Every teen should read Matched (dystopia in which every aspect of everyone's life is controlled through the cell phone tbey are required to carry everywhere.) Scared the shit out of me.

Love the comic :) How did we end up with a whole thread of troll food? :P

I am a man and I will now explain both sides to you lol

Where did you get that pole dancing gif?😍

He’s going to make her life as miserable as possible for as long as he can.

My takeaway from headline skimming is 1) Depp is gross and has gross ideas about women; 2) he lacks any self awareness. It’s a global pandemic. Everyone had forgotten about him and his reputation until he reminded us; 3) His brain is swiss cheese from all the booze and drugs; I wouldn’t trust him to testify to what he…

I would back away slowly and head in the other direction from anyone describing themselves as a “southern gentleman.”

I studied a lot of Canadian history in university and it wouldn’t have been obvious to me that the “1st Ukrainian regiment” was an SS unit, so in this case I don’t think Halton Regional would know this is a monument to nazi collaborators.

In my 20s I decided to set a mood by lighting some candles after a shower. Only I tried to light the wick of an alcohol burner (old glassware from a lab) from a candle. I knew it was stupid while I was doing it. The whole wick caught fire around the metal guard I was holding, engulfing my hand in flame. I screamed fuck…

I’m a Canadian who got pink eye in New Zealand. The doctor’s visit cost about $30 NZ, plus another 10 or so for antibiotics. The doc apologized for having to charge me at all. It was a new rule to charge non-residents a user fee, and he was against it. I was just so grateful to get a same-day appointment to deal with…

So... I'm looking forward to the follow-up. I wonder how many of these stories there are?

Aw shucks *blushing* Right back at ya. One of my pals did a lot of public defending with young offenders, and it seemed to be a lot of social work and advocacy. She works for the prosecuter’s office now, and less with youth, but it still sounds like a lot of problem solving.

My mom was more drastic: Think, could this end with being identified by your dental records?

I’m a teacher. Abuse causes all kinds of learning problems too, with kids showing the symptoms of ADD or a learning disability, even if they don’t actually have them. One of my friends has found if she can’t find any other reason for why a child is grade levels behind, when she combs through their school record, she…

A journalist here in Canada made a short documentary about child abuse in sport. When she interviewed kids at the Canada Games (a competition of mostly under-20s) pretty much every girl she spoke to had either been sexually abused by a adult related to her sport, or knew someone who had. Any time there’s something…

I'll have generalized anxiety until he's safely out of office.

And then we find out if his SCOTUS nominees pay off for him... can you issue a pardon before you're even charged? Would it be an admission of guilt? 

He’ll stomp around like Godzilla attacked by murder wasps.

😐I’ve never been more thankful to live in Canada.

I take some comfort from the fact BLM protests were much larger than the anti-shutdown/ anti-mask protests. I have no doubt there will acts of terrorism, like driving cars into people and mass shootings, but I think his supporters will do that if he wins too.
