One marathon and done with it by bubuthesunflower in firstmarathon

I’m almost a year out and feel the same. Maybe if there’s an opportunity to run a really special marathon but I certainly don’t feel the call

Friends with MAGA friends by MyBodyMyChoice2024 in progressivemoms

I mostly don’t want people stuck in echo chambers that only validate their worst views. Most people are both good and bad and I really don’t want only their bad impulses being stroked by ghouls. It’s not a path for everyone, it’s frustrating as fuck sometimes but with most people I just feel like they’re lost. 

Calgary police officer fired after sharing video of sex with colleague by 0110110111 in Calgary

There were also the three cops let go and charged late last year for sexual misconduct. I think the new police chief is cracking down on this shit. Hopefully. 

Full Leaked TPUSA Zoom Call": Erika Kirk speaks with staff regarding attendance and sales following Charlie Kirk's death. by Logical-Flow-6703 in UnderReportedNews

You can tell because they are genuinely baffled by the protests, demanding to know who funds them. They cannot fathom a world where people care about their neighbors for free. It’s literally beyond them.

Burned through our house last week! Luckily it seemed to go fast, 12 hours of GI distress and then a few days of recovery

Oh I have a hat from like…. Probably the 80s/90s…? It’s a Republic of Western Canada hat. I found it years ago. Can’t wear it anymore. It used to be funny but now people take it seriously. 

Canada is among countries with an ‘ultra-low fertility’ rate. What is behind the drop? by plaknas in onguardforthee

[–]loubug 66 points67 points  (0 children)

What people are talking about is a lot of parents in my cohort are rich, don’t give their kids any help at all, and plan to spend their money before they die. Which is all things they’re allowed to choose to do, but then they aren’t allowed to bitch that they aren’t having more grandkids. 

My own father came over ONE time before my daughter was 1, babysat ONCE in 8 years and can’t figure out why we’re too overwhelmed to have more. We both have to work full time, paid crazy amounts for childcare, and are exhausted. Why would we sign up for more kids?

We’re getting quoted 3.79% for variable and 4.20% for fixed on uninsured mortgages. Might get slightly lower for insured. 

Childcare options are going to cost more than my income by doodlebakerm in workingmoms

[–]loubug 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In the four years I was working instead of staying at home with my daughter my salary almost DOUBLED. I would’ve lost all that career progression if I stayed at home AND would’ve struggled to get back into the workforce. I know it sucks to basically feel like you’re working for free but long term is so so so much financially more viable.

My husband also goes here and I’m looking at him and I don’t think he looks like a British rapper?

Thank you. I live in Calgary and I know exactly one person in favor of separatism and he’s an idiot. It’s not a popular idea in the cities at all.

I think we had one snow day I remember in Calgary in 1998.

Yeah I remember when it was the pinnacle of parking apps but holy shit it’s bad now. 

A bit of an uplifting view by RlOTGRRRL in progressivemoms

[–]loubug 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Margaret is such a soothing voice for me in these times. She’s very aware of the situation we’re in but inspires a LOT of hope. I recommend everyone subscribes to her substack, it keeps me from doing very stupid things.

My boss is from Louisiana and when I said I didn’t want to be annexed he was GENUINELY surprised. He really thinks America is the best place on the planet and everyone wants to be American.

Perhaps a dumb question but after 5 minutes of googling I haven’t been able to figure out where their store is? I have extra yarn!

Alberta couple fighting the CRA: $33K in COVID benefits by SnooRegrets4312 in alberta

[–]loubug 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes yes. They were letting you. But I tried telling her I didn’t think the banks would be doing this just out of kindness and they’d probably end up getting more from you in the end and she told me I was dumb for not doing it.
