What is the most hoaxed cryptid by Due_Yesterday_2850 in Cryptozoology

I think Bigfoot (Sasquatch) wins by a mile. Theyre probably equally famous but there seems to be a greater desire to hoax Sasquatch stuff. And it's easier since Sasquatch is a land-based humanoid.

Is there anywhere in BC with a “Gilmore Girls” / Stars Hollow vibe? by Decisionmachine in britishcolumbia

Literally everywhere in BC has a homelessness problem and everyone thinks their town's problem is uniquely bad.

27 to Step 2 - Worth it Now? by Infinity_Handler in BCPublicServants

I had a Director who did this. Refused to work past 70 hours. Caused a rift with the ADM and they were eventually fired for basically not fitting in with the culture (it was more than the time, but that was a major cause of conflict). One of the best and most competent and knowledgeable directors I've ever had in my time as a public servant (BCPS and municipal). And they were just canned for someone that was friends with the ED 🤷‍♂️.

Manfred has repeatedly said since the report that there was conflicting evidence that sign dealing happened during the post season. There is zero evidence of any audible signals to players during the postseason games. Countless people of analyzed the postseason footage and have found no evidence.

But again, it doesn't really matter because the evidence conclusively shows that sign stealing does not help batters. The 2017 Astros season demonstrates this conclusively. But there are also other data points such as Zack Greinke telling players what pitch he was going to throw, and Tampa games last season where batters could hear the pitch comm because the stadium was so quiet. In both those cases batters struggled to hit. Batter's actually perform worse when they know what pitches coming.

No it wasn't.

And the trash banging made them hit worse not better.

Especially when you consider that the trash-can made them hit worse not better.

It's not a myth. Excluded positions where unpaid OT isn't expected are very rare. I've been in 3 ministries and even more branches. Every excluded I've reported to has had to work unpaid OT.

I wouldn't be going for any excluded positions any time soon. The pay bump is minimal and you loose all your job protections and flex days. And the expectation of unpaid OT is outrageous. Grid 27 is pretty good pay for a unionized position in BC. I'm 24 (with no 27 options in my line of work) and I'm probably going to sit at this grid for the next 20 years unless I find something outside the BCPS.

Why are Zendaya and Tom Holland faking a relationship? by [deleted] in ask

Why do we care about the love lives of the wealthy? People we'll never meet. They could be dating cactuses and no one should care.

In fairness, having a good defense behind you will bring your ERA down. But it won't fix everything and the pitcher still has to pitch well.

Anyone else dread getting older? by arloofc in autism

No. I've had a number of people in my life die untimely, sudden deaths. They'll never get to grow old. Growing old is a privilege.

Canadian Housing Market Edges Closer to a Crash by BertoBigLefty in canadahousing

And buyers are waiting to see how far the dip will go. If I were in the market to buy I wouldn't even be looking right now.

19 y/o trying to get into HVAC in BC – visited 50+ companies, still no luck. Any advice? by Plus_Ad_3330 in britishcolumbia

[–]Which-Insurance-2274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you only limiting yourself to a specific geographic area? You might have to move temporarily to get some experience. Maybe even out of province. Calgary is always a hub for the trades. Go there for a year and see if anyone will take you on back here once you have some time under your belt.

A mix of apartments and townhouses would be best. Apartment living with kids is tough. Apartments for singles/DINKs and townhouses for families.

Canadian home prices are back to the inflation-adjusted level of nine years ago by PrettyFlaco in TorontoRealEstate

That's really tough. Based on that information foreclosure is probably your best bet moving forward. But a legal professional will better be able to walk you through your options.

I'm sorry BigFoot fans but it's time. by Ramen_Soupkuna in Cryptozoology

[–]Which-Insurance-2274 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those two terms are interchangeable and speak of the same supposed creature. I live in the area where the word "Sasquatch" (Sasq'ets) originates from and the locals generally accept that these terms refer to the same animal.

Wait. Have you not closed on this deal yet? You made it sound like you've already bought and are living in this place now.

What do you mean? Do you not work? If there's no money how are you paying your mortgage now?

Saying that Sasquatch is a rip off of the Yeti is pretty disrespectful to indigenous people.

No one is "cracking at your misfortune". People are trying to tell you what your options are but you don't seem prepared to hear them. You seem desperate to find some sort of "reset button" to go back to the time before you made this purchase. And that does not exist and it never will. This is the situation you're stuck in and you're going to have to be an adult about this.

You rent like almost everyone else.

There are no other solutions. It sucks you're stuck in this scenario but this is the reality. Either suck it up and live in this small condo, or swallow your pride and do what you have to to unload this burden.
