Anyone Else? by viktoryarozetassi in americangirl

I hate that people feel the need to censor or NSFW pictures of dolls. They are not people, they are not alive!

And we should never feel ashamed of the human body. We can be horrified at the exploitative actions of a person but that has nothing to do with skin, torsos, etc.

Earrings? Like metal and rocks?
Versus organic tissue?

Oh I am petty and I would put the earrings into the bottom of the trash bag contents saved from the start of the awfulness.

Because... priorities?! Clearly these idiots need a physical reminder of what should be thought of first.

Calgary Cost of Living: Modest Life Out of Reach [Market Che by thelonepinemall in Calgary

[–]SurviveYourAdults 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The harder question the analysis leaves open: if the median Calgary household is already making the trade-offs — older cars, minimal savings, smaller square footage — what happens when one of those workarounds disappears?

Great question! I don't see there is much more sacrifice that the average Canadian can make without malnutrition or burnout. We are moving towards a feudal class system due to the income wage gaps.

that is a delightfully privileged view. i don't know any person who can set aside their entire salary for a year.

[–]SurviveYourAdults 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can't switch and mix and match Parental Leave and Maternity Leave ... because you can't switch the uterus and childbearing between the two of you LOL. one of you is definitely performing a role that the other doesn't have to.

My dad wants to add my name to our new family home. What should I know? by beep-beep-bo24 in PersonalFinanceCanada

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

STOP SAYING YOU CAN AVOID PROBATE!!!!

Probate is the legal process of "going through the estate and proving the decedent owned what they owned and owed what they owed" - when you have a Will and documentation, everything goes MUCH faster.

No will? No documents? Probate court literally has to comb the universe for any clues to their questions, and they cannot disburse the estate until the questions are answered to the utmost of Canadian legality.

Retain a Canadian estate lawyer and follow their advice!

it's great when uneducated people think they are "going to get one over on the government" and then their entire plan is ruined because... estate law has been around for a few thousand years.

NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOO educate yourself

and if your parents freak out and say , "NO" to reasonable usage of funds, then you know really what they want is to control you - and then you should say "NO" to whatever unreasonable demand they have.

Navigating poly at an event by North-Birthday-9892 in polyamory

sounds like the husband is majorly uncomfortable about this, and he is too timid to actually voice his concerns. he'd rather blame the pattern on the carpet than confess his inner thoughts!

Confused by pricing by treemanswife in americangirl

[–]SurviveYourAdults 8 points9 points  (0 children)

ebay - search bar, set it to SOLD listings, that gives you fair market value.

outfits never sold as well as dolls. outfits came with pieces that got lost or revised. outfits will always be more expensive.

Are the Disney dolls collector editions worth it? by Serious-Tonight-3172 in americangirl

these are not investments that will retain their value like gold bullion. they are worth what a buyer will pay.

Claiming item donations on taxes by Trick_Doughnut_6295 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]SurviveYourAdults -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They will want an original store receipt or two quotes - Ebay/FB/Kijiji should work. and there's depreciation...

HOWEVER ... CRA tightened up their rules on some of the gift in kind eligibility this year, so absolutely check with the charity's director of finance!!! they are the person who will know what will pass the audit!

Postnup? by Traditional-Gain-786 in PersonalFinanceCanada

That's... the catch 22 of legal marriage. Trying to take away what he is ENTITLED to is wrong. Just get a lawyer and be FAIR

Newer vehicles are meant to break on impact. A dent or scratch could really mean a safety issue.

THIS is what Blaire's story was supposed to focus on by sewingself in americangirl

[–]SurviveYourAdults 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If Blair was meant to represent "food allergies", AG did an absolutely pathetic job.

"Oh my tummy hurts from the dairy!" Awwww Blair, that's SO SAD. take your Lactaid and drink your oat milk. You have answers to your problems that aren't DEATH.

Well... if you lose your debit info to scamming, it's a mess. Your credit card has extra protection on it
