I still have to parent but I’m not going to work. I actually kind of like it when my kids and I are all sick at the same time because we all just lie down together and watch cartoons or play video games.

It really has that blurry ai thing to it

They’re made to be disposable and are often quite damaged, I believe.

Is that popeye

I’m Canadian, so not American, but for me it’s because I don’t have the same grandparent support my parents had. We had to move far away to be able to afford a place to live and now we have no help. My siblings and I practically lived at our grandparents’ houses, and so did all of our cousins. I hear a lot about how uninvolved grandparents are lately, whether by choice or by practicality (the distance, for us).

So where in Canada do people have this accent, anyway? I grew up in the GTA, and I’ve been to Sudbury, Calgary, Montreal and Quebec City but I’ve never heard the stereotypical Canadian accent. Do I just not notice it? Do I sound like this??

Seriously. “You called out our bullying you, and that hurts our feelings!”

Personally, I love chatty extroverts. They just talk at me and I get to sit there in silence and daydream. They don’t care if you’re listening.

Fried plantains are too good. Delicious potato bananas.

Remember how he handled the heckler in Brampton who called him a muslim terrorist? Complete opposite from how he responded to the parliament heckler.

As a Canadian, I love that your conservative leader also lost his seat!

Oh no, I might have to. It would be so cute.

Thank you!

Thank you. :) I put them to hide the spot where the straps attach.

Ugh I still remember the idiot in Brampton accusing him of being part of the “Muslim Brotherhood”.

I would be surprised if it wasn’t.

The absolute irony of Doug asking if the judges have anything better to do than worry about bike lanes.

I still have my CRT for retro games and it’s in the basement. We are moving soon and my husband is so annoyed with me for still having this thing.

They’ll get the ties to your country through you, like all immigrant and first-gen kids do. They’ll just be closer to the culture they live in. Speak your native language, feed them traditional food from your country, show them music or movies from your country, things like that. Take them on trips to visit your country, if that’s doable. I’m first-generation Canadian with Portuguese parents and through things like that, I’ve always felt Portuguese. Definitely more Canadian, but also Portuguese.

I’ve been using LibreOffice and its predecessor, OpenOffice, for yeeeeeears. Maybe 20 years? I have no complaints.
