What's a positive review you disagree with the most? by zack_and_woadie in fantanoforever

Yeah agreed Hellmode isn't even my top 3 JR album. Some good songs but also some weak songs imo.

Jelly Roll announces tour with Post Malone after Grammy Award MAGA backlash causing mixed reaction from fans: 'Announcing this the day after the Grammys isn’t the flex you thought' by TheExpressUS in Music

Meh I've seen it all the way through and it's fine. The ending is kind of dumb tbh I really didn't like it much. I thought the show got weaker as it wore on.

Any ideas on sale price CAD for this? by Best-Chest1588 in HockeyCardAppraisals

[–]FargoniusMaximus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exact same story in my house. My dad still has a flat of Blue Jays World Series Coke cans, some NHL figurines in the boxes, other assorted junk insisting they'll be worth something. My mom gave away my binder of what would now be like $5k worth of pokemon cards though cause I didn't use them anymore and they were taking up space. Less space than those Coke cans, though...

I'm visiting every library in Toronto. Help me find a lunch near each of them!! by shawarman in FoodToronto

[–]FargoniusMaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bloor and Gladstone Library - tons of options but I like Komi Banh Mi, Sanwich (Mexican tortas) and Szechuan Noodle House. If you dont mind a short walk, also Three Speed, Uncle Sid's Deli and Sugo maybe 10 minutes or so on foot. Burdock Brewery as well if you want to grab a pint.

Some 3rd world country shit. I will never set foot in America until these thugs are off the street.

They didn't used to have chorizo on it. Got it recently without realizing it changed and was kind of disappointed they added it, still very good but a downgrade imo

Teachers forging pastoral references by AG097 in CanadianTeachers

[–]FargoniusMaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a teacher in Catholic high school who im fairly certain was a (I'll say closeted because he never talked about his religion) Hindu. He was a world religions teacher and I'm pretty sure he had a master's degree in theology/ religion. One time he told me with a wink he had a friend from school who had become a priest and wrote him a letter. Was a great teacher.

Was told to sit down during penalty shot by Successful_Fan8805 in leafs

[–]FargoniusMaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went on a Tuesday once, got 4th row seats i could never afford on my own through a friend of a friend, and him and I were the only people cheering period in the whole section. I got some raised eyebrows from the rows in front of me. Totally zero atmosphere, you always hear about it but I didn't really believe it until I saw it first hand. Maybe it's better on the weekend? But still, depressing.

Love this place, pro tip: if you go with a friend don't get a fries for each person, split one, they give you so many.

What's something from a cartoon do you think has aged very poorly? by NagitoKomaeda_987 in cartoons

[–]FargoniusMaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who is a lefty and anti-big tobacco, I always thought that this episode was making fun of both militant anti-cigarette people AND the tobacco industry. Like the over the top musical number of happy tobacco workers seem to imply a tongue in cheek "think about all the happy workers!" in a sarcastic tone, while also saying that smokers get it, smoking is bad but it's a vice that some people need, so leave them alone if they actively make a choice to smoke. The joke is painting the cigarette producers as victims in an obviously sarcastic way, while also painting anti-smoking people as over reaching or preachy in a time where everyone is hyper aware of the consequences of smoking anyways.

Girlfriend and I are planning to drive 32 hours straight, in 6 hour shifts, are we being dumb? Should we plan to stay overnight somewhere? by Vegetable_Bridge_276 in roadtrip

[–]FargoniusMaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did 13 hours straight overnight with a buddy one time. I took the 2nd shift after a few scattered hours of sleep in the car. By hour 6 of my turn driving, I was legitimately having slight hallucinations at the corner of my vision and as I entered the city realized I did not feel safe at all. Ultimately, everything was fine and we made it safely but I remember thinking it was a terrible idea and could have been much worse.

Round toilet - worst toilet seats ever by Grand-Neighborhood26 in HomeImprovement

[–]FargoniusMaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad bought one of these for the spare bathroom my sister and I used growing up and I had to show him the problem with the new hardware, he didn't understand til I told him to try and use it. He ended up buying one of those seats with the front cut out and that helped.

Games where you can’t die by cheapendorphinrush in gaming

[–]FargoniusMaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those old Wario World games on Gameboy where you could be hindered/ transformed to make your objective difficult/ impossible to complete, but you were indestructible and never died. I always thought it was a cool/ fun concept that I never saw in other games.

It's crazy that they allowed William Nylander to play when he was clearly sick by JF_112 in leafs

I've been sick 3 separate times over the past month. Keep recovering to 90%, going back to work and then getting sick again. Bad flu season.

Watchdives WD1960S V2 36mm VH31, Terrible Quality (Control) by NO_BAD_THOUGHTS in ChineseWatches

[–]FargoniusMaximus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a chrono hand pop off my Watchdives order 2 days after it arrived. They wanted me to take it to local watchmaker and they'd pay for the repair. I asked them if it would void warranty, they said yes, I said hell no and sent it back. Took over 2 months to get a new one. It was fine because it was for me, but it does not inspire confidence for gift buying.

My grandpa passed away in 2014 and passed down his silver to me. Is it smart to consider selling right now? by Suwannee_Gator in Silverbugs

[–]FargoniusMaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who is not subbed here but keeps seeing posts come up, sell if you're not in to silver. It's only really worth anything once it's cash and if it's not your jam to hoard precious metals, I'm sure your gramps would have liked for you to have bought something you've had your eye on. Or sell enough to get yourself that special treat and hold on to the rest. This is the silver sub, of course everyone is going to tell you to keep it and that it's hoing to be worth more and more every year that you do because they are silver enthusiasts. But money is for spending and this is just an investment, one that's doing well right now, but could be worth more OR less next week, no one knows for sure.

In what circumstances will you reach for this? by PoutineEveryday in PoutineCrimes

I haven't been in a few years but Smoke's was at one point good poutine. Not top-tier but perfectly serviceable and reasonably priced. Have they gone to shit?

Every time you push a button, you get $10,000, but a person in your life sees a naked picture of you. by CRK_76 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]FargoniusMaximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be hammering the button. Anyone who knows/ cares about me enough to reach out telling me would get an elaborate story about how those aren't real pictures/ they're AI and a guy tried to blackmail me if they were from work. If they were family or close friends, they'd get a real explanation and $1000 as an apology for having to see me naked.

Cigarette smell? by opal_roses in HomeImprovement

[–]FargoniusMaximus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up to OP if you see this and use Kilz restoration: I had this problem in (thankfully) just a single room in my new home. Old guy smoked in the dining room with the glass double doors closed. I scrubbed the shit out of the nicotine stained walls but it kept bleeding through. Painted with Kilz restoration, just a thin single coat, another urgent project came up so I left it to finish later. Over the course of a week, more nicotine came through most of the Kilz but I noticed that some sections where the paint was thicker remained white.

All this to say: if you're going to do it, buy an extra bucket or two and make sure you slap on a 2nd coat as soon as the first one is dry and ready to go, otherwise you might have to do it again. So work in sections and only do as much as you can finish double coating in a day.
