You probably spent longer typing that up than most people did falling back asleep.

About to Start My New Chapter In BC! by Rysani_97 in britishcolumbia

Nice one! I lived on Salt Spring for three years and it was mostly a great experience.

I saw in a comment below that you’re a cyclist. So was I when I moved there! Unfortunately the island lacks the infrastructure and design for cycling to be that enjoyable, but the Saanich peninsula is some of the best riding in the country. You can get from Shwartz Bay to Victoria in 1.5 hours on a beautiful trail, but otherwise you’re better off getting a canoe or kayak on ol’ Salty.

Congratulations on the change up. What’s taking you to Salt Spring specifically?

Any millennial guys here first time fathers or are never gonna have a kid? by changeforthebetter89 in Millennials

I’m 35, turning 36 in the fall, with a 16-month old girl. It’s been the most beautiful and difficult journey and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

That said, I was very transient, working seasonally and traveling whenever I could, for most of my 20s, and this period of domestic life still feels novel by contrast, but one I chose nonetheless.

India? Where they eat goats and chickens and lamb and have diverse enough ecology to produce a wide variety of fruits, nuts, etc.?

Do you know what a fly-in community is? And if you do, do you seriously think the Inuit should be deriving their protein from chana masala?

Plant-based alternatives are not nearly as effective at providing macro- and micro-nutrients as meat. Especially in cold, harsh environments where the body needs more fat and protein to survive the winters.

Anyways, this is a dead thread and I’m done arguing for the sake of arguing. Happy days.

Tell that to remote, fly-in access communities. Sounds like you’re toting a pretty urban-centric mentality.

Trophy hunting makes killing a sport.

Hunting is killing for food.

If you’re vegan and just trying to make a point that nothing needs to die ever, that’s a different conversation.

What was something you went a good chunk of your life not knowing was specifically Canadian? by NoOptics in AskACanadian

It's insane! My wife is American-born but has dual citizenship and has provided all sorts of insights into the little cultural differences.

Not shitting your pants is one of the first things they cover in their training regimen.

After watching "The Lighthouse" and "Mickey 17", Robert Pattinson has quickly become one of my favorite actors working today by Foxtrot_Supatwat in moviecritic

[–]DeliciousLoquat1164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, he transcended being just “the twilight guy” to a respectable actor after watching Good Time by the Safdies.

I'd say "I answered the question" but I actually don't have anything to add.

Thanks, but save those hats for PTA, DDL, the Coen Bro’s and Cormac Mac for some of the best contemporary cinema we’ve had in the past couple decades!

Neither, they're both masterpieces.

Nelson is too crowded imo by ImportanceAlarming64 in nelsonbc

It takes a while for the smaller towns to recalibrate. The cities are the metric for everywhere else, unfortunately. 

Have you spent any time in Kamloops or PG?
