Workday wellness check
  • Yeah my first thought seeing this was "oh that person is gonna get killed if they send the cops". Glad you had some smarts there. There have been multiple indigenous people killed in wellness checks in Canada as well in recent weeks.

  • What are the best fictional books you’ve ever read?
  • A book that stuck with me for a long time was The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. It was a fairly quick read too, I'm a slow reader so definitely longer than a day but I think I read it over a short vacation.

  • Destination rule
  • Am I the only one that was also traumatized by the person that slips on the toilet water and dies? Like what a stupid fucking way to die but there I was terrified of flushing the toilet.

  • Canadian police chiefs claim that officers are being ‘doxxed’ by ‘thug’ activists at protests
  • Also the fact that they kicked the indigenous reporter out, not just anti immigrant just good old fashioned racist. When we should be protesting also because cops have recently killed 6 indigenous people in the span of two weeks across Canada.

    ACAB.

    Also, if anyone is in BC, make sure you VOTE next month. The conservative leader is promising to give more funding to cops while taking away from "unnecessary government spending" (read: social programs).

    *editing to correct my previous statement: they've killed 9 indigenous people since August 29

  • If tomorrow it was announced that aliens were real, highly intelligent, and in communication with our governments, no one would be talking about it by Halloween
  • Ok I know you have the s but I'm legitimately so confused. Last month people were actually talking about how scientists said that it's likely aliens have been living among us for a long time. And didn't the white house make some big alien announcement a while back??

    Am I losing it or is this whole thread just a big joke on how those announcements went nowhere

  • What is some good news you've received lately? Share your happiness!
  • It's a small win but after months of agonizing over my contract end date and a million rejected job applications, I got extended for another few months. Honestly just a huge weight off my shoulders as I desperately needed a break from the job search and was only a couple weeks away from the end date. Plus, it's looking likely they'll be able to make my position permanent by the end of this extension 🤞🏽

  • Where do the rural homeless near you live?
  • I live in a suburban more than totally rural area but we have lots of trails and bushy areas around. Usually they just set up tents on the side of those trails. Walked past a guy who had an entire cot set up and was just napping on the side of a trail midday the other day. The benches in our area are also less anti-homeless than the ones downtown so I don't doubt people sleep there at night.

    I saw a video of one guy (who isn't homeless but does urban camping on YouTube) set up camp in the middle of a roundabout with lots of bushes and I think that's honestly probably one of the best spots where people wouldn't find you/call cops on you.

  • Siri: "I am fluent in over 6 million forms of communication"
  • My brain somehow didn't grasp that I had never heard of a Homepod before, then when I saw your comment I had to think back and was like "wait a second, Siri? That's not google or Alexa" and I had to reread to understand.

    Anyway all to say, I'm tired and not reading well but their advertising must be pretty shit if this is the first ad I've ever seen for it.

  • people with kids who have their shit together at work
  • I had been doing this also, but it is wrlng. My physio told me you're meant to be eye level with the TOP of the monitor not the middle, such that your neck is straight but your eyes are fixed slightly down.

    Both images in the graphic are wrong.

  • Have you guys used over the counter teeth whitening treatments?
  • I had a really bad coffee stain on my front teeth. Had tried the crest ones for a while but they weren't helping. My hygienist did some treatment and told me it'll probably come back because of the texture of my teeth, but told me to use the crest ones a few days ahead of a special event if I wanted a touchup. Stain came back.

    Went to the dentist for an unrelated issue and my dentist noticed the stain, literally filed down my tooth in like 2 seconds and for free, and the stain has never come back again, lol.

  • What's your favorite and best Content to fall asleep to?
  • When not in the mood for talking, singing bowls for sure.

    When my brain can't stop and I need a distraction, either the sleep with me podcast or welcome to nightvale. Sometimes Sleep Whispers but that one can be over stimulating for my lil ASMR brain.
