  • Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds?

    Jump

  • That really depends on what country you live in. The US doesn't require sick leave AFAIK and Canada only requires 5 days. So that's like 300 days where you have to choose between getting better or paying rent. More socially progressive countries get paid sick leave, not everyone.

  • Watching DEAD LIKE ME and in Season 2 Ep 4 they line Donald Trump up in a perp walk with KNOWN DICTATORS! Unreal!

  • This might be the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me lol

  • Freaking love this show and I've been trying to get my kids to watch it but they're lame lol.

  • Were you "popular" in school?

    Jump

  • I made a friend, she was like a sister to me for 12 years. Our families lived together for almost a decade, I was a surrogate for her, we were family. Earlier this year she went on a racist tirade and when I wasn't ok with it she stopped talking to me. Now I'm scared to try making friends again.

    The friend I kept from high school may be distant now, but at least she's consistent and out expectations of each other are equal: don't be an asshole, see you next year.

    Jump

  • I was bullied at every school I went to. Growing up an undiagnosed autistic girl was not easy. I managed to make a few friends when I got to a bigger school because we were all outcasts together, but that wasn't until I was 16 and almost done school. Even after I stood up to my bully when I was 15 I still got tortured at the small town school before that.

    TBH I still don't know how to make friends today and my only friend is one of the ones I managed to dupe into liking me when I was 16 lol

  • How wil people react if Trump is right about Tariffs?

    Jump

  • Most people who aren't right-wing nut jobs know how to admit when they're wrong about something and how to be happy for something that actually is a positive for the majority of people who aren't already rich, regardless of how that result was achieved.

    Tariffs are normal, they encourage a strong local economy that doesn't get screwed over by a dominant economy that decides to use the trade relationship against the local economy, but they haven't been "aggressive" since the last time they were used as an act of war and ended up causing a depression.

  • Do you have any tattoos, piercings, or scars that you regret?

    Jump

  • All my tattoos, they are cheap and one contains my kid's deadname so I keep it covered is much as possible.

  • Coffee Sock in the Dripper for the Weekend Win

  • Have you tried rinsing the cloth with vinegar?

  • I'm eating a Nanaimo bar with coffee for breakfast, and have eggs for supper regularly.

    Do whatever makes you happy and (hopefully) healthy.

  • "I'm socially liberal but fiscally conservative" - What do you think when you hear that?

    Jump

  • They don't want to pay money for social spending they don't realize they benefit from while wearing the costume of an ally.

  • Is this a thing 🤨

    Jump

  • Sorry I didn't mean you specifically. It was a general 'you'

  • Is this a thing 🤨

    Jump

  • I hope it's not a thing, that's nasty. If you believe going barefoot is detoxifying I can kinda understand, like you do you, but on city streets? 🤢

    Even if that's how detoxifying actually worked, you'd still be doing the opposite on a sidewalk.

  • Where are the good political songs?

    Jump

  • The Offspring. Americana, Stuff is Messed up, the Kids Aren't Alright...

  • I am 50 years old and I'm about to try Taco Bell for the first time. What should I try first?

    Jump

  • You should avoid Taco Bell...

  • How are you all making it right now with grocery store prices?

    Jump

  • I put lentils in my vegetarian chili. Do chilli however you like - I prefer a bean blend over straight kidney beans- and just boil a pot of lentils and use them in place of the ground beef if your doing a quick chili. I would think you wouldn't want them pre cooked if you're doing a slow cook chili.

  • Any good YouTube recommendations?

    Jump

  • Sorry I was joking. It didn't land.

  • Any good YouTube recommendations?

    Jump

  • There are plenty of self improvement videos.

  • Do Italian kids pronounce spaghetti like bisgetti or buhsgetti the way Americans do?

    Jump

  • They are asking because kids are kids no matter where you live. If we use the same word for the dish as Italians, it stands to reason that children who are still learning would have the same issue regardless of location.

  • What are some problems that countries outside the U.S. are dealing with?

    Jump

  • In Canada we are dealing with a housing crisis, a healthcare crisis, and a climate crisis (we still have wildfires burning in January) on top of alt-righters trying to reverse all progress that we've made.

    So very similar to America- not quite as dramatic. Though Albertabama has been quiet for a while so I expect the Premier to do something stupid soon.
