Processing the death of your parents and how that changes a person. And/or watching your parents cognitive abilities decline.
I wasn’t raised in a loving caring home. So it was incredibly alien to care for my parents as they got older. Helping them get dressed, taking them to appointments. Having tough conversations with them about their end-of-life wishes.
Not a topping but mustard as a dipping sauce for my pizza crust. I’m not a crust person. But dipping dry crunchy crust into mustard almost feels like eating a pretzel.
Tastes great with pepperoni too.
I worked retail all my life. I was so embarrassed. I swore that once I get “a real job” (read: Corporate) I would love it and it would be so much more respected.
Been working Corporate for 20yrs now and I hate it. Soul sucking, dream crushing, energy draining. At least with retail I’d get a little discount. Now all I get is an occasional pizza party 😭😭😭

Born in 1980, I felt too young to relate with GenX but too old to relate to GenZ. I feel 'seen' by Xennials.
There's also a connection to immigration in the 70s, 80s & 90s which I don't think gets talked about enough.
You can't rationalize with crazy. You gotta beat crazy with crazy.

Ontario Liberals and NDP propped up Wynne (incumbent), Del Duca, Horwath, Stiles and Crombie against Ford and overwhelmingly lost. It's incredible to me how Ontario can't find a strong, charismatic, left-leaning leader that can beat Ford in a popularity contest.

The question was "What type of stuff are you buying off Aliexpress?"
I started responding with "toys, cleaning supplies, phone cases, etc." And then I noticed I was responding to a post on ** Aliexpress@programming.dev**
So I felt like my response wouldn't be as helpful or would be off-topic because I was responding on the programming.dev instance.
Right? That makes sense right? LOL
As a driver, I used to be a bike lane hater. But then I moved to the suburbs. They benefit both the driver and the cyclist. They keep everyone safe and help traffic move along.
The worst is when a bus or large truck has to suddenly switch lanes to avoid a cyclist sharing the road. That greatly slows down traffic and creates an unsafe environment.
We don’t get many cyclists out here but we have bike lanes now and I think that’s best for everyone except Doug Ford and his cronies 🙃
