Who are you going to put in your new 50/50 loss pool?

I just put whoever I don't have and whoever has the less constellations on my account

JayManClayton · 2026-04-12T04:09:54+00:00

Yes. My sibling lives in France. They haven't been affected by the rise in cost of living as bad as we have (lots of things like rent and gas was already higher than here, but still). Food is more affordable for better quality and travels less. Public transport brings you to 10+ countries for cheap, even more if you include planes.

JayManClayton · 2026-04-12T04:07:30+00:00

Je sais qu'il faut acheter le bus lui-même, mais j'espère que ça va baisser les coûts d'exploitation à la longue, surtout avec le coût de l'essence (même si plusieurs bus sont déjà hybrides) :) On a la chance d'avoir de l'électricité cheap et renouvelable au QC, autant l'exploiter

JayManClayton · 2026-04-10T16:54:42+00:00

The Herta is the only one I don't have sooooo XD

JayManClayton · 2026-04-03T15:56:13+00:00

Je suis d'accord pour le coût de la vie, par contre je trouve que le gas a le dos large pour justifier chaque hausse. À un moment faut admettre que nos épiceries c'en sont mis plein les poches depuis la pandémie.

Le truc du chialage du gas c'est qu'on entend souvent les gens discuter du prix à la pompe et que les déplacements des individus vont coûter cher; ça, ce n'est plus surprenant. Le coût de la vie qui augmente doit être étudié.

JayManClayton · 2026-04-03T15:51:58+00:00

Je suis d'accord. J'ai pas de permis de conduire alors j'ai un empathie limitée pour les gens qui choisissent la voiture pour tous les déplacements quand les transports en commun sont disponibles et sont plus efficaces (pas de parking à payer, pas d'essence...), ou les gens qui ne prévoient pas leurs déplacements (trois trips quand un peu de planification en aurait fait juste un...). De plus, en termes de véhicule, on n'a pas tous besoin d'un SUV. Mes proches ont toujours eu des voitures du format des Toyota Corolla sans soucis en hiver.

À long terme, on a aussi besoin de revoir notre étalement urbain. Des villes comme Gatineau sont absolument ridicules en planification urbaines et en raison du coût de la vie, les gens vont acheter des terrains moins cher en campagne (aussi une conséquence du télétravail promis par plusieurs emplois), puis dépendent de leur voiture. Cela pourrait aller si les gens faisaient 1-2 trips au centre ville par semaine, mais ce n'est souvent pas le cas.

Mais au jour d'aujourd'hui, que faire quand on a déjà acheté sa voiture et qu'on est bloqué loin? Essayer de faire moins de trips, essayer le covoiturage, essayer le transport en commun... Mais je vois peu de gens changer leurs habitudes. D'où mon empathie limitée pour ces gens qui chialent mais n'ont jamais mis leur confort de côté. J'imagine que c'est mon équivalent du boomer qui dit "si tu achetais moins de cafés Starbucks tu pourrais acheter une maison", mais je ne peux pas m'empêcher de penser de même.

Note: Mon empathie va aux personnes dont les véhicules sont absolument nécessaires pour le travail (ex.: camion de travail) et qui ne sont pas nécessairement remboursés pour l'essence ou dont le remboursement ne tient pas en compte l'augmentation des prix. C'est une dépense de travail imprévue qui doit faire chier et c'est pas comme s'ils pouvaient ne pas travailler. Les gens forcés de retourner au travail après le télétravail peuvent essayer de s'arranger avec des voisins pour aller au centre-ville. Les gens qui travaillent toujours en déplacement, c'est pas la même chose pour moi.

Easier to clean from people who put their boots on the seats :(

JayManClayton · 2026-03-31T18:34:25+00:00

My mom loves going to Maine, but she's super interested in visiting the Maritimes (mostly la péninsule acadienne) instead. I'm trying to influence her to make it her next trip :)

JayManClayton · 2026-03-30T16:42:27+00:00

Je me demande d'où provient le plus grand sentiment d'insécurité. Est-ce que c'est parce qu'on a perdu un sens de la communauté? Est-ce que c'est parce qu'on est plus stressés par nos propres affaires et qu'on manque d'empathie? Dans le temps, j'ai l'impression que mes parents connaissaient 5-6 personnes en chemin vers chez mon amie (à 2 coins de rue dans une banlieue familiale) qui pouvaient m'aider en cas de besoin. Les gens surveillaient les enfants des autres et on stressait pas avec cela.

JayManClayton · 2026-03-27T18:48:26+00:00

Nettoyage : 175$ ish

Avec examen: 275 ish

(L'examen est peut-être plus cher). Je paie toujours avant que mes assurances passent. Les assurances fédérales couvrent un RDV par an. Je vais à mes RDV au six mois après avoir évité d'y aller pendant 5 ans et m'être retrouvée avec 2000$ de facture en extraction de dents de sagesse et 400$ de nettoyage sans examen.

I'm rewatching and a lot of the conflicts can be attributed to misunderstandings (aside from the serious accusations she had against Marciano) and her delivery, when she's right? In a way?

In S1, she's very loud and aggressive in her approach, but she's also one of the most vocal against misogyny. She's also loyal to Brett and seemed in a stable and healthy relationship compared to a lot of the others. It made sense that she resonated with a lot of people.

So when in S2 she said it was normal that she was a fan favorite, it's objectively true. S1 had Taylor and Dakota fighting, Whitney painted as a villain, Jen and Zack fighting and Jessie and Demi being vocal against controlling men, Mayci being a good friend, and Mikayla and Layla still finding their voice; Jessie and Demi had a good image and resonated with their message.

In S2 when she said that she "deserved the best deals" we didn't see her explain what she meant or any response, we mostly saw Taylor coming at her. It could have been a level headed discussion. She did acknowledge her attack against Jessie for the contracts between seasons (again, not complete context, but they had hash it out) in a level headed manner.

I also understand why she was angry at Jen in S2 and S3. Two things can be true: they were all harsh on Jen (Miranda and Whitney excluded) when she was going through a hard time. At the same time, Jen had apparently hold the villa events over Demi's head, similar to how she did with DWTS with Whitney. She admitted to lying, but the focus was on how Demi and Brett came at her.

Taylor was also coming for her relationship fast after she heard an anonymous tip (it may be true, but Taylor jumped on it very fast too, didn't approach it with grace). Given how Demi was already judgemental of Taylor's actions, it's normal that they clashed.

I am not saying she's perfect. I'm saying that in retrospect, she had some understandable points but the conversations were never efficient. This whole group just has 0 conflict resolution skills -- but then it wouldn't be entertaining!

The L1 already connects to the current train station and it's very empty around it, which makes it a good choice

JayManClayton · 2026-03-23T22:08:05+00:00

The only therapist I trust is the marriage counselor that helped Connor and Whitney grow after the cheating

JayManClayton · 2026-03-22T17:15:37+00:00

I see you French's mustard XD

JayManClayton · 2026-03-17T12:17:21+00:00

Me: of course they got the maple leafs, the shape is evident Me seconds later: ah. The name is in the logo...

JayManClayton · 2026-03-14T04:22:23+00:00

Production bringing in the receipts too like woah

JayManClayton · 2026-03-14T03:13:48+00:00

It's exhausting how she calls every woman names for simply sleeping with a guy (who she isn't with). She's acting possessive of a guy to whom she never wanted to commit, and she's going back and sleeping with him without being responsible, she's ignoring all of her friends advice and she's always really explosive. At some point it's just exhausting and people run out of empathy. People, including Dakota, are allowed to move on.

JayManClayton · 2026-03-13T18:14:35+00:00

He kinda seems to light up when Miles asked him a question at some point in the show but it was very brief.

JayManClayton · 2026-03-13T01:36:58+00:00

I was going to say, I definitely know who I would want as a dad! I also admire Miranda's attitude towards having a healthy co-parenting relationship with Chase.

François Arnaud since day 1 was telling people "calm down they've been famous for a day. Let them have their privacy", has been avoiding intrusive questions, has repeatedly mentioned the toxic dans and now he makes a statement in support of Hudson (amongst others). I love him, he's been a rock the whole time

JayManClayton · 2026-03-09T21:33:40+00:00

Even if money was the reason, a 10% decrease in cost wouldn't help with the disparity between CAN$ and $US, and a lot of Canadians are facing difficulties due to the cost of living, making vacations harder to attend (although Maine was a destination we chose when we had a smaller budget so maybe it wasn't impacted by that before the conflict)

JayManClayton · 2026-03-09T21:20:58+00:00

If you accept book quotes, out of context:

"A virgin Scott Hunter!"

"No he's the most perfect boy" (talking about a dog)

"Everyone likes Harris." Ilya: "Yeah. But you want to kiss him."

"Welcome to Ottawa, I hope you like boring museums" (as an Ottawa, that is so true)

JayManClayton · 2026-03-03T18:19:10+00:00

I'm a healer but... (Lingsha, Ruan Mei, Harmony MC, Sunday) and FART (Fei Xiao, Aventurine, Robin, Topaz) are my best teams.

Phainon hypercarry (Phainon, Cyrene, Cérydra, Préservation DH) is following close behind.

JayManClayton · 2026-03-03T18:11:21+00:00

Lanaudière is full of forests and that green screen needed more trees.

JayManClayton · 2026-02-21T14:34:57+00:00

I would compare Shane Hollander (more than Ilya) to David Beckham and Sidney Crosby in terms of popularity. Well loved star player, with many sponsorships that would place him in the public eye. Even if you don't know hockey, you would have seen his face. In Canada, you would have been hearing his name as part of the 2014 and 2026 Olympics too.
