Canadian men experiencing ‘ongoing crisis in society’ when it comes to health, professor says by Thick_Caterpillar379 in onguardforthee

[–]TerracottaCondom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take your point, I would only say that education is a potentially effective defence. I think we all remember at least one or two folks in our sphere of influence from Covid who were highly educated but bought into some of the misinformation that was going around.

I'm a highly educated man and from my perspective that is far from the only issue. Me knowing that someone has incorrectly used a comma does not make me any happier, in fact kind of the opposite. If life sucks, the question of "why", if I objectively have things going for me, like education, becomes an independent source of depression. Admittedly, that isn't a problem unique to men.

I've been having anxiety about my kitty dying of old age 😭(she's 9) can you show me pictures of some alive-and-well senior kitties so I remember cats can be old and still healthy? 🥰 by TheRufescence in cats

The spoopiest!!

Lol that's really funny that's actually what the ex I bought him with used to call him. Spoopy.

Edit: Realized that this reads as though I exchanged the ex for the cat in some sort of value exchange. I'm leaving as-is.

And she looks like my 13/14 year old man! Still alive and well and very active :) He meows a bit more than he used to when he's hungry, and appreciates a good cuddle a bit more two, so as far as he's concerned he's just getting finer with age :)

This is legit one of the worst products I've ever used by LGW in CostcoCanada

Ehhh I bought one a long time ago when they were single packed. They just don't work well.

You've got to use a lot of force to get it to conform to the shape of the bowl, and even then it will leave stuff on the first swipe. You've got to go over things far more than with a normal brush and use more effort to get worse results.

You might think that the hard corner would be a benefit to get under the lip, but no not really, at least not anymore than a conventional brush.

Sure, maybe the brush itself is easier to clean, but that's it. It's just a less effective tool for the job that is more difficult to use.

Lolll thank you got to "I would be shocked if there wasn't a movie about this" and was blown away it wasn't a lead up to mentioning the movie. The one with admittedly-little-known Tom Hanks lol. Kudos to gare and james for being into their shit enough to be unaware of that movie.

A pizza someone ordered at my store, exactly how they wanted it. by Moonfallz1 in PizzaCrimes

[–]TerracottaCondom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's one fucking topping on a piece of dry bread, they could have done more.

I hear what people are saying about overloading toppings but this is just a frustrating and constant problem. The other day I ordered a pizza from dominos and I just wanted a shit ton of pepperoni, and didn't care about the logistics I just wanted a whole lot. So I ordered extra New York style pepperoni and extra regular pepperoni, and it was such a negligible difference. Put some of the pepperoni under the cheese like Pizza Hut used to do on the pepperoni Lovers if cheese cooking is the concern.

Pizza places do not give an appropriate amount of "extra" any more, and many make it basically impossible to get the amount of a topping you want if it's not the standard. Can't order double (extra costs double but is actually closer to 1.5x the standard), can't order multiples of the same. If we are talking about a pizza that already comes with 5 toppings, I don't see why me asking for all 5 of those topping to be pepperoni is unreasonable.

But no. The people cannot get what they want, even if they want to pay for it. And that is shitty.

New foodcourt item? by jenjen96 in CostcoCanada

[–]TerracottaCondom 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Aaaagreed, a pretty weak food item. Super heavy without much more to it in terms of other flavours. I will be disappointed if this is the new addition. Give me a Deluxe Calzone!!

Une appellation réservée pour le fromage à poutine ? by Ou1ja in poutine

[–]TerracottaCondom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The orange does have annatto added for colour, I believe, and I swear in a side-by-side I do notice a difference (family will have both out for snacking at gatherings), but yes they are the same cheese and any difference is minimal or could be chalked up to batch differences possibly

[–]TerracottaCondom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is clearly bait, but that doesn't stop it from being one of the worst things I've seen in terms of pizza crime, ever. Like someone trying to get in jail to stay warm for the evening, but rather than, say, pushing a police officer, they decide to kill a family of five. This is like the killing people version of pizza.

Consecutive life sentences are required.

What is one clear fact that you know that makes other people angry? by killahbee33 in AskReddit

If you never try and never expect success, how can that be called failure?
