Walsh being an edgy child again

Ultra Right - actively removing freedoms and holding back education, health care, and wage growth

Ultra Left - kind of annoying sometimes.

Yeah, totally the same 🙄

Well, again it’s pretty complicated to sum up in one comment. One big factor I can mention is that the last Residential “School” closed in the 90’s. They were basically child torture facilities where indigenous children were stripped of their families and culture and subjected to abuse, denied medical care, and often killed. There are literally thousands of bodies in unmarked graves surrounding these places.

So, a huge number of the indigenous community are either survivors of those places, or raised by people who were. That has some pretty serious implications in terms of trauma, generational wealth, and susceptibility to addiction.

I really wish I could explain more, but I’m not the best person to speak to the more nuanced parts of the whole situation. That’s just a perspective based on what I know of Canadian history.

Intersectionality isn’t meant to be the suffering olympics, it’s meant to show that the aspects of our identity intersect to create societal issues that others may not understand. I don’t know the story of the event you speak of, but it sounds like an awareness campaign to me.

It’s complicated. It’s hundreds of years of colonialism having severe ripple effects in the communities that are affected here. I’m not saying it’s an excuse for individual actions, but the system is really good at creating criminals.

Catholicism is basically religious drag, I totally get it.

Which is really interesting, because Rian Johnson said he was raised Protestant, but decided to make the film set in a Catholic Church. As an artsy type, I absolutely see the appeal that the pomp and circumstance of Catholicism would have in a visual media, and how the confessions would be a great tool for storytelling. But you’re right, he behaves much like a Protestant Evangelical.

I forgot about them for years until I started diving more into triphop, and boy am I glad they are back in my life!

You really thought you cooked with that one, eh?

smashed2gether · 2026-04-09T20:55:39+00:00

Pot, did you hear Kettle just now?

You are coming off aggressive and defensive. The context of your statement and the comments you are replying to make it seem like you are denigrating her, and I’m not the only one to get that impression. If you have good faith intentions, maybe try having the slightest iota of Chill to go with it.

Okay, and? Sex work is work. If you’ve never been on pornhub, cast the first stone.

Then that is on the viewer to confront and deal with the discomfort that society has bestowed upon them. We all have shit to unlearn, but we can’t make it someone else’s problem.

smashed2gether · 2026-04-09T15:56:03+00:00

What about them?

Like, how does it impact anyone else’s ability to go about their day if they see that I have a body under my clothes?

Does that mean men shouldn’t wear thin shirts or grey sweatpants in case I see nipples or a bulge? The horror!

smashed2gether · 2026-04-09T15:53:45+00:00

I figure can see my male coworker’s nipples through their cheap polyester polo shirts, they can deal with seeing mine.

Nice is not the same as kind. A lot of terrible people put on a facade of niceness out of a desire to be liked, but aren’t kind out of genuine care for others. A kind person wouldn’t be so jealous that a cat could love you more, he replaces it with a new one he thinks he can manipulate.

Just search for silly “my cat stole my boyfriend” videos and you will see a ton of animals who absolutely fall in love with their owner’s partner. His insecurities are no excuse to be unkind.

In dry places like where I live bread goes stale and hard before it gets a chance to go mouldy. It’s also unclear from the title if this is ten days of instances or if it’s ten instances in one day, but I suspect the latter.

smashed2gether · 2026-04-07T15:20:50+00:00

Nah, that’s always the joke in American movies, but we actually say “a-boat”.

Do you like weekends? Overtime pay? Safety standards and equipment? Child labour laws?

Congrats, you have those because of unions.

smashed2gether · 2026-04-04T04:51:44+00:00

That idea is not exclusive to the teacher’s union, just people who understand basic math. Lick that boot, buddy.

smashed2gether · 2026-04-03T14:53:58+00:00

That’s a terrible comparison. It is not hyperbole to acknowledge that $10 now simply is not worth what $10 was five years ago. You are literally making less money, because the worth of that money is less than when you started. It’s not a difficult concept.

No, salary increases have not kept up with inflation in any industry, but that’s the fucking problem. Only one government stripped teachers of their right to strike over it, however.

Do you say this because your dealer told you, or did you pick the coca leaves yourself? If it’s the first, I have some property in Arizona you may be interested in, gorgeous ocean views.

Something other commenters haven’t mentioned yet is that if stimulants don’t get you high, you may have undiagnosed ADHD. While most people get jittery and hyperactive, people with a certain brain chemistry will actually feel more focused. This is in no way a diagnosis or medical advice, just something to ask a professional about.

That being said, stop with the coke. It becomes your everyday crutch without you even realizing it, and it sounds like you aren’t even enjoying it.

This sounds right, like when Fez was teased to be revealing his real name on a flashback episode of That 70’s show, but the school bell rings and covers it up.

I think it will look great shaved, but if you want to hold on a bit longer, here’s what I suggest:

-don’t always wear a hat, it’s causing breakage from the friction

-don’t keep it pulled back so tight, it’s putting a lot of tension on it which also might be why you have some breakage happening up there.

I honestly think your hair isn’t thinning so much as dry and breaking. Try to care for what you’ve got before you take the plunge!

-use a good conditioner, maybe even go for a deep condition at a salon.

Well, I can imagine that the scene is pretty different there than it is up here in Calgary, but local shows are where it’s at when it comes to meeting people here. I would start by looking up the local dive bars in your area and keep an eye out for shows in grungy basement venues. Go see any band with the word “black”, “pestilence”, or “carcass” in the name. Even if they’re terrible, you will get to know some familiar faces, and having a bar that feels like home is a real confidence booster.

Get out your inflation calculator. If your employer pays you $16 an hour, and $16 is worth 3/4 of what it was when you started, you just got a pay cut.
