A lot of places don’t actually do real references. They will say that you worked there and give no opinions on you as a worker, because they don’t want to risk getting sued for you not getting the job. Not sure if that helps you worry less. As far as the cultiness, I wouldn’t mention it. I’d come up with a more BS excuse that flatters the potential employer without insulting the previous one. Unfortunately, I’ve been a SAHM for too long and can’t think of any examples for you…

I’ve always wanted to learn to sew my own clothes. I can do simple hand sewing and used to make tote bags and turned men’s t-shirts into fitted T-shirts but that’s as far as I ever went.

What do you mean

Actually you can buy that. I got mine from Country Home Candle I think it was called? Small Canadian company, but they all buy scent oils from the same places so you can probably find that scent from a business local to you.

I worked at a pizza place 15 years ago and I still hear the phone ringing.

Same. Not vegan but the anti-vegans online are way more obnoxious and annoying than any vegans I’ve seen.

Thankfully I was injured at work and everything was paid for, because even in Canada, I’m not getting that physiotherapy for free.

Bootleg videos have been a thing forever. If we lose the internet, you just need to find your local shady flea market. They have plenty of pirated DVDs for sale.

Turns out I have extra bendy joints and it was only a matter of time before I injured myself.

Years of manual labour jobs for me, personally.

Thanks, I’ll try that out.

Yeah and I just don’t like fries that much anyway. If I get fast-food, I’m getting two value menu burgers, not one regular full meal.

Yeah it’s a great option for people who don’t want children. I hear it isn’t easy for childfree women though. They get refused a lot because “what if you change your mind?!”

If you are done having children or don’t want any. Vasectomies aren’t always reversible.

I have never tried building a PC myself but I have gotten into reviving old ones. I haven’t bought a computer in over a decade. I just inherit people’s old ones and bring them back to life with linux, maybe replace a dead PSU or something. I’m new to hardware stuff. I really wish I knew a way to get these computers into the hands of people who can’t afford to buy one and don’t know how to do this themselves.

I just moved back to a city with decent enough transit and dumped my car and god I’m so much happier. I hate driving and car ownership with a fiery passion.

Is there any add-on for me to get YouTube on Firefox to behave more like the YouTube kids app? I’ve been trying to find a way to set up YouTube with an allowlist on my kids’ computer but for now I just have the entire site blocked. They don’t need YouTube but they watch educational videos on it at school and they want to watch them at home, too. Blocking individual channels is like playing whack-a-mole.

I keep a toothbrush and bottle of toothpaste in the shower because I have atrocious ADHD and that is the only place I ever remember to brush them. It’s literally the one lifehack that I’ve tried that has actually worked. I’ve been doing it for a couple years now and I finally brush my teeth every day after struggling for my entire life.

For me it’s not being able to finish reading someone’s comment before I absolutely must reply. I write so many unnecessary comments that I’d never have written if I just finished reading.

The hyperactivity is in our heads with ADHD inattentive. We aren’t ever paying attention because our brains are thinking about a million other things at any given moment. Unless we are doing something interesting, of course.
