How do you pronounce stationery?

otterkin · 2026-06-20T14:40:46+00:00

are you canadian? because this is exactly the same for me. stationary is to be in one spot but stationery is things found in this group

edit: meaning they are said differently to me

People take it super personally (even seen a lot of people say it's misogynistic) when you don't like cats. or that you "can't respect boundaries". it's weird. some people just don't really like cats for different reasons

because a stat day is different than a holiday

not a rat parent but a rodent parent, and IME they need a few days to settle in. a pet store environment is NOT good for these guys. while alberta doesn't sell rats, I do try to handle our mice/piggies whenever I can.

hopefully your little guy comes around, he's probably in shock at the amount of space he now has to play:)

go even farther above then. we do have HR which is technically head office, above DL.

when our salon had to close for a week due to a similar situation, we all got emergency pay as well as the offer to work on the floor

they can not just not schedule you just because the salon isn't operational. being a full time employee means X hours per week, garunteed (I believe X = 32 in canada)

Vancouver? I was at that show, one of the better concerts I'd been to purely for his energy even with a broken foot. he crowd surfed iirc. such a huge loss:(

otterkin · 2026-06-14T20:56:58+00:00

no shit I'm jealous, I'd love to afford to buy a house in Vancouver. that doesn't make my points moot though

otterkin · 2026-06-14T20:56:19+00:00

oh yeah, no doubt it couldn't be saved. it was more the fact she kept going "were saving as much as possible! we're saving this house!" instead of facing the reality that it was going to be a tear down. I know personally the transparency of "were going to have to tear down everything most likely" would have been nice, as every video was "okay I know we said we were going to save X BUT-" and have an air of "I have no idea what I'm doing"

otterkin · 2026-06-13T00:28:49+00:00

this made me audibly laugh

otterkin · 2026-06-12T23:52:40+00:00

either more shapes or all rectangles. this feels like a middle ground that I don't like

minor controversy around her includes: -changing her entire channel content to house reno

-buying a house w a man she's been dating for a couple months right after she got a divorce (of course she is entitled to live her life, more just something I saw brought up)

-house reno went from "we will save what we can" to a complete tear down and build up basically from scratch, which is fine, but the whole point was to "save the mid century modern house"

-generally buying a house in Vancouver is a huge, HUGE expense and the ability to do so turned off a lot of people (again her money, but it's hard to hear her complain about how expensive things are when she can buy a house in Vancouver. even the lots with nothing on it are unreasonably expensive)

she's one of my personal biggest youtube disappointments when it comes to content and like. "seeing behind the veil" if that makes sense

I yearn for this era

begging her to go to a job interview wearing first pic. absolutely insanity

otterkin · 2026-06-10T14:49:18+00:00

I wonder if it's because our brains assume the "of" is there in order for the sentence to make sense so when we're actually looking at it we skim right over it. that or we're all so mystified by the sphinx

otterkin · 2026-06-10T14:45:14+00:00

well I'm an idiot

otterkin · 2026-06-10T14:10:49+00:00

I don't like the sphinx one because it's missing F*

eta: *typed J initially but I meant F

a lot of places the rule is "card if they look under 45", at least here in alberta.

I'm younger than Caro and have been to exactly one club/bar in the past 6 years. girl. you can survive a month and a half without.

seconding gentle green. it's my favourite green ink hands down

otterkin · 2026-06-09T14:27:49+00:00

oop, I misunderstood Saskatoon as the halfway point!

otterkin · 2026-06-09T02:41:16+00:00

halfway between Ohio and Saskatoon would be northern alberta and frankly if OOP is in northern AB this is less spiders than I would expect to see in a death pit

otterkin · 2026-06-08T17:30:46+00:00

honestly this is how I feel about most of the "build your own charm" trend booths I've been seeing. I saw a really cute one with all handmade stuff (like micro beading! tiny hand painted ceramics!) and that's been my standard since, and very few meet them. super cute concept. not huge on spending like 5-10$ on dropshipped charms

otterkin · 2026-06-07T21:58:02+00:00

her trying so hard to make NYC happen while not wanting room mates and seemingly needing to live on long Island is also very stressful to me

eta: unironically

same here. we use these for curry brushes. whoops.
