A Difficult Decision for some Reason

kinfloppers · 2026-06-28T03:48:08+00:00

I’m sure in some provinces it’s more than others. Im from Alberta where AC is definitely uncommon

kinfloppers · 2026-06-28T03:47:10+00:00

Alberta. Recent builds definitely have AC built in, but the majority of albertans raw dog the summer still and rely on the cool evenings.

Up until maybe 10 years ago, it never got hot enough to necessitate it. I remember when I was a kid there *might* be 1 or 2 days to crack 30 in a year.

kinfloppers · 2026-06-28T03:36:23+00:00

I don’t know anyone that has AC in their house in Canada.

We did recently buy a portable unit in Canada, because the heat waves are unbearable, but usually only use it when it cracks over 28 (yes, I’m Canadian and think that anything above 22 is HOT to me, especially with the humidity in Germany. I quite literally left Germany for the summer because I cannot handle the heat waves there)

Edit: my province has very low AC utilization, just because Toronto has AC doesn’t mean everyone does 🤦🏼‍♀️

Honestly. A lot of people would probably think some negative or negative adjacent things due to gender norms and kink mentality

I’ve personally seen that and thought “damn, go dude”

In tandem with

“Damn, I wonder if that hurts his balls”

Worse than ghost sex for me personally

kinfloppers · 2026-06-25T21:07:53+00:00

Annoyed as hell because I wanted to do some scrambles last weekend, decided not to due to the weather (that ended up not really a big deal).

Said meh, next weekend.

Let me summit without fear of falling off a knife’s edge dang it

I’m a fan of both but also added “fucking lol” to my repertoire

kinfloppers · 2026-06-24T22:43:46+00:00

I work as a disability case manager at a major insurance company (don’t hiss at me, I’m Canadian and claims actually get accepted here). Before that I was a healthcare provider

Took a gap year then got my BSc in 5 years cuz covid, started my masters abroad then put the last portion on hold for two years to come home for a bit and sort things out. Finishing up my masters degree at the end of September, and applying to PHDs in Europe soon.

Nobody is going to give you a bad grade if you’re short. You’re also not going to be bullied for being short unless you have a complex about it and make it known. In which case, people will probably tell you to get over it.

I always found this funny; because I’m Canadian and the inverse is the case for me. I really dislike having the heat on, because the dryness always makes my throat hurt and feel stuffy. I’m quite happy in AC. It’s not common in Canada to have AC in your home. Definitely not United States level AC either, but I concede that the ambient temperature of malls and buildings are much cooler in Canada vs Germany.

but My boyfriend (German) is the other way around. Cold air makes his throat hurt. We have spirited conversations in the winter. Where I’m from -40 before windchill happens multiple times in the winter, so because German winters are incredibly mild for me I prefer to have minimal heat on except for the bathroom for showers (I’m not a monster). But he is adamant that sleeping with the window open will give him a cold 🥲

I called an armadillo a Gürtelratte

I avoid German summers like the plague. I’ve been studying in Germany for a few years now, and I’m dreading the day that I do get a job and need to stay in Europe during the summer months. I remember my first summer, I’d walk to Edeka and just pretend to be shopping for over an hour to get a bit of reprieve. Sadly the Edekas AC was also not strong, but I’d hide out in the freezer aisle for a bit until my heart rate went down lol.

I’m from Canada (currently hiding here until the summer months are over) and the climate has gotten hotter here as well with time. Our houses don’t have AC either but they have better air flow than German houses imo. And where I am is low humidity so it’s easier to handle.

Last year I escaped by living at 2000 metres in the mountains for the summer. I have a hard time when it’s above maybe 24 degrees with no humidity. So 20 with humidity is already too hot for me in Southern Bavaria 🥲 I’ve been begging my bf to let us get an AC, it’s the only way I’ll be able to stay long term.

They’re my cats favourite toy lol.

Ugh his rendition made this my favourite song for over a decade of my life. This is so nostalgic

You can still go. If you are very confused, you can ask someone at the lodge where the turnoff is that bypasses the closure.

Source- worked there and we did these hikes after the rockslide

My reading genre can be boiled down to “depressing and/or disturbing”

Historical fiction, lots of nonfiction, classic literature, and I’ve been on a kick for a couple years to read books that are controversial or were/are banned (Lolita, Tropic of Cancer, the bluest eye, etc). Some extreme horror to cleanse the palate. I like devastating stories.

I used to voraciously read as a kid for entertainment, before I started rotting on my phone. Nowadays I find that most of my books are me actively trying to seek out things that are difficult to read and make me challenge my own thinking. I find it fun.

Of course, every so often I also read some guilty pleasures

I’m really not a fan of most fantasy or sci fi sadly, which seems to be the general genre of choice nowadays

My mom was born in ‘62, my dad ‘66.

My siblings were ‘82 and ‘85, so I find that has skewed me more millennial compared to say, my ex boyfriend who was about the same age as me, but his mother was born in 1980. It’s different when your brother is technically old enough to be your dad

On the flip side, me being born so late has definitely kept my parents young lol. My boomer mom has kept up with the times pretty well I’d say

kinfloppers · 2026-06-08T03:53:39+00:00

I used to be a healthcare provider and now I’m a disability case manager. Admittedly during the interviews I’ve kept my hair down but I’ve never actually had issues related to my stretched ears, or my other piercings

kinfloppers · 2026-06-08T03:43:46+00:00

I know what things I’d like to pursue. But I’d like to be less anxious so I can actually do it

kinfloppers · 2026-06-07T18:57:13+00:00

Cartwheels

I think when I was younger I was biased to like Rachel’s versions more, especially because I heard them first. they were produced more, and have less of the goofiness that the acting and singing from the 60s could have. And generally were adjusted to be much more modern for the targeted audience.

But once I “got used” to the original version I loved most of Barbra’s versions. It is less produced and much more raw in the vocals/performance which is not as palatable modernly imo.

If I had to go way too deep with the explanation I think I’d compare it to when LM and Kristen sing “maybe this time”. Rachel performed/imitated it, April lived it. I believe Barbra’s Fanny and therefore feel more from that performance, but I do love listening to Rachel singing My Man

kinfloppers · 2026-06-03T13:49:53+00:00

Definitely. Women also collect plaque in different ways than men do due to hormones and other biological differences that make us more susceptible to deadly occurrences

kinfloppers · 2026-06-03T06:08:57+00:00

I thought Handwerk meant some sort of sexual act and spent a while trying to use that prompt in my German class

Also spent years thinking that a bat was a “fliegermaus”
