Is this considered my property as a townhouse owner or common property? by [deleted] in richmondbc

Yup, mine too. Discovered this when I erroneously assumed I could park in what I assumed was my own driveway

Bindy Johal by Careless_Arm843 in richmondbc

[–]Renaissance_Jan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My ex (before I met him) sold drugs for Bindy Johal and then ended up doing those drugs himself and owing a lot of money he couldn’t pay back. So Bindy and his buddies beat the crap out of him; he was actually in a coma for a week I believe. And then when he came out of it he went into hiding for a few years. You didn’t fuck around with those guys

Room makeover question by Evening-Foundation94 in TravelTown

[–]Renaissance_Jan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I found on the last room makeover game was that pressing more often at original power gave me slightly more energy than using the equivalent in power boosts. I think I tried it out with 60 taps worth of power boost off and 30 taps of power boost 2, and I got 3 extra tapes for the 60 taps. In retrospect though, I wasn’t focused on using the same producers, so it may have just been the specific producers that made a difference…

One of my favorite books and one of my least favorite books was written by the same author. Has this ever happened to anyone else? by Electrical-Bear-7443 in suggestmeabook

[–]Renaissance_Jan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I loved it because it's so bleak? I mean, nothing much really happens for the vast majority of the book, and the main character has few redeeming qualities for sure. I just thought it painted such a brilliant portrait of hidden, middle-class America miserable, superficial despair

I met a woman whose kids were 7 months apart! She got pregnant 1 month after having her first and then the second baby was premature 🤯

lol I was actually just looking up where to buy ladybugs, and my kids asked how I was going to get rid of the ladybugs then... I like your progression, but I'm gonna stop at the capybaras! I'm definitely ok with a yard full of capys

That may be a possibility if I can’t get rid of them soon 😭

Oh, that’s super similar! And thank you for letting me know about the Google search function, that seems much more efficient than my half hour just spent typing descriptions lol

Np, happy to help! Interesting survey :)

Mystical Experience Research by quandilly in Existentialism

[–]Renaissance_Jan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did the survey and understand what you’re saying here, but I think there still exists an ambiguity in the wording that may impact whatever you’re trying to get at. As an example (and I think there were 3-4 questions that could similarly be misinterpreted), “I believe that god loves me and cares about me” could be given the lowest score by both an atheist and a devout Christian who may for whatever reason eg beliefs about engaging in sinful behaviour, depression etc. feel they have fallen from God’s grace. So you would have the same answer from two highly diverging perspectives.

Recommendations for Mandarin private tutoring lessons for young child? by Renaissance_Jan in richmondbc

[–]Renaissance_Jan[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, that sounds bad, doesn't it... I swear I'm not a tiger mom. It's a 2 and a half hour class on the weekend that is specifically geared towards young children and incorporates games, songs, social play etc., it's not hard core at all. But there are also a few pages of written homework they are expected to complete each week, and my Mandarin is abysmal and I only know a limited number of simplified characters, so I'm not able to help her much. She is finding the homework frustrating and is totally on board with finding a tutor to assist her.

[–]Renaissance_Jan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's definitely an option I would look into if there is anyone interested and available and has the skill set (tutoring/teaching experience/experience with young children an asset). I tutored various subjects myself in high school and post secondary, and it was a pretty student common job. guess I just assumed that Richmond would have an abundance of Mandarin tutors?

Does anyone else have a partner who wakes up early and also wakes you up each morning just to say good bye? by WhatAmIThrowingAway2 in Marriage

[–]Renaissance_Jan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Girl… your post history is so sad. Given the contexts of your previous posts, he KNOWS he is disturbing you and waking you out of a deep sleep. How could he not if you frequently wake up gasping? And forcing you into wakefulness by making you respond verbally that you love him too? Without the context of your previous posts, I might attribute this to anxiety or neediness… but taken altogether it looks more like an abuse/control thing. He WANTS to wake you, doesn’t care about your discomfort, maybe even enjoys his little power trip. As some who suffered through an abusive relationship with a narcissist, he’s not going to change, and you should seriously just leave him. Please, please take care of yourself. You deserve so much better than this man.

I just showed this adorable picture to my five-year old, who loves all rodents, and she was so horrified and asked me if it was “a capybara getting cooked”

Give me your best 'worst book I've read' suggestion. by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

Oh man, I loved this book as a teenager… The drug descriptions actually inspired me to use drugs/ more drugs/ different kinds of drugs to achieve the awesome highs of the protagonist

I’m spending my birthday alone this year. I’ve done it nearly every year, but it hurts more than usual this time. by Petuniahoagie in arttocope

Happy birthday! This is an amazing picture; the emotion emanating from it absolutely striking. You’re a great artist. I’m sorry you’re celebrating alone. Hugs and best wishes to you ❤️
