There are a billion local bee keepers. I get some local honey to help. I don’t really know if the type of honey makes a difference, but I’ve been having some wildflower honey in my morning tea and my eyes are at least no longer on fire.

But, yeah, aside from that, a powerful antihistamine too haha

I’ve told people that the easiest way is to try to whisper the letter Q

Hate Me by Blue October

Cannot.

I don’t know if it’s state wide, but I know in Bremerton a law just went into effect that says ebikes or scooters than can do more than 20mph are now classified as motorcycles and therefore need plates and licensure

He was autistic (like level 2 autism, not high functioning) and really loved movies, especially actions movies. Transformers was so big to him when it started. I think people grew more tolerant and kind in high school from what I remember, but I’m sure he was still picked on.

I’m a transplant to the PNW and I absolutely love the rain, but unfortunately I am very susceptable to S.A.D. Sometimes I just really miss the sun

Isle of Dogs is one of my favorite movies

Some of my friends just changed their last name to Rabbit. Easy, short enough, and cute

Huzzah, thank you for the full breakdown, I really appreciate it!

Hmmm, I’ve been looking at jobs in the hope I can make my transition easier, but it sounds like I’ll need the social insurance number before I can really be hired. Catch 22.

But still, thanks a bunch!

Yeah I’ll have residency and access to most social programs until I become a citizen, but it’s 3 years of residency and then passing the test for citizenship. I figure there’s likely courses offered by universities or libraries or whatnot for the test. Or at least workbooks.

But we’re not entirely sure if my partner will get a green card. She’s rather uncomfortable with the US in general right now and doesn’t think her opinion will change unless something drastic happens and we swing vastly the other way politically. Fingers crossed, but I am running out of any glimmer of hope.

Fingers crossed it doesn’t, friend. But yeah… Oof

Ohh good to know about the AI gen. Ugh. That’s just bullshit.

But yeah, been looking at the canada.ca ones and am aware of BCs slightly different healthcare things - ie medications aren’t covered except maybe sometimes. It’s weird.

But thanks for the rest!

I’m not an expert on any of this, so grain of salt.

But for the bugs, can you just plant things that will help keep them away and use other methods that aren’t the sprays? Diatomaceous earth, lemon grass, CO2 traps, things like that? Or maybe just a big fan pointed at you so nothing can land?

For your hair, if you’re set on the sprays, maybe look up how sikh wraps work?

I just rotated my bedroom 180 and hung up a bunch of personal art and things on the biggest blank wall.

I haven’t decided if the rotation is better but I’m happy with the art wall

Thanks for the tip

Yeah that’s how it’s been for me too. I left for Lemmy and deleted my 15 year account too when they announced to take down 3rd party apps.

I’ve been visiting the Best Ofs, but this stupid pop up won’t let me scroll at all anymore. So. There’s now nothing for me there.

I saw the reposts and that’s just lazy nonsense.

This was a separate thing of me being frustrated. Coincidental, I suppose ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

I agree with you. Coming up on at least my second year here and I do love it, but I miss some parts of having the bigger crowd.

I know, I know, reddit sucks ass. I’ve been using firefox with ublock to read the best ofs for the unquenchable need for bullshit drama in my life.

But now it’s not just a pop up saying to use the app, but a full ass unpassable thing. Old Reddit still works, but that’s just another step for something that’s already so not worthwhile.

Welp…
