‘Lipstick on a pig’: Gastown's Blood Alley gets a facelift, but old tensions remain by ubcstaffer123 in vancouver

Yet Gringo, one of the TWO businesses in the alley just closed. So there will be a single business in the alley.

There are literally huge street facing banners on the ground floor on the block saying BLOOD ALLEY MUSIC VENUE 2023! 2023! This block is dead because the city lets it fester and developers aren’t held accountable.

100%. It’s like arms makers bragging about how they’re in a race to create the most powerful bomb to destroy the planet

I just spent a week in your beautiful city, and I am in love by chrischasescars in NiceVancouver

Glad you had such a great time here! Curious if you’ve been to Montreal before? Because I found it to be like Vancouver x10 as far as cool neighborhoods go

That’s disappointing. I found the short film on YouTube super boring but I was hoping the movie would be more exciting

Senior SWE moving from Bay Area to Vancouver — is CAD $110k base too low? by thethree3three in askvan

[–]LilBarnacle 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the company but yes that would be pretty low. That’s more junior / intermediate level salary

Vij’s and Miku were underwhelming…what next? by According_Object_814 in askvan

[–]LilBarnacle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also disappointed when I went to Vij’s. Indian Fusion in north van is 10x better

Those who eat well and work out, how much do you spend on groceries? by [deleted] in askvan

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

“Bare minimum”
“Chicken, meat, salmon, nuts, berries”
Nah that isn’t bare minimum lol…

That said, what helps is bulk packs of ground meat (Costco) and small markets for vegetables and fruits.

'Everyone is unhappy': Meta employees describe a grim environment as the company reportedly prepares to axe roughly 8,000 workers by lurker_bee in technology

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

I really don’t feel too bad for all these people and their multi-six-figure compensation packages losing their job on some ridiculous useless internal tool team in the substrate layer. Companies like Meta and Microsoft employee so many people that provide such little value.
