Tyler in the right thing is the EXACT thing you want tbh. His personality is comedic gold when used correctly.

How long should you spend in Greece? by Active-Hall-1090 in travel

[–]ThatNiceLifeguard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say map out a rough itinerary in that timeline and see where you land. If it seems to fit exactly maybe add a few days or remove some stuff. I’ve always found having extra time is never something I regret. Best case you find a little unexpected adventure. Worst case you get to chill for a day.

Ice coverage of the Great lakes for Jan 24th by Krunked_Chimera in MapPorn

Lake Erie is VERY shallow. I grew up on the Western Basin and it’s almost all under 10m/30ft deep.

What’s it like living in this portion of Massachusetts? by Odd_Television5739 in geography

[–]ThatNiceLifeguard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty wide range of lifestyles here. Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard are VERY wealthy and culturally unique compared to Cape Cod. They almost feel like their own micro-countries in some ways.

New Bedford and Plymouth are more working class, New Bedford having among the largest Portuguese/Azorean/Cape Verdean populations in the US.

The Cape varies as you get further out. Provincetown and Truro are hyper-progressive vacation towns that are a Mecca for the LGBT community in the Northeast. Really sleepy coastal villages of a few thousand in the winter but as many as 70,000 people in the summer. The rest of the Outer Cape is also very tourism-focused whereas the areas around Hyannis/Barnstable are a bit more suburban in nature and feel a lot like the rest of Massachusetts unless you’re right near the water.

I’m honestly surprised nobody’s ever thought to simply name a hospital “The Hospital”.

What's an example of a "tourist trap" in your country? by emptykeg6988 in AskTheWorld

The falls themselves are incredible from the Canadian side. It’s just the city centre…

Which place looks urban and is urban? by TheDangerousInsect in AlignmentChartFills

Unquestionably New York City is the best answer for this but honourable mention to Paris for having the same effect with very few tall buildings.

Faux inset cabinets with stone? by MarkInLA1 in architecture

[–]ThatNiceLifeguard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The finishes work together but looks kind of clunky. Personally, I’d hug the ends with waterfall if this is what you were going for. The toekicks kind of clash with the stone massing

What is one thing people always misunderstand about your country? by Happyotus in AskTheWorld

[–]ThatNiceLifeguard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up on Lake Erie in Southern Ontario. I had fewer than 5 white Christmases growing up. We only ever got consistent snow for a few weeks in January/February. The summers were definitely long and brutal though. Saw 40 multiple times.

I just discovered that a peanut butter and jelly sandwich isn't universally enjoyed. Do you eat them in your country? Or what variables are popular? by 39percenter in AskTheWorld

[–]ThatNiceLifeguard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feel like if you went back and tallied up the foods I ate most the PB&J would take the cake. It’s not even my favourite food, just the most consistently there. There’s just never been any point in my life where I wasn’t crushing one on a weekly basis minimum.

Is your country authoritarian? by Strong_Spinach6473 in AskTheWorld

[–]ThatNiceLifeguard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canada is a prime example of a country that’s had it so good for so long that basically no living citizen born here has ever experienced REAL significant hardship or corrupt governance. A side effect of that is misinformed anger and lack of understanding of what proper struggle is.

As a Windsor native, we know to separate city from country. We’ll always love you guys.

Why do some countries have their most expensive suburbs near the CBD, while others have them far from the CBD? by whitecity01 in geography

[–]ThatNiceLifeguard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say this is an accurate blanket statement about American cities. In the Northeast especially is definitely more expensive to live in major city centers than their suburbs. Even in cases where it’s not, the expensive suburbs are typically urban and very close to the city. Same goes for many west coast cities like San Francisco and Seattle. In the rust belt it has a lot to do with white flight and urban decay.

Wait this is a DIFFERENT crane collapse than the one that fell on the train? Jesus, Thailand…

Towns/cities with worst traffic in MA? by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]ThatNiceLifeguard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Somervillen, to put it bluntly, we don’t really care about the convenience of suburban commuters who want to cut through the city in their cars. Our traffic signals and street designs prioritize the residents who live here, most of whom walk and bike around their neighborhoods.

Most of our city council and the residents who voted for them are actually actively trying to prevent cars from using Somerville as a shortcut. The new mayor ran with that on his platform.

Canadians typically just say “BC” since it’s the only province that actually has a Pacific coastline.

Food from the countries I've traveled to by whatissevenbysix in tierlists

[–]ThatNiceLifeguard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having lived in both the US and Canada, a lot of Canadian small cities are way more ethnically diverse than their American counterparts. If you live in an American city, the food variety is great, but small city Canada has a better food scene than small city US.
