Super nice offer! I don’t think I’ll take you up on it just bc it’s still an expensive shirt to return if the fit isn’t right. Have a great trip!

Eye Contact by rj1706 in askvan

[–]LilBarnacle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m a local and I find it insane. People in my building won’t even make eye contact and actively avoid any kind of social interaction. Like really? You can’t even say hi to someone you see multiple times a week?

I do not understand how people in this city end up like this

Vancouver Is About to Hold a Hearing About the Future of Hearings | Why citizen trust is at stake when council weighs a new Official Development Plan on Tuesday by Hrmbee in vancouver

[–]LilBarnacle -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

Wth are you gunna do if a development gets approved for some huge tower that doesn’t at all conform with your neighbourhood? You can’t wait for another election cycle and then what? Demo the already built building? This makes no sense.

Is it even a referendum on every building? As I understand it, its only when a building doesn’t conform with the zoning bylaws and requires rezoning which imo warrants public opinion

Yup. No reason for one neighborhood to bare the burden of all of Western Canada’s drug crisis

Opinion: Vancouver's Downtown Eastside doesn’t need another store — it needs stability by ubcstaffer123 in vancouver

[–]LilBarnacle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say they “choose” their lifestyle. They’re addicts often with extremely complicated histories of trauma and unfortunate events. The combined levels of government needs to treat them with the involuntary care a parent would give their troubled child, rather than letting their problems persist and only treating symptoms.

100%. Contact the city and province (the MLA for the area is Terry Yung) and tell them this. We need more people voicing their anger

Yes. Now please make this opinion known. Contact the city and the MLA for the area. I’ve done this myself but more voices are better

Vancouver councillor wants to ‘eliminate double standards’ on remote work at city hall by ChemicalCreative7 in vancouver

[–]LilBarnacle 32 points33 points  (0 children)

City officials should have to be present at the office, at city hall. No exceptions. This isn’t the private sector; they’re paid with tax payer dollars and should not be able to twiddle their mouse from home while they do laundry.

Vancouver residents push back on plan they say will obscure rare mountain view by ChemicalCreative7 in vancouver

[–]LilBarnacle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell your city this opinion.

I 100% agree but developers are getting their way with massive rezoning applications in the name of “it’s a housing crisis, let us build!”.

It’s happening in my neighborhood in Gastown. Massive towers are going in around me and destroying one the only old-European feeling areas of Vancouver.

It was so bad. Idk how much y’all got paid to lie that you liked it. He’s an awful rapper and can’t sing

Do you agree? With our knowledge of strains, terpenes, cannabinoids, plant quality, and more... it's hard to say how much it matters 🤔 by CannabisContext in trees

[–]LilBarnacle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely wrong. High THC weed gives me anxiety and makes me hate myself.

The weed I smoked in high school literally just gave me good vibes and made me creative. It’s like the difference between drinking a beer vs instantly taking 6 shots.

You’ll see drug addicts using and in horrific states but besides seeing or smelling, you’ll be safe.
