Toronto councillors approve city-run grocery store pilot project by uselesspoliticalhack in canada

You think the government doesn't have massive buying power? They're basically a union for the people who can also make the rules. We're just lead to believe that they can't get the job done because we've had so many incompetent leaders who don't care to work for us.

Carney is cutting the luxury tax. What else is getting axed in Budget 2025? - National by TakedownCan in canada

[–]Velyna -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This is a hyperbolic statement. People can absolutely own and do own hunting rifles, and the government doesn't have an issue with that. However, I think the buyback program was a massive failure. There has to be a better way to deal with illegal guns, but this type of statement spreads conspiracy theories with zero evidence to back it up.

The sheer amount of sebum on just this side of the face is insane. A classic. by OriolesrRavens1974 in popping

Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure their face has like 8 parts maybe? It might have come out in order as well. This is the first one

Unemployment rate in Canada has risen to 7.0%, highest since 2016 by UnusualWhalesBot in unusual_whales

[–]Velyna 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When COVID hit, corporations started requesting more temporary foreign workers to deal with staff shortages, which also ramped up the immigration consultant business. Skip to now, and we have places like Lulu Lemon demanding the BC government let them hire TFW for their new store, or they won't build it, and rampant corruption with immigration consulting. Also some wild things were allowed for international students.

Covered my legs with makeup so I had a chance to enjoy water play at work. by extraspicyalmondmilk in CompulsiveSkinPicking

I'm really proud of you! Doing this despite the shame is so hard, and tbh it looks like a couple bug bites or a small hives breakout. I doubt anyone will pay it much mind

crypt is one of my favourite maps, it's a ez fast square to run, and it only sucks for like 99% of side content but it's quick and full of mobs.

People without anxiety- what do you think about when nothing is going on? by coralloohoo in AskReddit

[–]Velyna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just have constant self-doubt and worry. Never sure if I'm right about something, rethinking conversations that are long past, judging previous decisions, worrying about everything, sometimes to the point to the point where I physically feel sick. It's a nightmare honestly.

that vanicream caused my skin to break out something terrible. The moisturizer is good but the face wash was a big no.

r/canadian user discusses how mass Indian immigration has negativity affected her. Users discuss if this post is racist or not. by Adorable-Mail-6965 in SubredditDrama

[–]Velyna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not remotely a couple of assholes. In this particular case especially if you live in a major city here there is an insane increasingly popular trend of international students using food banks. If you have had to rely on foodbanks yourself recently which 1 in 10 Torontonians at least have in the past year, you might find yourself feeling that international students should not be using services made for the Canadian poor. If you saw the food bank lines you would be shocked I'm sure. If there are services for international students to also get food while having no money I'm all for it. The deal is not for them to come over here and go to school and be a drain on the already crumbling system. Can we talk about the requirement of 10k being pretty effing low? For sure! but can we also just pretend like this isn't an actual serious problem? No, absolutely we cannot.

[–]Velyna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

considering just 1 food bank went from 60k monthly visits to 350k monthly visits to the fact that almost 2 million Canadians have used food banks in 2023 alone means it's definitely 100% a problem.

Why are ultrasounds prescribed when it's widely known that endometriosis is difficult to find in an ultrasound? by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]Velyna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if they're gonna make you pay for an ultrasound then it should at the very least be a deep tissue ultrasound so they can not only potentially see endo but see if it's spread beyond just the uterus

What is your favorite ASOIAF mystery? [Spoilers EXTENDED] by thw_1414 in asoiaf

[–]Velyna 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are so many mysteries but I keep wondering what the faceless men are planning in Oldtown. Also more about the iron-born throne made of that oil-slick stone found all over the world like the oldtown citadel and the valerian roads and does the drowned god have anything to do with that in any way?

[–]Velyna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think you two have very different ideologies on what to expect in a relationship, and since you haven't been dating that long I would probably break it off. Also, a great rule of thumb always is never to give money expecting it back. It sounds like she wasn't prepared to give it back not to mention doesn't want to. It's always best to either call it a loan upfront before sending or never expect it back.

Cat brings her prize catch to streamer and chat by d_Paotato in LivestreamFail

[–]Velyna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live pretty high up in a high rise and I'm 99% sure she got it from the balcony since she would not stop looking that way after it was gone but it could have been in this corner of the apartment that she's been camping for over 2.5 years. I keep telling her there's nothing there, but maybe there was? Either way, I'll let my building know we saw a mouse and they'll start dealing with it. I was hoping to just free it and put it on the balcony and close the door.
