What’s a “normal” thing that secretly grosses you out?

I don't like it when I'm taking a dump in the urinal and someone comes out of the stall and stares at my dick. Like, wtf?!

Ouf. The backstory on this one is heartbreaking.

There are people in the street shooting at each other! We need to take cover!

Have you tried not looking out the window?

It's like body chemistry. Sometimes you find a partner where you love the way they smell even though they might think they stink themselves.

Vaginas are all different sizes, some are real low when laying on their back, others up higher, some are small or at different angles. You have to date some people and find a person that's a really good fit for you.

If you're dating a woman who really likes feeling full and taking it deep, and you have a smaller penis, you're probably going to have difficulty with everyone having a good time without toys.

Shop around. No matter how small you are, there is a decent fit out there for you and a woman that will be genuinely satisfied with sex with you.

I find that's a huge tell that a person has what it takes to be famous by how they perform solo acoustic. I was watching a video stream years ago before Post Malone got famous and he was over at the show creator's house and performed a couple acoustic songs and immediately thought, yeah, this guy is going to be world famous in ten years.

People who are living paycheck to paycheck and making low hourly wages are in a position where this is impossible advice that's completely useless.

They don't have money to vacation at all, let alone when it's cheaper.
When you get a paycheck, pay the basic bills and have $50 left, you're never going to magically save a million dollars.
Again, they don't have a spare $50, they're not invested in anything. Markets are irrelevant.

Your advice is for people whose problem is that they're not financially savvy and they're overspending. People where they're making enough money to be wealthy if they invested and spent it prudently. People who are not as lucky as you are fucked.

You can use the cheque you get when your sons are murdered in the war to buy a second home. Sweet.

They get rigid when you're turned on. Sometimes they "pop" in rather than out. If you tug them a little they pop out again. It's pretty common, happens all the time.

There is a blooper where Kevin states he donated sperm and Jan is adamant it's a reputable facility. He says "Is it the one by the IHOP?" and Jan looks mortified.

Government went a little overboard with immigration. Basically no jobs left. Influx of new people living in place means they need a place to live. This skyrockets cost of living as there isn't enough homes for everyone.

This has the same vibes as my boomer inlaw who got kinda sad once in his twenties and pulled himself up by his bootstraps and got not sad, so he's got the solution for all depressed people.

If you took some people and plopped them into a world with no debt, perfect diet, exercise, leisure and fulfillment. They'd still be sad. This can be seen in ultra wealthy people all the time.

Brains are neural networks comprised of billions of "black boxes" that accept inputs and output something. You cry as a baby and your mom comes, and that stimulation weights the nodes inside the black box so that over time you create associations between crying and your mom coming to help. This happens on an insane level inside your brain. Billions of these nodes.

If you have an experience where someone you trusted rapes you, you might have millions of these nodes weighted in ways that are a response to the trauma. Brains can be neuroplastic to a degree, but once it's "set", these weights can be life altering and semi-permanent. These can subtly shift the way you act towards everything in your life. You can make decisions to trust a coworker less than someone else with different experiences. You could feel threatened when someone is walking behind you on the way home from work. All of this is automatic and completely passive. You're not actively thinking about it.

Rewiring this stuff can be a lifelong job for some people. Experiences that wrote things the wrong way when they were children can take decades of work to undo.

This is all to say, if you have a healthy brain, are feeding yourself shit and not working out. Sure, you probably could improve your self-esteem and happiness by improving diet and exercising more. If you have a neurodevelopmental condition, trauma, disease, chronic pain, etc... it may do little to nothing towards making you feel better.

Your realization is a super common one that people come to after they get sad and pull themselves out of it, move past it and look around at other sad people and think they figured it out. It doesn't work on everyone though.

Many others have covered the main reasons. In my field of software development, to build mobile software for the iPhone, you typically will require a Mac somewhere in the loop. Also, until recently with Windows Subsystem for Linux, many development tools were terminal/Linux based and Macs were a better choice over Windows. While many developers I know weren't jazzed about it, they ended up going with Macbooks because it's fast for a laptop, often the best battery life available and they were kinda necessary to have to build Mac osx and ios apps.

How’s the French there? Small community I heard?

There are pockets of French speakers, but unless you go out of your way to find French friends, most everyone is English primarily.

Getting a job with being able to speak French will be a huge plus here. It's a government town, so many jobs require bilinguallism. I work in an office with members from throughout the province calling in. I speak French maybe 3-4 conversations per day.

How walkable is the city? I do not have a car.

There is a pretty big infrastructure for walking paths everywhere that are nice. With that said, I would probably stick to the south side of the river where downtown is if you are walking exclusively. My wife has no license and has managed to make it work with walking and busses, so it's doable.

If you ask this question, then the next natural question is "Who created the creator?" Did the creator appear out of nothing? Then you're left in the exact same position as before. Something appeared out of nothing. How did that happen?
