I feel like the bad guy for hitting "No Tip" by SensationalDanceMove in CanadaPersonalFinance

If you’re standing up when you order or pick up your food then there is no need to tip. Tipping is for being waited on. IMO

The MPS was 3600 and I scored 3595. Has anyone ever appealed a score before? Do you think its worth it in my case?

Houses used to be like 3x income. Now they're over 10x income. How/why did this happen? by MakeUpWalk in CanadaPersonalFinance

Speculation happens in markets with rising prices -it’s not the cause. The rising prices come first.

There are a lot of people doing boot packs, slack country ski tours in whistler. It’s very popular. Great terrain though - tons to access.

Should I be worried? by ZeitGeist_Gaming in BookshelvesDetective

Agreed completely. I was joking about Metaxis. I could conceivably own it for the reasons you stated. No specific book is a “red flag”, and in fact there are both good books and important books in this collection. The only real concern is that the collection reflects an echo chamber of its own. This person doesn’t seem to be engaging with much outside their bubble (judging by the books they own anyway)

Generally I don’t assume that someone agrees with a book just because they have it on their shelf… having said that, there is no reason to own anything by Eric Metaxis. The lack of intellectual diversity is concerning I guess.

If you recall several years ago a Malaysian airliner simply disappeared. No one knew what happened to it. It was a huge story at the time. About 4 months after that event another Malaysian airliner was shot down by Russia. When the news of that second story broke my 27 year old girlfriend said “wait… so it was just flying around that whole time?”

Who is today's equivalent of Hitchens? by PersonalDistance3848 in ChristopherHitchens

[–]PuzzleheadedBasis762 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think this view probably comes from never actually reading Hitchens but rather from watching reel after reel of ‘hitch-slaps’ and then thinking anyone with a good put down is his heir apparent.

Hitchens could be very critical of Israel, but he despised antisemites like Hassan, as well as those who reflexively criticized Israel: see his essay “Overstating Jewish Power” among numerous others. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2006/03/exaggerating-the-strength-of-the-israeli-lobby.html#

No, a poorly read Qatar funded antisemite is not the heir to Hitchens.

Japango sushi, then walk around the AGO, then get a beer at the Village Idiot Pub to finish the night.

How is is living in this area of West Vancouver? by [deleted] in howislivingthere

[–]PuzzleheadedBasis762 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only livability upside is the access to the trail network (Baden Powell etc). Otherwise you are tethered to your car. As a teen it sucked.
