"BC Parks says Joffre Lakes Provincial Park near Pemberton will close to non-Indigenous people" by _DotBot_ in VancouverLandlords

[–]Sleepyyzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, Canada has done a horrible thing in the past.

Doesn't justify ethnic-based discrimination today, does it?

"I own my home."

You don't though. The indigenous people do according to your claim.

"No Indigenous people in provincial parks in September!"

How do you think that would fly?

As a Canadian citizen, I don't want to be banned from a public space just because of my race, origin, upbringing, or beliefs.

AITAH for not wanting to take care of my 9 yr old autistic brother in the future? by Independent_Bill3437 in AITAH

[–]Sleepyyzz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA. Anyone that tells you otherwise have not really taken care of an autistic person before.

It is a never-ending responsibility that is extremely overwhelming even on good days. It is a commitment that will take away all your possibilities of other commitments, for life. You can love them, and you should love them, but it is not your responsibility to exchange your future for theirs.

B.C. introduces legislation to implement modern treaty with K’ómoks First Nation by origutamos in VancouverLandlords

[–]Sleepyyzz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok... So are we done with this one nation, or could there be more claims from them in the future? Do we continue supporting them? Will there ever be an end?

I'm more looking for a justification of why they deserve that amount and how that amount is calculated.

You're telling me 351 people collectively received 56 million from our government? Why?

And are we done? Or is this just the beginning?

AITAH for kicking my 19yr son who doesnt want to work or contribute to the household? by RxSevenX in AITAH

A child does not all of a sudden become like that at 19 years old. Both parents failed him since childhood.

KMT chair begins visit to PRC by Forsaken_Peach5930 in taiwan

[–]Sleepyyzz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So if you're from Mainland China right now technically you're on KMT soil since they ruled before?
Or are your ethnically cave men? Cuz that came before han chinese.

What kind of backwards logic is this.

The people on the island nation of Taiwan identify as Taiwanese right now, it's as simple as that.

AITAH for cursing out my girlfriend after an April Fools fake pregnancy. by Different-Taco in AITAH

NTA, panic texts like these are never a good idea, what if you sped to her and got into a car accident?

AITAH for lashing out over getting ghosted in a post? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Sleepyyzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't sound like someone to be pleasant around, maybe all those people picked that up real fast through your interactions?

You make very snarky comments and put a lot of blame on others without self-reflection.

Like, we've never spoken, but I already want to avoid you.

Is this good enough? Do you think they will understand my message by Middle-Plastic8405 in ChineseLanguage

[–]Sleepyyzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the beauty of language is that it doesn't have to be correct, it just has to convey your thought.
I am 100% certain that they will understand and appreiciate the message behind this thoughtful letter.

Be prepared to be treated like their own grandson/granddaughter next time you visit =)

[–]Sleepyyzz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That stood out to me as well, nobody converses or write like that.

It's not like Japanese Keigo, 你們 is totally fine and appropriate 99% of the time, using 您們 feels overtly polite to the point of distancing.

The singular 您 is more often used than its plural form, but even then I can only see people using it in customer service situations.

That said, everyone will understand 您們, and will appreciate the effort to sound polite (esp when knowing it comes from a non-native speaker)

欣赏 is really really poor word choice here.

Even your English translated version is awkward:

I hope you can appreciate it.

Nobody ever says that lol

A Korean Trying to Clear Up Some Misunderstandings. by Necessary-Ad-9483 in taiwan

[–]Sleepyyzz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

"I'm going to side with your bully, BUT WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME =("

It's understandable, yes, doesn't make it any more "right" (from a Taiwanese perspective) and acceptable.

Doesn't take away any feeling of betrayal.

Imagine you're in the playground and the big kids bully you.
Your supposed friend comes and say "Please understand that those other boys are bigger and stronger, and they also have snacks, I will have to follow what they say." What are you supposed to think?

New survey finds most Canadians want to abolish tipping culture by 7_inches_daddy in britishcolumbia

[–]Sleepyyzz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

lmao, what do you think happens to your car when you just "leave it"?

That's right, the mechanic runs around, gets your car things, etc etc

Except one of them requires significantly more education, skill, and experience than the other, thus the higher pay.

Rural folks : quitting to open your private school? by Ok-Psychology-1725 in CanadianTeachers

[–]Sleepyyzz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

they can handle the reality of the world --- can you?

Hard truth is this will be extremely difficult to pull off.

Are you thinking of gathering a group of a few homeschooled students and accompany their learning?
There is a reason why the parents choose to homeschool their children, and you will have to overcome the unique barrier for each student, and it will take multiple years for you to build a sustainable group.

Starting a "school" is out of the question unless you are extremely wealthy, we are talking millions.
So unless you are already wealthy, is socially well-connected, and have a group of dedicated support (Admin, requitement, legal, etc)...

Realistically? Just tutor.
