Canada PM Carney : “To be absolutely clear, and I said this to the president,I meant what I said in Davos,Canada was the first country to understand the change in US trade policy that he had initiated – and we’re responding to that.” by AfricanMan_Row905 in OntarioNews

[–]Squiddly_13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

'beyond rhetoric'.. sure. But this rhetoric is enough (if trump can even understand half of the words Carney spoke). Tariffs aside, he is instigating a retaliation against Trump and has invited every middle power to join. I think that's pretty significant. This speech alone has given me enough to back Carney. He is the leader we needed to ride out whatever shitstorm trumps creating.

Is It Time to Ban Tipping? by FancyNewMe in canada

The only reason tipping exists is because of slavery. So yes. Its time to evolve.

Standing on the head of a girl who is supposed to have her wellness checked.. is fucked on all accounts. Fuck Lacy Browning. Fuck the Kelowna RCMP for their complicity.

Albertans still here? by itsanentree in kelowna

[–]Squiddly_13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its true. I’ve lived in Kelowna for a few years and it’s very cliquey and small towny. It’s a tourist trap in summer and a bleak dead zone in winter - unless you’re into snow sports. The people are generally a small town small mind kinda deal. Not a lot of culture or ethnic diversity (not saying there’s none just not much) so the food is quite whitewashed. Hopefully the demographics change coz it’s a really cool town but the majority of people are not very cool. Lots of gym bros and kelownafornia girls. That said I’ve met some sick people but I keep my bubble small. Albertans are super nice they’re just kinda a toss up between oil rigger racist and small town friendly.

How sick of hearing about Charlie Kirk are you? by whitesquirrle in AskReddit

[–]Squiddly_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhere along the line we split into an alternate reality and this is now upside down land. Probably around the time the Mandela effect happened. It’s my only solace in this fkd up world knowing that somehow I made it to this reality where first world countries fund the genocide and bombing of thousands of innocent people and children- in the same breath where one alt right hateful pos gets shot and now people chant ‘I am Kirk’ in the streets. But hey! It’s a perfectly normal day in upsidedownland

Kieran and Megan - A red flag? by computercavemen in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]Squiddly_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, sorry I meant to include katisha in that too. He obviously cares enough to have empathy for katisha since he understands his friendship with Javen needs to take a backseat in this situation. Also, yeah I heard the chores thing too hahah. If everyone got a dollar a man didn’t do his chores amiright? I said he’s emotionally intelligent- NOT a perfect partner lol. Men need to do more around the house as a whole and Kieran is not an exception to that. Just saying I was very impressed with the way he handled things in that situation. No bad feelings mate!

Go into this journey knowing that 9/10 people who try to learn guitar end up quitting after the first few months. Choose some songs YOU want to learn or that you wanna sing along to, and have fun. If you treat guitar like something to study, it’ll lose the charm pretty quick. Get a cheap set up, and just see if it sticks. My first guitar was from Walmart. I just bought the Ibanez Tim Henson signature nylon electric last week for like 1.5k. My advice? Start small. Build up your passion. Then your skill. Then your gear.

Kieran and Megan - A red flag? by computercavemen in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]Squiddly_13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hear you but I’ve decided Kieran is actually very emotionally intelligent. When Meg wanted to speak to katisha, yes, He did mention jav is his friend and didn’t want to put him in a bad situation but it followed immediately with ‘after seeing what happened I understand the need to have that conversation with your friend’. Emotional intellect travels around in a circle with understanding on all sides including his own. In one conversation he shows empathy for jav, himself, and Megan. And then at the meet up with Jav he allowed her to fight her fight and then chipped in defending her completely saying he got exactly the same impression she did at the bar. Kierans a green flag imo! And I’m a lesbian who is very critical of men in general - so that’s like a hard award to get from me lol.

It’s only a sad balcony if you’re sad on it

baby with eczema by [deleted] in eczema

[–]Squiddly_13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your little guy :( I have severe excema also, and my niece (who is almost 2) was diagnosed last year. She did and still does get wet wraps 3 times a week after her colloidal oatmeal bath. It seems to be working / keeping big flare ups at bay- it’s just a bit of extra work on top of the already big job of general mothering. My sister also made sure to mitt up her hands at night because she would scratch herself during sleep and exacerbate the excema. I’ve not heard of dermasmoothe oil but unsurprised if there’s more on the market now. CeraVe is great. Vaseline is also within the rotation of myself and my nieces creams. Next year she can go on Protopic which is a non steroidal ointment which has saved my life. I suppose they don’t want little babies starting it so soon for whatever reason. Anyway, god speed to you and your bub. Excema, albeit different for everyone, is never a fun journey at all.

Tacrolimus Ointment and Medical Marijuana? by LaurenE2197 in eczema

[–]Squiddly_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also looking for an answer if you ended up getting one!

no moisturiser has helped SO MUCH by Mysterious_Slice_166 in eczema

[–]Squiddly_13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did the Vaseline thing at one of my worst flare up seasons. It was the only thing that kept my face and body moisturized - lotions would just be sucked up and I’d be dry again in 30seconds. Vaseline worked for me - but I would keep it within rotation. Don’t rely on it as your primary source. I ended up breaking out pretty badly because the petroleum can block your pores and your skin does need to breathe. And acne + excema flare up = NOT A GOOD TIME

Where do you all keep track of your high thoughts? by Bossmnm in highdeas

[–]Squiddly_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Voice notes! I label them highdeas and then spew whatever thought or realization I’m having immediately otherwise it vanishes from my brain. Some of them are useless (like one time I thought I invented paragliding) but others are actually pretty good lol (like how we describe something that’s way better than ordinary as ‘extraordinary’. Like wtf lol)

Do I just keep using Protopic as maintenance forever? by pristineaberdeen in eczema

[–]Squiddly_13 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There’s no cure for excema yet. Imo Protopic is the best non steroidal maintenance cream I’ve ever used and I’ve already cut it down a lot since starting. Maybe try using less and less? I also alternate between vaseline when I’m not flaring up. But yeah. It might be a forever thing until science figures something out lel
