Maybe, but at least for now, I still have a bit of hope things won’t get that bad. But who knows

I felt such an ominous sense of dread on wenesday followed by anxiety and anger the last few days. As a Canadian, I am not going to be a direct target or victim, but I am so worried about the cruelty and suffering this will bring on others. The harassment and violence have already started to spread, the amount of people contemplating suicide is heartbreaking. There will undoubtedly be so much damage beyond the USA, be it from foreign policy, idiotic economic shortsightedness, or malicious decisions on environmental policy. I have had to start blocking out news and social media related to the election because it was really affecting me mentally, I feel bad avoiding/embracing ignorance, but I need a break

There are less adults/competent/people with any morals in the room now. Swap John Kelly and some of the slightly more upstanding members of his inner circle for RFK Jr and some of the worst of the worst

Because in the film industry, actors are not the ones responsible when it comes to firearms. There are armourers/props, people, and even assistant directors who are responsible for on set safety, actors and crew trust other departments to do their job correctly and safely. There are so many rules and regulations for how guns are handled on set, on every set I have worked on guns were locked in a safe with the armourer being the only one with the key, they would have to have their eyes on the weapon at all times with no exceptions when it was outdside the safe. You don’t hold an actor responsible if there is a stunt gone wrong or a piece of the set falls down because it isn’t their job unless he was behaving recklessly or outrageously. Although he may hold some culpability due to his role as a producer and the financial stuff, i.e., budget cutting, hiring inexperienced crew, etc. I can’t stand the man myself, but he is not the one who is most responsible for this incident

I love making huge batches of breakfast wraps (scrambled eggs, veggies, cheese in a tortilla) and freezing them in ziplocks for when I am hungry and too lazy to cook

I totally agree with you about YouTube, I am tech stupid, too. I watch it every day on multiple devices, and it’s worth it to pay for it just to make life easier

They are stunning, and we’re the last thing to die last year. Once they get going, they are fantastic. Be sure to pinch the tops off the young plants to get even more growth as well

It was surprisingly easy and pain-free for me, I didn’t do anything special other than dig them up and throw the clumps in a storage bin full of vermiculite in my basement. The only hard part is dividing them because I had no idea what I was doing this year. It would much less work of anyone who lived somewhere warmer, but I am in Alberta, and it’s too cold to overwinter them

I would do my current job for free with people who need it but couldn’t afford it (massage) think seniors, sick, disabled ect. Also, spend time working with animal rescue/shelters in some way

Dahlias, this is my second year growing them, and I have expanded my collection this year with some beauties. I swear they are addictive!

I keep wondering this, too. I am sure it doesn’t help that those on the far right seem to demonize mental health help and showing weekness/needing any help. Besides the general crazy conspiracies and tendency to blame the government/others for what they see as wrong in society

RhinoShield has been all I will ever order for the last, maybe 10 years or at least as long as I can remember. Dropped numerous times on cement or other floors with no issues

Try to limit how much news/social media I consume, especially the really dark stuff. Then I spend a lot of time finding good things that I love watching (cute animals, reno videos ect). It’s a lot of self-preservation because a ton of news is super depressing and rage inducing, keeping a balance between not being totally ignorant but not wanting to ruin my mental health is key

Please go back to whatever alternate dimension you came from. Or maybe a hospital for medical treatment of your delusions

If you are really interested, Cecelia Blomdhal (spelling may be slightly off) is a youtuber who lives there and shares all kinds of interesting stuff and gorgeous scenery. You can visit without having to brave the cold and polar bears that way

I follow a youtuber who lives there, and Svalbard is really pricey. Food and anything else consumer goods wise as anything has to be flown in or paid to ship via freight ship. Also, housing is extremely limited, and it’s hard to find without a job already secured, which may or may not be easy to get depending on who is looking

Greedy pigs, they can’t help themselves anymore. I swear it went up 20 or 30% in the last year or two, and now this. Does anyone have recommendations on where to find stuff if you are tech stupid with no computer (only a Roku TV and android phone)?

A few too many sadly, the people following the self proclaimed queen of canada and her followers are a crazy bunch. Although they may be a bit closer to Q cultists with a sprinkle of sovereign craziness

Yeah, it’s a bit bleak at the end for sure. But I just loved how catchy the songs were, and the cast was really great. I didn’t know anything before randomly playing it on Netflix, so that didn’t give me any expectations going in
