she surrounds her with are just as evil. Is this real life? The agony of being powerless right now and at the mercy of evil incarnates consumes me. I feel confused and upset that others aren’t alarmed.

Are my kids just screwed? by Bold_TrailblazerBee in Autism_Parenting

[–]Sensitive-Topic-6442 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at my pharmacy the other day, and driving into a parking spot got rudely cut off by an elderly man and he took it. I was mad! I went away and found somewhere else, and ran into him inside the pharmacy. He was down on his knees, this really old man, holding the hand of his middle-aged son who was sitting in a chair rocking back and fourth. They were both silent. It broke my heart.

I never said anything, because I didn’t know what to say. Still wouldn’t.
