  • Happens in Canada too, only we actually have multiple parties. but the left sides tend to split the vote more whereas the right manages to have less splintering and usually will back one of the major conservative parties. It sucks honestly but I’m okay with it because at least I don’t feel my vote is wasted when I vote for an alternative.





  • Idk if this is an effective life hack but I’ve seen a few instances where just appealing makes things go away (whether they were warranted or not).

    Just last week I had a friend appeal a ticket just because he didn’t realize it was paid parking, they let him go as a first time incident.

    My partner has appealed 3 tickets on separate occasions and gotten away pretty scot free (twice, a typo on the ticket and once the cop showed up to the appeal and told him to donate some money to charity in lieu of forcing him to pay the ticket). Most of the time it’s more effort for them to fight you on it, so you might as well try ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I’m not vegan or vegetarian anymore because I have a lot of allergies that prevent me from eating plant based anything. But I also try to limit it to locally and ethically harvested when I do eat meat.

    I identify as agnostic and definitely don’t believe that any one living being is better or more special than the others (except maybe cats).


  • This is unironically one of my favourite questions to ask new friends. I’ve gotten a variety of answers, but my own response has always been yes, if the person was healthy and had clearly consented.

    In my opinion, cannibalism is bad for two main reasons, 1) it can be unsafe if the person was ill, the meat has spoiled, or if it’s done too often (this has been studied in cannibalistic rituals) and 2) it’s unethical if the person doesn’t consent to it.

    Eating animal meat is non consensual and there can be diseases in there too - many people have died from it. Just because it’s more socially acceptable, I don’t really see it as an ethically better decision.

    I would 100% at least try my own home grown meat cells.

    This might not be feasible if you’re in the states but if you have access to good healthcare, go to an allergist and get the shots! I’ve always had cats and been allergic to them , I survived with an inhaler and prescription pills. Since I finished my shots last year I’ve felt 100x better. The only time I need my pills now for cats is when I visit my mom who has 5 of them, with one long haired orange boi that just needs to sit on your head.
