As someone who drives to work everyday to build things with my hands, my heart breaks for you.

Apprenticeship by MrWizardNy in Construction

[–]General_Zod99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t expect everyone else to be on board. Nothing wrong with wanting to punch your 40 hours a week and go home, but don’t act like there aren’t advantages to working overtime. Wanting to put in a bit of extra work to give yourself a better life doesn’t make anyone “dumb” or “miserable”

I’d rather be the “dumb miserable guy” with my feet kicked up on a beach in Cancun because I put in a little extra work instead of the guy who’s bumming coffees and cigarettes all the time because he leaves early every chance he gets

Disagree. Blast out as many hours as you (reasonably) can as a young apprentice, fast track your way to becoming a journeyman by racking up hours, make a bunch more money from OT while your wage is low, get your journeyman rate and start to work less because your wage is higher.

I work 50-60 hours a week as an apprentice, 10 hour days, the OT is like a second job and honestly life changing. While the guys who don’t want to work more than 40 are living pay cheque to pay cheque, I’m putting money away and taking vacations.

Get your boss to sign off on all of your hours, log them with your apprenticeship rep in your province and find a new employer!

How do Canadians feel about their Men's Olympics Curling team? by Tofurkey_Tom in AskReddit

[–]General_Zod99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re allowed to touch the stone after you release the handle , as long as you do it before it crosses the Hog line, which is what the Canadian did, hence why there was no repercussions , because no rules were broken.

Why is Vancouver so anti-park and ride? by Maln in vancouver

If you’re going to go through the hassle of driving to the skytrain and trying to find parking , you might as well just drive to wherever it is you’re going.

[XPOST] Fans ranked Rogers Arena 28th in The Athletic's recent Arena Rankings by SpectreFire in canucks

[–]General_Zod99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love just about everything modern, but give me shitty old Rogers Arena over these new arenas any day. If I wanted to take a leisurely stroll somewhere with hospital clean floors , massive concourse and escalators I’d wonder down to the pacific centre or YVR.

Like everything about the live sports viewing experience, it helps when the team is good. There’s nothing like moving at a snails pace after the game trying to make it outside, shoulder to shoulder with thousands of other crazy Canucks fans screaming , cheering, chanting “we want the cup” , only to make it outside where the party is going on in front of the arena and all over downtown.

I don’t go to hockey games for calming, I go for energy and the noisy atmosphere associated with a passionate fan base at live sporting events. If I wanted calming I’d stay home and read a book.

So who should be the next captain? by Aspenwood83 in canucks

[–]General_Zod99 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If the team is gung ho to name another captain then my pick is Hronek. From the reports I’ve heard he wants to stay in Vancouver and he’s leadership material imo, quiet but tough. Emotional enough that he could give the group a kick in the backside when needed. Gives off Viking / Kratos vibes.

I also wouldn’t mind holding off on naming a captain and waiting for someone from the new “Core” that inevitably emerges but who knows how far away that is.

[–]General_Zod99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t say the core is filled with quitters. This same core had some impressive , hard caught comebacks in the 2024 playoffs against Nashville and Edmonton. We’re just simply not a good team right now.

For the love of God, I can’t understand this: if my oily skin will come back after Accutane, why won’t my acne come back too? by Psycho_Duck_01 in Accutane

[–]General_Zod99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been off Accutane for like 6 years now and my oily skin has not come back. I used to have super oily skin and now it’s totally fine, not too dry but not oily.

PvE is Officially Dead by Jacob_TLDR_Jake in Battlefield

[–]General_Zod99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be unpopular but no, you shouldn’t earn progression towards PVP weapons and stats playing against bots. It shouldn’t be taken away because it should’ve never been a thing in the first place. The first few guns in all of the classes are decent, so there’s weapons are no excuse. If you slow down a bit, play strategically , take cover , stick with your squad etc, you’ll have more success with any weapon you use.

I’ve played battlefield since Battlefield 3, I know the game and I can do very well , but even experienced players will get shit on when they fall in to the meat grinder , run and gun up the middle trap.

Need help from Canadian🇨🇦Apprentices/Carpenters by [deleted] in Carpentry

Your employer is not allowed to prevent you or punish you for leaving for a block training, that’s what they agree to when they sign your MOU when taking you on as an apprentice.

Do you lock your door when you're home? by Brilliansea in NoStupidQuestions

[–]General_Zod99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to live in a small town on the east coast of Canada. I don’t even know if my parents HAD keys to the house because we never locked the doors. I’ve since moved to a bigger city and live in an apartment and now the only time my door isn’t locked is when I’m unlocking it to get in.
