I enjoy walks in the park and the occasional existential crisis
There are 2 reactions to Heated Rivalry from Americans that really show how much they live in a bubble of self interest

1-pasta
2-cottage

They’re in the comments FIGHTING instead of accepting things differ in other countries

I remember years ago when I was recovering from my septorhinoplasty, I was left alone on Percocet with a phone, internet access and a credit card.

I spent like $1k online shopping then forgot. Then I kept getting packages in the mail, all of which were kind of a surprise since I ordered them high.

Brigitte Bardot had a gorgeous appearance but we can’t forget her bigotry.

She destroyed her own reputation by being straight up awful.

She was a beauty icon & an animal rights activist, but it ends there.

Wondering if this guy who blocked me on ig for telling him I was busy on a day I was in fact busy, knows we’re friends on fb

He was messaging me showing off the apartment he was put in while doing a movie role (hallmark xmas tv movie). Asked me out, then I was blocked.

There’s ways to talk about these changes without the attitude.

But I feel like those who go to these extremes are actually ignoring a larger issue within themselves. We’ve seen these crash outs countless times.

The other ones I can’t stand are the “no longer vegan” accounts that turn carnivore. One extreme to the other.

or they go crazy religious/spiritual in a psychosis type of way.

They’ll alienate their viewers on top of the extreme change.

I hate when vloggers become parents then centre everything around that.

Like I know it’s their life and content but when they take such a sharp turn away from regular programming, I just can’t find it entertaining.
December 27, 2025 at 5:20 PM
Like I just want to ask them if they get out much when they respond like that

It’s funny to me when people react to me saying girl by being like “I’m a man“ or “I’m a 30yr old woman” as if I was calling them a dictionary definition girl

What you should do is remove any hazardous objects from the area or off the person. Roll them to their side. Cushion their head with something soft. Time it, if it goes beyond 5 mins or they do not regain consciousness, call 911

You might want to clear from in front of them in case they puke

Recently saw a TikTok about what to do when someone has a seizure & a surprising amount of commenters thought you should put your fingers in the person’s mouth

DON’T DO THAT!!!

Firstly, they could bite your fingers off. Secondly, you’ll make them choke.

When I was a teenager, sales associates were so unhelpful, I never had the right bra size.

I remember having to safety pin a 34 band size smaller. So every day, my bra was safety pinned on cuz the stores didn’t carry 32s

A huge pet peeve of mine is when lingerie stores try to get you to fit a different bra size cuz they don’t have your size. I wear a 32D-DD depending on the cut, and they always try to get me to buy a 34 band size, but that doesn’t fit.

It’s like grown adults pissing in swimming pools. I want to ask if they piss in the water when they take a bath.

And no, chlorine doesn’t clean piss out of the water. It creates an irritant. I wish it create a colour change so the adult pool pisser can be publicly shamed.

Having to tell an adult to not use the fork they are eating with in food they’re cooking for others shouldn’t have been on my bingo card this year.

This is why I prefer cooking for myself. no risk of someone else’s saliva in your food.

That weird, toothy smile magats do is just them baring their teeth to appear intimidating, but they just look stupid. It’s esp embarrassing for them when they have those cheap, unnaturally white caps they love to claim are veneers, usually under inflamed gums, so you know that breath STINKS.

So not do too…my phone hates several words
December 25, 2025 at 4:11 PM
To end this statement, every time I typed sick, my phone changed it to dick.

Happy holidays everyone

It’s the employer’s fault for short staffing but also the manager is more than capable to perform whatever duties necessary to fill in for the sick employee. I’m sorry but not allowing workers to stay home when they feel like ass is do counterproductive.
December 25, 2025 at 4:08 PM
I find the concept of workplaces limiting sick days or expecting employees to work while sick to be incredibly bizarre, esp in restaurants or other customer service jobs.

Firstly, a sick worker‘s productivity will be low, secondly, they’ll get other people sick. Like it doesn’t make sense.

Currently my biggest problem is figuring what to read next…i have like 36 books to choose from

Several are reserved til next spooky season (aug 1-mid Nov), and trying to see which feel most like winter reads.

Sorry, I keep seeing people say “they did this horrible thing but I love their music,” to then turn around and stream it or use it on social media.

Buying used albums is the only way to not financially support them.

There’s also other bands that aren’t problematic.
December 23, 2025 at 4:46 PM
So, you like an artist’s music but you think they’re a bad person & don’t want to support them but you can put that all aside to listen to their music

Buy used albums. Check the thrift store.

Consider if their actions are forgivable.

The more I banter back & forth with ‘muricans online, the more I realise they’re functionally illiterate

I’ve also seen something about how schools grade things in USA compared to Canada. They were saying that at a+ in USA is around an 85% in canada.

This was coming from an American studying at a Canadian university.
