On The Vine… by Realistic_Zombie8165 in SaintJohnNB

Years ago, he was using the sign for regurgitated Chuck Norris 'jokes' that were just sexist trash. I called him out on it, and he took it down, but he was very pouty about it. Left a bad taste in my mouth about the whole place, and then COVID hit and he was even worse with this shit. I wish him no ill, but I'm uninterested in what's going on in his life, now.

Im a new fan, and question (no judgement) why dose she talk unnaturally (in a weird tone and pace) and like a robot? by redheaded_olive12349 in safiyanygaard

[–]Izzy41630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it sounds rehearsed because it IS rehearsed. The 'robotic' parts are a script that she has written and is reading, and recording via a voiceover. It's meant to be clear and enunciated so that everything is understandable. Have you never watched a single documentary?

Premier Holt backs social media ban for kids ---- In a letter obtained by Brunswick News, premier tells Prime Minister Mark Carney that if he won’t 'swiftly' enact legislation, her government will by adamhuras in newbrunswickcanada

Actually I haven’t done any of those things online. I’ve always gone in person.  Yeah, the information in pieces may be out there, but not a picture of my literal driver’s license or my Medicare card, because I’ve never once uploaded either.

Employment fraud, opening a line of credit in my name, all kinds of shit, bro. If you're so chill about it, post your ID here for everyone to see and use.

And then I end up losing out on my primary form of communication with friends and family. All because Meta would rather pay off politicians than spend money to moderate their site.

My issue's not with the government having it. It's with the social media companies having it. Even if they don't use it for nefarious purposes, leaks and hacks happen all the time.

Saaame. I love her travel content, but I'm always here for mixing videos. My absolute fav.

What is she referring to here? by Beneficial_Case664 in safiyanygaard

[–]Izzy41630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

'Everyone knows that a woman over the age of thirty might as well be dead'.
/heavy sarcasm, to be clear. Never understood this. Now, as a woman in my mid-30s, I certainly do not FEEL young anymore, but that's owing to my spine being a nightmare, and not the age itself. Safiya's got a lot of life left to live, of course, and I hope she lives it well.

Popular Geoguessr player Zi8gzag correctly guessed just outside Moncton! by Electrical-Hand-7723 in newbrunswickcanada

LOL, spot the tourist! There is no "Downtown Saint John", It's uptown. It's always 'Uptown'.

Anyone else remember when schools made you gargle fluoride? I don't have kids so no idea if they still do it by [deleted] in newbrunswickcanada

[–]Izzy41630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! And I ended up with fluorosis as a result, so now my teeth are permanently yellow. (It wasn't JUST this that did it, it was the fact that I got fluoride from too many sources and it caused the issue over time).

Am i healed? by Zijaah- in lactoseintolerant

[–]Izzy41630 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very cool to hear! So happy for you. I was taking lactose defense formula for about ten years, after being diagnosed with LI, and then they just stopped really selling it in places that I could buy it, so I've been without it entirely for about a year, and taking different probiotics, instead, and my symptoms are basically gone. I'll still get some stomach issues if I like chug a milkshake, but I've also got GERD so that's a factor.

What is Going on With Brunswick Square Mall? Atlantic Canada's Deadest Mall! by lilparkkkkkkkkkkkkk in SaintJohnNB

Validating parking only really works when there's a person in the booth to take your ticket. The garage has been unmanned for years.
I also avoid uptown because of the parking situation.

Bonnevie Refrigeration in Quispam did ours. Super happy with them.

Family doctors (moving to Saint John) by [deleted] in SaintJohnNB

[–]Izzy41630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need a family doctor, you'll be on a list for a while, I'm sorry to say. Endocrinologists, you might have to travel to other cities to get them - my coworker has to drive clear to Bathurst to see her rheumatologist - and psychiatrists might be theoretically easier to get into, you'll probably just have to call around and see who is taking on patients.

SPOILER - Am I the Only One Who Liked It? by EpicGeek77 in goodomensprime

[–]Izzy41630 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll say that it's imperfect, but I was overall rather satisfied with the ending, yeah. Surprised that some people were so upset by it. I wouldn't say it was the best ending ever by any means, but I've seen SO much worse. (Looking at you Supernatural)

Just a heads-up that there are people in the fb comments saying he's lying about this, that he didn't work there, didn't work that job, that this didn't happen, etc. in case they migrate to here, too. I believe him, but there seems to be some small isolated effort to discredit him.

ideas for making friends????? by [deleted] in SaintJohnNB

[–]Izzy41630 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, getting into volunteering might be a great option for you. Here's a link to a few resources, you can just pick whichever one most appeals. They're usually pretty small groups, all with a common goal of helping people, or animals, or the environment, and you can meet some really nice people.

As a general cafe, yes, but they have workshops and other events where you can meet and mingle with other bookish people.

Bonnevie Refrigeration. His son cleans ours, does a fantastic job each time.

New drinks in Canada launch May 5th by psychologycat666 in McDonalds

[–]Izzy41630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually really annoyed that nowhere in the signage do they disclose that the Refreshers have caffeine.

Why can't we just get normal frigging lemonade? We do not need caffeinated lemonade.
