I don't follow the different narratives.

I was under the impression that 99% of all media was owned by evil Conservative Right-Wing conglomerates that have been stretching and bending the truth to deliberately mislead the general public.

Why would the Conservative political party be against that same media and prevent them from telling their polished, half-truths?

I've only been able to cut sugar by eating less as a whole. That means intermittent fasting (first meal at noon). No food/snacks after dinner. Going to bed early. If I'm craving something sweet, I'll have A PIECE of candy or HALF a can of cola. I personally really like the taste of Pepsi Zero Lime and Dr. Pepper Strawberries and Cream - but as a Canadian, those flavors aren't readily available here.

"quitting" sugar, like any other addiction takes time and requires a lot of discipline. Make small changes that you can be consistent with and stick with it for a few months. Soon you'll notice your body adjust. You'll have more energy, your cravings will go away, you'll become sensitive to the taste of sugar like how non-smokers are sensitive to the smell of cigarettes. Your only regret will be wishing you had started sooner.

Good luck!

Super Power? LOL bruh, I just want to be cured of my crippling depression and low self-esteem.

But really, healing super powers tho would be cool. Because it seems like a lot of people need healing now, both mentally and physically.

Not major but I thought I was having a heart attack while shovelling snow alone in my driveway. Felt like burning and numbness in my arm and chest. Like acid reflux. I felt weak and crumpled to the floor.

The pain went away once my heart rate came down

After testing, it turned out I had a 100% blocked artery and needed stents. I was in my early 40s.

Clean while you cook. Have something simmering on the stovetop? Wash your dishes. Chopped some veggies? Wash your board, wipe down the counter. Etc etc.

Having a clean kitchen as your meal is completed allows you to enjoy your meal in peace without the dread of having to clean a stack of dishes or messy counter

I'm banned on Reddit LOL

But thanks for the reply!

I know I can work for anyone from anywhere but I really want to serve my community in Mississauga.

I’ve noticed ‘the algorithm’ pushing Russian content through Instagram and Facebook reels. Seemingly unrelated to what I usually browse.

I'd love to make an upper middle-class living as an artist.

Broke artists are a dime-a-dozen :)

I take a lot of downvotes on Reddit for being anti-pot.

I don't think our neighborhoods need to make it easier to access weed and alcohol. The argument for "more tax dollars" only works when we don't have a corrupt system of government that actually uses tax dollars for the betterment of our public services and not going into the pockets of the government's shady private dealings.

Make weed and alcohol a nuisance to purchase. Watch our society flourish with better physical and mental health.

That is my unpopular opinion. I'll happily take my downvotes now :)
