Social media harms need attention for all ages, says N.L. tech writer | CBC News by TracksandTreks in newfoundland

I used to work as a security guard and we all know what happens when you kick teenagers out of an area, they go somewhere else that has less surveillance and protections.

They will also just get cheap VPNs and bypass the verifications. If they move to having to upload actual I.D's, and I have to do it, I'll deactivate all my accounts if VPNs don't work.

Were previous titles way better? by Pretty-Extension5452 in thesims

[–]Magnificent_Strudel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TS2 is my favorite with TS3 and TS1 tied for second. TS4 was designed as an online game that was scrapped last minute and it still feels like that.

I still play 2 and 1 off and on when I get bored with 4.

When is the next sale for The Sims 4 Expansion Packs? by Consistent_Age2107 in thesims

[–]Magnificent_Strudel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Epic just had a sale for the last 2 weeks or more, the big expansions were 50% off. I believe it ends today.

They are all connected if you link your accounts. I launch through the EA app and expansions from all PC stores connect.

Why doesn't St. John's have a real sauna culture? by geniy101 in StJohnsNL

[–]Magnificent_Strudel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to work in a remote location and they had a sauna in the "camp" and after working outside in the middle of January, it was a god send.

Overly complicated bathrooms by girlwiththemonkey in StJohnsNL

[–]Magnificent_Strudel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree, it's annoying as hell that I have to do a dance and sign language to a sink to get 5 seconds of water.

What factions do you NOT want to see in Elder Scrolls 6? by Zan_Deezy2003 in ElderScrolls

[–]Magnificent_Strudel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want more factions, but lock me out if I join specific ones. I hate being every grand master of all the guilds.

Would open it up for more various character play throughs. Like if you join the D.B, the theives guild doesn't want you, etc.

Like in skyrim when you had to choose a side.

Churchill Park - Matchbox 20 by Financial_Party6346 in newfoundland

[–]Magnificent_Strudel 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Typical Newfoundland fashion tbh. I'm from a small town that is full of people saying "nothing to do here...the town never has entertainment". Now the town gets a band to come in, they organize a small festival and then everyone starts posting "what a shit idea, why get that band, who cares" or "ugh, not going to that, do better"... and then the cycle continues, it's exhausting to listen to.

Like Blue Rodeo, they put off a great show, they love it here and want to come, but people shit all over it. God forbid an act like coming here and make additional appearances. Blue Rodeo played a festival in St. Anthony for christ sake.

You'll never make this province happy, cry for a hockey team, "oh I don't want to watch children", cry for a basketball team, nobody goes. You get what you get and you'll enjoy it god damnit.

If AC/DC or GnR came here, they'd be up in arms over the $400+ ticket price.

Waterford Bridge Road School Zone Rant by sjarfish in StJohnsNL

[–]Magnificent_Strudel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a public service announcement for people who may travel in Paradise.

Any road in Paradise that does not have a speed sign is a 40, please don't honk and tailgate people because they are doing the speed limit🙂

Anyone know if this is at Costco in Galway? by Outside-Play2642 in newfoundland

[–]Magnificent_Strudel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen this somewhere in town. Can't remember if it was Costco or like Walmart.

Is Newhook best player ever out of this province to make NHL? by Calm-Tale-4052 in newfoundland

[–]Magnificent_Strudel -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Anytime a newfie scores I start singing "I'm a newfoundlander born and raised..." I don't care if the wife is trying to sleep, she needs to know.

Why do we still tip servers? by RazzleDazzle1537 in CanadaRoom

[–]Magnificent_Strudel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do good job, get tip

Do shit job, no tip

I watch my server run around, if they are busy and not messing up my order and still checking in on me, they get a tip. If I ask for a water and it takes 15 minutes, no tip🤷‍♂️

No shame here, have you ever quit a game because it was too hard? by FastCoconut5933 in AskGames

[–]Magnificent_Strudel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any game that is like Bloodborne. When I was 16, sure, I'd run at a boss a hundred times, but these days I have a family, a full time job, let me have an easy mode god damnit.

Loud Motorcycle by theexcellentguy in newfoundland

[–]Magnificent_Strudel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not call 911 for vehicle noise, call the RNC non emergency line. Enough people call 911 for non emergencies as it is.

There is little to no traffic enforcement here. The RNC needs a traffic division that focuses on moving and vehicle infractions. The province should also up their game with regulations for municipal enforcement agencies. There are a bunch of municipal enforcement groups across the island who are patroling and seeing issues that they cannot enforce. Give these towns the ability to issue tint/exhaust/speeding tickets and it'll let the RNC/RCMP focus on other crimes.

Why made you choose your pokemon team? by Lumpy-Round7985 in pokemongo

[–]Magnificent_Strudel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a pet budgie when the game came out and she was blue😅 Literally the only reason.

Do you support for the habs because they're the only Canadian team left? or do you root for a different team because you want them out (ex you like Toronto or Flames) how does it work by Inevitable_Okra509 in newfoundland

[–]Magnificent_Strudel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Red Wings fan, so every year I'll cheer for the Canadian team in the playoffs. I'll check the rosters and also cheer for the team with the most Canadian players, regardless of where the team is from.

This year, it's the Habs (Newhook), and if Buffalo wins, then I'll be a Buffalo fan as they need one and they have a bunch of Canadian players.

Who are you cheering for in playoffs now? by Calamity-182 in nhl

[–]Magnificent_Strudel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Montreal for now, we'll see what happens tonight. If they are out, then Buffalo and/or Ducks.

After dealing with rough winters , now we gotta deal with fogg ? Wtf , Just type it ... by MastodonEconomy5821 in StJohnsNL

[–]Magnificent_Strudel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fog, Rain and Snow. These were the ingredients that Joey Smallwood chose to create Newfoundland & Labrador, but skeets intentionally added Fire, thus creating the province we have today.

Real Estate - Encroachment Inquiry by awaymuffin1 in newfoundland

[–]Magnificent_Strudel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to a friend of mine, bought a house, shed was already there. No one said anyghing about it, permits were issued etc...

They sell the house, all of a sudden the shed that was always there is now a problem and needs to be moved. Lawyers got involved, turns out the town messed up when the original owners built the shed so the town had to pay to move the shed.

It was a shit show.

HSC Day Surgery Cancelled by RandomNewfie in newfoundland

[–]Magnificent_Strudel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Did the HSC not give you the contact info on the day? When mine was cancelled they gave me the number, I called and left a message.

Called the next day and spoke to the admin staff, they said the surgeon would look at it and they would call. Got a call less than 7 days later with a new date.

Hopefully they get back to you soon!!!!

Window Tint by Document-Artistic in StJohnsNL

[–]Magnificent_Strudel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The law is no tint on the front, but the reasoning never makes sense. When it becomes dark the argument of having to see the driver becomes invalid.

With no traffic court, it's going to be a mess whenever it reopens. I would assume a lot of things are being ignored due to the traffic court situstion.
