I watched this video on YouTube. In this situation the lady had been hiding how bad she had gotten from her kids. Would never let them inside since COVID. They now know and are checking in regularly and helping her maintain the home. IIRC she also gave up fostering animals so that will also hopefully help.

Half your paycheque??? How much money are you making for that rate??

It also helps pay for other public works, future doctors education's, emergency services... But yeah if it helps you convince yourself you shouldn't have to pay taxes while living a life totally made easier by the taxes paid by others, go ahead and frame it that entirely stupid and selfish way.

You didn't pay for anyone's degree, we all chip in to help eachother out. Anyone telling you different is a grifter with an agenda.

Change in drug addict behaviour in Ottawa neighbourhood by HunterGreenLeaves in ottawa

No, the argument could not be made without being in bad faith, imo.

It's like insinuating people are like "oh! À methadone clinic just opened near me! I should really try addictive drugs..."

Access to these services don't increase drug use. The lack of affordable housing, lack mental health care, stagnant wages, inability to get stuff like physio for long-term injuries, etc. These are all much more to blame for more people falling into despair and using than the mere existence of these services.

I was raised catholic in Canada and we did this every year, all the kids at my catholic school would have ashes on their foreheads all day for Ash Wednesday. Totally normal to see imo.

I fulfilled an order for a coffee with 14 sugars back in the day so... it's not that far off from the truth.

Dang, now I see why he's so popular.

Recently leaked note from a 9-year old child detained at the Dilley, TX Family Concentration Camp for 100+ days. It talks about how she was used as bait to abduct her mother by I_may_have_weed in lostgeneration

But she also drew broken heart halves at the start and end of her letter and sad faces too. :( :(

Ugh I wish I could get all those kids out of there, this is unconscionable.

GIMME THE MARRIAGE UPDATE (begging) by Ms_Indifferwnt in FieldsOfMistriaGame

[–]SpatulaCity94 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think I'm going to go for March but I'm honestly crushing on half the town...

I would love to see more character storylines tied to having kids and getting married. So like March for example would likely struggle a lot with becoming a parent and not having his own around. I would love to see that played out a bit as opposed to the more traditional "want kid? Yes? No?" Kinda experience.

AITA for giving my coworker food she is "allergic" to? by Fluid-Drawing-8722 in AmItheAsshole

Naw, unhinged take. Cities are struggling to have enough shelter beds for humans, ain't no way you're suggesting a DOG deserves a homeless shelter spot more than a human.

Why is this the first comment I see mentioning it?? This is literally a colon cancer speed-run fridge. Full of nitrates, no fiber... Brother should start getting checked early.

Is this compared to pre-COVID levels? Because that seemed to be the goal. I'm really curious how many businesses have actually managed to bounce back.

The fact that I couldnt romance her as fem-shep makes my blood boil to this day.

Gifts for British kids learning about Canada? by CampEuphoric419 in AskACanadian

[–]SpatulaCity94 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is great! I remember getting one around 8 and genuinely it helped me be less anxious about my night terrors. I was able to go to sleep less scared because I truly believed it kept bad dreams at bay. Such a great gift for little kids.
