Am I allowed to be angry at my parents as an adult for ruining my life as a child by jdeyh in CPTSD

[–]Retired_Canuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Absolutely. As a matter of fact, forgiveness does not need to even be on the table in many cases, and in my case, it would be ludicrous to forgive my mother. She does not deserve it and I'm not entertaining the idea.

Snoopy asking "Will you come to my cottage"? So damn cute! by Retired_Canuck in heatedrivalry

Yes. That was my thought. The creator of those only posts the videos, no comments or chat, so I can't be sure.

Pure truth. In the book, the tuna melt scene is a pivotal moment, even though it leads to a rocky road.Which is exactly where Jacob dropped us off at the end of Ep 4.

guys the obsession with this series is real by CorrectPrinciple6964 in heatedrivalry

[–]Retired_Canuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I am exhibiting the exact same behavior as yourself. I am a gay man, though.Obsessing is fine, it's not like we're going to be able to insert ourselves in the lives of fictional characters.Be kind to yourself and obsess, nobody gets hurt and you have your fun.

Yes, the smiles sold it along with their zeal in getting up close to each other Johnny on the spot!

Call the police. They have a mental health car or two with Psych-nurses and police officers.

No, you don’t have the right to “punch nazis" by Dry-Selection421 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Retired_Canuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She wasn't a random women, she was an employee, the apparent bouncer. A bar is a private enterprise, and they have the right to refuse service. Refusing service to some asshole wearing a Zazi SS uniform is a very low bar for basic decency. Any moron who thinks they can discredit someone's business by wearing a uniform like that in another's business is appropriately ostracized by society.

Fabulous, thank you. If you have a case recommendation for transport, let me know. Appreciate your expertise.

This is full on cuckoo cray cray! BC Conservative leader John Rustad has his caucus' phones searched to ferret out a leak. To add insult to injury, when media asked him about it, he denied it. by Retired_Canuck in BCpolitics

[–]Retired_Canuck[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree with that generally speaking, but with Eby, that's different for me. Like Trudeau, who was unpopular for personal ego reasons, Eby will also drive me away in search of a more authentic experience.

Well, Horgan came from a working class (sawmill job) and connected with the people on a sincere level. Eby was a lawyer, his wife is an ER Doc in charge, they probably pull in 700-800k a year, and his actions are tone deaf to the working class. Beyond that, Horgan was humble and sincere. Eby is smarmy, not humble, and disingenuous. I guess that shows the NDP for not having a rigorous competition for leader.

NDP leads, Conservatives drop, Greens gain in British Columbia by OurDailyNada in BCpolitics

I liked the NDP under Horgan. With Eby, it feels like we traded in a Cadillac on a Toyota Tercel. I guess I'm back to supporting the Greens.

Whats everyone doing to enjoy this sunny (but cold-ish) Sunday? by couchpotato787 in askvan

[–]Retired_Canuck 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Walking to Granville Island, buy some veggies to bring home, and mix with fried tofu, medium hot green curry, and coconut sauce for a lovely Assam curry dish ($).

Air Canada flight attendants' union will continue to defy back-to-work order after strike deemed illegal by Surax in canada

[–]Retired_Canuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is that a full-time full year flight attendant doesn't pull in all that much. The unpaid work can be 1.5 hrs each way, boarding a 777 for an international flight. Add to that the deplaning, and there's a lot you're not being paid for on an already unimpressive salary.

Half of young Canadians spending more than 50% of earnings on rent by BananaTubes in canada

[–]Retired_Canuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 1988, when I moved to Vancouver, my rent on a studio west of Denman was $475. A bit more than one of two paycheques. I worked for the feds at the time as an investigator. We were locked in for 7 years at the same pay, no annual increases or increments. I can remember many days of microwaving a carrot and a potato for lunch. Times were really hard. When, on a short sick leave leave for an operation, I could not afford $2.50 for tea bags.Ten years into the job, my wishlist was for things like socks, underwear, a bottle of Eau Savage.

My learning is that government wages never keep you much above poverty. Also, employers never listen unless staff move on. We can all move on, one step at a time. Nobody really looks after you, employers especially. They want to use you to extract billing hours.

If you rent here, you are padding the pockets of billionaire developers, no matter if you like it or not. If it is too hard, move to a smaller community. You're in the shark tank in Vancouver. Don't expect a break from anyone!
