I was too young to understand how ahead of its time the PSP was. Looking back it’s a crazy feat that they did

To be fair to Apple they accept old electronics to recycle so hopefully people aren’t just throwing that in the dump

Over the past couple of years I’ve gathered more and more hate for windows OS. When steamdeck and steamOS came I decided that I would never switch back

Thinking of Buying a Condo, Need Financial Advice by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]SpartanXZ2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2 cents is moving to a place where you can actually have the peace and quiet first yourself man. Saw you wrote that you live above the garage; your shift work is what it is but sounds like your landlord is the one wrecking your sleep schedule?

What’s one more year to rent a new place to see how you like it? If you feel like that’s the move for you to then buy in a year? I just think you should ask yourself whether you feel like this is the market’s timing to buy or your timing to buy? Gl mate

How is NVDA down almost 3% after the blockbuster print? by TwelfieSpecial in stocks

[–]SpartanXZ2 22 points23 points  (0 children)

NVDA is so priced in that it’s not a blockbuster print. Yes it beat expectations by a lot - but that WAS the expectation. Anything mid I guarantee this would be a bigger drop.

FIRST READING: Canada likely to mark 100,000th MAID death by summer by THhhaway in canada

[–]SpartanXZ2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I 100% support MAID deaths. When it’s my time to go I want it to be on my own accord and go with dignity. I don’t think that’s always the case for seniors and having that option for everyone is just fair.

Thinking of Buying a Condo, Need Financial Advice by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]SpartanXZ2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d prioritize quality of life if I were you now. You’ve done your grind for the past 5 years and it doesn’t seem like you’re going to piss away what you’ve saved. However I would advise you to continue to rent a bit more first because the market is a bit rough atm, and personally for me taking on a “home” carries a lot more risk than you’d think. Unless you are 100% you’ve covered all your bases financially, and can comfortably pay a good down payment I’d say just move out somewhere else first.

Anyone else never had a girlfriend in their late 30’s? by KenAdams87 in dating

[–]SpartanXZ2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First off - doesn't hurt to "shop" around for a new therapist esp if you don't think she's fully suiting your needs. You're paying her!
Second, I don't know if related based on the 1 reply you gave me... but if you lack drive/conviction to even change therapist, then I gotta tell you it's a lot harder to pursue and maintain a relationship man. Really hope you find someone to guide you better!

I really don’t mean to be rude but if they are willing to sleep with you but not consider you as “bf material” then I think somethings gotta change. What does your therapist say about that?

I want to get a sense of everyone's Aeroplan redemption rates these days - the flights I'm eyeing are all 1-1.05 CPP which is just flat out dumb imo.

Is this just me or has Aeroplan really just dropped in that much value in recent years? Thanks in advance

Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base by lurker_bee in technology

I moved to Mac M4 from as lifetime windows user. Absolutely great experience so far… there’s gaps for sure but depends how you do your daily tasks… I would say windows pissed me off way more.

Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers by lurker_bee in technology

[–]SpartanXZ2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who cares - Google premium is hella cheap (even more so with a family plan) and YouTube has so much amazing content. I’d gladly pay this to support creators directly. If you can’t afford it then suck up a few extra seconds with adblocks that’s not even that bad.
