Caught Off Guard: How Inflation Challenges Are Reshaping Retirement in Asia

As the sun sets on years of hard work, retirement is meant to be a time of rest, relaxation, and reward. But for many retirees across Asia, the golden years are proving to be a financial juggling act, especially as inflation continues to bite. A recent survey by Sun Life Asia paints a vivid picture of the challenges faced by retirees in the region and offers a glimpse into the future of…

McGucket is increasingly having anxiety problems, as he was before, and these anxiety problems are actually not problems, they are him being right about what they’re doing.

But he so wants to please Ford. I think McGucket sees his own value as “I’m the guy who builds stuff, and you’re the idea guy, and I’m valuable to you when I’m building stuff. And when I have a problem I can build a solution, and any time there’s an emotional issue, you build your way out.”

So the canon became that McGucket proposed such a thing (the memory gun) early on, and then was told “You shouldn’t do that”, and then like an addict, like an alcoholic who has a little sip and notices it takes the edge off, privately, he can’t bear to say it to Ford. He’s keeping a lot from Ford, he’s keeping just how scared he is of what they’re doing, he’s keeping just how concerned he is. McGucket doesn’t really know what’s going on, but he’s internalizing and thinking, “I just need to be a better partner. If I have anxiety, I’m gonna pop anxiety pills, and I’m gonna get through this.”

Whenever people who are entrenched in diet culture talk about how terrible chemicals are, I just want to whip out this:

Hi, I was wondering if you could make me a omo schedule that will make me wet myself guaranteed. I have never fully lost control but I would love to.

Ik youre a switch so maybe just share something that made you lose control.

Thank you and love your content btw

Aww that’s so sweet! I’m glad you love the content. I'm really glad to hear that.

I personally don't let myself get to the point where I fully loose control. I'd rather not deal with the clean up if I can avoid it. (I think if I played with a partner and didn't have to think about clean up, I'd loose control and make a mess).

As for a schedule, 😈 this'll be fun.

Here are the rules:

You are only allowed to pee at the appointed time.

You are only allowed to pee for 60 seconds.

If you miss your time slot, then you have to wait until the next one.

Every time you are to drink, the minimum amount is 16oz or 500ml.

Leaking is not permitted, but if you do, you have to do 15 squats

Start at the beginning of your day. Have your normal morning pee. After, you have to drink some water. Every 15 minutes for the next 5 hours, go and empty your bladder. Then, drink the minimum amount of water (listed in the rules).

After 5 hours, which is basically prep time, you are not allowed to relieve yourself for 3.5 hours. Mark what time that is. It should be pretty difficult to make it because your body is used to relieving itself more frequently. In the interum, you have to drink the minimum amout of water/beverage 3 times. NO LEAKING!!!!!!

After 3.5 hours, your are allowed to pee. But, you only have 60 seconds to relieve yourself. However much pee is left must be held until the next time you're allowed to pee. Drink double the minimum amount of water. If you leak when trying to stop peeing, drink another 8oz.

Now, you have to wait 6 hours before you can pee again. Drink double the minnimum. And NO LEAKING!!!!! If you somehow manage to make it another 6 hours, congrats. You now need to contract and release your pelvic floor muscles. No more pee breaks after this.

Drink the minimum and wait until you feel full. You need to feel full as possible for as long as possible. Contract and release your pelvic floor muscles again. Continue doing so repeatedly for as long as yoiu can. Hopefully, this will make it increasingly harder for you to keep all that pee in you. Again, NO LEAKING!!!!! The hold only ends when you completely loose control.

For example, you finish prep at 11am. You just finished your last pee and drank 16oz of water. You now have to hold until 2:30pm. Drink drink a total of 48oz of water in that time. Then you have 60 seconds to relieve yourself. Now wait until 8:30pm. Drink 32oz during the 6 hours of holding. If you make it, no more peeing.

Admittedly, this is less of a true "schedule" than what I've seen or done myself. I dont know what the best way to do an actual schedule might be since I don't know what time zone you're in.

Let me know how it goes!!!!

*Sorry for the delayed response.

Justin Trudeau Faces Intense Scrutiny Amid Resignation Pressure: What’s Next for Canada?

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau finds himself at the center of a political storm as speculation about his potential resignation dominates headlines. A combination of mounting domestic challenges, political controversies, and shifting public sentiment has placed his leadership under a microscope. This article unpacks the key developments, public reactions, and potential outcomes as Trudeau faces one of the most challenging periods of his political career.

Resignation Rumors: Fact or Political Maneuver?

Reports of Trudeau's potential resignation emerged following weeks of criticism from political adversaries and even some within his party. These rumors have sparked nationwide debate about the future of Canadian leadership. According to sources, Trudeau is facing mounting pressure from both Liberals and Conservatives to address ongoing issues, including economic concerns, environmental policies, and foreign relations.

CNN reported live updates as political commentators speculated whether Trudeau could weather the storm or step down to preserve party unity. The Wall Street Journal highlighted growing dissatisfaction among Canadians, citing polls that reveal declining approval ratings for Trudeau's government.

Domestic Challenges Amplify Pressure

Trudeau’s tenure has been marked by significant achievements but also numerous challenges. Recent events have exacerbated public frustrations, including:

Economic Woes: Rising inflation and housing affordability issues have left many Canadians struggling to make ends meet.

Environmental Policies: Critics argue that Trudeau's government has failed to strike a balance between promoting green initiatives and supporting the energy sector.

Ethics Controversies: Past scandals, including the SNC-Lavalin affair, continue to haunt his administration and erode public trust.

These issues have provided ample ammunition for opposition parties, who are leveraging the public’s discontent to call for a change in leadership.

Trump’s “Merger” Comment Sparks Controversy

Adding a bizarre twist to the story, former U.S. President Donald Trump made headlines by suggesting a “merger” between the United States and Canada under his leadership. Speaking at a rally, Trump claimed that such a union would solve many of Canada’s economic and political challenges.

The suggestion, while widely dismissed as impractical, has drawn sharp criticism from Canadian officials and media outlets. The Hill reported that many viewed Trump’s comments as an opportunistic attempt to undermine Trudeau’s credibility during a vulnerable moment.

Public and Political Reactions

The Canadian public remains divided on Trudeau’s leadership. While some laud his progressive policies, others argue that his government has failed to address pressing national concerns effectively. Social media platforms are ablaze with discussions, reflecting a polarized electorate.

Political opponents have seized the moment to push their agendas. Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre has called for Trudeau’s immediate resignation, citing the need for “fresh leadership to restore confidence in the government.” Meanwhile, members of the New Democratic Party (NDP) have urged Trudeau to refocus on economic reforms rather than stepping aside.

International Implications of Trudeau’s Leadership

Trudeau's leadership extends beyond Canada’s borders. As a prominent global figure, his decisions impact international relations, particularly with the United States, European Union, and China.

Key concerns include:

Trade Relations: A change in leadership could alter Canada’s stance on key trade agreements, affecting industries on both sides of the border.

Climate Change Commitments: Trudeau has been a vocal advocate for climate action, and his resignation could create uncertainty around Canada’s environmental policies.

Geopolitical Alliances: As tensions with China and Russia escalate, Trudeau’s departure could shift Canada’s foreign policy approach.

What’s Next for Trudeau and Canada?

While Trudeau has not publicly confirmed or denied rumors of resignation, political analysts suggest several possible scenarios:

Trudeau Steps Down: This could trigger a leadership race within the Liberal Party, with key figures like Chrystia Freeland and Mark Carney emerging as potential successors.

Trudeau Stays On: He may attempt to rebuild public trust and navigate his government through this turbulent period.

Snap Election: If the political climate remains unstable, a snap election could be called, giving Canadians the opportunity to decide the country’s direction.

Conclusion: A Pivotal Moment for Canadian Politics

Justin Trudeau’s leadership is at a crossroads, and the decisions made in the coming weeks will have lasting implications for Canada’s political landscape. Whether he chooses to step down or continue leading, the challenges he faces underscore the complexities of governing in today’s polarized and unpredictable world.

Stay tuned for further updates as this story develops, and Canada navigates through a critical chapter in its history.

I need to know why people are so determined to probe parents and grandparents ‘wrong’ about the things they know about their kids/grandkids

My kid likes puzzles. Loves them, in fact. Does 48-63 piece puzzles for fun. Some nights they will do puzzles for 1-2 hours. Sometimes they’ll start a puzzle, walk away, and come back to finish it later.

Not only did my mother and I have to fight with the daycare workers in her room to show them that yes, this two year old does do advanced puzzles and loves them. Now my mom has people who are in my kids room like, once in a blue moon, telling her that she’s wrong about my kid loving and being good at puzzles because ‘i never see them do them’

Like… stfu.

I get you’re paid to care for my kid two days a week but i’m a SAHP. I see what they do the vast majority of the time.

If i’m saying ‘my kid likes puzzles’ i friggen mean it

I am so fucking horny for a piss schedule that’s like mean and makes my bladder ache but I haven’t found anyone who wants to give me one yet, what would be your ideal pee schedule if you were forced to adhere to one?

Ooo good question.

I think my ideal pee schedule would force me to drink more than I’m allowed go pee. Like you said, mean and makes my bladder ache.

I think my ideal pee schedule is still very similar to one I had in the past. (I wrote about it in a post a while back). I had to drink a certain amount within a specific timeframe. I was only allowed to pee at the top or bottom of the hour at first. As the day went on, I could only pee at the top of the hour, then every hour and a half and so on and so forth. I typically wind up getting rapidly desperate when I drink a lot of water in general, so the decreasing permissible times made it so I genuinely struggled to adhere to the schedule. Ideally, the schedule would be very strict and if I failed, I'd be punished.

With that in mind, peeing every hour might be the best schedule for me. It would force me to hold a full bladder for a regular amount of time. It also increases the chances for failing to adhere to the schedule.
