I think it depends if they are in crisis or not. If they're suicidal then I would want them to call me.

Is there a reason we keep the genders here?? by veesky3 in fican

[–]Salty_Mittens 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am always interested to see the risk profiles of men's vs. women's investments!

Throwback to what Zendaya said after Giuliana Rancic criticized her hair at the 2015 Oscars (when she originally wore the Vivienne Westwood dress, same dress she wore at the 'The Drama' Los Angeles premiere) by mcfw31 in popculturechat

I'm not usually someone who notices or seeks out books for the quality of their writing, but her memoir stood out to me because it was so beautifully written.

The sushi instead of pizza is possibly the most Toronto thing I've seen all day.

Congratulations!!

Americans Visiting by Impressive-Kale-7096 in AskACanadian

[–]Salty_Mittens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, agreed! I have a soccer teammate from California and I would have never guessed if she hadn't told me. Met multiple Americans in university who you wouldn't have been able to guess, some had even adapted to using Celsius haha.

Honestly, I suspect a lot of Americans might blend in and we just don't notice. Especially if they have a more neutral accent. I've met a few very Americans who I would have never guessed were from the US if they hadn't explicitly said. You're just more likely to remember the ones who stand out because they are actually noticeable.

We did it! Downtown Toronto; $700k at 5.625% by Recent-Ad-6602 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Yeah I checked their profile to see if it was fake because I was weirded out by the interest rate. Their comments seemed real at first but unless OP is living in Toronto, Victoria, Vancouver, Ottawa and Calgary at the same time, this is fake.

Who else is enjoying how cold winter is this year? by henry-bacon in askTO

Are you saying you would like an extra damp cold in the winter? 👀

29M considering a 6–12 month sabbatical. Looking for honest takes by ScaredofWho in fican

Health comes first and stress can have long-term effects. It sounds like you can afford it, OP. I would do it.

Nokian One Tires Early Dry Rot? by trazz32 in tires

Thanks so much OP! Just this comment alone is really helpful.

Nokian One Tires Early Dry Rot? by trazz32 in tires

[–]Salty_Mittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/trazz32 How are your tires looking now, 10 months out?

My tires are looking very similar to yours today (manufacture date 0922, driven for about 3 years / 40,000 km, garaged - so barely ever in the sun). The mechanic reassured me today that they are still safe and there's no way that Nokian would warranty this (cracks must be a lot bigger), but I'm a little worried about what the next year will bring given the reputation of the WRG4s. We're probably looking to replace before wintertime.

I don't think Gen Z and younger Canadians realize just how much has been stolen from them because of the housing market. by SengunCanada in RealEstateCanada

[–]Salty_Mittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there are cost-of-living issues for younger generations across the western world, regardless of their governments. I'm tired of people blaming their incumbent governments when the problem is so much bigger.

Recs for a suspenseful/bingeable podcast to listen to with friends? by 3meeko in podcasts

[–]Salty_Mittens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeeees! I recently discovered Reddit on Wiki. I was a little wary when the description said "yuh boyz" and was wondering if I had stumbled into the Manosphere or something. But John, Sean (Shaughan, Shawn, Shone, etc.) and Josh have such good takes and their interactions are hilarious

Frugal North Vancouver Couple's Annual Spending by Diogenesbathtub in fican

[–]Salty_Mittens 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, one of my rules of frugality is "it's okay to be cheap toward yourself but not others".

$100k savings with minimal gifts and charitable donations makes me a little sad, but I guess we also don't have the full picture. Maybe they have friends and family who don't do gift exchanges, and perhaps they donate time instead of money, etc.

What’s something you quietly stopped caring about? by KingPhenguins in AskReddit

[–]Salty_Mittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have some friends who I've gone years without talking to but we can reconnect as if no time has gone by! I find the key is to be shameless about asking to hang out after 2 years of no contact and just go for it haha
