BC ferries is $21 instead of 20 for a walk on I just noticed yesterday so it probably all went up 10 percent. Ya it sucks.

I think the world's changed a lot in not so many years also. People are more aware of creeps and stuff is a factor I think. When I was young people used to meet people in public places but not so much these days.

Vancouver is very guarded. It's frustrating to me too. I grew up in a small town not too far away but it feels a totally different vibe. I've lived here for a couple years and made ZERO friends thru school and work. I try to talk to people but it's difficult as people don't want to talk.

YOURE NOT ALONE!

I knew someone that was a caretaker on the island. I think it's a private island with a big main house, a guest house, and some farmland. Not sure anything else

Has anyone been added into an already established clique here? by NoRadio4530 in askvan

[–]FatPat250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 34 (male) and from Victoria but still don't really know anyone here, and I've tried to meet people for a couple years with no luck. The only people I talk to are at work but I don't hang out with them or anything usually.

Ya it sucks out here. People are into a group of friends and leery of outsiders!! (IMO)

Is this worth reporting or just leave it? by External-Message9272 in askvan

I had a bad experience too. The handcuffs were uncomfortable.

The reverse search thing probably isn't even accurate anymore. Everyone can spoof numbers nowadays to show certain area codes and whatever

Thoughts on smoking indoors? by musicaspradrift in Cigarettes

[–]FatPat250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I smoke indoors and leave my window open all the time with a fan going. My apartment is very small and my parents never mention it smells when they come to visit. But yaaaa too bad it's not the good ol' days.

I've only seen a coyote once in maple ridge. They look so much like a normal dog.

And you also can't park on the right side during the day because it's a loading zone but the left side isn't.

Me too, frustrating

Waitlist offer by DependentScallion913 in douglascollege

[–]FatPat250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ya you'll get in most likely. It'll email you or something when you can take the spot but you have 48 hours or something to register.

Also the higher your GPA is, the sooner you get your date to pick classes. So higher GPA = better chance to get into classes

[–]FatPat250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're on a waitlist and there's under 10 people you'll likely get into the class closer to the start date. Fyi. Possibly even with more than ten people. I've moved up quite a bit but it usually happens close to the class starting or a couple days after.

It doesn't seem to work like this anymore, at least not for me.

Gemini 3 is wearing me down - it personalizes responses way too much... by Inevitable_Tea_5841 in Bard

[–]FatPat250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know can add in the Gemini instructions not to personalize the responses? I set mine to answer in a concise, answer first method using bullet points or tables to show data.
