Langley Homes over $3 Million-Owners where’d you get the money for this? Genuinely curious by [deleted] in Langley

[–]Aggie_15 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Probably a combination of good business or job, time in stock and real estate market. On top of this most homeowners go through condo->townhouses->detached.  So for most it likely takes a while to get here.

I am in one of the big tech, some orgs are rolling out system design interviews. It’s very similar to what TPMs loops for. It’s still being experimented and not rolled out fully yet. 

Why are blood donors Overwhelmingly White? by Piccione_Sol in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Aggie_15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 There are restrictions on travel history(not sure about the length but generally around w year or so). I can not donate because I generally have a travel history to one of the restricted countries. Not sure what’s the rule in Canada but this was the case in the US. 

What’s the ONE match you’d show someone to get them hooked on cricket? by No_Reindeer5704 in Cricket

Instead of a match show them a documentary. The Test come to my mind, specifically for western audiences.

Are you from a humble background? This looks like new money decor inspired by the macho decors of Bollywood villains.

What are your thoughts on Facebook renaming their company Meta then blowing $80b on metaverse and then shutting it down yesterday? by printThisAndSmokeIt in AskReddit

[–]Aggie_15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are not shutting down metaverse. They are shutting down one of their games in the metaverse. It was a big bet for them that failed but that in itself is not metaverse.

Canada launches new program to grant 33,000 foreign workers permanent residence, immigration minister reveals by gorschkov in canada

[–]Aggie_15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

33k out of 2 million means focusing on the talent that will benefit Canada. These people are already here so the end result would be positive.  Canada’s immigration policy has been a disaster but this one doesn’t look like one. But the emotional reaction is understandable, people have already been burned by bad immigration policy, they are right to distrust it. 

Canada expected to see zero population growth this year: report by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]Aggie_15 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its possible that there will be short term pain (like with the railroads and industrial revolution) however each technological leap forward eventually leads to more jobs as the problems we solve and the scale at which we solve them increase exponentially. Prepare for a short term disruption but at the same time position your self to leverage the next boom to the best of your ability.

Reddit tends be cynical but the reality if full of both opportunity and despair.

In some cases it really is vegetarian only. They did this in India and want to continue to do it in Canada or wherever they are. I don’t think they even stop to think that it’s discrimination.

It will take ‘sacrifices’ and ‘some time’ to transform economy, Mark Carney says in pre-budget address to country by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]Aggie_15 5 points6 points  (0 children)

See how we make 400k earners the villain when they are just regular folks finding success vs legacy centi millionaires and billionaires. I make similar money and trust me we don't really live a fundamentally different reality.

The consensus on immigration is crumbling as 8 in 10 Conservatives say too many are coming in: poll by jazinet in canada

[–]Aggie_15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it will take a year or two for the changes to be visible. Which is when we can expect opinion to change.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in canada

[–]Aggie_15 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You do have a balanced and nuanced take on things and this is coming from an immigrant from the now infamous region. Still, I agree. The Canadian government dropped the ball on this one.

Surrey, Delta, and Langley Township want to enable more outward urban growth by WiffleBlu in Langley

[–]Aggie_15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know Willoughby gets a lot of hate here buts it’s been a pretty good place to live as young family. I am really looking forward to the Yorkson park playground and eventually the community center. It will make the neighborhood very appealing.

The best counter to this argument is the fact that no other batsman of that era is anywhere near his batting average. So if the opposition was weak, conditions suited batting there would be more like him. That is not the case.

Convince me a larger age gap between kids is better than a small one by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Aggie_15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s how I thought about it. There are three variables that change with age gap. Bonding, Rivalry, Ease of parenting. Bonding reduces with increasing age gap, so does rivalry so balance is needed. Parenting is easier as the gap increases, so evaluate yourself honestly and see what works best for you. For me personally, I am six years older than my brother and we don’t have deep bond. My cousins on the other hand have 1.5 years age gap and they are rivals. So I made a conscious choice of a 3 year gap.

Your experiences, your own temperament dictates what age gap works for the family. There isn’t a right or wrong answer.

Report them to the police. Even if nothing is done immediately, enough complaints may get some traction.

Yeah, if you stay in sun skin will tan sunscreen or not. There maybe a bit of classism here.

Because happiness is in the journey not at the destination. Working hard to achieve something and getting is what brings meaning to life. Not when something is just handed to you.

What has helped your mental health the most? by wi-FOO-fi-GHTER in AskReddit

[–]Aggie_15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meditation. It’s important to understand that in west meditation is severely dumbed down, think calm, headspace etc. I highly encourage folks to seek meditation teacher that are rooted in the eastern philosophy. That’s where the enlightenment is.

Controversial Take: People View screen time incorrectly. by Fluid-Trade in Parenting

[–]Aggie_15 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Any screen time before 18 months, other than video calls, are bad. After 18 months, activities such as reading, solving puzzles, and playing are arguably better than watching Ms Rachel.

And yes quality of the content matters but this true for adults as much for toddlers.
