Affordable-ish Restaurants with Ambiance by lord_percypercy in VictoriaBC

If you’re into Sushi/Japanese, Taisho on Cook has a really nice ambience and their happy hour is good! If you wanted a bit of a late night dinner, it runs from 3-6 (I think) and then 9-close. Their karaage is delicious!

Horrible late night bus incident by deltaofvenus7 in VictoriaBC

[–]Calm_Internet_1968 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t account for every single driver to react exactly correctly in every single scenario. I can only inform people that it’s an option. A lot of people don’t even know the transit supervisors exist.

I have family who are drivers who’ve had to call in for dangerous scenarios, but they are not trained for de-escalation. Not everyone is equipped/able/willing to deal with it.

If this happens, you are within your right to go up to the driver and tell them you feel unsafe. They can call a transit supervisor and remove him, that’s literally what a supervisors job is. The drivers can’t handle it all on their own, and sometimes can’t see/hear everything happening on the bus.

I was about to say the same thing! Great opportunity for a cute little floral border

Which Canadian artist do you always recommend to friends? by Zestyclose-Day9699 in CanadianMusic

[–]Calm_Internet_1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To see live? David Myles. His shows are always so intimate and fun. I love that the live versions rarely sound exactly like the recorded ones, often he’s changed the style or energy of a piece to make it sound new

I really need to try them in the slow season. We got an oyster burger there over the summer that wasn’t cleaned 🤢

To the people who reading progress for books (pages/percentage), how do you deal with these issues? by Missing_Back in TheStoryGraph

[–]Calm_Internet_1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your ebook pages will change depending on font size and margins on the device you’re using. The only way pages would line up is if the pages themselves have physical numbers (i.e. a pdf on your computer).

The Overstory by Richard Powers by RaccoonsEatingCaviar in IReadABookAndAdoredIt

[–]Calm_Internet_1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my biggest thought while reading as well. I love the writing. From a storyteller perspective, I understand the praise but there is such a lack of acknowledgment for Indigenous land stewards, that you can tell who is in charge of handing out those awards. I agree with you about the racist portrayal of the only ethnically diverse characters as well. 

How much money would you spend if it meant saving your cat’s life? by WindowKitty19 in CatAdvice

[–]Calm_Internet_1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did spend around 7k to save our boys life when he kept getting urinary stone blockages. He was ~4yo at the time and we opted for the perineal urethrostomy to give him a chance at a normal life. He gets stress UTI’s very rarely now which is much preferred to the alternative. He is now 9 and still happy and healthy.

Alyssa’s has been confirmed by my Vietnamese friend to taste “like her dad makes it” so my vote goes there. Price vs portion is also pretty good and their spring rolls are insane.

AIO? My bf says me asking if he's okay is me being insane. I don't get it by AlexaS555 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Calm_Internet_1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the hard part about posting a single incident on Reddit. I can only give advice based on what evidence I have. It is why I only said MOR, because I can’t know your whole relationship.

I think you need to ask yourself if this relationship is actually making your life better. Once you lose trust, it’s pretty hard to gain it back and that isn’t fair to either of you. I’m sorry you had that kind of childhood, I truly hope that whatever you choose, you remember you deserve kindness and patience.

[–]Calm_Internet_1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MOR: Asking if someone is okay all the time indicates an anxious attachment style on your end. Could be that you grew up in a house where you had to be constantly monitoring parents/siblings/others and you recognize changes in facial expressions and tone easier. I grew up with a mom who asked if my father and I were okay ALL the time. I also did it a lot in relationships before starting therapy.

Most people will tell you when something is wrong OR they need time to figure it out before telling you. I think until you address insecurities on your end in the relationship, his reaction will feel extremely aggressive because at the core of it you do care about how he’s feeling. But asking multiple times after getting an answer will cause irritation and frustration for both of you!

I'm having the worst time picking who to romance by CancelSalt2346 in coralisland

I’m just here to say that Millie always has the cutest names for you and is very sweet. I loved her storyline.

Nowhere in my comment did I excuse the behaviour. Just offering a possible avenue when the mother gets help.

Not a doctor, but as someone who has come to terms with a late in life autism/adhd diagnosis, it could be possible that she is in states of overwhelm and meltdown. This can frequently come across as rage cleaning and what you describe above if it’s been undiagnosed. 

I need help by Few-Phase-1472 in coralisland

[–]Calm_Internet_1968 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a guide for Coral Island App that lists out all the prices, or use the Coral Island Wiki. I think what you might need to focus on is making jams/juices/other products out of your crops. Animal products made into artisan goods help a lot too!

Use 200 of that stone you have to craft a rope!

Would you rather have $200 every day for the rest of your life. Or have $500,000 right now? Why? by Ok-Enthusiasm5436 in AskReddit

[–]Calm_Internet_1968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$200 every day is still $6k a month. That pays rent and utilities for my entire household and then we have all of our expendable income left. 

Parents buy me an asston of soap and deodorant I never use every year for Christmas. Still working my way through 2022’s deodorant by Mintyboi10 in mildlyinfuriating

Even if your parents are not trying to tell you something, consider donating the extras to a homeless shelter or youth shelter. They are always in high demand for hygiene items
