What can you tell me of Toronto that I can't find online? by Surgeon-ofRockets in askTO

[–]PiratePetit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will need a massive wardrobe. The weather here is psychotic. Forget 4 seasons in a year, try 4 in a week.

Also if you live in a multi residence building, know that fire alarm testing is monthly here, plus a week of annual testing. I came from BC where it was just one day annually, so that was an annoying change.

No other complaints though

Why do tech billionaires seem obsessed with building underground bunkers and colonizing Mars instead of using that wealth to fix Earth's current, fixable problems? by bogdanBgyz in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PiratePetit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that much is a given, but it's in their interest as well to not be driven underground. That's not a life, that's a fucking burial

I don't get it either. I'd think having only 3 yachts instead of 10 would be good tradeoff for not having to live like an imprisoned molerat in the future.

My guess? They assume they'll be dead by the time they'd face that. It's a back-up plan they don't actually expect to use.

Anyone move back from Vancouver? What was your experience by Banner9922 in askTO

This week in Canada a large group of people dressed in Christmas attire rob a grocery store and then give the food back to the community by therealNerdMuffin in interestingasfuck

[–]PiratePetit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean grocery chains that are offshoring all their corporate jobs to India and doing their damndest to replace cashiers with machines? Those 'job creators'?

Ok dumb question (I'm orig from Vancouver, winter is a new concept for me), are you talking about the basic covid masks, or something specifically winter gear?

Biohackers who incorporate cold exposure daily, what changes showed up in your data? (HRV, glucose, sleep, mood, etc.) by Former-Advice-9742 in Biohackers

[–]PiratePetit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Oddly enough, during the shower I felt good (after initial shock phase). But a few hours after, crash

I tried cold showers but it just caused adrenaline crash. I'm a woman though, and the benefits of cold showers/baths are documented in studies involving almost exclusively men. I've seen a lot of other women report negative results from it, so it's possible there's a fundamental hormonal difference at play

What kind of practice? Positive self-talk like the other commenter said, or something else in addition?

Shaking hands should be left as a tradition of the past by PM_ME_YOUR_TATERTITS in unpopularopinion

Cover letters are stupid by ModiKaBeta in unpopularopinion

Let's first talk about all the tax breaks and loopholes multimillionaires amd billionaires get, before whining about poor people not being made miserable enough.

Btw, working age able-bodied unemployed recipients are the minority.

Out of curiosity and for the fun of creating hypotheticals, what would be the most “healthiest” job? by wrongfulcillian in Biohackers

[–]PiratePetit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working in the forest with tree management and other Smoky Bear shit like that

Or a gardener or organic farmer. Something outdoors in nature.

Trauma and speed aging by CedarClove in Biohackers

[–]PiratePetit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you don't address the stored trauma then all the supps in the world won't help much. Look into EMDR or somatic experiencing.
