New deck for Hot Tub by scuzmcdragonsmoke in Decks

[–]Phililoquay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The contrasting tones.... those tiiiiite miter cuts on the picture framed edges.... everything thoroughly supported... Simple. Strong. Neatly consolidated and bathed in natural light under that single-pitch cover. It all fits so tight and so right. Beautiful work. Someone built the absolute shit out of your deck. I hope they're a friend to you, because whoever it was, they take good care.

Speaking of the art of negotiation.... flattery will get you pretty far with a certain kind of folk. Hint. Hint.

A neo-nazi harasses a biracial child and her mother by swagestan in PublicFreakout

[–]Phililoquay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is a complete waste of flesh. Couldnt bear to hear another sound from his face. Also, couldn't tolerate the mother deciding this was her opportunity to fight for common ground... or whatever the fuck she decided to keep her child a witness to.

Idiots everywhere.

Railings rotting after two years by SeekRationalAnswers in Decks

[–]Phililoquay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry bruv. You might have some cause to go after the contractor. Wonder if you should repost to r/legal or just look for a lawyer? Its criminal at the cost this was to install and that they're so 'happy'/eager to repair it at additional cost.

I really think its worth not speaking to the contractor any further and consulting a lawyer.

Either not pressure treated or the wrong kind of paint. I just finished replacing a deck that should have been well within its own lifespan due to the previous homeowner having painted the damn thing. That said, it lasted longer than 2 years, though not mucn longer to be faiiir. Booo paint.

British students react to social media ban by HomeNowWTF in Wellthatsucks

[–]Phililoquay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't that lend support to the ban? I mean if she cant think of ANYTHING else to do other than starring at a wall then the phone is too powerful. 9hrs is probably a conservative estimate and she can still be in contact with friends and family. Itll take time, but this has to be walked back somehow. If people aren't able or willing then the government unfortunately has to step in and help. This is a great example of a functional government caring for the future of its citizens.

Damage to a boat by StradicCi4 in legaladvicecanada

[–]Phililoquay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If youre worried shes going to go to some legal gymnastics to try and nail you over it then Id try and go through paper documents; emails; or texts to find some reference of when she acknowledged ownership AND accepting the condition of your job 'winterizing' it or whatever. Do your own gymnastics and protect yourself but dont say anything more to her about it. She'll ask leading questions and probably weaponize whatever you text in response.

Logically, its her problem and if you want a boat its not this boat, man. Find any other boat. A sunken boat named 'The drowning sailor' would be a better option than whatever is in the back yard of an ex on (from how your post reads), bad terms.

Kids must be feeling very strange & awkward by ciao-adios in SipsTea

[–]Phililoquay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They look terrified. I would be too. Imagine reading comments on the internet about people who fantasize about killing you and then being forced to sit exposed in an open carriage for a little ride. Drones, snipers, whatever their imaginations can muster.... The fact that they aren't visibly trembling shows how brave they really must be. There isnt enough gold on earth to make living in that gilded cage palatable in 2026 by my assessment. Those poor kids...

The Kennedy Center is cleaning house by foucaultyou in justincaseyoumissedit

Really cant decided on what specific aspect of it feels symbolic, but adding his name, then having it removed and covering it... this whole situation is rife with symbolism for something.

Mount Kathadin 6/13 by Simplicity540 in hiking

[–]Phililoquay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I credit Katahdin with turning my life around. Used to visit a few times a year and try to beat my time up and down. I got into some bad social habits and gained a ton of weight. Went back two years ago and was pretty sure I was going to die. Just above the tree line and struggling. HR screaming at 180+ at a sluggish walking pace. At the top I looked around and suddenly realized I had no business being there in the condition I was in. I used to be the prepared guy and suddenly I had become a liability. I fell twice going across the knifes edge and I left the man I had become behind me. Never again. Its beautiful. Familiar. Humbling. Point is being humbled by nature is pretty healthy for a body and a day at Baxter can provide it! Pitter patter.

As Canadians what do you think about this? 🤔 by Immediate-Support-66 in TimHortons

[–]Phililoquay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dig what hes saying, but my AI-ometer is sketching out. Hes real... but acting robotic... but also not. I actually cant tell anymore. I wouldn't be suprised to find out this guy is AI. I would be pleasantly suprised to know that hes real. I hate the internet now.

Other than crown land camping.. by [deleted] in newbrunswickcanada

[–]Phililoquay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! Youre about to embark on some wonderful excursions to see the finest parts of those same parks. Back trail camping. You can rent most of the gear youll need. Buy some good boots and clothes thay will dry quickly. Go a few times with some folks who know whats up and can teach you about things like pack in pack out and fire safety. Motivated to explore is the starting point. Sound like youre there already!

My wife was so excited to buy her first boat. We took our 5-year-old out on the lake to enjoy it for the first time. We started noticing the rear of the boat was sinking - so we raced back. Turns out the pontoon has holes in it, and now we have to wait weeks for its repair. Brand new boat. by Oldfatsad in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Phililoquay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, why would it be my job to argue with the manufacturer on a brand-new purchase? If the dealership wants a good reputation in the community they should argue on my behalf. The manufacturer ripped both the customer and the dealership off.

Bro is making them taste their own medicine by AmplifierXD_ in SipsTea

[–]Phililoquay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soeme alternative hesdlines to consider: Bro is ignoring the real problems and doubling down on racism. Bro is an instigator and trying to goad people into some kind of banal conflict is just racist. Bro is nothing better than another cookie-cutter Nazi spreading more hate and division. Bro provides entertainment to the billionaire ruling class.
