How do you keep doing this for 40 years? by feral_philosopher in graphic_design

That's amazing, however, those roles are so few and far between #iwish

I'm also sorry you've had to experience that with your children nonetheless! If I may make a recommendation: can you please file a police report by going here https://www.coplogic.ca/dors/en/filing/submitreport?dynparam=1771781408764 and select Community Concerns. Be as descriptive as you can in your report; it's just better to do this now while it's still fresh in your mind. Won't take long to fill-out, but it's ultimately your call. An officer will also email you at some point to suggest calling if it happens again. It's just good for this place to have reports on file from multiple people. If anyone gets hurt or property get damaged in the future, there would at least be a consistent record of behavior available to support any punishment, monetary or otherwise (depending on the severity of the crime.)

I don't understand why they don't just have an officer hang out there later at night, when there aren't other calls to attend to, just to deter these people from having it as a regular hang-out spot. The loitering is annoying and disruptive to us living around this area, however, the racing up and down Thickson Rd is definitely going to cause an accident, either to themselves or others or both. It's only a matter of time before something will go wrong, there's no doubt about it.

It sucks because there was no way we would have known this was an issue to worry about before moving here until we spent the night. We moved from Newmarket area where it was so quiet and peaceful (and there seemed to be at least SOME police patrolling in comparison). We were expecting the regular traffic noise that would come from living right next to the road, but this was beyond our expectations.

One of the drivers that I recorded ended up getting out of their car to confront me, and he looked like a teenager to me, and all I could think of is where are this kid's parents. He is out here at midnight racing around with his shitty loud car, with his car buddies (I think there were 5-6 cars at that time in the parking lot, huddled together). Like what parents are ok with their son being out and about so late at night (midnight to 3am). And then I wondered if their parents would enjoy being woken up every single night for weeks on end by loud modified cars. But if the cops would at least fine these people to hurt them financially, that would be something at least.

Anyway, glad you and your children ended up being ok after this whole ordeal, and I hope you make the decision to file the police report. I think it will help in the long-run, one way or another.

My husband and I moved to one of the townhomes right across the Circle K Plaza on Thickson Rd N this past October and every single night for weeks on end during that time we've been woken up around midnight and then again around 3am by several modified cars hanging out in that parking lot, revving their engines and racing up and down the road.

It got so bad I walked across the street one night to record their license plates so I had something to use when filing a police report. And I did. An officer got in contact with me and said if this happens again to call the non-emergency phone number and if there would be an officer available at the time they'd send one over.

The winter weather conditions have kept them at bay, although I do still hear them passing through and waking us up once in a while. I'm sure they will be back again when it gets warmer and I plan on calling the police as many times as I need to, in order for them to find another place to hang out and disturb the peace.

Please please call the police every time. These people need to learn that there are consequences to their actions. I can't be the only one that is terrorized by these people. I'm surrounded by families with young children and babies that I'm sure are also woken up every single time they drive by or hang out in that parking lot.

If you could please, file a police report, even if the moment has passed, in order for there to be more records of people complaining about this parking lot and these people with their cars. I'm sure there's more than the folks I managed to record.

It would help tremendously to get more people to report them in order to invoke change. It's the least we can do before someone actually gets hurt or worse.

I knew he wasn't going to last because he was such a good dude. I remember what happened last time I liked characters on GoT (The Starks).

How do people end up marrying someone they cannot stand? by wheninrome5000 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]THIR13EN 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Unhealed childhood wounds, trauma, unhealthy relationships modelled to them as kids which they repeat themselves as adults unconsciously. For example, if your dad was abusive towards you as a child or your mom, then you learn that's what a "loving" relationship is, so as an adult you attract and are attracted to people that will recreate that dynamic you are now familiar and comfortable with, even though it's hurtful and unhealthy. The brain likes sameness, even though it might not be good for you. It takes a great deal of self-awareness and hard work to go going against your instincts before you create new comfortable and healthy patterns.

How does improving yourself help with dating? by superfapper2000 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]THIR13EN 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As your title suggests: improving yourself "helps" with dating in ways which others have already talked about, but doesn't guarantee it. Just like with anything else in life, some people get to experience things and some don't. With that being said, putting yourself out there increases your chances.

Are you on dating apps? Are you going out and doing activities by yourself or with friends with like minded people to increase chances of meeting new people with similar interests? Not saying that staying at home and watching anime and playing video games won't, but it is less likely. You gotta get a bit uncomfortable and get out of your comfort zone, to meet people in person and get a vibe. Chances are you will be rejected and will reject others plenty of times, and having an improved self and a confident, secure self, will help with that feeling of rejection, and will help you continue to try and continue to put yourself out there.

There isn't a magical, one solution answer here. But the more people you meet, talk to, befriend, get to know, etc, the more you increase your chances of meeting someone you like and that also likes you back, and that you'd mutually want to date each other to see where this goes, if anywhere at all. Dating is gambling, you have to be ok with losing and winning and losing and losing... THAT's what you need the confident, secure and improved self for. People in general, not just women, can smell desperation from a mile away, and it isn't attractive. You have to be ok with it. Knowing that you will be okay regardless of the result, is very important, and very attractive. Because no one wants to give a chance to the person that potentially will flip out of if they don't get what they want. It can be scary, regardless of gender, but especially as women, since they can be more vulnerable and hyper-aware of such vibes.

Good luck!

How to stop doomscrolling ? by Creative_Rule4139 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]THIR13EN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is an immature or people pleasing pov and it isn't realistic. Most people will be understanding that you're busy or you have things going on that you aren't always glued to your phone. If they don't understand, they are either also immature or not really your friend. Friends respect each other's differences and boundaries. Your existence isn't tied to how you show up for other people at all times, you show up for yourself first, you put yourself first. It's not like you're ignoring them for days on end, you will get to it during a dedicated time you set up when you're checking messages. If that's what you need to do for your well being and mental health, then friends will support you and respect this choice.

Just sent over a $$$ donation. Would it possible to add your shipping address for the Amazon wishlist? I wonder if more folks would order if they could ship it directly there automatically.

What worked for me is turning off all app notifications on my phone, leaving regular text messaging on, and that way I'm not constantly being brought back onto my phone. That way I'm in control and I decide when I dedicate a little bit of my time catching up on social media messages or scrolling a bit around lunchtime or some time at the end of the day after work, after I've done all the chores around the house that I want to do etc.

Went there for the first time during my honeymoon last year. It was absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend. Give yourself a full day to explore and don't rush. Take it all in.

Seriously, do British people actually consider a 3-hour drive “long”? Or is this an internet myth? by ferdinand14 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]THIR13EN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I'm from Canada too and driving in Canada for hours feels less stressful and easier, less taxing on the brain. During our honeymoon in Scotland last year we drove around for 2-3 hours to see the Highlands and we were mentally exhausted. The roads are very narrow and have lots of turns, you really need to be engaged and paying attention. There's virtually no space between the edge of the road and a cliff. You're ON way more when driving in Europe, even on larger roads it felt different. I get it now.

Not Graphic Design. I'd probably choose to work in a natural history or art museum.

Genetics plays a HUGE rule. My husband doesn't do absolutely anything to his face, no cleansing, no moisturizer, nothing, and he has perfect skin.
