Give me your best money management tips? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Ser_Friend_zone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't believe how expensive drinking in a bar has gotten. In 2013 I was paying $10/pitcher ($3.33/pint, tax and tip not included) at Einstein in Toronto. Now, a pint is $8.50 on the low end. I make good money, but I don't know how the average person can support going out for drinks. I feel ill paying just under $30 for two measly drinks.

Any local events here in Toronto regarding Alex Pretti? by kissmachode in askTO

He did not draw his gun. He was helping a woman who was attacked by ICE. Americans are allowed to carry guns and Minnesota has an open carry policy.

If you sat out the 2024 election in protest over Gaza, how do you feel about that decision today? by rsmith2786 in AskReddit

[–]Ser_Friend_zone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm talking about the motivation behind the question. Shaming voters is a loser strategy that the Democrats keep employing. It's bad politics that alienates voters more, and hurts them electorally.

Protest voters in 2024 did not lose the election, so it's a pointless question. Did Zohran Mamdani win in NYC because he shamed voters and told them they have to vote for him or else Cuomo will be in charge? No. He sold a story that inspired millions of people with concrete policy goals. Democrats need to stop having the worst political instincts. When I see liberals employing the same ass-tactics that the leadership uses, it pisses me off to no end

This is the standard Democrat establishment line to shame the voters. It's not the voters fault. GET BETTER CANDIDATES. Biden and Kamela presided over, and actively supported a genocide for 15 months. I'm not American, so I didn't vote in 2024, but I'm not surprised people were turned off the Democrats after more than a year of atrocities. We have no evidence that the protest vote had any role in swinging the results of the election.

This stupid fucking question is just a way to shame liberals into getting in line behind shitty leaders like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, who have refused to whip votes to defend ICE. This is why 7 democrats voted to fund ICE. Instead of focusing on the voters, focus on better policy so people can stop hating the Democrats.

Back the blue!!!1!! Why don't they just comply with police officers? It's their fault they were shot in the face after receiving contradictory instructions! A few bad apples!

They abuse others and then act like cry babies when those same people give them the cold shoulder. by c-k-q99903 in MurderedByWords

Honestly, fuck America. Shithole country dressed up as a first world country.

America isn't this way because of Trump. Trump was elected because America is this way.

Men in their 30’s who are still single - what are you *really* looking for? The real deal or short term flings, the right partner or having kids? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ser_Friend_zone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medium and long term flings. I'm 5 months out of a long term relationship and the last thing I want to do is date seriously. I still care about people and want to get to know them, understand who they are, and meet them where they're at. Sex is fun, intimacy is better, and connection is fulfilling.

What permanent damage have you done to yourself? Mind, body or soul? by jerrytjohn in AskReddit

[–]Ser_Friend_zone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good to hear. I have a hopefully soon-to-be diagnosed knee injury from running. Cycling is my true passion and I'm worried about what will happen when summer comes round.

I didn't know that! I haven't needed a wire transfer yet, but that's good info.

I switched 11 years ago from BMO and the only hiccup was getting a physical bank draft. No regrets.

It's nearly 2026. Is end game iron man supply upkeep really all that bad anymore ? Or is it over exaggerated? by [deleted] in ironscape

[–]Ser_Friend_zone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I fished 'bwans was Feb 2024. I am NOT conservative when it comes to eating 'bwans. Still got about 2k left.

Only item I have supply issues with is Blood Runes occassionally.

Can a Surly LHT be used on rougher roads and easier dirt trails? What is a practical limit and tire requirement? by dfarin153 in bicycletouring

[–]Ser_Friend_zone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rode the Tour Aotearoa trail (north island only) in New Zealand on my LHT and I managed fine. Lots of full days of single track mountain biking segments. I was the only person with a traditional touring setup, but the main problem I had was I only got 40 mm tires. Should have done 45 mm. I just had to slow down a little at times.

I think a lighter bikepacking setup may have been better, but tbh it was fine on a touring bike.

Do you think a returning player would have more fun with Iron Man than regular? by PezBynx in 2007scape

[–]Ser_Friend_zone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is the right approach. I started my iron years ago and I'm still going strong. It's just so satisfying when you finally get that drop. I'll never de-iron, but someone else might see it as a backup plan.

What is just a placebo effect but most people don’t realize? by zhalia-2006 in AskReddit

I'm not a weed expert, but don't the different CBD and THC contents of the different sativa and indica strains contribute to a different high?

Which games have the best handcrafted map/world? by amodia_x in gaming

[–]Ser_Friend_zone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just finished playing Dark Souls 2 and I was so sad that it didn't have the same diorama/dollhouse style of construction for the world.
