Now they have both.

When I still shopped there, it wasn’t uncommon to see people bump into those railings. This one lady tried to go through the same piece of railing four or five times before she realized that it was there lol.

I mean, there is a chance that somewhere along the way someone was sneaky, so 🤷‍♀️

I might or might not be. I was tested as a child, but my parents were told that I had ADHD. They could have been wrong, though. I’ll keep my mind open and maybe get checked out again at some point though.

I would agree with you about the small talk thing, but I could also argue that some people just suck at small talk. ADHD, trauma, behavioural diagnosis, etc could all be a cause. I would also argue that most people would pick up on someone avoiding a topic. If I get one worded answers, I’ll usually move on to the next thing or I’ll let that person be. I won’t usually keep asking someone the same question in different ways if I don’t get an answer the first couple of times haha.

What IS a real Canadian, though? I know some immigrants who love this country much more than some of the people who were born here.

Many of us are also only here from our ancestors immigrating. How far down the line does one have to be to be a real Canadian? You can’t judge that by DNA, either.

I’m happy that they had those, and you raised a good point about underlying conditions

This was tragic and was likely very easily avoidable.

It’s cold for nearly half of the damn year. We’re in Canada for crying out loud, winter isn’t a new concept. It’s inhumane and cruel to expect people to suddenly stand outside in these elements for a long period of time.

I recently quit a job at a factory for a very popular “family” food company. There was a small fire last winter. We all passed by our locker room on the way out, but they INSISTED that NO ONE should grab their coat or sweater, despite the small fire being a very long distance away.

They adamantly refused to get anyone emergency blankets, and we were also not allowed to wait in our cars. We could not leave the property either, even after the head count. I was finally allowed to leave to go home around 3pm, but I had cold chills until nearly 9pm. Our health and safety department was pushing for some kind of heating protocol for a very long time, but management always talked over them.

This feels very eerie to read. This could have easily been me or any of my previous coworkers.

We need more worker protections and safety protocols. This was a person who will never be able to say goodbye to their friend and family. They had hopes and dreams. Their life had value. They even had a small child and a partner. How incredibly tragic and unnecessary.

I think beyond that, it’s mostly from Europe but I’m not certain

I should do this.

Now I want to do this lol

Mainly Canada, with two from Britan and France

Thank you, I might try that if it comes up again

I think I look pretty white, tbh

Then if do you click the link, the article has almost nothing to do with the title. No confirmations, no details, just random claims from someone who you’ve never heard of before.

On google, I started seeing too many of the first results tagged as “ad”. It became even more concerning when those tag dissapeared but the same websites showed up.

I used to able to trouble shoot nearly anything I needed to, but now I come across completely unrelated posts more than I come across solutions.

I was iffy about bing, I still kind of am, but at least I find what I’m looking for most of the time. I’m personally going to wait a bit before trying out other browsers, when there’s a bit less risk of them selling. I remember a good android launcher that used to be trusted before they sold to another company

Burning natural gases from the ground has backfired before:

It didn’t happen to save the environment, but there was too much natural gas stored to burn off.

It could backfire if it’s anything like what happened in Turkmenistan.

Apparently it’s been burning since the 80’s
