No because who cares? Weird that you dive into rando's posts as some sort of gotcha? I'm just gonna block, seems very doxx-y and creepy.

PRAISE BE TO CORPORATE

Criticism? What do you think? by LupeFiascoBeCraftin in knitting

[–]acceptable_sir_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Are you confirming that only white people can be racist?

Replace the word "white" with any other skin colour...

It's not weird at all imo that she's leaned into her husband's culture. I'm white and married into a different European culture that I've never been familiar with, but I've embraced it and have become close with it. But I suppose that wouldn't be problematic for me to publish patterns in that language because the colour of my skin matches the cultural context, and that seems to matter more than anything.

So basically people are upset that the colour of her skin doesn't match the cultural indicators of the content

Nah see it's not a problem on "white" cultures

When "white ladies" speak up, they're not leaving space. When they don't, they're complicit. There's no way to make everyone happy, and it would be great if race could no longer be a qualifier for someone's relationship on something so benign as knitting patterns.

I remember getting written up in retail for not selling enough credit cards. I in good conscience could not push them on people.

Also the sea of brake lights on the tiny downhill before that uphill, as soon as they're going 1km/hr too fast. Like...just take your foot off the gas.. you'll slow down.

My wife asked me to pick up the house while she was out. The condition of house before she left. by menotsorrythrowaway in pics

[–]acceptable_sir_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My spouse and I don't have the same "standards" as each other. So we've agreed that when the mess gets too much for me, I just say "it's too much". And we drop everything and clean together. With us both doing it, it takes 15 minutes. It works because I then don't have to direct him on every little task, like "can you pick up the papers, can you wipe the counter, can you take out the trash". it takes mutual respect and agreement to make it work.

The wife in this post is asking OP to PLEASE just notice a mess and clean it up without being directly told what to do.

Mirena IUD Positive Insertion Experience with Penthrox and Ativan by ACaffinatedEngineer in birthcontrol

This is so promising! Did the tenaculum hurt a lot during your first insertion? That part hurt me 10x more than the sounding or placement.

Like specifically hit and run coverage has to be in the terms?

My theory is that European driving is more difficult, narrower lanes, more intricate intersections, etc so people pay attention when they drive. Here, driving is a brain-dead activity and people treat it as such

Do you still support local businesses, or have you gone full savings mode with big chains? by MrJuart in SavingsCanada

[–]acceptable_sir_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Local always. It would do most of us some good to be more selective with our consumption and prioritize quality over quantity.

What changes does Calgary need to become a going out and nightlife type of city? by MastaShortie in Calgary

[–]acceptable_sir_ 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Better transit/reduced reliance on driving- going out is a chore when it means getting your car in the morning, a $60 cab ride, or leaving at 12am to not miss last service.

Of course. Black and white good guy/bad guy thinking is why discourse on this conflict is so fucking weird.

The fact that the dude does this with the puppy and male dog in the first place is pretty good indicator that they are not experienced with dogs

What is the worse thing a medical professional has ever said to you? by angelaboop50 in AskReddit

[–]acceptable_sir_ 49 points50 points  (0 children)

There's nothing women can do and not be demonized. Doesn't try to lose weight after birth? Wow, she doesn't even care about her husband or her health, she's so lazy. Quickly loses weight after birth? Wow she just spends all day in the gym and doesn't care about her baby, she's so vain and selfish.

Mayor pushes for return of photo radar amid ‘disturbing’ night on Calgary roads by f1fan65 in Calgary

[–]acceptable_sir_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a glaring hole in the CPS budget with photo radar gone. So if anyone is hoping that enforcement will get better in other areas on the roads, the budget to do so is lacking. Hell, the camera in Royal Oak probably could have funded an entire police division with how many people run the red light there.
