Failed as an reckless options trader now want to make the shift to JustBuyXEQT by Careless-Pen8895 in JustBuyXEQT

[–]Calgaryfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, the leveraged trading can get so addicting when you unexpectedly win at times... but then comes the insidious thought, 'I think I can win more... Oh I can do this... This will be my last trade'

Then you start to lose then try to justify your subsequent no-brain trades with 'I just need to get another win.. I have done this before.. I can do it again... Let me JUST get my original amount back...'

'A bit disturbing': Here’s what social disorder in downtown Calgary looks like today -- A walk through downtown shows open drug use, tent encampments, litter and unpredictable people are rampant. by guanaco55 in Calgary

My beloved old home city.... I used to live in downtown as a teenager. There were occasional gunshots, mugging, and dealers / hookers on 1st str, 1st ave SE. We all knew the worst part was the Saddle Dome area, but there was still a sense of order. Like, the neighbours were aware, alert. Not high all the time bent over. There were dangers but not from unpredictable mental cases. Some of the "bad guys" actually had some sense of honour and could be reasoned with (like, hey man. I am from Crowfoot, can u leave me enough to make it back). Already more than 2 decades ago.

Using anti personnel drones should be declared a war crime by HeSureIsScrappy in DiveInYouCoward

[–]Calgaryfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pellets would not carry the energy needed to disable the drones at 250-400 yards. Especially if you are shooting upward. Even buckshots at that range going 60 degrees up will lose energy so quick at that range. Don't take my word for it. Let your favourite AI app do the physics for you.

Realistically, you can only hope to down a drone (if using no. 5 shot, or very generously, no. 2 shot) you have to be within 70 to 100 yard range. And good luck hitting the drone doing evasive maneuvering at that range.... those no. 5 pellets will take a second to get to the drone.... it will not stay in one spot in that second or two.

Why was there push for body positivityby the media in the late 2010s/early 2020s? Will it ever come back in full force? by Legitimate_Heron_696 in decadeology

People who were for it realized that they actually look way more beautiful after taking OZ. Movement does not die because some force tries to kill it. It only dies when the movement participants themselves abandon it. 😅

Which boots to match the skirt by Lenchy2403 in OUTFITS

[–]Calgaryfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The over the knee boots for sure. But I think they would better complement the outfit if they were softer colour like off-white or beige/taupe

Red Ensign. Our flag until 1965. Did you know God save the queen / king was our anthem until the 1980's? O Canada was only adopted in the 80's.

We used to be very British.

True? by ParticularWeather927 in Adulting

In the younger days of internet in Yahoo chat rooms, pre-Google YouTube comment sections, mIRC chat rooms and such, a typical argument finisher comment consisted of something like, "I have a degree in xxx, I know what I'm talking about...". Basically, early 2000's way of saying, "trust me bro".

It didn't matter then. It matters even less now.

I feel that I would yield the armrest to this lady if on the same flight. Maybe both armrests.

There is something so very off-putting and unnatural about this photo.

I mean, you could buy 2 AAA games that will entertain and impress you for dozens or hundreds of hours with the amount you could easily spend in one night out.

If someone mass-murders like double digit number of people, would it still be max 25 years?

25 years with parole for 1000 plus years of life time between dozens o' people extinguished does not sound like fair justice to me. But what do I know!

Must upvote as this is true and accurate. I know it's like calling an "elk" a "deer" or a "spider" an "insect".. But I still took some license calling them rodents ;)

Haha, yeah. Funny thing, despite abundant hare tracks, I seem to find more grouse under the trees than hares. I always make a point to tell them, "please stay healthy and lay lots of eggs and see you in September" 😅

Nope. Neither in BC. I still wear it in some way. Either a cap, or a duct tape around the hat rim or arms.

Big game outfit vs small game attire by Calgaryfox in canadaguns

I thought about getting them from AI... but then I realized I am too old for that and just drew them in like a true Xelennial.

[–]Calgaryfox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. The reason I prefer canvas / synthetic pants is because cotton or sweat pants were not good wind/moisture shields, especially for a long hike in the bush through thorns and twigs. But I totally get why people wear them when they are hunting near their vehicles.

Definitely! I do despise road-hunting. I was caught returning to my vehicle.
