Seeing recipes from everywhere but the US, and Americans asking to have the recipe ingredients converted “for them”. Sheesh…

I stand corrected

I used to visit the states fairly often. I’m afraid to now.

To whomever downvoted. Please educate yourself. Read about the Polio vaccine, and the lives that were saved.

And here in Canada, we’re facing threats of annexation and crippling tariffs. From what was our closest neighbour and ally. We’re already devastated.

And you’re a woman, right?

I remember hearing that food engineering was going to solve the planet’s hunger problem. People are still starving, and the rich are becoming richer. Now I’m hearing about “water treatment technology”. Really? Rivers and lakes are drying up. There are unprecedented forest fires, floods, tornadoes, etc. Drinkable water will be more expensive?? WTF? What’s next?? We’re going to have to pay for breathable air?

OK, but did the Doctor insist that your significant other/wife must come in and agree to the procedure?? NO. You answered a lot of questions, and the procedure went forward. It was YOUR decision.

So, if you want to get snipped, does the doctor ask , “does your significant other agree with what you’re doing? Maybe they should be here during this decision”. Does that sound ridiculous?? Well, that’s what women deal with on a regular basis.

History. It’s a messy and destructive process. Let me dilute this: Unfortunately, we haven’t learned from WWI, or WWII. Our grandfathers fought and died against fascism, and Hitler. And here we are—again. AGAIN. There are children starving, dying, and suffering in Gaza. We have lost our humanity.

Not sure where you’re from. If a woman wants to sterilize in the U.S. it’s a HUGE problem: If you’re married they want the husband to verify your decision. If you’re a young woman, they’ll deny because “you may change your mind”. BUT, a man can get snipped no questions asked.

It’s global. Who the fuck wants to procreate in a world that’s about run out of water??

Click Bait

Actually, I really don’t care about your religion or politics. I DO care that children are dying. I DO care that children are suffering and going hungry.

California, Oregon, Washington. I think you should join Canada! Free Health Care. It’s not perfect, but you won’t lose your house or life savings if you have a health issue.

Canada here. I recently received a reminder to update my COVID-19 shot (free). I choose to protect myself, and my family. Appointment has been scheduled. SCIENCE rocks!

Stopped in at a BC beer store for a bottle of wine on my way home. I was told their bourbon sales are up 30%. I asked why? Employee answered, “what are they supposed to drink?” I said, “anything but American!” Apparently bourbon drinkers are choosing their drink of choice over Canadian solidarity.

Yes, well, Trump did such a great job during the Covid Epidemic.

I know this comment will sound really naive, and it’s not going to make a difference in the grand scheme of things. But, I’m seriously depressed and sad. I was part of the age of Aquarius, and I really did think we were going to make a difference. We tried, but nothing has changed. I just wish we could live in a world of “live and let live”. No violence, no wars, no annexations, no fascists. Kind of like Norway…

Why is this even a headline? Are Americans that daft?
