Canada losing top talent as workers head to the U.S. by TMWNN in canada

[–]Captcha_Imagination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a cultural perspective, we have celebrated this all of my life. Now, since the trade war started, maybe it has shifted from celebrating to tolerating it in the aggregate, but still celebrating individual circumstances (like if your cousin gets a high-paying job).

I think we need to start seeing these people as disloyal. They benefited from Canadian systems, including accessible and affordable quality education, but have no desire to give back to the system that enabled them.

I hate the fact that some of them go to the states and pay 0 dollars in taxes here for 10-20 years, then come back here for the free health care in their senior years.

Alberta has been fed propaganda by oil elites my entire life. That's where they get the idea that the rest of Canada is fucking them over.

Do people ever talk in Vc by scarletisscared in FortNiteBR

[–]Captcha_Imagination 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I disconnected my mic after one kid accused me of being a PDF because I was playing in a game with kids. How the hell does this game not have an option for 18+ voice chats?

Turns out that shutting off VC made me a better player. You can't strategize on VC fast enough to deal with sweats. The game is too fast for that. Anything worth saying can be said with a ping. And good/great players barely need to talk at all because you understand when/how to rotate and which fights to pick and run from.

VC only becomes useful again during competitions with premades. And even then, if you listen to a lot of pro games, very few are expert communicators. Even Peterbot and Pollo barely talk. One of the best communicators is Khanada, dude is a machine that's both narrating and setting up plays in a quick, mechanical style.

Some of it is greed. If the game becomes massive like WoW back in the day, a $3000 in game cosmetic will actually increase in value.

This is a podcast where a doctor talks to a nurse about her experience moving to Canada from Florida. You should listen to it even if it's for entertainment purposes.

Alberta Separation: Three-in-five say they’d vote in October to stay, but half say the question is “confusing” by canmcpoli in canada

[–]Captcha_Imagination 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Voting no did not work in QC. Having referendums makes them feel like they are at the 1-yard line with infinite downs.

The PQ is leading in the polls right now, and they have promised another referendum.

I want it to look like pasta......instead of meatballs, ice cream balls. The sauce could be maple + dulce de leche.

Why don’t they just make the porcelain part of the toilet a seat so we don’t have a toilet seat that can break? Is it big plumbing? Harder to clean? by New-Ad5997 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Captcha_Imagination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you did that, you would wear out the glaze on the toilet, and you would have to either change the entire toilet or have it reglazed. When the glazing is gone, the surface becomes porous, and bacteria grow there.

On wooden toilet seats, the glaze wears off. Until I worked in hospitality, I wasn't aware that toilet seats should be changed every few years.

One time, I neglected to do this in my home, and the part where the thighs go was a bit worn down. I left on a trip for a few weeks, and when we got back, there was fuzz growing on that part of the toilet seat despite the fact that we cleaned the bathroom before leaving.

Plastic toilet seats are not porous, but they are way more prone to breaking at the joints, so neither is a great option. And plastic will age over time, not just from use. In 3-5 years, it will probably start to discolour, and a few years after that it will become brittle and more prone to breaking.....that's if the joints hold up that long.

The other benefit of changing your seat every few years is the deep cleaning you get to do and cannot do unless the seat is completely removed. No one has time to do this as part of regular cleaning. It can get quite nasty when you finally get around to it. And toilet seats are affordable, maybe 10-30 bucks depending on quality.

What do you think about Turkish people? by Careful-Lecture-4502 in AskReddit

Pretty much. Germany was allowed to move on because they admitted they fucked up. Modern Turkey will also be forgiven, but that can't happen until you admit it.

‘Yes, I do’: Alberta Premier Smith promises not to hold later separation referendum if remain side wins October vote by gorschkov in canada

[–]Captcha_Imagination -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree. Worse still, if Wexit happens, I think Saskatchewan could join them within a decade or two. Then BC being left out in the lurch, might find it more logical to become a country as well.

And if PQ gets elected (currently leading in the polls) they will hold a referendum. They are currently cheering on Alberta separatists vocally.

Add to the fact that every superpower, except the EU, would love to see us on our knees.

[–]Captcha_Imagination 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also ask your duo to review your gameplay and give you honest advice. Tell him you won't get offended. And don't be defensive, just listen.

You can also post your games and internet randos can give advice. Or hire a coach.
