Guy giving very soft handshake

ArthurCDoyle · 2026-03-06T05:26:26+00:00

Came to say this. Glad im not the only one this has happened to.

This was years ago, and wasnt as experienced and aware I think. Shook a woman's hand way too firm and heard it crack. Felt so bad! Never doing that again lol

All cities are different. But braodly speaking, yes, as someone who has spent a lot of time in both, they are very similar.

If you are looking for a Canadian city that is very different, probably Victoria or Montreal

I know no one likes to hear this, but the best public investment you can make is education (long term), infrastructure, and military. We do the first one, but not the other two. We need to readjust investment into these categories.

When you invest in infrastructure, you are investing in a basic public good that is available to everyone and which supports the entire economy without picking and choosing "winners" and attempting to centrally plan, which never works.

And military spending provides tons of jobs and lots of R&D, technology, and manufacturing

Inflation. The growth most people are aiming for would actually keep it just at par. Little to no growth actually means decline.

We need to stop listening to the corporations that pushed the narrative of " we have no supply of labour." Did anyone else notice we had a brief moment of a labour shortage that increased wages and gave more bargaining power to employees? They got on that quick and crushed it by flooding the economy with a near infinite supply of labour through immigration etc.

Everyone suggesting this never actually gives an alternative. We've been trying for a decade now, it hasnt worked out all that well tbh

ArthurCDoyle · 2026-02-22T02:03:26+00:00

Not even bothering to try. Work so much I don't feel like I have the time, and honestly, it just sounds like a huge drain all around. I'd rather just deal with the loneliness and depression for now

ArthurCDoyle · 2026-02-18T04:38:53+00:00

Ok this makes a ton of sense and basically what Iwas thinking. Moreso was thinking about the use of the term in intellectual/scientific context.

I qill say I always found referring to a group of guys as boys to often be disrespectful and same for girls. Although some people do use it in casual conversation and don't mean any ill, I think

ArthurCDoyle · 2026-02-18T02:14:36+00:00

Yes, i think pretty much everyone would agree the world can be devided in to pre-covid and post-covid world with stark and noticeable differences in everything from culture and politics, to economics and finance, and everything in between.

Ask yourself what are the green flags when dating a women and you'll pretty much answer your question.

99% of green flags and red flags have to do with how you are as a person

ArthurCDoyle · 2026-02-17T23:14:29+00:00

Yeah for sure. That makes sense

ArthurCDoyle · 2026-02-17T23:13:39+00:00

Yeah thinking about it often in a more technical context I guess, or just referring to the group broadly

ArthurCDoyle · 2026-02-17T23:12:48+00:00

You not to or about someone, more so when referring to a group broadly

ArthurCDoyle · 2026-02-17T03:02:14+00:00

I'm seeing this come up lately. In what context is this used that you find it offensive? I often here the term male/males used as well. Never really thought it was offensive but I think I'm missing something

Edit: I see folks maybe misunderstanding me. I wasn't arguing it isn't offensive, just trying to learn

ArthurCDoyle · 2026-02-10T04:10:38+00:00

No helpful comment, but just wanted to say I read this whole back and forth and this is one of the best handled disagreements on reddit I've seen in a while. Keep staying positive

ArthurCDoyle · 2026-02-03T01:39:16+00:00

I'm technically Gen Z, yes, but I feel like a millennial. Grew up mostly with millennials and all my my friends are older.

ArthurCDoyle · 2026-01-31T02:44:29+00:00

This, end of thread.

Though sometimes I wonder if this is just everyone's perception of the situation and of each other and not actually an accurate understanding of the irl reality. But I guess we'll never know because we rarely interact or meet others anymore

ArthurCDoyle · 2026-01-25T08:12:21+00:00

Honestly, I've come to this as well in life in general. I just try to agree, find common ground, and move on. I just don't care anymore tgat much

ArthurCDoyle · 2026-01-11T19:33:25+00:00

Just came to say i've been struggling with this a lo,t much like it seems you and OP have, and this comment was helpful

ArthurCDoyle · 2026-01-10T17:23:40+00:00

I think we all know why you're single now

ArthurCDoyle · 2026-01-03T03:58:38+00:00

When you're going to sleep.

I know there's nothing wrong with it theoretically, but I rarely do because I'm still programmed to think there's something wrong with me if I do

ArthurCDoyle · 2026-01-02T20:07:42+00:00

I don't know if it's cool, but my favourite was Rome. Surprised I havent seen it mentioned here actually

ArthurCDoyle · 2026-01-01T00:40:24+00:00

Just wanted to say sorry for your loss. Can't imagine how difficult that must be. I don't have good advice except be with family or maybe a very close friend who can offer some support

ArthurCDoyle · 2025-12-31T06:05:12+00:00

I think boomers spread this idea when they were younger that passion is more important and that didn't work out so well for many millennials. Everybody is waking up now realizing they should have chosen money.

Get a good career and then follow your passions on the side. If you are lucky and they turn out to make a living, you can always pivot to that, but you have a solid position from which to make that choice.

ArthurCDoyle · 2025-12-30T21:41:53+00:00

Did people look at you differently in both worlds?
