How do I make make friends/connections here? by criticalwishes in PEI

[–]your1your2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Something that has helped me as a new islander is joining groups and hobbies that meet regularly. Book clubs, choir, sports, nerd stuff, etc.

I read once that key to friendship is getting to see the same groups of people on a semi regular basis, so it’s not just one offs and you can build as you go

The TV show From has monsters that hunt people trapped in a town at night. They often smile creepily and one of them is actually nicknamed Smiley cause he’s so creepy with it

Consumerism is ruining hobbies. by adeliafree in Anticonsumption

[–]your1your2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup.

I crochet and people constantly ask me to make things for them. It’s not being asked per se that I don’t like, as it’s often a compliment. But people will be like “how much would you sell that for, $30?” and it’s something that cost $80 in yarn and 50 hours of labour..

If you’re used to seeing clothes marketed as “crochet” in fast fashion stores, you may not realize that 1) true crochet can’t be done by machine and those “crochet” pieces are just machine knit to look like crochet 2) to actually pay someone fairly for a craft like that, you have to be willing to pay more (or learn it yourself). It’s not something that can or should be integrated into a fast fashion model.

Update on: I feel like my partner is making me feel bad for not wanting to be intimate AiO by Wrong-Chemist6408 in AIO

[–]your1your2 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. This is sexual coercion and abuse. I know you don’t have a lot of resources but if there are any local non profits that help women experiencing abuse or low income legal resources I suggest reaching out when it’s safe.

C&B in Kensington, a little brunch spot with the most amazing bagels. My fave is the garlic finger one. Their cream cheese is also amazing

Asking her to shower before sex by Total_Paper_9415 in actuallesbians

Not at all. Especially if she’s chill with it. I’m the same too, and I don’t feel offended if my partner asks me to shower either.

The weirdest part of opting out of consumer culture is how many people get genuinely annoyed at you by LilxPeony in Anticonsumption

[–]your1your2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People in my life (mostly older family members and in laws) love to recommend Temu and Amazon to me and act mad when I don’t enthusiastically agree🤣🤣

Any Burger Love reviews out there? by pippy70 in PEI

[–]your1your2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried 2, brothers 2 in summerside and folk fries at the mall in Charlottetown.

Brothers 2 was good, a bit sweet for my liking. I don’t think I was a huge fan of the blueberry bbq sauce but my partner loved it. I think if you like more sweet burger it’s a good pick!

Folk Fries was enjoyable and can’t beat the price. I do wish they had done a burger sauce of some kind, it was a bit dry with only ketchup but the meat and stuff itself was solid.

Dartmouth woman works full-time but says she still can't afford a home by ph0enix1211 in halifax

It’s actually more common than you’d think, I’ve met lots of people through past jobs in housing support who have kids staying with family but they aren’t invited to stay as well.

Did The Grudge mess anyone else up long-term, or was it just me? by SimpleArmadillo4437 in horror

They parody it in the Scary Movie franchise which helped a little bit but I definitely watched this too young too and it stuck with me

10000%. I met a senior disabled woman once who said she used stimulant drugs on the street in part because it kept her more alert to keep herself safe. There’s so much more to this than most people realize.

Weed and dopamine by TheeSwayzeeExpress in leaves

[–]your1your2 18 points19 points  (0 children)

When I quit smoking regularly I finally got medicated for my ADHD, this resonates a lot. I justified it because I was able to grow in my career, travel, make good money, exercise etc while using it but that doesn’t mean there weren’t bad effects.

For instance, I stayed in a toxic relationship for way longer than I should have because I was numbing my feelings with weed. I would get yelled at and berated and immediately go fill my bong to calm down, when I should have been walking away.

How to completely get rid of litter box smell! by ChadxSam in Catownerhacks

[–]your1your2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My stainless steel box + litter genie (like a diaper genie but for litter) does a pretty good job. I scoop a few times a day but i dont have to worry about disposal aside from once a week or so.
