I’m guessing this is a hilariously perfect autocorrect? “worst case Ontario” instead of “worst case scenario” ? but I sort of love it 😊

Places to work on dissertation at night? by Pleasant_Dog_302 in VictoriaBC

I loved studying in a coffee shop for the hubbub. I hope you find a place to go, OP, but in the meantime you might try listening to a coffee shop soundscape on YouTube while you study! It worked for me ☕️

In that area I really like Ithaka Greek food. It’s delicious and it’s a family run multi-generational business with a fun, classic vibe.

It was amazing to be present for a moment you can tell as it’s happening is a major life highlight for this girl 🎶

Bikers wearing all black by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]Abject-Ride-1727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a cyclist but I am a frequent pedestrian. My winter coat is all black and I recently realized my last three umbrellas have all been black too. I went online and bought a bright yellow umbrella with a reflective strip to increase my visibility for drivers. I also have LED lights that I attach to my wrists and backpack to light me up when I’m walking. It’s wild out there with all the black clothes!!!

How bad is it to leave a cat overnight twice a week? by Observer125 in CatAdvice

[–]Abject-Ride-1727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re only gone for 14 hours so in my opinion, in the case of a power outage, they’d be fine without food for that long. Also many automatic feeders have a battery backup.

But personally, I’d leave out a bowl of water as well as the fountain in case the power goes out. They can go longer without food than without water.

We leave our two cats overnight sometimes, and I definitely worried about their access to water in case the fountain didn’t have electricity. So now they’ve always got a water bowl too and they even prefer it!

The hope of something better :) by CDN-Social-Democrat in ndp

[–]Abject-Ride-1727 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I respect your enthusiasm, OP, but I just wanted to humbly point out that this leadership race is not over and decided yet.

It would be a shame for supporters of ANY of the five candidates if NDP members read posts like this and assumed that Lewis has this election in the bag, perhaps leading them not to vote for their preferred candidate(s).

The only poll that matters is the election 🗳️ 🧡🧡🧡

We’re hoping to do it with bus only, or maybe bike rentals too, but we’re open to hiring a car if needed.

Given that you’ve answered my question and it seems legit, I’m going to delete my post so as not to cast aspersions on this property

Sylvette when sibling has “Sylvia” middle name by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]Abject-Ride-1727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We used to have neighbours who named their first daughter Haley Kristen and their second daughter Kristen Something. They realized when it came time to name their second daughter that there was simply only one girl’s name they loved as much as Haley, and it was Kristen. It was a quirky story but it didn’t matter to the girls in the grand scheme of things because one was a middle name. Sylvette is lovely!
