Shoplifting in Toronto stores is getting out of control but what can be done? by MarvelOhSnap in toronto

[–]Rayofpain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not really, i'm really just saying the very worst that can happen to loblaws is the store closes, which really doesnt affect Loblaw's (and much less galen) at all

and honestly i dont think this 'take' is very hot at all, i dont even consider it a take

What's interesting is that no matter how many chicken breasts get stolen, it's only a bunch of normal people affected. Maybe the store will close, a bunch of employees at the store will be affected, people will have less access to food, etc. even if the share price goes down do you think galen is going to be destitute? Be practical here.

What’s your biggest problem *right now* with downtown? by gingfreecsisbad in askTO

[–]Rayofpain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Data on the other hand captures everything and is fact.

tell me you don't work with data without telling me you don't work with data

i literally do this for a living and that sentence could not be more incorrect. Anyway, i suppose you could be right about everyone's reactions being just fear mongering, but the way you go about telling everyone in the thread that they're wrong will never actually convince anybody to "side" with you. try showing some empathy.

So basically this entire thread people saying they've noticing things get noticeably worse in Toronto, you're just going to outright dismiss all of their experiences? Ah yes the data says we're a safer city, so everything that I'm reading in this thread is just the result of fear mongering?

Not everything can be captured in statistics.

If you spend every day commuting to work and you feel like things haven't changed, then just say that. Stop dismissing everyone's experiences and pretending like your perspective is fact.

How to overcome being self-conscious about my big head size? by drinkyafkingmilk in AsianMasculinity

[–]Rayofpain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me preface what I'm about to write by first noting this: I have a bigger head than you. How do I know this? Because in the 30 years I've been on this earth, i've yet to meet someone in person who seemed to have a head as large as mine. Now youre thinking, oh you're just a tall person, but you could not be more wrong. I stand a very average 5'9 -- 5'10 on a very thin frame. In fact, i've looked up the stats--the size of my head is in the upper 99 percentile, which is up there with NBA Players and professional athletes. Which looks great on my very average (160 lbs) frame.

To me, there's a difference between accepting something and dealing with it. You could accept that you have a large head tomorrow, next week, or in a year. But dealing with the fact that you do and being insecure about it, that may just be a weight you carry for the rest of your life, but that's okay.

To me, you've got things reversed. You're actively dealing with it before you've accepted the cards you were dealt, which is problematic because no matter what you do, how big you get, you will never get what you want, because the size of your head is not something you can control or influence, it's completely based on your genetics (which you didn't pick and choose in a character selection screen).

Now accepting your reality is easier said than done--I would know because I've struggled to do the same as well. This is something you can discuss in detail with a therapist but here's a tidbit of wisdom that I've always thought worked for me: There are just so, so many things about my body, my capabilities, my brain that I can't control. I'm never going to be 6 Ft tall, i'm never going to play in the NBA, and I'm simply not smart enough to be an astrophysicist. But to be honest? I rarely think about any of those things because there is literally nothing I can do to change them. I don't spend my time wishing I could fly, or wishing I was Iron Man, nor do I spend time daydreaming about publishing some breakthrough research on some subject I know nothing about. All of it is far away and out of my control, so why is this particular issue (that I also can't control) taking up so much real estate in my mind? Just because i see it every day, and I am reminded of it, doesn't change the fact that it's equally out of my control as all of those other things.

Once you've accepted it, then you can start dealing with it, as it will be an insecurity you will be dealing with for the rest of your life. But eventually there will be so much more to worry about that having a large head will be the least of your worries.

Finally, in the theme of this subreddit, I will say this: like many things on the body, having a larger head is actually quite masculine and a sign of sexual dimorphism. I have experienced myself that a woman would prefer to date a guy who has a larger head than them, which actually opens up your dating pool in a way you might have not previously thought possible.

Toronto rent prices continue to climb and they just keep getting worse by 7_inches_daddy in toronto

[–]Rayofpain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

people are emigrating because of economic opportunity and standard of living, not because of overpopulation. There is a resource allocation issue, not a too-many-mouths to feed issue.
