It is NEVER too late to learn. I wish my mother would realize this. I'm 41, and I have learned new things and better ways to treat people more humanely and kindly, and to respect who they are and what they care about and things that are important to them. It costs nothing to use someone's preferred pronouns or proper name. It costs nothing to treat people of color as who they are - normal human beings like any other human being. It hurts me to see my mother be so purposefully racist, obtuse, and cruel, even to people she has never met.

You are WHY we get the vaccine. Hopefully you can now get out because most people are vaccinated. Makes us slightly less likely to catch, and much less likely to transmit. Stupid thing made me tired and irritable for 48 hours. Worth it though.

This is what so many people just don't understand about the COVID precautions. I never worried about myself or my kids. I rarely get sick, and when I do, it's usually very mild (COVID was 3 days of "I think I'm going to die," then I got over it). I do tend to be a carrier of quite a few germs, so I used the precautions and got the vaccine so I wouldn't get other people sick.

Let's hope he doesn't have a heart issue and can have kids when he gets older. The jab has many very bad side affects that are being silenced.

Having a kid who can't get vaccinated, the rest of us have been super on top of our own vaccines, boosters, among many other things we need to do to keep her safe. All for one, and one for all!

Kid can still catch it and spread it. The "vaccine" is so he won't get as sick. That's the point of a vaccine.

When you are in that deep, dark pit, it is very difficult to see and hear the kindness around you. I am so very glad you saw and listened. I wish you peace and happiness always.

I love seeing this one every time it makes the rounds. A reminder that people are looking out for you even when you don’t know. There’ve been many times I’ve looked out for someone from a distance and probably vice versa. People do care about you!

There's nothing like facing the question of your own mortality to make you think about the things that really matter to you. When the pandemic started, given that I am not a healthy person, I was very much afraid that I might catch COVID and die. So I asked myself, "What's the one thing I really, really want to do before I die?" The answer was "I wanna see the Northern Lights!" Well, I got all boostered up and when I did catch COVID I came out of it just fine, so now to start working at going up North and seeing those lights dance in the sky.

It is devastating and horrifying to be an American right now. Fearing and hating your fellow citizens who choose to slaughter innocent people with weapons they shouldn't own. Those of us in America who are against assault weapon ownership feel compassion and empathy towards the victims of mass shootings. It hurts all of us as if they were our own family.

I have an Asian neighbour like this. I'm in my 50s I care for my mum full time who is 81. He did all our front yard weeding. I insisted on paying him, he said no way God pays him in blessings every day. I put the bins out last night and he was walking by we said our Helios. Went to put them back in and he had already done so for me today.

This is a lesson for all those who would’ve gone “f**k you you made my kids cry are you happy now???” after he said he couldn’t hold it the first time.

Same thing happened with my dog, except it wasn't the same litter. The owners had even given his brother the same name as him!

When my sister got a liver transplant it was like a magic spell— we could literally watch the jaundice start to fade from her face the very first day. The transformation was incredible. She’s had over twenty years of healthy life since, and we’re grateful for every day of it. Organ transplants are a genuine miracle of science. Donate your organs folks!

I remember when it was possible to support your family with a job like that and have a happy life. Now it would take three jobs like one at Kmart (rip) to make ends meet and the ends would get stretch marks from trying to meet.

Reminds me of that adorable Christmas ad about the old guy who keeps lifting one of those kettle weights every day and his neighbours think he's being daft, but it turns out he's training for when he will lift his grandkid so the kid can put the star on top of the Christmas tree.

Can someone do this for me with the car wash? Every time I forget what to do first and I chicken out. I actually wash my car by hand to avoid it when I have to take it to the garage.

It's strange to see a person who willingly causes harm to people like the autism community do nice things for other people. Still not a fan of hers no matter her ticket prices
