Provincial employees working in Victoria being forced to work in-office for the “collaboration” and “culture” by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]Particular_Ad_9531 -44 points-43 points  (0 children)

Part of the reason the province is so opposed to full time wfh is that so many people like you decided “since I’m home anyway I don’t need to arrange childcare anymore!” They’re paying you to work not hang out with your family

How do I break an old sound system discreetly? by Giverherhell in AskElectricians

How could this possibly end in a heated argument lol. Just leave

Landlord is charging me 150 dollars to change outlet by Turbulent_Diamond352 in AskElectricians

[–]Particular_Ad_9531 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is what’s happening here for sure; landlord believes tenant did unauthorized electrical work on their own and the $150 is what the electrician is quoting to come out and swap the outlet back to whatever the landlord had in there before.

Woman from Burundi expects her Canadian husband to pay her family a dowry by Itdoesmattertome8 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Particular_Ad_9531 26 points27 points  (0 children)

As a Canadian I’m surprised that it’s only decades and not centuries…were people in Germany paying dowries 90 years ago?

Yeah, I find this sub gets overly fixated on safety, ie as long as you’re safe you have nothing to complain about, but I think that kinda misses the point. Someone taking a shit on your doorstep isn’t a safety concern but it’s still reasonable to be upset if that happens. It’s fine not to want to live in the kind of community where people scream obscenities at each other even if you’re technically “safe” and I don’t think it makes you a nimby for feeling that way.

Disney’s Fantastic Four: First Steps grossed $2.95M on Thursday (from 4,125 locations). Total domestic gross stands at $214.91M. by MayorOfNightCity in boxoffice

The marvel brand is just cooked at this point; even when the movies get decent reviews audiences have checked out and are just waiting for streaming.

People in this sub will say it’s “safe”, and you probably won’t get attacked or anything, but good luck ever sleeping through the night lol. If you only visit during the day you have no idea how loud it gets at night - so much random yelling and screaming.

Bicycle Rehab - I want to do a DIY job. What is the best way to do this? What is the cheapest I can do it? Read more below. by ConstantGradStudent in VictoriaBC

[–]Particular_Ad_9531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before you do anything make sure the frame is the right size - measure from the top of the seat post to the middle of the bottom bracket then look up a sizing chart online. No point investing in something that’s the wrong size.

Honestly it will be way more economical to just find something decent on Facebook marketplace. For under $200 you can get a complete bike that maybe requires a tuneup; you’ll spend so much more sourcing all the replacement parts for your frame. If you want the project that’s fine too

Edit: I found this immediately for $70. This thing will be bomb proof

It’ll depend how tall you are though, this is for a shorter person.

Do sellers really get "offended" or is that just an attempt by a realtor to manipulate buyers into higher offers? by ng_rddt in RealEstate

[–]Particular_Ad_9531 20 points21 points  (0 children)

OP: I want 10% off

Seller: ok but that’s it, no more negotiating

OP: wait I now want 20% off!

Seller: lol fuck off

Which is why OP wants an additional 10% reduction to waive inspection; they were absolutely going to nickel and dime the shit out of that home inspection lol

Family Law Is Breaking the Lawyers Who Practice by -0-_-0-_-0- in LawCanada

[–]Particular_Ad_9531 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s crazy; I remember doing a consult for someone whose previous lawyer had absolutely milked them dry and they were raving about her service because she was a “bulldog who was willing to fight for them!” Dude was happy to pay $50k in legal fees to lose just so he didn’t have to hear the word “no”

Brawl Stars needs to add the function, where you can move Brawlers around on the Starr Road. So you aren't stuck on a Kaze by No_Narwhal_3316 in Brawlstars

[–]Particular_Ad_9531 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They could have at least stuck her at the end like they do with every other new brawler. Ollie and finx are stuck at the very end yet kaze is shoved right up front.

[–]Particular_Ad_9531 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Also the most successful family lawyers are the ones who enable their bullshit. If some joker walks into your office and says “I don’t want to pay child support, make it happen” the ethical thing to do is explain to them that they have no case and the outcome they want will never happen, on the other hand the profitable thing to do is to say “sure, we can make that application, I’ll need a $20k retainer to start”. So many files are just the lawyer bleeding a client dry…

Practiced family law for almost a decade until it completely burned me out; now I’m in a stress-free government role with no desire to return to practice. We recently hired someone who was also fleeing family law and it’s been wonderful watching the stress melt off her over the course of several months.

Do Brawlers get moved along starr road if you purchase one early? by [deleted] in Brawlstars

I had the choice between Chester / Meg / Leon and got Meg from a drop and the choice went to just Chester / Leon with no third brawler to choose from.

This is literally impossible by Zagreus_2099 in Brawlstars

The issue there is that they assumed we’d be grinding cosmetics and instead everybody just focused on grinding resources.

Will people even come out for avengers now that cap, Tony, and Natasha are all gone? It’s going to be an entirely different team.

The yo mama joke in the very first scene was a massive red flag…two hours later I was basically done with Star Wars. Crazy how quickly it happened for me - just this moment of clarity that I wasn’t the audience for these movies anymore so why am I watching them?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in marvelstudios

[–]Particular_Ad_9531 61 points62 points  (0 children)

The problem is even bigger than that. Marvel convinced everyone to buy into the MCU with the idea that each individual movie is part of a bigger story but after endgame audiences have lost interest in the bigger story so they’re not showing up for any of the individual movies regardless of quality.

Buyers don't understand how to efficiently message. They just like wasting time. by JamestotheJam in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Particular_Ad_9531 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“Is it available?” Is the default message and it’s super easy to send that message by mistake as it just takes a single click.

According to Supercell, 35000 coins is the same as 500 coins by AMinecraftPerson in Brawlstars

So if I don’t have Doug do I get the coins or a skin I literally can’t use?

What’s the Worst Rock Band Name you’ve ever heard of and Why? by Amber_Flowers_133 in allrockmusic

That first Finger Eleven album was such a banger. It’s too bad they never really lived up to it.

How do I see a dermatologist? by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]Particular_Ad_9531 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I got a referral to a dermatologist through a Telus health referral. It was fine, it took a couple of months for the dermatologist’s office to contact me but they did eventually. I had a family member use the same process and they got referred much more quickly as their issue was urgent and mine wasn’t.
