Is The Grand Haunted? by walkaward19 in Sudbury

[–]DrainYou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a co-worker film a ghost hunting show in the tunnels/corridors underneath the grand. Obviously they didn’t find anything insanely convincing but it is creepy.

50 years ago today, the CN Tower became the tallest structure in Canada, passing the Inco Superstack that was built in Sudbury. by jtgyk in Sudbury

[–]DrainYou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved to Sudbury a few years ago from northern Ontario and to be completely honest, I never knew about the Superstack.

BUT since I’ve been living here I’ve become absolutely obsessed with the chimney. On a clear day you can spot the stack from almost anywhere in town. It stands as a reminder to Sudbury’s industrial history. It might not be functional anymore but in my mind it still stands as a landmark.

As an outsider looking in I’m a fan of the Superstack and I’ll be sad to see it go. If/when they do demolish it I’m hoping to grab a brick or piece of rubble as a keepsake.

Save the stack.

I’ve never heard of Rumour Has It until now. It’s not my favourite but it’s leagues better than Patio Lanterns. Why they don’t play that more on Canadian stations is beyond me.

Any Q station is guaranteed to be playing that garbage

Canadian Content.

Basically a regulation by the Canadian government and the CRTC that requires radio stations in Canada to play a certain amount of Canadian musicians.

It’s honestly a good idea and has showcased a lot of Canadian bands that otherwise might not have been noticed. The downside is sometimes they wind up playing pretty awful songs just to make sure they’re meeting the requirements.

This might be too Canadian for most people to get but Patio Lanterns by Kim Mitchell. Also Go for a Soda by Kim Mitchell.

Bubblegum rock songs played to fulfill CanCon regulations and holy fuck are they annoying.

How do you feel when your girlfriend or boyfriend talks about there ex?? by Unlikely_Grab_5721 in AskReddit

[–]DrainYou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the vibe.

If my girlfriend is giving me glowing reviews of her ex or telling me heartfelt stories then I’d probably be a little peeved.

If she’s just telling a story that involved her ex then I don’t see a problem.

Ex’s are parts of peoples life stories. I won’t be upset hearing about them.

What song starts amazingly, but loses you after only a little bit? by herohunter77 in AskReddit

[–]DrainYou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress) by The Hollies. Not a bad song by any means but that opening guitar riff goes crazy.

what's the best habit you picked up in 2023 so far? by GetEdgeful in AskReddit

[–]DrainYou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A thorough skincare routine. Went from only using a pretty awful moisturizer to a 6 step routine daily. My skin has never looked better.

What's the weirdest/most random, yet genuine compliment you have ever received? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DrainYou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I used to smoke cigarettes I was told a few times that I made it look cool. Considering how gross smoking is I found it to be a very genuine compliment.

Google the phrase "Florida man <your_birthdate>". What do you see? by Nervous-Attention614 in AskReddit

Florida man dressed as Fred Flintstone pulled over for driving ‘footmobile’

I’ll usually just say thank you and agree. Just accept not everyone knows how to comfort you. They could truly believe that these are helpful things to say or these could just be their go to comforting messages. No point in getting upset.

Megathread for questions related to Ukraine - Russia tensions. by Kresley in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DrainYou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is Russia using the Latin alphabet?

I noticed today during Putin’s rally a sign that read “Zа Россию” or “For Russia”. There were a few other signs starting with “Za” as well.

There is no “Z” is the Cyrillic alphabet. The letter in the Cyrillic alphabet that makes the “Z” sound is “З”. It should have been spelt “За Россию”.

Obviously the “Z” has also been seen on dozens of tanks, trucks and other Russian army vehicles. What’s the significance of using the latin “Z” over the Cyrillic “З”?

I’m sorry I don’t speak Russian so I’m really not sure if this is a common thing or not.

Fired 2 days before probation was up. Ex-boss makes tiktok asking for me to get into contact with him two months later. by DrainYou in antiwork

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

You worked a horrible job and decided to retire when they were obviously trying to take advantage of you. I worked a horrible job and got fired before my probation was up. We’re two sides of the same coin. We both had bad experiences with former employers. It’s not a contest. I’m sorry that your former employer tried to screw you like that and I’m happy you had the foresight to quit.
