The opposition parties don’t have real leaders. Ford won because everyone else was so weak. They had zero personality, zero charisma and zero ability to unite voters.

Not my current phone but the iPhone 11 was the worst phones I’ve ever had. I upgraded from an iPhone 6 and the 11 was shockingly worse

I’m now on a 12 which works as intended. Hope to some day be able to afford a Pro version… after I win the lotto 🥲

Saving this post for later. I’m terrible at maintaining friendships. I’m actually quite friendly and social. But I find myself with no friends because I can’t maintain a connection. Life and work and family pull me away and then suddenly it’s been a year since I’ve heard from them.

Love my therapist and love going to therapy. They continue to challenge me and force me to look at situations and relationships differently. They offer exercises and creative challenges so therapy continues to be an active process.

I’m a long way from being ‘cured’ but so far away from the terrible person I once was when I first started therapy.

I’m not good at video games. I love playing them but can’t play anything past the easiest levels or beginner settings. Getting destroyed and trashed talked online by 12 year olds is embarrassing 😂

Is it normal? Yes. Is it healthy? No. I wish I spent my younger years focused on building myself rather than worrying about things out of my control.

Find yourself. Find what motivates you and makes you happy. Learn to be happy on your own. Learn to be confident without the validation from others. As you go through that journey, you’ll run into similar like-minded people and maybe some that you’re actually attracted to (lol)

It’ll happen when you least expect it when you’re focused on other priorities. Hope this helps.

Ford is getting high on his brother’s crack stash again. He pulls this ‘for the people’ act to gain public support. Then once he’s sitting pretty he’ll start doing the bidding for his wealthy friends for kickbacks.

Don’t believe the hype. Ford killed millions of people during Covid. He slashed healthcare and public education and environmental protections while his friends got richer

The problem is Canada needs America to be strong. We are stronger together. So the idea of “taking down America” isn’t smart.

The entire world benefits from a strong America.

What it doesn’t benefit from is a wannabe dictator sociopath rapist who doesn’t play by international rules.

As a driver, I used to be a bike lane hater. But then I moved to the suburbs. They benefit both the driver and the cyclist. They keep everyone safe and help traffic move along.

The worst is when a bus or large truck has to suddenly switch lanes to avoid a cyclist sharing the road. That greatly slows down traffic and creates an unsafe environment.

We don’t get many cyclists out here but we have bike lanes now and I think that’s best for everyone except Doug Ford and his cronies 🙃

I dropped $35 on action figures 🤓. I’m trying to cut back tho!

Processing the death of your parents and how that changes a person. And/or watching your parents cognitive abilities decline.

I wasn’t raised in a loving caring home. So it was incredibly alien to care for my parents as they got older. Helping them get dressed, taking them to appointments. Having tough conversations with them about their end-of-life wishes.

Not a topping but mustard as a dipping sauce for my pizza crust. I’m not a crust person. But dipping dry crunchy crust into mustard almost feels like eating a pretzel.

Tastes great with pepperoni too.

I worked retail all my life. I was so embarrassed. I swore that once I get “a real job” (read: Corporate) I would love it and it would be so much more respected.

Been working Corporate for 20yrs now and I hate it. Soul sucking, dream crushing, energy draining. At least with retail I’d get a little discount. Now all I get is an occasional pizza party 😭😭😭

“Why you gotta be so ruuuuude?” Ugh

Born in 1980, I felt too young to relate with GenX but too old to relate to GenZ. I feel ‘seen’ by Xennials.

There’s also a connection to immigration in the 70s, 80s & 90s which I don’t think gets talked about enough.

You can’t rationalize with crazy. You gotta beat crazy with crazy.

I bop to Kidz Bop.

Ontario Liberals and NDP propped up Wynne (incumbent), Del Duca, Horwath, Stiles and Crombie against Ford and overwhelmingly lost. It’s incredible to me how Ontario can’t find a strong, charismatic, left-leaning leader that can beat Ford in a popularity contest.

The question was “What type of stuff are you buying off Aliexpress?”

I started responding with “toys, cleaning supplies, phone cases, etc.” And then I noticed I was responding to a post on ** Aliexpress@programming.dev**

So I felt like my response wouldn’t be as helpful or would be off-topic because I was responding on the programming.dev instance.

Right? That makes sense right? LOL
