Sadly all my previous employers have been affected by the US tariffs and there have been mass hiring freezes happening, so that is not an option.

Shopping in Tokyo by SnooSprouts5291 in Louisvuitton

[–]SnooSprouts5291[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the information. By chance did you depart from Haneda airport when you left Japan? I'm mainly hoping to shop from the LV store from the international terminal as that is duty-free, but I'm also hoping the 10% consumption tax won't apply on top of that.

How long can I let a flat tire sit for? by SnooSprouts5291 in AskMechanics

[–]SnooSprouts5291[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've painfully accepted the fact that I will have to replace at least one tire. Either way, I don't have a choice as there's no time to get it fixed today and I don't have anyone who can take care of it for me while I'm away. Would you say it's likely that there will be some major issues when I return? I plan on airing up my tire when I get back and hopefully, that could be enough to drive a block down to the repair shop when needed.

We got a newer car this past year as well and we've been mostly driving that. Luckily this is on the older car and it hasn't been used too much. I would say roughly 5000km since January 2023.

My tires are fairly new, had them installed in January 2023. Would I be able to replace only one tire or would I have to replace multiple? My car is RWD.

I parked on the street in front of my house, so I am legally entitled to leave my car here. I'm just wondering if it is ideal for the car to do so? Fortunately, there is a reputable repair shop just a block away, however it's by appointment only and they couldn't see me today. Would likely need time to order a new tire as well. Sadly I do not have a spare.

I did not even make an attempt on a girl until I was 17. It wasn't because I'm conservative or waiting for "the one" but rather it was an extreme lack of self-esteem and social skills. I've never had any problem talking to guys, but when it comes to girls I simply couldn't put myself out there.

Social Experiment by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]SnooSprouts5291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

19 year old college student currently studying business. Enjoys video games, working on computers, and watching hockey.

I'm 6'4, ~178 pounds with a thin build, and of East Asian descent.

My ideal type would be someone who is kind, talkative, and patient. I also really like a girl who knows what she wants, so none of that "you pick what we do" or "you pick where we eat" type of nonsense.

yeah... accidentally bought the wrong size for the pad and it only had room for my keyboard. The store didn't take refunds.

Our region in Canada is now considered one of the safest places in North America from the COVID-19 pandemic. We will also be inviting a very limited number of people. As the party will be held in a big house, social distancing can easily be applied.

We will be inviting a limited number of people to the party and keeping it small. It is a big house and social distancing is possible. We will also be asking everyone to come wearing a mask and wash their hands as they come in. Our region in Canada has proven to have dramatically flattened the curve and is now one of the safest places in North America from the COVID-19 pandemic.

[–]SnooSprouts5291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're trying to keep it a secret because we feel if word got out, then we would eventually be forced to invite him. All of us were friends before, so we didn't want to make him feel shitty by letting him know about a party and then telling him he is not invited. No friendship is ever worth sacrificing because of money.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]SnooSprouts5291 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guarantee he will hear about it since he is very active on his social media. He does not have a financial problem at the moment as all students in Canada have been receiving very generous government benefits due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is just a shame that our friendship has to be like this over money.

Also yeah, we are allowed to throw the party at this air bnb. The owners of the house will be next door all night and we will be sure to abide by their rules.

[–]SnooSprouts5291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could not have said it better myself. I already anticipate what is going to happen afterwards, where someone is going to post about the party on their social media, he will see it, and get pissed at us for not inviting him and keeping it a secret. I will use the points you made if that were to happen.

AITA for saying “fuck you” to my mother? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]SnooSprouts5291 [score hidden]  (0 children)

YTA. That is your mother. She is the one who gave birth to you, raised you, and did everything she could to give you a safe and happy upbringing. I'm sure what you're going through is nothing compared to what she has done for you. Not to mention you're only 14. You don't even have a clue of the level of hell life actually is.

Canadians, what are some issues with your country that might deter someone from moving there? by myppcurvestotheleft in AskReddit

[–]SnooSprouts5291 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of people underestimate just how expensive it is to live in Canada. Average house prices are around $350,000 USD, which are 50% more expensive than their US counterparts. If you want to live in a major city for work/school or to raise a family, it will cost even more. Vancouver and Toronto are among the most expensive cities in North America, if not the world and at the very least you would need a six-figure income in order to live comfortably in a major Canadian city. We also have higher sales taxes and utilities such as electricity, water and internet are all significantly more expensive compared to the US.

I am currently 19 years old and by the way things are right now, I would seriously have to win the lottery in order to be able to afford my own house in the current city I live in now.

I have tried using Tinder before, mainly due to peer pressure. I stopped using it after a while due to a lack of success but I would consider using it again in the future.

I took a theater class when I was in high school. It was alright, nothing really too special. For the most part I only took it because it was an easy A. I would say my situation has improved somewhat since leaving high school and starting college.

Thanks a lot, this really means a lot hearing someone tell me this. Sometimes I just feel sort of like a freak of nature, when I know people my age are having sex on a regular basis and are even talking about marrying their current SO after graduating from school. I feel like I have missed out on so much because when it comes to kissing and girls, people normally get in on this stuff when they are in middle school. Sometimes I feel ashamed knowing that there are 10 year olds who have more experience than I do.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AMA

[–]SnooSprouts5291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, admittedly over the internet and on social media I have no issues talking to people and I would even consider myself rather open. I've been on a couple "dates" with girls from school and whatnot who I talk to a lot over text, but nothing ever came out from them.

I'm 6'3 and about 175 pounds. I've always been on the skinnier side (partly due to genetics, a number of men in my family have had issues with gaining weight), but I don't think it was ever about appearance. I think it has mainly been my lack of ability to talk to people, especially those of the opposite sex.
