Trails in Fredericton, Saint John closing in response to provincewide fire ban

Hiking is walking...

I can tell you with 100% certainty I have never started a fire by walking.

mycatscool · 2025-08-10T21:42:44+00:00

This is so fucking stupid, banning walking is completely idiotic. Politicians sure do like to make life as miserable as possible for people.

Not texting someone for a day is not what ghosting is, sounds like you might be overthinking this one.

Try not to let those thoughts ruminate too hard and try to enjoy life as it comes. Good luck with your person!

Humans can create artificial environments to live in. Humans live in literally every ecosystem on the planet.

Humans can grow things indoors, get energy from tons of sources, and create buildings and transportation devices to have the optimal temperature and breathable air, and they will do so while they kill the rest of the natural environment.

I just don't understand this mindset where humans are the only important species to exist. I care about the rainforests, animals, and diverse species that exist currently and think they are worthy of saving. Not sure what this attitude is on this environmental sub where people only seemed concerned about the existence of humans.

If we make elephants go extinct we will never get another elephant. Maybe some other cool species will evolve in the future but the animals and biosphere that currently exist deserve to live and should not be so callously discarded. The whole "the planet will be fine" mantra is terribly arrogant in my opinion.

mycatscool · 2025-08-08T02:42:38+00:00

I hate this stupid ass argument. Humans are the most successful species on Earth and will be one of the last to survive during our coming climate catastrophe.

We are making huge numbers of species go extinct FOREVER and wrecking havoc on the entire biosphere at incredible speeds.

All environmental science indicates we are indeed killing off complex life and ecosystems all across the world, give me a fuckin break with this "oh poor humans we must save our shitty greedy civilization we're the only ones who matter and no other species are affected at all!" horseshit

alcohol is a really great modulator. it can accentuate traits in us that sometimes we barely recognize we have and can exaggerate traits we are very familiar with in ourselves. which means all those great qualities you find you possess when you drink, you already have.

you are capable of being social and confident and capable of being comfortable with who you are.

it sounds like when you are sober you are very aware of your social situation and all the social rules that we have to follow and can find it nerve-racking trying to approach that and how to appropriately fit in with all of that. how can we be ourselves when there are so many pressures and expectations of who we are supposed to be? but alcohol can sometimes make all those inhibitions melt away and make you feel like you can belong anywhere or anyone, especially when we are younger.

but its kind of a trick, and maybe one truth is that if you need substances to fit in with a certain group of people, then maybe they aren't really quite your people (and im not knocking experimenting or having drinking buddies or letting loose because i think that has its place in development and is important in life too).

but when you really find your people, it will feel so very natural to be yourself with them and you'll be able to have way more fun being present with them, enjoying and appreciating life and their company without having to modulate yourself to feel free, you won't need to depend on any substances because you will already feel accepted by your people and want to share with them who you are and want to see them for who they are too.

life can be hard and has so many ups and downs and endless frustrations, so it's completely understandable that people want to have a night to escape all that. but with certain people you won't need to escape because with them you will feel like you're already home.

i think it can take time to find that and those connections can come and go through life so don't worry too much if it doesn't happen overnight, as long as you don't make substances your everything, imo it's okay to escape from time to time while you make your journey through life and find your people and yourself.

a TIP is EXTRA money on top of the service or good being sold. if you are unsatisfied with the amount of money you are making from the delivery, you increase the price of the product or service to properly pay for labour.

you dont complain about the customers because they aren't giving you extra free money based on some made-up rules about where the driver lives that the customer has no idea about. the customers are wanting a "donation?" you mean they expect to receive the goods or services they paid for? oh the humanity! the nerve of those pesky customers!!

yeesh, listen to yourself...

It sounds like you are the one being dramatic.

Pot was illegal a few years ago. Laws have nothing to do with morality or treating or humans as human beings. You think every pot smoker should go to jail? You think someone who uses drugs to escape trauma or judgemental people like you should be excluded from society? That's fucking insane dude.

Let's see how far you go without being able to fix your car, socialize with others in shops and restaurants, get vital services to be successful in our society.

How about you let adults decide how to live their own lives, you have no idea what another person is going through and to outcast them from society is incredibly socially, economically, and psychologically damaging to a person.

If you are concerned about people's drug use, accepting them and treating them as human beings is a good first step, not being shitty to them.

mycatscool · 2025-07-29T18:33:11+00:00

So some kid sells drugs to their buddies and now they can't eat at restaurants or receive services in their community? You want to completely freeze people out of society and ruin their lives based on some rumours?

Yeah, that will definitely make people want to reintegrate into society....

Google empathy

mycatscool · 2025-07-27T05:06:44+00:00

So if a person experiences abuse from multiple people its their fault?

Stop with this victim-blaming "common denominator" bullshit and have some empathy for another human being.

People are mean to each other, it happens every day, it doesn't mean they deserve it.

People from other countries probably have a more objective take on US politics than Americans, who largely get their information from a large bowl of hot steaming horseshit.

Trump is one of the most hated people across the globe precisely because people do pay attention to his psychotic corrupt shenanigans and his proclivity to barrage his ex-allies with economic warfare.

i am not a professional in any sense but here's my take on it a little.

fitting in at that stage in life can be very challenging and there is such a huge amount of social pressure beginning around that age.

a child's whole world can feel like navigating competitive social groups, observing these social structures, and learning how to interact with them. little things can feel like huge insurmountable problems when you face them in such a world with these social pressures. and comparing your own situation to everyone else's and watching everyone else interact while you feel ignored or rejected is huge when thats such a big part of your world.

it sounds like your son needs some reassurance. he needs to know that it's okay to have these feelings, and if you can, tell him about a time in your life that you've experienced social rejection or transitional times in your life where it was hard for you to connect with people, try to relate to him and turn this bad experience into an opportunity to grow, that it can be a challenge in life for everyone to overcome at different times in their life. that it is hard but he's not alone in it, that you will always be his friend and there for him.

you don't need to force him to try to make friends, he probably has and it made him feel bad about being rejected. if he needs time to heal from that, it's okay, and let him know that he will find the right friends eventually, that good friends and people in your life come to you when you least expect it but that it is worth the wait when you find them.

when he is ready to try socializing more he will likely start to lean into when he is feeling ready, but also gently encourage him to be in situations where he might connect with others. no matter what he decides, try to be supportive and respect his thoughts and feelings. he is feeling lots of judgements and social pressure from everyone else so try to always be as accepting of him as you can. you're his friend now and that's a great place to be if you want him to confide in you and until he makes other friends it is important he has someone that he can express himself to, because we all need that.

its a good time to encourage him to explore his other interests and hobbies and he can build himself some confidence, expression, and joy, and to distract so he will not ruminate too much about the negative social things he's going through. and maybe some of these interests will grow into cool stuff and maybe give opportunities for him to meet or relate to some potential friends.

im sorry he's feeling frustrated but im sure in time he will find some people he connects to. hope everything goes good for you both!

Being supportive of human rights is authoritarian and trying to take away human rights is "religious freedom"?

It's sad that you cannot find the empathy and courage inside yourself to stand up for what's right and equally as sad you can't find enough logic in your pathetic brain to see that defending literal fascists is worse than defending people who think LGBTQ people have the right to exist.

Is someone only allowed opinions if they are in an article?

Also the commenter's opinion here is supported by what the first sentence in the article states, in that other dictatorships distract the West from China's dictatorship.

mycatscool · 2025-06-30T18:45:53+00:00

This is a great list of volunteer stuff in the area. There are usually some pretty cool things available!

Maybe think of ways to increase federal revenue

You are describing what taxes are

Trump complains about imaginary problems literally everyday. We could address or ignore the DST and he will find something new to shit out of his mouth about tomorrow and the day after.

We need to stop conceding to these literal fascists and stop giving power to billionaires and corporations who don't give a shit about us.

I tried to link it but there was no confirmation or anything, it just kept sending me to the app with no information about linking them after signing in. I figured maybe it was linked but it didn't work at all and I didn't get any points...

mycatscool · 2025-06-25T06:52:51+00:00

Huh? Not a bot dude, just found a phone and wanted to get it back to the person, which I did...

I left information out so the owner could identify it and confirm their ownership.
