Since Bezos recently ordered WaPo’s editorial board to defend the free market maybe someone could ask them if Trump ordering a company to adhere to political policies is truly indicative of a “free” market? Does Tim Apple enjoy the “personal liberty” to tell Elon and pool boy Trump to go fuck themselves? Is America free yet?

What really helped me was simplifying my life and putting myself first. Let’s take your statements one at a time:

Ex-Boyfriend - does not care about you. Don’t waste your energy there. It helped me to mute these people on socials and put them on limited view of my posts if you don’t want to block or remove.

Girlfriend - decide if you want to stay in this situation. What would need to improve to make it better? Will your partner accept these improvements? This should be your top priority. I don’t know you and I don’t know your background but the boyfriend breakup -> new sexuality -> open relationship jump seems confusing, complicated and a lot to take on. Take a hard look and make sure you’re doing this because it’s what you want - not from a place of looking for validation/acceptance or chasing someone.

Long-Time Friend - cut contact fully and take some space. Not now does not mean not ever. I had to have a difficult conversation with a friend recently where they really bought into rumours someone was spreading about me without asking me about it and wanted to make it up to me and I had to tell them I’m happy to be on friendly terms but don’t have the personal emotional capacity for more at this time. You don’t even have to tell the friend this much. You can just decide it and answer or not when you’re ready. No one has you at gunpoint forcing you to talk to people. See above on muting them on socials so you’re not tempted to interact.

Then, fill your time with things you enjoy. Take a fuck it attitude and get out there. For example, I found a group on meetup who had a common interest and went to some nights. It wasn’t expensive - the price of a cup of coffee - and it got me out of the house and interacting with new people. Look for low commitment things so you don’t overextend.

Exercise is good too. I find when I’m in crisis I tend to potato to weather the storm. Then when I’m on the mend I tend to get back into my routine.

Try to notice the way you talk to yourself in daily life too. You’ll get stuck longer if you’re down on yourself. For example jokes like “I’m dumb” become reality and your perception of yourself really quickly. I write one positive line about myself every day in my planner/journal.

I also found finding one to two “hype” people on social media who said positive things to be helpful. You mentioned your anxiety. If you’re not already doing so, seek out healthy, positive content to help you with that. It’s 2025 and therapy is expensive. This is a good first step.

Controversial, but there is a chatgpt therapist extension (not sure if free or paid). If I really feel emotional and stuck, and in my case I couldn’t vent to my friend anymore, I turn on temporary chat and let it fly with the chatgpt therapist. It is helpful to get validation/perspective on my situation in the moment and without judgement.

I know this is a lot but you can get through it by taking small steps. We all go through difficult times throughout life and each one is going to help you build resilience. Again, I don’t know you, your age or your circumstances but your post reads like you are younger. I know it’s cliche but the things that seemed like the world was ending when I was younger don’t even seem like real challenges now. Life really is one crisis after another.

Apparently it’s happened before and you don’t have to - you just can’t sit in the chamber until you get a seat if I understand correctly.

Because the polling looks best for him, most likely.

And this is exactly why the fuck Trump is chasing Canada as well.

Hard for the Nazi to walk on the grass with his diaper and lifts huh.

Nope? Just saying you can trace a direct line from her wringing her hands about Brent Kavanaugh but ultimately voting to confirm, to impeachment “learned his lesson”, all the way through to today. She has had multiple opportunities to be on the right side of history and has consistently picked the evil choice every time all while Helen Lovejoying the shit out of her job for the cameras. She has been one of the enablers of Trump’s agenda while the whole time acting “very concerned”.

All this shit started with her and her will she won’t she LeBron James The Decision bullshit.

This is because of Elon.

Fuck it idc put 200% on Teslas and give us access to cheap Chinese vehicles.

Could this also be a vendetta against Severance?

I feel like the dystopian future imagined in Severance is something that would appeal to Musk. He just doesn’t like that it’s portrayed from the inhumane perspective of the workers.

I mean there’s no right wing party in Canada either. The one we had has lost serious momentum over this.

He doesn’t joke. He said tariffs are coming for Europe and they will. Canada 51st state isn’t a joke.

To be honest Canada’s feeling pretty alone and abandoned by the international community. Other allies should also be standing up to this nonsense. This isn’t how we all stand up to bullies.

I don’t think it’s a factor about him being old. He’s a figurehead. It’s the tech bro billionaires and ghouls he’s putting in place to operationalize their own plans. This includes dismantling democracy. That’s not just going to stop with the US.

They’ll be coming at you guys soon enough. Best to figure out which side you’re on.

You’ll probably get the wrath anyway. It’s a matter of time. Best to plan.

 

I bought this kit from Aliexpress. I’m not very picky about my needles, but I do have have the Chiaogoo red ones. I wanted a set to travel with and these seem good so far, which is kind of surprising.

Price $38.38 Canadian

3-8mm needles

Just in case anyone’s in the market for some needles.

Just ordered this one from Amazon and it’s good!

It doesn’t have the standing ability so if you’re looking for that wait longer. I’m just looking for something to protect it when I throw it in my purse.

It’s got a pen holder and magnetic wake/sleep.

 

Just finished this. Took about a month. The pattern is free!

Since it’s unisex I used a Caron cotton cake in DK I think and knit the small size. I followed the guidance on the label for needle size. It started as an experiment and ended as a happy accident.

Also, I modified by adding the panel in the hood and icord string.

 

This is from one of our major news outlets in Canada.

 

Hi - don't judge. This is my first mechanical keyboard and I'm playing around with something in budget that meets my needs as a beginner. I know it's not the best but I'm genuinely looking for help and knowledge here.

Yes, I know the allegations about the software/drivers for this keyboard being flagged as malware and have done research into this, though apparently not enough research. I downloaded what I thought was the driver for this keyboard but did not realize that it was a Via driver that broke the battery indicator and any possible connection to the (apparently terrible) software.

Would anyone have access to the original driver so I can roll the keyboard back to factory settings? The factory setting reset (function + esc 3 sec) doesn't roll back these changes. I tried to download one on Weiyun based on advice from the other site but everything is in Chinese and it does not seem to work.

Alternatively, does anyone know who I might contact to obtain this driver? I contacted the seller on AliExpress but they are spotty at best.

Many thanks in advance.

 

X-Post from the other site; text below if you don’t want to visit. Found this interesting and didn’t see it 3 months ago when it was posted by u/UrdknotWreav:

By now we all know Mike Turner is the DOD's knight in shining armor, who's gonna protect the DOD's fragile and brittle reputation, from the hordes of savages who are demanding more hearings.

The below publicly available information about Mike, might become handy at some point.

To summarize:

So Mike Turner, helped funding Radiance technologies. The company where both Travis Taylor and Jay Stratton are currently employed. Jay Stratton, Travis Taylor and David Grusch all have worked together in the UAPTF.... WTF?

We have Mike Turner in the center, connected somehow to Radiance Technologies, Wright Patterson AFB, Department of Energy, receives shitloads of money from Lockheed Martin and other defense companies.

As you can see there's way more to Mike Turner than meets the eye. Is he perhaps one of the gatekeepers?

 
 

I find it fascinating that Canada’s mint would even recognize these incidents.

 

Now the heatwave needs to end so I can wear it.
