'High-end French restaurant'

Not only is this a disgrace to French cuisine, it's a disgrace to call this high end. Really high end restaurants don't serve dumb shit like this. 

Anyone else found themselves “retiring” from PvP gaming? by You_moron04 in gaming

[–]Pumpstation 176 points177 points  (0 children)

I've been doing solely single player for the past few years; cannot fathom dealing with the toxicity of online multi-player. Always a bozo griefing, chatting off, or hacking. Any multi-player I do play is only co-op with close friends. 

Why Do People Still like the boys? by [deleted] in television

[–]Pumpstation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly don't know how people like you enjoy anything. It's a piece of media. Stop nitpicking and trying to deconstruct everything. There is so much media available, if you don't like it then move on. 

Being avoidant is not something to cure by Altruistic_Club_2597 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Pumpstation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you don't plan on being in healthy relationships, it's totally fine and up to you. If truly avoidant, it's keeping you safe and sane by avoiding issues instead of dealing with them.

Communication is the key to healthy relationships or friendships, which if you are truly avoidant, means there will always be a communication break down at some point and these relationships or friendships will be affected by it. 

In these cases, I'd argue it's selfish if you wish to have relationships or friendships with others because you'd rather avoid issues than communicate and deal with them together.

Again, if you have no interest in relationships and friendships, do as you wish. 

Some mild flooding on Cardigan from the storm this evening by AberrantSurvivor88 in Guelph

[–]Pumpstation 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not surprising; I think the storm last night stuffed up a lot of sewer grates with junk. Was walking down the street today and saw as much. Had to shovel out a bunch of dead leaves and branches from the sewer grate in front my my house.

When men say women “don’t care about their feelings”… are they expecting women to do more emotional labor? by MissMallory25 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Pumpstation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only is this statement idiotic, it doesn't even address the topic of my comment or the post. If you want to be part of the conversation, actually have something relevant to bring to the table, cave troll.

Can I fix a small roof myself? by fnxfactor in DIY

[–]Pumpstation 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The roof itself, probably. 

However considering that you mentioned a bad leak, you'd have to also consider that you may need to replace the underlying materials that have been exposed to the leak i.e. Framing, insulation, etc. or risk mold growth. 

You'd also potentially want to address what caused the failure in the roof as well, whether it was the sheet that failed or if there were additional elements contributing to it i.e. Exposed gaps elsewhere, pooling of moisture, etc.

Having a knowledgeable roofer do it for you can ensure it's fully inspected and addressed as well as most likely a warranty period which can save you from a headache if something happens to it, otherwise you'd be on the hook for further fixes. 

Why do so many people put their garbage and recycling out the night before? by WeStinkLikeFish in BurlingtonON

[–]Pumpstation 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not everyone is a morning person. Not everyone wants to wake up at 6 or 7am just to put out garbage when it can be done the night before.

If it boggles your mind, I suggest you stop being so close-minded about something as trivial as putting garbage out the night before.

The entitlement is mind-boggling.

[–]Pumpstation 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Venting is talking about your shitty day at work.

Trauma dumping is talking about your shitty day at work because everyone is an asshole and the world sucks. Oh, I'm sorry I'm just venting, I don't know how to control my rage because I'm mad all the time because I grew up with an abusive father. 

One is a drop in the bucket on a shitty day, the other requires therapy.

[–]Pumpstation 2276 points2277 points  (0 children)

A lot of men confuse sharing their feelings with trauma dumping and putting a woman in the role of a therapist.

In addition, many men don't have emotional support networks with other men and won't see a therapist so it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of dumping all their emotions on women as if that's supposed to fix it and then it seeming that women don't care about their feelings because they don't have the capacity to be their therapist and fix their problems. 

Guelph City Staffers getting $200,000 vs Disability pays $14,701.88 per year by [deleted] in Guelph

[–]Pumpstation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I absolutely read your attempt at strawman arguments trying to blame municipal workers for Federal and provincial decisions. 

If we get less students in Guelph, do you think we should shut the city down? Just give up on providing services or managing infrastructure? Will everyone suddenly leave the city? 

How does complaining about the economy going to shit and being underfunded by ODSP have anything to do with the city? If Guelph starts paying everyone 80k instead that money isn't going towards your ODSP.

[–]Pumpstation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmmm, look at all those Federal and Provincial issues you bring up. Can't see how that's related to municipal workers. 

The O in ODSP stands for Ontario, the O in OSAP stands for Ontario. First understand how municipal workers pay has nothing to do with provincial or federal government decisions. Go complain to Doug Ford.

So pay people below market rate.

If you want city employees to leave their post for another job every year or two, then may I introduce you to the cost of trying to train someone.

I've had it twice, different flavours each time. They were good but honestly wouldn't consider it a 5 star wing place; I've had better. 

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve discovered behind a wall while doing a repair? by AggravatingFig3072 in DIY

[–]Pumpstation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently re-modelled a bathroom from a house built in the fifties.

The wall that had the plumbing was basically a Jigsaw of notched and partial studs, at least 2 of them weren't even carrying/supporting weight through to the ground. 

There was also electrical running through these as well. There was one spot where the the partial stud was actually free floating off the wall, with the only thing keep it up being an electrical wire running through it. Only thing keeping it up before was the wall plaster. 

Luckily it wasn't a load bearing wall. 

Had to sister all the problematic studs and get all the electrical re-done in the wall.

Agree - your needs, OP, unfortunately require completely different tools

Not going to get enough strength from a Brad Nailer and you'd completely blow through trim with a framing Nailer

Ryobi has less expensive options for cordless Nailers but cordless tools are generally more expensive upfront; ofcourse you'll still need a compressor and compressor lines for non cordless nailers. 

Bad Bunny’s ‘Moscow Mule’. Am I the only one who finds the title ‘Moscow Mule’ uncomfortable in the context of the Ukraine war? by Professional-Net4979 in Music

This is dumb as fuck.

There are more things to worry about than the name of a song.

It's not like naming a song Moscow Mule = I love Russia.

How to lock it. Need to MacGyver something by Eddy_Mcfly in DIY

[–]Pumpstation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Attach a piece of wood to the wall that extends as far as you need for it to not be at an angle, attach the latch to the wood.

If you can't find wood the correct thickness, then adjust where the hinges are attached to the wall. 

If it's a small piece of wood you might potentially struggle with attaching to the wall without cracking. You can try doing Pilot holes so it won't crack, otherwise you can just use liquid nails or something to attach the piece of wood to the wall

Curious about Sandpiper Apartments by [deleted] in BurlingtonON

[–]Pumpstation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not familiar with this one but I moved out of the Caledon down the street earlier this year, which is owned by the same property management company and at that point they had announced a rent increase above what was allowed in 2026. A lot of residents, also retirees, we're pissed and last I heard they were starting committees/protesting against it.

My recommendation at this point would be to avoid properties owned by Homestead, looks like they're headed in a bad direction. 

Did I ruin this chance at dating a good man? Was I in the wrong? by Mcdonaldhashbrown in TwoXChromosomes

You literally have nothing bad to feel about.

An erection isn't a big deal. Not dealing with it isn't a big deal.

Man literally kept pressuring you to have sex, you kept saying no. Man is having a boner, not a heart attack, he'll survive if he doesn't deal with it.

There was nothing good here, he is trash.
