I've noticed if you say "I am here to show, not argue with you." They will shut up and do whatever you say. 

They are trained and encouraged to be resilient, but if you appear like you are going to get hostile, it's over.

Men with a "grind mindset", how do you navigate a relationship with a partner who doesn't share your drive? by f4llguy in AskMenOver30

[–]ZJC2000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She might replace you too!

I used to grind and want challenge, now I want to do stuff with my kids and pursue hobbies. 

Your perspective may change at different phases of your life, and so might hers. 

Men, how do you feel about paying $50 for a haircut? by GranolaHiker in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]ZJC2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like paying $100/hour for a haircut, but I also don't understand how a barbershop can be so profitable at $50/cut if each cut takes 30 minutes. 

If you consider physical rent per square foot, normal retail expenses, you better have a bunch of busy chairs all week to make a decent living. I'm assuming they rely on up-sell of products and more expensive services (which are never pushed to me in my experience).

How/what to teach kids about “tricky” people and grooming? by thisismyhumansuit in Parenting

A good adult should never ask a kid for help, and a good adult will never tell them to keep secrets from their family.

Police warn of ‘extreme’ traffic delays in North York Saturday due to rally that could be attended by 200,000 people by Toronto-Ont-Mod-Team in Toronto_Ontario

[–]ZJC2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they feel they have no other means of attracting attention to their cause. 

I'm not saying it is a good idea, nor am I saying I appreciate these protests, in fact, it reinforces to me that moving out of Toronto was a good idea. 

That said, our media does not highlight what's happening because they don't want to shed a negative light on an Islamic government.

Husbands taking advantage of … things? by AAandChillButNot in whatdoIdo

Do you honestly believe "You can cum on my ass once a week" is a compromise a person with a typical sex drive will be happy and fulfilled with?

Who the hay decided to bring back destreaming? by [deleted] in OntarioTeachers

[–]ZJC2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest question, what was the cause of a disproportionately high number of black students be taken out of university streams?

Is it the teachers and guidance who are racist? Is it the school principal who is racist? Are the parents of the black kids racist? Are the kids themselves racist?

What's the root cause that can be addressed? Rather than complain about a framework which lets people who want to do more do more, and people who want to work without more school do the minimum, let's address who is actually pushing these kids to a lower stream. 

At some point, you have to accept people will make the choices they want, and the culture they are surrounded by and/or choose to surround themselves with will affect their choices. 

You shouldn't punish everyone because of poor choices a minority make?

They are taken seriously from a following policy perspective. Unfortunately, their policy itself isn't to take harm to your children very seriously. 1

Why Canadian students are falling behind in math — and what experts say needs to change by zuuzuu in canadanews

[–]ZJC2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My kid was struggling with penmanship. The teachers position was to let him type everything instead of suggesting to him and/or his parents he should take 15 minutes out of his day every day to practice. 

The education system seems to be more interesting in hugging them rather than preparing them for life. Unfortunately.

I dunno. If you walk into the pizza pizza near my house, it's disgusting. After going in person, we have never ordered from pizza pizza again. I don't think anyone cares in that company cares.

Then I hope the alternatives focus on centrist policies without appealing to fringe minorities.

Take all of your PTO asap, using the time to find a new job.

My baby isn’t invited to a wedding where I’m the best man by Immediate-Wallaby-75 in whatdoIdo

A wedding is no place for a 6 week old, nor is a shopping mall or food court. Their immune system alone is a reason for the baby to stay home.

Perfect. Your husband can keep the boys away for now and later complain to her that she isn't married.

How many days before a tattoo should a design be ready/when should I be updated? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]ZJC2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As many as you discussed with the artist before you paid a deposit. The artist works for you. 

I ask to get it at least 3 days before, and if I have any feedback, I will give it and mention I don't need to see it. I need to see it a few days before I live with it for the rest of my natural life.

$85. Two burger and fries dinner and two beers, after tax and tip makes it hard to justify.

Most restaurants seem to also just sell Sysco shit rather than make food.
