Rookie numbers. 80 cars is nothing to a billionaire.

I don't follow the different narratives.

I was under the impression that 99% of all media was owned by evil Conservative Right-Wing conglomerates that have been stretching and bending the truth to deliberately mislead the general public.

Why would the Conservative political party be against that same media and prevent them from telling their polished, half-truths?

I'm originally from the UK but moved to Canada when little.

Fall is my favorite season. I LOVE cold, dark, rainy days. My entire body just feels relaxed.

Summers here are getting hotter and hotter, with long stretches of 30c where you can't do anything.

Winters here are either painfully freezing with face-cracking winds or giant dumpings of snow that make getting around impossible

Fall is a nice blend of cooler temps, a little rain, a little darkness, a fresh start with kids gone back to school, just generally pleasant as long as you don't have to clean up too many fallen leaves :)

I've only been able to cut sugar by eating less as a whole. That means intermittent fasting (first meal at noon). No food/snacks after dinner. Going to bed early. If I'm craving something sweet, I'll have A PIECE of candy or HALF a can of cola. I personally really like the taste of Pepsi Zero Lime and Dr. Pepper Strawberries and Cream - but as a Canadian, those flavors aren't readily available here.

"quitting" sugar, like any other addiction takes time and requires a lot of discipline. Make small changes that you can be consistent with and stick with it for a few months. Soon you'll notice your body adjust. You'll have more energy, your cravings will go away, you'll become sensitive to the taste of sugar like how non-smokers are sensitive to the smell of cigarettes. Your only regret will be wishing you had started sooner.

Good luck!

Super Power? LOL bruh, I just want to be cured of my crippling depression and low self-esteem.

But really, healing super powers tho would be cool. Because it seems like a lot of people need healing now, both mentally and physically.

Not major but I thought I was having a heart attack while shovelling snow alone in my driveway. Felt like burning and numbness in my arm and chest. Like acid reflux. I felt weak and crumpled to the floor.

The pain went away once my heart rate came down

After testing, it turned out I had a 100% blocked artery and needed stents. I was in my early 40s.

Clean while you cook. Have something simmering on the stovetop? Wash your dishes. Chopped some veggies? Wash your board, wipe down the counter. Etc etc.

Having a clean kitchen as your meal is completed allows you to enjoy your meal in peace without the dread of having to clean a stack of dishes or messy counter

I'm banned on Reddit LOL

But thanks for the reply!

I know I can work for anyone from anywhere but I really want to serve my community in Mississauga.

 

I'm hearing rumblings of mass layoffs in my industry and was hoping to soften the blow by reaching out for full-time work before things come crumbling down.

I have nearly 20yrs of experience working in a studio and as an in-house designer. With the last 8yrs being at my current employer.

While a generalist, I excel in the areas of logo / branding design, print design, email / e-blast design and presentation design. I do a little bit of Wordpress / HTML / CSS work on the side as well.

I'm a Xennial with strong work ethic and communication skills.

Reach out if you think I can help you. Thank you!

I’ve noticed ‘the algorithm’ pushing Russian content through Instagram and Facebook reels. Seemingly unrelated to what I usually browse.

I'd love to make an upper middle-class living as an artist.

Broke artists are a dime-a-dozen :)

 

The Carbon Tax was a major part of Trudeau's downfall near the end of his term. Why did he have such a hard-on for the Carbon Tax? Why didn't he cancel it when he had a chance and maybe salvage his political career? Why did Carney scrap it on his first day?

EDIT thanks for all the responses. It now makes so much sense. Trudeau was on his way out. He knew it. He took all the heat so that the new leader could take credit and ushering in a “We’re not Trudeau” party leadership, potentially saving the party during the next election and sticking it to Poillivere

 

They haven't called an election yet I got this today. Looks a little sus.
