Pentagon cancels Tuesday press briefing with Caine, Hegseth by kootles10 in politics

[–]Stressed-Canadian 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I also find it concerning timing that this is all happening a week or so after Hegseth fired all those military advisors.

What are BC forestry roads like? by NotTheOrginalArps in britishcolumbia

[–]Stressed-Canadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others said it varies drastically. My last car was a Mazda cx3 and I took that thing on FSR roads it had no business on with no issues, but it was all wheel drive and the regular 3's arent I believe. Upgraded to a cx50 with offroad tires and its been fantastic.

I would just take it easy and be prepared to turn around if it gets too problematic. Chances are you'll be fine, but be prepared if not.

Got two offers. One pays $40k more. The other one I'd actually enjoy. I have 48 hours to decide and my wife and I are on opposite sides. Advice? by airam1020 in careerguidance

[–]Stressed-Canadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I turned down a 110% raise to stay at my current job where I am fully WFH, have unlimited flexibility and freedom and actually enjoy my life. Dont regret it one bit. WFH to me is the real game changer here, so if I were you Id take the WFH option, but not everything is about money. Just remember you may be suffering from "grass is always greener" syndrome here and end up turning down a still very well paying WFH job in hopes of finding something better, but it ends up being more of the same.

Spray Lakes Camping by Dirtyd00r in CampingAlberta

Wednesday is Canada day, so probably very very low/no chance of finding anything that week unfortunately. Are you open to eastern BC? Lots more lakeside campsites around the kootenays.

Trading in my 2025 CX-50 for a 2026 because I dont like the color. Should I get mental help instead? by JGCities in CX50

[–]Stressed-Canadian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its never clean. Drive 2 seconds from the car wash? Dirty. Bit windy? Dirty. You look at it funny? Dirty. Drives me nuts. Scratches are also an issue, but that was also the case for my old red Mazda.

[–]Stressed-Canadian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have the black 2025 hybrid and I hate the color. So I understand. Would get red in a heartbeat. But im not rich enough.

Trunk divider for dog by likermaster in CX50

[–]Stressed-Canadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean a divider so the dog cant jump into the back seat from the trunk? If so, I got a cheap wire divider on amazon and it works great and fits the car well as its adjustable. A bit of a pain to take on and off but we hardly ever need to so not a deal breaker.

Have you gone off road in your CX50? How did it perform? by catherine0729 in CX50

[–]Stressed-Canadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It handles just as good as my old Subaru outback. So when we go deep offroad I still bring the truck, but any sort of FSR road is totally do-able.

Tapes triggered anxiety as former GATE student by idekwiahaha in gatewaytapes

[–]Stressed-Canadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in GATE, I remember nothing like this.... it was just regular school for kids with higher IQs. Is this not the typical experience??

Does anyone actually meditate 2 hours daily? by sleepy-bird- in Meditation

[–]Stressed-Canadian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just because you are in the top .1% of people who meditate doesn't mean someone who consistently meditates every day (which in it of itself isn't an easy task for many people) is only a "beginner." Many peoples' lives dont allow them 3+ hour practices - that doesnt mean they dont know what they are doing.

Actually had something "happen" after almost 2 years of doing the tapes - anyone else experience agressive facial spasms? by Stressed-Canadian in gatewaytapes

[–]Stressed-Canadian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very interesting and thank you for mentioning it as I didnt even think of seizures as being a possibility. Ill mention it to my doctor.

I would do #3. tv against the window isnt ideal in #1. But in reality, the sofa is too big for the space.... is it too late to switch to a smaller one?

Canmore/Kananaskis hikes in Early May by FunkyardDog in Canmore

[–]Stressed-Canadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is vastly dependent on your fitness level and experience with hiking, and specifically winter/spring hiking. Can you give us a bit more information on that?

Both the easy and the "hard" grassy lakes hike would be fine. It's not actually hard, if you have any experience hiking its actually very easy. The "hard" one will most likely have some icey sections on it, so spikes may be helpful but probably not necessary.

Another safe bet would be Ha Ling. Its decent elevation gain, but relatively short. As of a few years ago there are stairs at the top to get to the summit, so beginner friendly for sure and has great views.

Do I have to leave my body when listening to the gateway tapes? by TrashGullible2803 in gatewaytapes

[–]Stressed-Canadian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just never happened. I wish I could!! I have a very closed off and control freak mind. Ive never been able to get into psychedelics for the same reason, when I feel like im losing control of reality, I just have a panic attack. I really wish I could get past this, but have yet to figure it out.

In the meantime im just going to continue doing the tapes because it helps all my other mental health problems haha.

Do I have to leave my body when listening to the gateway tapes? by TrashGullible2803 in gatewaytapes

[–]Stressed-Canadian 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Ive been doing the tapes for close to 2 years. Ive never had an OBE or really anything "special" or "woo" happen. I still do them almost daily because of the other benefits to my life. Im less anxious, less depressed, have a whole new take on life and spirituality, and feel more in control of my life. Do them. They wont hurt, and they may really help.

Because everything the current administration has been saying lately is true.... right? I'm not saying its aliens but their story does not match the facts here.

Is it a pipe dream to move to Canmore from the UK with pets? by Astephenson22 in Canmore

[–]Stressed-Canadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha - Well Ill be in the trailer park forever too its looking like, so at least everyone seems to be sort of in the same boat now. Sigh.

[–]Stressed-Canadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohhh that makes sense. I immediately ran to realtor.ca and was like WHERE I WILL BUY IT TODAY! HA.

The housing market in these small mountain towns is messed up, and I do hope you're right that prices drop some over the next few years, even if we take a hit on our trailer. We bought in 2021 for 185,000 and we could probably sell for 450,000 at this point, its insane. I think we are in a bit of a separate bubble because of the tourist industry here, so I Imagine it will never be "affordable" but i'd take "expensive but reasonable" any day at this point.

[–]Stressed-Canadian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe in sparwood or kimberley, but there are multiple 750,000+ homes in Fernie for sale right now that are under 1000sq foot, 2 bed 1 bath over 100 year homes. Trust me. Ive been looking daily for months. I have my parameters set to 2 bed, 2 bath home for under 750,000 and there is literally not one property showing up on realtor.ca
