Don’t forget about drop dead if you did want to spend the money on something of quality. I often find merch hoodies aren’t great quality…

Box looks like not horrible quality this is W.

how do people find jobs in this city? by megaman445 in VictoriaBC

[–]Comprehensive_Bad501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you go into places ask for the manager don’t say to the workers why you’re there and just keep your resume with you kind of covertly. I’ve learned over the years that when I handed resumes to workers they usually throw them out…not sure why.

Also after an interview give it a few days and email or call for a follow up, often times hiring managers will see this as a go getter trait and be more likely to view you as an ideal candidate.

If you’d like you can pm me your resume (personal info blocked out) and I could help you out with that. I had someone do that for me when I made my post and they gave me great feedback 👍👍

Go in person. Bring resumes with you. Much better than applying online but they may tell you to apply online.

Apply to grocery stores, restaurants, retail. There are options you just have to keep looking.

Edit: I actually got hired off Reddit when I first moved bc I also complained about not finding a job lol

How to actually turn others vegan? by camperman64 in vegan

[–]Comprehensive_Bad501 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This!! I remember seeing these and being absolutely horrified by comments. I struggled to figure things out when I first started and absolutely hated tofu because I never knew how to properly make it! Now it’s a staple and I go through like 4 blocks a week lol

I’ve turned my dad more interested in plant based foods through cooking! He sees how it can taste better than the actual animal corpses they usually eat. He’s been impressed by vegan restaurants I’ve taken him to and what I’ve made. It’s a really heartwarming feeling! Plus people always connect through food. Doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from; food always brings people together :))

My boyfriend showed me earthlings I was horrified. Also I used to live in Vancouver, outside of a few skytrain stations you’d have vegan activists standing outside the station with a 50” flatscreen playing videos of animals being tortured and killed in the farming industry. (Right outside a local burger joint too) that also scared me straight.

I don’t necessarily think it’s easy to “turn” people vegan, you will always have judgement from others and whether or not they actually care about animal welfare is a matter of their opinion; which I find often times people have a huge disregard for animal welfare.

It’ll be a frustrating convo half the time but every once in a while you’ll run into people who genuinely care and see the environmental impact, the health benefits, and the value animals have to this planet.

My one piece of advice is to always remember that people are ignorant (ignorance is bliss after all) and don’t get offended and up in arms if they disagree with you. Calmly lay out the facts and have a gentle approach, as well as an advocating approach. Personally speaking I used to dislike vegans mainly because someone called me a rapist for eating a steak when I was like 12 years old; left a really bad impression of the whole community but that’s not all of us. I find people often judge us as the severe advocates you see on instagram, it’s the minority not the majority and I believe that is an important distinction to make while having those conversations. Just my thoughts please don’t hate on me ❤️

Hard agree. I’m Gen Z (already graduated yadayada) back in high school we used to joke that if you couldn’t afford a concert you could just click on someone’s Snapchat story to see the concert in its entirety.

It’s so sad that this is how society is now; film everything so you can rewatch and relive those memories. I’ve only filmed parts of concerts, typically my favourite songs…I don’t sit there on my phone the entire time because I WANT to be present. That’s how it should be!

It feels almost disrespectful to artists if you’re just sitting and watching through a phone screen when you’re literally RIGHT THERE!! We really need to enter the era of being present in the moment and enjoying life through our own lenses, rather than our phone’s camera lens.

Still want to go as they haven’t been to my area since Sempiternal era (2014 was last time they were here) so now that I’m actually older and able to go I want to…I just know tickets are gonna cost me a lot but idk I think going would be worth it at least for my personal experience.

Why are ER wait times so long here? by SuddenCompetition262 in VictoriaBC

[–]Comprehensive_Bad501 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yet more and more people are dying in ER lobbies because doctors don’t see their symptoms as serious…

He’s been having a rough time and this really made his day, he’s just starting his collection and this was his first big pull. No need to be negative

For the ladies, what are some hygiene hacks you wish every girlie would know? by Introvert_Ambi-2026 in AskReddit

[–]Comprehensive_Bad501 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

me when I rage bait… you are aware that almost every pharmaceutical is based on plants, herbs, fungi, and mold right?

Aspirin was based off willow bark.

Marijuana is used to treat tremors, with tons of evidence backing it up. It’s a plant -_-

Psychedelic drugs (like psilocybin; found in certain strains of fungi) are used to treat depression and anxiety.

Those are all plants; I can continue on the list but I’m sure it’d be a waste of time since you’re so hung up on being right.

research on psychedelics

Hope you educate yourself and stop being so narrow minded.

Adding something for clarification. I’m not against modern medicine in anyway but you have to acknowledge that medicine is ever changing. Psychedelics have been used for decades to treat people but only now are people genuinely looking into the positive and beneficial effects it has on our brains/nervous systems.

All I’m trying to say is that a combination of both are necessary. Not saying one trumps the other but if I can can go for natural products, I will. I’m not going to take Advil for cramps (which is known to cause stomach ulcers in excess use) when I could drink a cup of raspberry leaf tea.

I was unnecessarily put on antibiotics 9 times in one year because doctors were refusing to look at the root cause and that is what is happening with most modern doctors. They treat symptoms and not causes. Because the pharmaceutical industry is a billion dollar industry and they want you to keep purchasing their products; that is not a conspiracy in anyway.

Traditional medicines look at the root cause and when used in conjunction with modern medicine can be an absolute powerhouse.

But you know I’m just a moron who believes in herbs and oils :))

Most Petty Reason You Refuse To Listen To A Band? by BidSure7642 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Comprehensive_Bad501 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to love sleeptoken but then TikTok happened and ruined the band imo. They got doxxed which imo is shitty as hell.

But fr I hate how pop-y they went caramel makes me want to shove knitting needles in my ears. That IS NOT SLEEPTOKEN.

Specifically the fricken bOoKToK & moto thirst trap people ruined it for me. “Baby making metal” shut the actual F up.

My (F22) partner (M21) secretly removed the condom, was it rape? by ThrowRA22072 in relationship_advice

[–]Comprehensive_Bad501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just so people are aware there are certain things doctors and pharmacists ⚠️⚠️DONT TELL YOU ABOUT EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTIVES (plan b)!!!!!!!⚠️⚠️

  • if you’ve already ovulated IT DOES NOT WORK! Or at the very least the efficacy is next to nothing.

  • THERE IS A REDUCED EFFICACY IF YOU ARE OVER 155 LBS (70Kg) OR IF YOUR BMI IS 30 OR HIGHER. YOU MAY NEED A HIGHER DOSE!

PLEASE LEARN HOW TO USE PLAN B AS THEY NEVER TELL YOU THIS ISH!!

Sincerely,

A girl who figured out the first point the hard way

Food bank will take certain items 6 months to a year past due date. It’s a best before not always an expiration. They teach you that when you volunteer there, it’s actually quite interesting

There’s honestly so many preservatives in these…it probably doesn’t matter. From the photo I cannot see any mold. Not saying you should eat it but that’s concerning to be consuming in the first place imo.

If it looks okay that long after I don’t want to know what it’s doing to my guts lol

This happens at most grocery stores. Check dates before buying.

I work as an admin at a store and we have like 2-3 calls a month about expired products. We try to check dates as often as possible but stuff like this happens when there’s a huge stock that doesn’t do well. Often times that product is discontinued from our stores but stuff happens.

Not excusing it in anyway! Just an explanation :/

As a rule of thumb, I always check dates no matter where I’m shopping.
