Dallas Brodie is such a piece of shit, but I fear she is just the beginning of this. No doubt more and more of her types will come out of the woodwork in the Conservative party if they end up winning, and they'll be way less likely to be kicking people out over controversial (insane) takes.

I don't think about fucking my family, that's gross.

I missed my flight after getting lost in London and the airline worker changed and upgraded my ticket free of charge for the next flight.

I really don't know what I would have done without her act of kindness. I would have been left stranded in London without money, a dead phone, and a credit card that got suspended because I tried to wire myself money before my phone died and it was flagged as suspicious activity.

I did joke about Alpine divorce while we were on the way up so I guess it tracks.

I once watched two kids get hit by a woman who was turning left in a similar situation to this, but it wasn't even that she was looking away she literally just said she couldn't see because the sun was in her face but decided to proceed through the crosswalk (and it was a marked crosswalk in that case) anyway.

Would've gotten hit myself if my dad hadn't been so cautious.

Only one I can think of would be a high-speed car chase where a violent or reckless driver is speeding through. I'm not sure how common those are nowadays.

Can I offer you an egg in this trying time?

I went through something very similar about 4 years ago where I finally (at the ripe old age of 28) had found a career in was excited about. It was automated, much the same as yours. I was crushed. I found other jobs where my skills could transfer. I don't love those jobs as much, and I'm still often sad I don't get to do what I loved anymore. It sucks. It wasn't the end of my professional life by any means. It was the beginning of a new one.

People often go through many career changes in their life. Last I remember hearing about it, it was like 4 per lifetime on average but that was like 20 years ago so I'm sure that statistic has changed by now. It will suck. It is not the end of the line. You will find other things to fulfill you in similar ways.

This will sound silly but whenever I go through these directional changes, I always fall back on a couple of OG redditors that got me through back in the day (poem_for_your_sprog and motivating_giraffe).

Penny's collection is still up and full of other wonderful art that has gotten me through difficult times: https://motivatinggiraffe.com/gallery/

It's very white technically (cast), but its various messages speak more to class struggle and patriarchy which affect all the races, so I personally wouldn't consider it a "white movie" in the same sense as some others in this thread.

I love that movie so fucking much. It saddens me that I will never again experience the thrill of watching it with a white person (many white people in fact) in a movie theatre. I'm not sure I'd want to because it made me feel physically ill but what a thrill.

Hm it stressed me out at first but ended kind of in a wholesome way.

Fight Club at its core is about how society fails to provide men a safety net for their emotions / personal development and instead pushes them to things like consumerism and unrealistic expectations of masculinity. This is what triggers the narrator to become nihilistic, angry, and eventually violent. The reason society is the way it is towards men is because it was set up that way by the patriarchy to keep them in their societal place and so that capitalism can keep capitalizing.

There's lots of articles about it (and how its so often misunderstood). I'd also recommend the book, as the different ending drives the point home in a different way imo.

Interesting point about evanecessence (JFC what a word to spell). I get more depression rather than anger from them lol

Just going to pop this in here: https://votewell.ca/

A conservative government will fuck a lot more than just queer folks.

It was a film targeted towards men and was specifically about toxic masculinity. So in this case, yes I absolutely meant men. Have you seen it?

I think men would misunderstand the message of fight club even more now and it would become a white supremacist hit.

I too have been sick for days and have been enjoying my loogies. Bonus that they usually mark the end of the illness, at least for me.

This whole month has beat the absolute shit out of me, I am praying for those three days at this point

Absolutely, but the way that it is broadly known to be misunderstood is in its commentary about toxic masculinity.

People come away thinking "I should start a fight club" and those people, as the movie, are not generally women. Because (precisely the point of the movie) men are not taught how to deal with emotions in a healthy way in our society.

This is an ongoing issue of society, its what's led to the male loneliness epidemic, and to point that out is not sexist. we need to address it and correct it.

Obviously the issue is now beyond the point of making a super cool satirical movie about it and its connections to consumerism and the broad failures of our capitalist hellscape.

Ripping stuff right from the Green platform now, cool. A little too late tbh, he should've been working with the Greens as soon as this election started to go sideways, not fear-mongering people into voting ndp instead.

Nevermind that he can't even be respectful enough of Emily Lowan to call her by her name in a debate.

Fuck Eby. And no, I don't want ti see a conservative government but I want to see one that will own up to their huge fuck up of election.
