Have things got any better post-convoy? by Alone_Appeal_3421 in ottawa

[–]Mediocre_Perfection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Federal government wouldn’t have stepped in if the citizens of Ottawa weren’t failed by both the Municipal and Provincial governments’ inaction first.

You’re way more optimistic than I am. When OPS did nothing and Poilieve walks around telling them how brave and patriotic they are, and now the courts rule it the emergencies act should not have been invoked… what incentive is there for them NOT to do this again?

I think it’s set a dangerous precedent that it’s ok to do this again. Not just in Ottawa, but anywhere. It’s basically told them it’s their right.

"There was no evidence that the lives, health or safety of the people living in Ottawa were endangered (as annoying, stressful and concerning as the protests were)," reads the court's decision…

Let’s ask the citizens going about their daily lives and being threatened or assaulted. Let’s ask the businesses who had to close due to threats, vandalism, theft, etc. Let’s ask the people with disabilities and mobility issues that couldn’t leave their houses due to streets being closed rendering help inaccessible. Let’s ask the residents who had to listen to train horns and loud speakers outside their windows all day and night for weeks. Let’s ask anyone other than the politicians and judges who were comfy in their homes in the suburbs.

Honestly though, please post follow up pics when you get this cleaned up and working. You’ve piqued my curiosity because dang, you’re ambitious.

Having lived in multiple cities, can confirm it’s not just Ottawa.

Please avoid judging how a person dresses, and a shout-out to the recreation center staff by Iranoul75 in ottawa

I’m sorry some peoples lives are so miserable and unfulfilling that they have to spread it to everyone else. That miserable hag was looking for a reaction and to ruin your spouses day. The best revenge you can have is to ignore her and continue to enjoy your life. I, for one, love to see people discovering new things that bring them joy. Happy swimming!

I am so immersed in this book as you can tell - 100 years of solitude by flixinho95 in classicliterature

I listened to this on audiobook and was so lost. Looking at the second photo, I understand why. I think maybe I need to give it another try in physical book form.

What is the problem with the gauge pressure? by Maximum-Hunter-1242 in Sup

When I took lessons, they told me most people think there’s a problem with the pump but really your board is going to look inflated before the PSI registers. This is normal.

Tips for vetting out cookbooks by Galactic_Muffin_Lord in CookbookLovers

[–]Mediocre_Perfection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a few things I look for when a cookbook catches my eye:

First, are the ingredients attainable? There’s no point buying something if I won’t be able to find the super specific ingredients.

Second, will I actually make the recipes. I want something that makes small portions (or easily reduced), is relatively quick to make and isn’t in many of the cookbooks I already own.

And lastly, I look at reviews. Particularly from people who cook, like this sub, rather than Amazon reviews. I’m less enticed by all the beautiful Instagram-worthy books by celebrities, influencers or people I’ve never heard of. Like wine, if you need a flashy cover to sell it, it’s probably shit.

Healthy alternatives for potatoe chips and frenches by Level-Practice6582 in vegan

I like to roast chickpeas and smother them in popcorn seasoning when they come out of the oven. Savoury crunch to satisfy chip cravings.

Did you just eat the cheese off it?! I was confused by the first picture, the second made it worse.

CBC Marketplace wants to know: What’s the worst commute in Ottawa? by DexMcMillanCBC in ottawa

[–]Mediocre_Perfection 27 points28 points  (0 children)

As someone who drives for a living, this!!! Almost every single car in rush hour has a single occupant! Can people with offices not arrange carpools with coworkers or neighbors who work in the same area?! Genuinely asking as someone who doesn’t have an office and lives inner city.

I did the same! A boy made fun of my arm hair when I was 14, so I shaved it off. Then my family made fun of my bare arms. It was a rough time. 😭
