What I'm hearing is that I need to get a bunny for my cat

The actual response to that should be 'okay, then let's force those companies to pay better and improve working solutions for everyone including immigrants'.

But yeah you're not gonna convince racists.

Yesss I hate when people get a bad taste for unions just because they have a shitty steward. It can make such a huge difference to feel like someone is on your side in those types of situations. While I understand that sometimes as stewards our hands are tied, it costs nothing to empathize with another human and help them feel heard.

I had a similar thought of like a score of how much they like themselves.

Seems pretty invasive but I think it would be a reminder to be patient and kind.

It's not awkward to ask, I appreciate it when people do. I use any of them so it's awkward to respond, but it's nice that people care hahah.

Hi Taurus, I hope your birthday went well. I'm sorry that it seems I missed it.

I can't tell if that would end up depressing the crap out of me or making me feel better about the world. My pessimistic brain tells me there are far more un-empathic people in the world than I'd like to acknowledge.

This thread is strangely validating tbh. I'm ace and not sex repulsed, but people really out here being horny multiple times a day? Could never be me.

Stop drinking beer.

If you're serious and your doctor thinks it's fine (and you have some extra money) you can go on a glp-1 but even then a doctor wouldn't recommend more than 2 lbs / week. I know people that have lost 10-15 lbs in the first few weeks so I'm sure it's not out of the question. There are healthier ways to lose weight though.

Hey I once had an airline worker change and upgrade my flight completely free of charge because I (tearfully) told her I forgot my wallet more than 5 hrs away, had missed my flight, inadvertently gotten my credit card cancelled, and had no way to charge my phone to call for help or get back home.

People are good sometimes.

My Philips electric toothbrush finally died last night and I'm looking for a replacement.

I found a brand called vearthy that sells a bamboo electric toothbrush that is supposedly compatible with Philips heads, which is great because my partner still uses that one and we have a ton of compatible heads. However, I can't really find any reliable reviews for it.

Has anyone ever purchased vearthy or have any other recommendations for a good electric toothbrush that's Canadian, or at the very least not American? (Bonus if I can purchase it from somewhere that's not one of the big grocers)

Thanks!

Edit: in case anyone runs into this post later. I ended up buying the vearthy toothbrush. It's very lightweight and works well so far. Has multiple settings which I wasn't expecting. I did not like the toothbrush heads it came with (they are very soft and a little small for my taste) but since its compatible with Philips I just swapped it for one of the other heads I had. Overall pretty good purchase I think.

 

When I go to people's houses, their toilet paper area never seems to have as much of that goddamn dust all over the place. Is it my toilet paper? I swear even when I clean, there's a film of that stuff that comes up all over the toilet and behind the toilet. Am I doing something wrong?

Edit: I have a bidet. You still need to dry your ass and vulva with a bidet. Guests still want toilet paper. Now I'm more concerned - do y'all not have toilet paper just because you have a bidet?? It's not safe to leave your ass moist!

Sounds like it's a brand issue though but my partner is unwilling to switch from the ultra soft whatever we have so I guess I'm SOL.
