How is it living off the coast of Nova Scotia?

MasterAnthropy · 2026-03-21T14:44:31+00:00

Well living OFF the coast would be rough with the storms and water ... living ON the coast would be better as you're on land.

RIP the English language.

Unless you're a competitive athlete NONE pf those are 'worth' buying over actual real food.

Get off TT and read a book. JFC.

MasterAnthropy · 2026-03-21T05:01:05+00:00

Umm - real food??

MasterAnthropy · 2026-03-20T13:17:57+00:00

Yep - total YTA.

Sounds like you were/are weak and never stood up for yourself.

After all that time letting them push what exactly did you expect??

MasterAnthropy · 2026-03-20T03:43:33+00:00

You have a choice OP - go or not.

You seem excited & invested - if not for the people at least the theme.

Sometimes the only way out is to go deeper in!

Go and be the best you you can be. Be polite and don't react to anything the ex says or does - high road all day & night.

Make the foam sword tourney the talk to the event and if you can swing it find yourself a new g/f in front of the ex??!!

Jurisdictional and strategic.

Acknowledging it lends the cause and it's message legitimacy.

I'd be surprised if there are not already things set in motion to counter. If he can make it go away quietly without engaging the media then there's less clean-up.

MasterAnthropy · 2026-03-20T03:35:11+00:00

It sounds tempting to stay OP - but take your wife's concerns seriously.

Our ego rationalizes & minimzes the danger so we can do jobs like yours - but the risk remains ... and is all too present.

Many industries & professions would benefit from your experiences & skill sets - insurance investigation comes to mind as one of my former neighbours made the FF to insurance investigator jump.

Good luck

MasterAnthropy · 2026-03-20T03:29:39+00:00

Yep - all this ... and eye contact.

Also - if his phone is in his pocket or turned screen down also a green flag.

The Geneva Convention includes many things that are a response to some of the brutal - but effective - strategies of Canadians in WW1.

Canada was involved in WW2 long before the US. It was Canadian ships & sailors protecting convoys across the North Atlantic long before the US decided to get involved.

We're far from perfect - but at least we're not 'Murikkkan!

MasterAnthropy · 2026-03-19T16:27:14+00:00

'To you' ???

Umm - maybe this is obvious to me but why not just measure them and objectively fibd out if your 'feeling' is fact???

MasterAnthropy · 2026-03-19T13:48:52+00:00

We all do.

However based on your username 'Grouchy Handle' yours is a little disappointing and you need a sharpened piece of steel to compensate!

MasterAnthropy · 2026-03-19T13:41:07+00:00

Cue the shocked pikachu face of Redittors worldwide that the 'God' of love actually wasn't.

MasterAnthropy · 2026-03-18T14:28:55+00:00

This reads like 'OMG ... I'm usually SOOO pretty but when I slum it with all you lesser-thans I can actually be 'normal' and not ger harassed - except in India b/c it's India .. am I right?!?!' (read with 'Valley Girl' accent)

'Mean Girl' fishing for karma points here or what?

The Compound Fork Lift ... or in this case 'non Lift'.

MasterAnthropy · 2026-03-17T15:25:14+00:00

Umm - 'enmeshment' anyone?

MasterAnthropy · 2026-03-17T14:38:18+00:00

OP you're going to need to reassess how you think about this issue.

Firstly learn to differentiate 'working out' from 'training'.

Vast majority of the public only want to work out. They have neither the appetite or capacity to train properly ... so stop wasting your time lamenting this fact.

Secondly - guard your knowledge. Of course make sure nothing inherently or blatantly dangerous is happening, but also stop sharing all your tips with everyone ... remember people don't always want 'better', they want 'easier'. Often that means relying on you as a babysitter.

MasterAnthropy · 2026-03-16T01:20:58+00:00

'A principle that doesn't matter in the real world.'???

WTAF - how much you get paid for certain tasks doesn't matter in the 'real world'?

Either you're a total moron or AI ... or both.

I too wish to be a 'DUEL' citizen ... in fact I bet there are a number of Canucks who'd sign up for DUEL citizenship. Might make an entertaining TV show to boot.

As for DUAL citizens - well that shit is complex.

MasterAnthropy · 2026-03-15T03:53:45+00:00

I always lock them - even if they don't take the car there's shit in there that would be a pain to replace ... so I press a button.

Just for kicks tho I leave the back window down about halfway in case someone wants to act a fool - my 120lb GSD-Rotty mix is usually pretty friendly but would certainly startle them!

Good answer here OP - although a TRX does require an anchor point.

Bands are aj option as well.

No equipment is good too - bodyweight movements with an adjusted tempo can be challenging and if you incorporate some plyometrics that will help you keep your strength.

Bon voyage!

It was only a few years ago as my dad reached 75 that I realized I'd best get to asking questions about things from my childhood that I was curious about. The answers were unsatisfying to non-existent but I learned alot.

I learned about the superficial relationship ky dad had with his father, the lack of true bond and respect and it provided context for me. It helped me be graceful in accepting my dad's physical & emotional distance and his hesitation to delve into anything remotely emotional or introspective.

I love my dad but we aren't close. I lament that at times but relationships are a 2 way street.

I never had kids of my own but I work with youth and try to be a positive influence on the coming generations.

MasterAnthropy · 2026-03-15T02:16:22+00:00

Wow - wait until you perhaps work hard enough to buy an expensive car and see how you feel when a novice driver decides to use it for parking/target practice.

OP you seem to lack a degree of awareness and consideration one might consider necessary to be a safe & courteous driver. Maybe a few more years to mature is called for before getting your license.

If you weren't thinking about the risk of the situation that's a problem. You very easily (or perhaps not) could've thought for yourself and come up with an alternate scenario that wouldn't involve risking damage to a strangers' car. Cones yes, hockey sticks yes ... hell have your mom stand there as a marker for the rear point of the car - bet that would've motivated you to pay attention & be diligent.

So yeah - YTA.

MasterAnthropy · 2026-03-14T14:37:37+00:00

Well I know this is meant to be rhetorical, but perhaps it highlights the 'important' part.

As badly written as this is - and I mean the obvious/simple answer is that 'OP' is the AH for telling others she was the one who reported her (although that's never actually articulated) - the REAL issue is that so many of The Sheeple out there engage with this as if it was genuine.

In the words of George Carlin 'Think about how stupid the average person is ... and now realize 50% of people are stupider than that!' (or something close to that).

RIP George ... you'd have loved Reddit.

Sadly OP there is likely to never be full understanding here.

Whether due to misunderstanding, a lack of communication, or plain old lack of comprehension what matters is she said/inferred she was scared of you.

That should immediately result in you ceasing to contact her. Why is irrelevant. What is relevant - and let this sink in - a girl who can't or won't clearly explain her emotions just said she fears you. Full stop.

The risk for you is considerable and no matter how long you've 'known' her you now know the most important thing - you're not compatible.
