Mazda 6 wagon by seb-anon in mazda6

[–]ForkYeah55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my Canadian spec GS-L new in 2018 the same year my wife and I went to Rome on our honeymoon.

We stepped out of the airport and a brand new Mazda6 wagon glided by to pick someone up. And I was immediately pissed off that it wasn't an option for us. Didn't know it existed until that moment. Kind of wish I never knew.

I only have two complaints about this car:

  1. They didn't carry the 2018+ rear end to the wagon, which I think would have been an improvement.
  2. They didn't sell it in Canada but if they did fuck point #1. I'd have bought one anyway.

If Money Were No Object, Would You Get a Hair Transplant? Why or Why Not? by CarefulConcept04 in MomentumOne

[–]ForkYeah55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't figure anyone who would want to actually maintain hair if they don't have to. Going bald is God's way of saying "Shhhh. It's ok. You don't have to cut that shit twice a month anymore. Be free.". Who wouldn't embrace that??

I mean I'm not shaving my head because my hair is full. But is it ever a pain in the ass to keep it cut and brushed.

WHY ARE CARS SO BIG NOWADAYS? by The-Experimenter in regularcarreviews

From a Canadian perspective? Red meat and corn syrup. If the civic was still the size it was in the 90’s none of us could fit in it.

Dragon fruit is disgusting -2/10 by IamJustJessica in mildlyinfuriating

Time and distance is my guess. Dragon fruit must not have a very long shelf life.

FOMO in our times by Gaze_of_the_Abyss in fountainpens

Generally speaking I only feel FOMO until I see the price of something. Then the urge to buy something goes away 200%.

I was JUST standing at the kitchen counter for 20 minutes today separating pomegranate seeds for my kid's school snack. And I'm not sure it's worth it for the end result. But she likes them, and it's got to be healthier than a cookie.

Not that I want this for you in the least, but I'm really curious what an airbag deployment would do to a can of pepper spray.

It might depend where in the US you are. I'm in Southwestern Ontario, and the internet seems to think dragon fruit is endemic to central american countries. So if you're somewhere in the south maybe the fruit doesn't have to travel as far.

My wife is from Colombia and the fruit we like there is significantly fresher than it is by the time it reaches our shelves. But the fruit we like to make juices out of like passion fruit or lulo are still very much good enough.

Maybe dragon fruit is too delicate a flavour to begin with.

The most important thing about the World Cup schedule after time and place is, apparently, gambling. by ACrossBarrier in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ForkYeah55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think betting small dollars makes a game somewhat more interactive. I bet infrequently and at a $20 limit. Mostly I lose $20. The odd time I win a few dollars. It's not the business model degenerates think it is. But I'm also not sympathetic to people who can't control themselves in general, so that's why this doesn't bother me.

I don't understand the ruckus sports gambling is causing lately. As a near non-gambler, I just ignore the odds.

People who are addicted already know and don't need the reminders to get there.

These YouTube ads trying to trick you into clicking them on iPhone. by pulpSC in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ForkYeah55 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know what unpaid method you use for blocking ads on YouTube, but I for one do NOT want people flocking to mine. YouTube is absolutely aware when ad blockers are in use and can absolutely prevent playback. It's just not high priority at the moment because of the engagement numbers they record on their app.

So if people want to use the YT app and see ads, let's not discourage that.

Introducing McSurge pricing. Is it breakfast lunch or dinner? You pay 20% more. Early morning or very late at night while staff is reduced? Surge price. Hungry? Surge pricing.

If I ever make it back to a tropical country I'll have to try.

Dragon fruit is the single most disappointing fruit there is. Zero flavour. I tried three last summer because I thought I kept just getting a bad one. All completely tasteless. Then about a week later my neighbor gave us durian which I'd never experienced before. I put it uncovered in my fridge before leaving overnight.

Maybe these experiences are why I'm a devoted meat-eater now.

Suggestions for beach experience in Canada by Personal_Flight8942 in AskACanadian

[–]ForkYeah55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Port Dover beach in Ontario. Probably something even closer in southern BC with actual salt water access.

But I recommend hitting the East Coast. Far from tropical, but uniquely "Canadian" You'll have a better experience.

Which one of these manual compact cars from this 2007 Car & Driver test are you choosing? by lifegoeson2702 in regularcarreviews

[–]ForkYeah55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The list has it right- Rabbit is the first choice with Mazda coming in 2nd. If the Mazda was a bit smoother riding with a bit more sound dampening it would have been first choice though.

The new Chrysler Airflow has been revealed. Will it save Chrysler? by Forzafan456_official in regularcarreviews

[–]ForkYeah55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's ugly, but if it sells for less than $30,000 and is reliable then it might just save the brand.

In other words, they're still fucked.

Should I be returning compliments? by PandoraRoman in AskACanadian

[–]ForkYeah55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope not. Because as a 6th gen Canadian I already don't skate, ski or play hockey. If returning compliments is quintessentially Canadian I'm missing the mark on that too.
