Having watched the video, I can see how the other parents would've been frustrated. The kid was truly kicking ass and the dad was being obnoxious about it (also, apparently the kid was 3 and the rest of the kids were 5?).

However, calling the cops on a black family for trespassing still seems extreme and unnecessarily endangering imo. People have been killed for less.

    I hope that they can find a more appropriate leader who is better aligned with the federal NDP. I really like Avi but had to drop my membership because I did not want to give Eby any further support.

    I have misophonia and absolutely can't stand chewing, but I fucking love certain kinds of asmr. I dont know how to explain it, and I'm extremely specific about the content, but my body just has very strong both positive and negative responses to sound.

    Canadian-made electric toothbrush? (lemmy.world)
     

    My Philips electric toothbrush finally died last night and I'm looking for a replacement.

    I found a brand called vearthy that sells a bamboo electric toothbrush that is supposedly compatible with Philips heads, which is great because my partner still uses that one and we have a ton of compatible heads. However, I can't really find any reliable reviews for it.

    Has anyone ever purchased vearthy or have any other recommendations for a good electric toothbrush that's Canadian, or at the very least not American? (Bonus if I can purchase it from somewhere that's not one of the big grocers)

    Thanks!

    Edit: in case anyone runs into this post later. I ended up buying the vearthy toothbrush. It's very lightweight and works well so far. Has multiple settings which I wasn't expecting. I did not like the toothbrush heads it came with (they are very soft and a little small for my taste) but since its compatible with Philips I just swapped it for one of the other heads I had. Overall pretty good purchase I think.

    How do you all keep the area around the toilet paper dust-free? (lemmy.world)
     

    When I go to people's houses, their toilet paper area never seems to have as much of that goddamn dust all over the place. Is it my toilet paper? I swear even when I clean, there's a film of that stuff that comes up all over the toilet and behind the toilet. Am I doing something wrong?

    Edit: I have a bidet. You still need to dry your ass and vulva with a bidet. Guests still want toilet paper. Now I'm more concerned - do y'all not have toilet paper just because you have a bidet?? It's not safe to leave your ass moist!

    Sounds like it's a brand issue though but my partner is unwilling to switch from the ultra soft whatever we have so I guess I'm SOL.
