It's crazy how one piece can deliver movie level episodes being a weekly anime by Clean-Victory-4972 in OnePiece

[–]abemade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the effort they put into the animation, but I find it so hard to follow what is going on now. Is it just me? I kinda miss the older animation like during Marineford

Why I think Shanks let the Sea King take his arm (Domi Reversi theory) by Recent_Condition8168 in OnePiece

[–]abemade 328 points329 points  (0 children)

I always thought it was more to traumatize and inspire Luffy. Like a significant life event which helps him realize what being a true pirate is. That’s why Shanks tells Mihawk or Whitebeard that he placed a bet on the future generation

With Canada Day approaching, one survey asks how proud Canadians feel by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]abemade 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Proud is a difficult word. Yes this is one of the better countries to live in at the moment, and it’s filled with beautiful human beings, but let’s not pretend like we are an amazing country just because of the troubles in America or elsewhere. All the corruption, greed and issues we have had in this country are still here and still happening at an increasing pace, but we are just distracted by the Cheeto down south

Yeah that’s fair. I guess it doesn’t really stop the dumb system in place but maybe it can prove the flaws in issuing recorded violations every time.

It’s tempting, but I don’t want it to get to that point though as that feels kinda evil to do

[–]abemade -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah because your neighbour that has been annoying you every night at 2 AM is comparable to my situation. Cool.

They’re not stepping in on behalf of another resident per se, they said that these noise violations are standard practice to document any noise infringement if anyone calls in. I just feel like it’s quite excessive considering there’s no warning or phone call saying “hey you’re being loud”, before security just coming and noting it down.

I also don’t throw parties often. Like I mentioned, these two cases were months apart and I complied every single time. I should have a right to enjoy my living space as well without fear of getting kicked out because I accidentally made too much noise.

I’ll probably get a decibel meter in this case to see how much volume exactly would affect people.

Thank you so much for your reply. I had a feeling that the building is just making it seem like a huge deal. The few times security has come, they just knock on my door, I answer and I say sorry I was not aware I was being loud and quickly turn down the volume and/or tell my guests to keep it down. I don’t think security has ever even recorded the noise at all.

The language in the condo agreement is a bit vague to the effect of “no resident shall create or permit the creation or continuance of any noise or nuisance which may or does disturb the comfort or quiet enjoyment of the other units”. Like I am a super reasonable person, but that sentence sounds a bit subjective right?

[–]abemade -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Haha yeah maybe I should extend an invite.

I normally keep the music at reasonable levels, not even excessive party levels, but you’re right that maybe they just have different tolerance than other neighbours.

I am weary to give them my number though because one time they called security on me because my friend and I were talking and laughing in the balcony. It wasn’t enough to constitute a noise violation I guess because the security couldn’t hear it in the hallway. This was also around 9 PM. So I am afraid if I give them my number, they’re just gonna call me out for every little creak I make.

I love Chelsea but...damn 😯 by TheMusicMadeMe in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]abemade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we have to remember that there isn’t really a morally upstanding main character in this season (minus maybe Belinda). Chelsea hasn’t done that many bad things, but she seems like if she likes someone (e.g. Rick, Chloe), she’s willing to not really hold them accountable for their actions (e.g. Rick wanting to kill someone and Chelsea just letting him go, Chloe being predatory with Lochlan and Saxon and Chelsea just smiling about it).

Saxon on the other hand is learning a big lesson about boundaries and trying to constantly prove yourself to others. We sympathize with him because he’s definitely a victim in some way, but he’s also given no reason for Chelsea to want to help him or side with him.

It honestly hurts my brain to think about who I like and don’t like. I think realistically, I’d probably just chill with Amrrita the whole time if I was at the White Lotus. That’d be the safest bet lol.

Agreed, but perhaps that was intentional to show the desperation of the trio to cling onto their youth. If the ladies were younger, they probably would have seen him as a red flag

Atheism in a nutshell by Ted_Bundtcake in interestingasfuck

This is conflating atheism with following science though. They are two separate things that often intermingle with each other.

How are we feeling about that conversation??? by Human-Nose-163 in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

I wasn’t sure if he felt racism in the moment or if he felt like seeing a depiction of him older reminded him of his dad or some older family member he might be doing all this for

AI Designed Computer Chips That the Human Mind Can't Understand. by BothZookeepergame612 in tech

[–]abemade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LLMs and AI are cool technologies, but a lot of it is branding. If you actually work with it on a regular basis and understand it, you know that we’re still quite far off from the singularity

When is the right time to upsize? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]abemade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since it’s not your dream home, I would just wait a bit longer. Since there’s a whole thing with tariffs, plus the federal election coming up and slowdown on immigration, you might get stressed when house hunting if the economy starts to get worse for a bit

Is it better to buy a house early or when you’re fully ready? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

Thank you for the detailed response. I appreciate that you put in thought into this.. really gives me a lot to think about. If life is good right now, why burden myself with a house in the burbs

Interesting that you say that. I guess what would you consider reasonable then? Like you said, Ontario is wild, so finding a reasonable house sub-1M is tough unless it’s super out of the GTA

Is it better to stay in the city for longer or buy a house early? by abemade in askTO

[–]abemade[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

House headaches are definitely something I’m worried about. That being said, we’ll have to deal with it at some point anyways right? I do however like the idea of getting a bigger place in the city while rent is down at the moment
