  • 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.

  • Immigrants explain why they're leaving Canada

  • Yeah tell all of us so we can go too 🤣🤣

  • What's a book you really enjoyed, that you feel like no one else on lemmy has read?

  • Beyond the sky and the earth by Jamie Zeppa. The only people I know who have read it have done it at my recommendation.

  • Hi, I'm your 10yo self. Is there something you wanna tell me/warn me about?

  • Call your dad more often.

  • What's a good podcast you like?

  • Morbid, Red-handed, Wine & Crime, Criminology, True Crime Garage, Dark Poutine, My Favorite Murder, Small Town Murder.

    Varying degrees of comedy, I cycle through favorites depending on my mood.

  • 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)

  • First knitting post from beginner knitter

  • I actually was meandering through some crochet tutorials recently and saw the tips about stitch markers and I definitely think that would make a huge difference! When I pick it up again I will try that.

    I mostly wanted to crochet granny squares and make blankets like my gramma did...and be able to make certain other things WAY faster than knitting allows. We will see if I can catch on eventually, haha.

  • First knitting post from beginner knitter

  • 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)

  • What do you make when you’re stuck on ideas for what to make?

  • I always just make Gramma slippers (aka phentex slippers). I always have someone who wants a pair...they get them when they get them 🤣

  • What are your favourite books, any genre!

  • Beyond the Sky and Earth - Jamie Zeppa The Hobbit/LOTR - JRR Tolkien Harry Potter series - JK Rowling Outlander series - Diana Gabaldon A Man Called Ove - Fredrik Backman (honestly anything by him) Gone with the Wind - Margaret Mitchell

  • Permanently Deleted

  • Is there a way to change what my home feed defaults as in connect, do you know? In terms of top day, best, active etc.

  • 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.

  • Another WIP 😁

  • I've done this pattern before! It was a fun knit.

  • List of popular communities you should visit!

  • Ahh, thank you! I thought I was doing something wrong as I am still trying to figure out lemmy 🤣
