Most Canadians want more federal spending on health care, housing: poll
  • As someone who works in healthcare...don't bother giving us more. They aren't doing anything smart with the money they do have.

    It's such a fucking disgusting system and I wish I had never gotten into health care. I hate everything about it.

    What is your best school/college life-hack?
  • Don't buy the textbooks. You probably don't need them. If you do, buy a used one from another student for 1/100th of the price or get an online copy.

    First knitting post from beginner knitter
  • I recently stumbled across a crochet tutorial that really hyped the stitch markers and I definitely think it would help make things more concrete for me. I will try this method when I pick it up again, maybe in the winter. I mostly wanted to learn because of the granny square projects and how much faster it is then knitting for some things. We will see if I can figure it out, I guess 😅

    (Edit: lemmy shit the bed and said my comment couldn't be posted so I tried again and apparently it posted both. Whoops)

  • I feel like one is left brain and one is right brain 🤣 obligatory I'm a knitter, but I tried crochet recently and how the hell do you even know where you are? Like knitting you can count and it's super concrete and crochet just feels like a confusing free for all lmao.

    (And I know if I put more time into it maybe I'd catch on and knitting probably felt the same when I started blaahblah)

    Do you struggle to keep your house tidy?
  • Similar hours, no kids but 2 dogs and 2 cats.

    A Roomba and a housekeeper once a month to do the big things (dust, bathrooms, floors). Worth every penny.

    I think having an isolated area for kids toys or an easy to dump bucket to throw everything in would probably help the chaos that I see in other parents' homes but as a childfree person I'm the last who should give advice on that so feel free to laugh and ignore that idea.
