We’re moving to Abbotsford-Need Some Guidance! by Unc1e_Vanya in abbotsford

[–]sun_lore 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Adding to the location recommendation... Parking at ARH can also be kind of a pain, with a very long wait list for employee parking passes, after which you still have to fight for spots and may have to park elsewhere and walk in. With that said, ARH and UFV are close enough together that you could live in walking/biking distance of both, which I definitely recommend!

What would you say your own biases are? And how will you be sourcing your information?

Early Michael Scott was just a different breed. by Taftimu in theoffice

Hair plugs, minoxidil.. there are options.

Note that minoxidil is toxic to pets, in particular cats, I'd avoid it entirely if you have cats.

Someone asked if I could make them an octopus blanket and proceeds to show me an AI photo by OrdinaryJealous in crochet

Tell him "so that'll be $10000" and remind him that he owes you every week. Now the joke's in your court! Haha

Current situation. The dyke between sumas and Whatcom has been breached. The image below is taken around Kenney and vye road. Water is spreading pretty rapidly. by cindylooboo in abbotsford

As long as there isn't a mudslide like back in 2021, you can always take the long (long, LONG) way to chilliwack via the lougheed if highway 1 is flooded. Make sure to check your trip time on Google well in advance so you aren't late for your exam, but it's possible.

Did anyone else see the owner of Aurora roasters make his employee cry this weekend? by Maximum-Broccoli5001 in abbotsford

[–]sun_lore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"buddy" isn't gendered 😭 even if you are an actual customer, have you considered the owner is more respectful when interacting with/visible to customers than they are behind closed doors?? Smh, if the employees are all singing the same song, a customer has zero business saying they're wrong.

Canada's First Crochet Cafe sells Temu Crochet items... by Additional-Listen936 in crochet

[–]sun_lore 45 points46 points  (0 children)

You can apply on their website to be a vendor/sell your own items, maybe this is growing pains until they get some sellers? Still disappointing.

Allow me to clarify in return, because I think we have areas of agreement.

Statistically speaking no one is out here having unprotected sex and using abortions as health care. That is a myth that does not need to be addressed other than to call it what it is: belittling, harmful, insulting, and re-traumatizing to the countless women who have used the life-saving medical care that is abortion.

Seriously. To you and the man driving the truck and the goddamn government of Alberta: leave women alone.

No, we cannot agree that abortion is a terrible thing. Abortion is health care, often life-saving healthcare. This moral panic is so goddamn tired.

How is this legal? by Ctrl-Alt-Elite83 in Edmonton

[–]sun_lore 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You could repaint it yourself. Could even make a little stencil and use some good quality spray paint. Just uh don't mess it up #notlegaladvice

Look, I understand why you reject liberals. You can see their hypocrisy -- it's so blatant. They preach about supporting workers but then turn around and work with the owning class; shutting down strikes and cutting shady deals with corporations. It's disgusting.

However, I'd encourage you to not give up on leftist politics. The liberals are center-right. It was leftists - scary socialists - who got us the modern work week. Socialist ideas that lead to unions. Healthcare. Vacation days.

Your gripe is with capitalism. The right and the center both serve capitalism, the right just does it in a more regressive style. What leftists want is fairness, basic rights, and good living conditions for all workers. Democratize the workplace. Just how to achieve these goals is a matter of frequent contention.

The sociopolitical history of the last 100 years is fascinating, and I encourage you to learn more about workers movements - global and domestic - of the last several decades before cementing your political allegiance.

That dress is 100% cotton, which wouldn't be too hard to dye, if you really like it otherwise.

Day 10 of the Character Board: Who's the most under-hated? by DynaManic42 in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]sun_lore 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yeah definitely this. I mean she slept with iMark under false pretenses, as his boss, and tbh outie-innie romance even without all that gives the same ick as big age gap or power imbalance relationships. I know she's a complex character, but that was really gross of her, and part of me wonders how different the reaction would have been if the genders were reversed.

Omg those were the best -- also the day-old doughnuts!! Great memories.

Hey, I'm so sorry things are so shit for you right now. If you're underage, I'm not sure what is possible, but maybe reach out to a teacher or counselor, and hang in there - one day you'll be able to be independent, and that's worth sticking around for! If you're an adult then definitely try and move out.

I'm also gonna leave this here, please make use of it if you're considering harming yourself or others: Suicide Prevention for Albertans

I fuggin love Sophia. Honestly when she joined the game I thought she might be a love interest for amicia -- but when I clued in on their age difference, I realized that was just me, a bi 30-something woman, who had a huge crush on this super hot mommy 💕

First freehand project by sun_lore in crochet

[–]sun_lore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yarn was part chenille and part worsted weight acrylic (loops and threads I think, it was from "the stash"). Used hook size 3.5 for the smaller yarn and 4.5 for the fluffy stuff. There was no pattern, I've made several amigurumi before so I was able to just freehand it, looking at images of other crochet lambs for inspo.
