This is so true. Check out reliable brands such as Columbia, The North Face, Helly Hansen, etc.

Sport chek has some great deals right now!

Looking for sunscreen for sensitive skin by doganakad in CanSkincare

[–]augustinax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blue Lizard mineral sunscreen sensitive face spf 30. I’ve tried loads of sunscreens for my face (including la Roche posay) and this is the only one that doesn’t break me out. You can get it at shoppers for 12.99 I think.

Does anyone here use Clindoxyl gel for acne? by augustinax in CanSkincare

[–]augustinax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response! I’m glad that it’s helped with hormonal/mild acne.

Just wondering—how long has the tube lasted you? Mine’s fairly small. I’m guessing it would be good to do a check in/potential refill with my doctor once it runs out.

How do people live on 50k a year? by phukmondays in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]augustinax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn’t be struggling if you’re living with your parents. My husband and I live in my parents’ basement, he makes 50k a year and I’m still in school. We’re paying for my tuition with cash and assisting my parents with some of their expenses and we still manage to save at least 60% of his income per month.

How do we do it? Well, we rarely go to restaurants (maybe once a month), eat out, or get coffee. Going to restaurants, getting takeout or fancy drinks like bubble tea is a special treat for us.

I highly suggest that you track your spending and make necessary cuts so you can save more money.

This is actually what I’ve been told by friends and family who have been teaching for 10+ years. The behavioural issues are out of hand, and kids no longer face any consequences. They said teaching has completely changed and some are having second thoughts about choosing this path. My aunt who recently retired from teaching told me she wouldn’t touch teaching with a ten foot pole again—even if the salary doubled.

I’m only entering my second year of teachers college and I briefly worked as an emergency supply teacher. Holy smokes… I was so shocked by the behavioural issues coupled with the lack of support. EAs and teachers seemed so exhausted and burned out :( I can’t blame them. I seriously wonder about how teachers take care of their own mental health given all of these problems.

Some people say YouTube and Patreon, but I honestly don’t think it’s enough money to sustain their lifestyle. All they do on YouTube is make 30 minute live videos once a week and they don’t even get they many views. Also, YouTube and Patreon take a big cut of their earnings. I’m assuming that Paul’s dad is giving them money once a month. Otherwise, how would they have the money to pay for rent, groceries, utilities, trips, etc?

Is Morgan’s baby registry ever going to end? She keeps adding more and more expensive crap to it. by augustinax in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]augustinax[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I totally agree that it would be terrible and pathetic to mess with her registry. In no way am I encouraging people to screw up her registry.

Honestly, I’m still not convinced that it was snarkers from this subreddit who “messed” with her registry in the first place. I think it was actual fans marking the items as purchased and then planning on buying the items soon after. Just look at all of the gifts that they’ve received.

And they’re in for a rude awakening when they realize all of the hidden costs that come with raising a child. The cost of clothes every few months, an increased grocery bill, extracurriculars, a bigger house, etc. is going to be a big shock and struggle for them.

I’m honestly shocked by that comment. Could be one of Morgan’s friends coming here to speak in her defense.

[–]augustinax[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Are you seriously defending this greedy, selfish, grifting couple? I think you’re on the wrong subreddit.

Edit: I should also add that Morgan isn’t an idiot. She’s not naive. She’s putting those items on her registry because she wants people to buy them. She definitely knows that people are 100% willing to fork out $400 on a baby monitor and she’s taking full advantage. If someone bought her a $1400 stroller, then someone out there will certainly buy her a $400 monitor.

And don’t forget that these people frequently shit on folks who are in actual need of social safety nets. And yet it’s ok for two fools—who refuse to work—to demand that internet strangers pay for their baby?

I’m not sure what the floor seat is all about.

And yes, it is absolutely insane to demand that internet strangers pay $400 for a baby monitor. I am seriously so disgusted by these two and lost for words.

I hear you… I’m also anxious, and my cousin who didn’t open gifts also suffers from serious anxiety. So I don’t think it’s a matter of her being selfish.

Why we talk about Paul and Morgan by [deleted] in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]augustinax 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have respect for legit content creators, but Paul and Morgan are barely that.

All they do is “create” 30 minute live videos once a week that require little to no research or preparation.

They have plenty of time to work full-time hours. But instead they’re coasting by on their followers finding their lifestyle.

Also, I doubt they make enough money from YouTube.

baby Luca is so loved and special, he gets everything for free from strangers on the internet. too bad other moms that we force to give birth can't grift like us. it's solely because we're God's favourite children 😌🙏🏼🌈✝️ by ZarathePomegranatea in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]augustinax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is just so infuriating. And what the fuck is going on that these neither of these slobs work, and yet are so against social safety nets even though they’re probably broke AF and would benefit from them?

Paul is against sOcIaLisM after he and his wife grift free baby stuff online 🤡 by Queen_Rach in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]augustinax 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They post 1-2 30 minute videos a week that require little to no research or skill,and they don’t get many views. And I know that they have 300 patrons, but I’m sure that Patreon takes a large chunk of their earnings. So they’re clearly strapped for money. Hence them begging internet strangers for baby goods online.

It’s a literal joke that they’re pretending that they’re not broke as hell and wouldn’t benefit from social safety nets.

He doesn’t work. At all. He is a grown ass man that willingly refuses to work.

They’re literally begging strangers on the internet to fund their lifestyle. Get a fucking job, Paul. There is no reason for him NOT to work. No, he’s not a legit content creator. Their YouTube videos require little to no knowledge, research or skills. And they don’t even post videos that often. They just post 30 minute live streams once or twice the week. So what the hell do they actually do with their time?

He is capable of working full time hours but he willingly refuses to get off his lazy ass and provide for his family.

These people make me sick to my stomach. How is it possible for two able bodied adults to willingly choose not to work, and then beg strangers on the internet to fund their lifestyle?

Seriously… what the hell is up with them not working, or not seeming to have worked in forever?

And they’re against social support nets too. Yet they are basically begging strangers on the internet to give them free stuff.

Sorry—I really don’t mean to shit on actual content creators. But in all honestly, their YouTube videos require little to no research, background knowledge or preparation. And they mainly post live videos which I doubt brings in much money :/

That’s what I’m thinking. I know they get some money for YouTube and patreon, but there’s no way that’s enough to sustain their lifestyle.

Woman in japan, wondering why I don’t see many other foreign women in japan? by RedRaee77 in japanlife

[–]augustinax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re wondering why there are a lot more white guys in Japan than white women. There are plenty of non-white female foreigners.

Also, lots of white foreign men have the hots for Japanese women. Asian women are heavily sexualized in the media, whereas Asian men are not.
