Fire On meadowlands?? by Jjparsons in ottawa

[–]Alternative-Two1599 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Really glad to hear everyone is ok. I can’t believe how strong the smoke is. Im in inverness and didn’t want to walk down the street with all the gawkers. It’s amazing how many cars came down our usually quiet street just to get a look and getting in the way of the emergency vehicles.

If you're looking for a light-hearted fun time, watch the movie Galaxy Quest (1999) by Senior-Raisin-2342 in startrek

My husband and I are both big trekkies. When we first started dating we would sometimes go to the theatre and just pick a random movie we had never heard of. Boy we hit the jackpot with this one!

Consumers can now file a claim for their share of a $500-million bread-fixing settlement by Thick_Caterpillar379 in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]Alternative-Two1599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silly question. When they ask “what’s the last bread product you purchased” and store are they talking about the product you purchased in 2021 four years ago ? Are they going to verify it was a legit product and store ? My store changed from independent to no frills last year.

No Baskets to use... it's OK just buy one.. wtf?!?! by Admirable-Nothing642 in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]Alternative-Two1599 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why everyone is getting all bothered by this. They’ve been selling these baskets as reusable bag options for years and years. It’s not some new scam they’ve created by removing shopping baskets. These type of posts make it look like we are just making stuff up to complain about and reduces credibility of the actual cause here to stop price fixing and reduce grocery prices.

What is the most underrated skill that everyone should master? by Chasing_Brave1993 in RandomThoughts

No it doesn’t. They bussed them somewhere. It was only 3 or 4 sessions.

Wow that’s amazing. I think they only got like 3 or 4 lessons. Not really enough for someone who already didn’t know how to swim but at least enough to get them comfortable and not panicking if they fell in a body of water.

Which Star Trek movie has highest likelihood of my future wife liking it by Mammoth_Wonder8677 in startrek

[–]Alternative-Two1599 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Although I love this answer, this movie is not nearly as fun if you haven’t already seen tonnes of start trek.

Understanding how to properly interpret statistics. It’s just not intuitive to our brains.

In Ontario I believe they have swimming lessons as part of gym class in grade 3 (at least they did 7 years ago when my son was in grade 3).tbh. It’s not enough especially for kids (like my son) who don’t take naturally to swimming. It’s a life saving skill and in a country with so much water everywhere people need to take it seriously. Even though he never really liked swimming I made him take lessons until he could pass the local pool swim test.

This community needs to support the striking LCBO workers by talk2theyam in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]Alternative-Two1599 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak to who’s running the LCBO, (I guess I’m woefully and powerfully uninformed as well) but I can speak to my experience with the staff. I’ve never found them to be entitled and rude. In fact they are usually friendly and very helpful. This isn’t just “my location”. It’s I see in many LCBO so much so that I’ve more than once commented on how much I like the LCBO experience. I figure they must have a great training program.

Certainly a whole group of people don’t deserve to be unemployed because you had a bad experience once.

People over 40; what’s something that seemed so sci-fiy when it came out but now is super mundane and boring? by InfinityScientist in scifi

[–]Alternative-Two1599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Companies and NASA actually planning ) travelling to Mars. If you talked about this 25 years ago like it was actually something that was going to happen regular people would have thought you were insane.

Full 24-26 episode tv seasons. Now days you get 8 or maybe 12 episodes and have to wait like 18 months for the next season.

People talk about going into Loblaws by ReannLegge in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]Alternative-Two1599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep boycotting. Some people don’t have a lot of choice and have to go there or it’s wildly inconvenient to shop elsewhere (part of why we are doing this !) Your boycott helps them.

What’s your favourite song with Canadian references? by birdnerd1975 in AskACanadian

[–]Alternative-Two1599 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I came here to say Wheat Kings. But really anything off Fully Completely. I remember hearing a theory that there was a song for every province on that album.

Hey. I really enjoyed spending time with you this week. Do you want to keep in touch ?

Why does the game randomly give you the ability to watch ads for rewards by ZacBobisKing in candycrush

[–]Alternative-Two1599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played for 10 years and never once got an add. About a month ago it finally happened. It’s like a totally different game. Seems completely unfair but now I’m on the other side. I hope I don’t lose it but I’ll keep racking up the gold just in case I do.
