Ok but can we all agree to stop calling high rise jeans “low rise” jeans? Because I have tried on SO MANY “low rise” jeans that for real go all the way up to my belly button. Crazy!

Well, if she hasn’t held a job for those 24 years, then that’s pretty much exactly why.

I know as empathetic human beings, we’re really not supposed to hope people die, but damn if I don’t hope Beverly died. Even if it wasn’t a her-or-Deacon situation, I just hate her so much and her sad-bitch bad-mom routine.

6 months. We have to top it up in the very near future, because our expenses just went up recently. It’s about 1/3 in chequing, 2/3 in high interest savings. It’s in two different banks, too, just in case. I’m Canadian, so it’s not for health emergencies. It’s not for car emergencies and it’s not for apartment…

People can often grow out of the more unreasonable food restrictions, even later in life. I’m 24 years old, and just last week I ate the first broccoli I can ever remember eating. A family member thought it would be “funny” to teach me green food was “gross” when I was little, and it lasted until I was in my early…

I’m p.sure the lawmakers ARE the Religious Right. I just can’t see how else this whole thing (meaning, all the dumb laws and also society’s realities in general) could have happened.

I’m thinking it’s likely to make Religious Freedom people stop and remember that other people have other religions, and maybe they don’t actually want everyone to be able to say their religion allows them to circumvent the law. At least, the ones who can think that long about Satanists without devolving into a…

Hah, seriously? In Vancouver there was a LOTTERY to win the chance to buy a ticket to their show.

Ok I think you’re missing my point here. I’m not saying people should immediately use this method, it is not proven, reliable, or affordable yet. I’m saying I think this is a good start on the path to preventing diseases, and that it could change many peoples’ lives, some time in the future once it has been…

But if someone can’t produce any embryos without problem alleles? This could be their solution. I’m not arguing that this is the easiest way or the cheapest way, but it might be the only way in some circumstances. It also could help lower global disease rates eventually. I’m just saying I don’t see any significant…

It’s probably easier and cheaper to just choose a healthy embryo, sure. But what if you can’t make a healthy embryo? What if they all have an illness, and scientists know how to take the illness away, but someone says that’s bad and wrong and you shouldn’t, because they’re what? Worried you’ll make a healthy baby by…

Even though they used it to remove a deadly illness before anyone could suffer from it? Seems like something I would like to be standard healthcare. It’s not standard yet, obviously, because we didn’t know how to do it yet or if it would work. Nothing can be “standard” before it’s even been done, or the first time…

I wore a plain, cheap Target sports bra while moving to my new apartment. It kept my boobs from squish-danger AND supported my back enough for me to survive the lifting of all of my worldly possessions.

As far as I could tell when I was last looking into it, that seems to be because Canadian brokerages are more likely to charge “inactivity fees” on low-balance accounts. US brokerages are more competitive because of the larger market.

Yeah I live in Canada. I spent $200/mo on food when we were only making literally 10% of what you’re making.

I have never ever cleaned the inside of an oven. Sure, I’ve half-heartedly wiped at the glass viewing window before moving out of a place. But I just don’t see how something regularly heated to 400 degrees can be considered “dirty”.

2.1%=$50/wk? You are making 10k a month and spending $200 on food?

$250 (Canadian) aka ~10% of monthly take-home pay (but we’re hourly not salaried, so the percentage varies a bit, and we spent similar amounts when making 1/2 the income because it’s simply the least we can spend) For reference’s sake, food generally costs 150-200% of the US cost here, when comparing good sales to…

I’m pretty sure that if Marilyn Manson called me a bitch, I’d take it as a compliment. It’s certainly a much better story than That Time I Took A Selfie With Someone Famous.

So my husband and I are waiting in a line, and I'm trying to decide between a cheaper item, and a slightly more expensive item with a BOGO movie ticket in it (because are there even movies we want to see before June?). The wifi is bad in line. I ask my husband to go find a better signal and look at upcoming movies,…
