I will never not laugh at this.
I mean at some point it’s got to burn itself clean …right?
Because I’m tired of wearing them by the end of the day, and most of what’s on our household tv I’m not really watching anyway.
Also if I’m messing around on my phone, glasses need to be off b/c distance, and I’m not about to put them on/off every time I switch focus when I’m just trying to relax.
I will wear them if I’m watching something intentionally, though. Like a nature documentary or something with visuals worth appreciating.
Oh damn, good to know. I’m still kind of newly figuring out better privacy-minded options for myself. Thank you!

Ungoogled Chromium is my current favourite
Previously was using Firefox Developer’s edition which is also decent. But I like a minimalist browser that acts more like a framework to which I can just add what I want, and doesn’t come with a lot of bullshit I don’t need.
I mean… you don’t.
It’s like the old “pick two” saying
You can have cheap and nice, but it’ll be really far (from any city these days, not just the gta)
Or you can have cheap and not far, but absolutely not nice. Lucky if it’s not condemned, honestly.
You cannot have all three. Genuinely sorry :/
I can’t say why Peterborough specifically, but it would not be surprising if small towns in general were being targeted for this sort of recruitment effort.
The bigots are easier to target in a smaller pool. They come right out, group up and make themselves known.
Also a lot of small town Canada is a cross section of people who are (a) mostly from a singular culture with little exposure to others and (b) see any prospect of change as a threat to their way of life. These are easy vulnerabilities to exploit, unfortunately.
I don’t really think there are more bigots in small town, they’re just so much more obvious about it. And the majority decent folk have to live here, so you really have to be careful about choosing your battles when you know you’re going to have to see these people all the time, and if you challenge them they will remember you, and go out of their way to make your life difficult.
I just wanted you to know how much joy the idea of cleaning stains with a hammer gives me
Imagine if it worked? So satisfying
Seriously speaking though, the only “trick” I know is to have dedicated reno clothes
Ok this is super gross, but if it’s just a little blood, I’ve had excellent results using my own spit (before putting it in the proper wash lol)
As for deodorant, it doesn’t have to be denim, but using another fabric does work. I usually just use a sock or a towel, whatever’s handy when I notice it
I love this.
It’s one of my passing hobbies to look up word lists like this - some of them are beautiful, and there’s something really satisfying about knowing this obscure and weird thing you’re experiencing is at least “normal” enough to have its own name.
Then I promptly forget, which is annoying, bit also means I get to discover them all over again a few months later.
On this list I can easily identify with 7/8 too
