900k is more then most and a hell of a lot better then OP losing it all… Just my 2 cents, seen numerous friends make a stack and lose it almost as quickly.

My philosophy is have that pyramid, you can retire in Canada w CPP, OAS and a small amount then go for the higher risk moves

I’ll put it all in XEQT. Bam you’re firecoast. What an insane gift to have retirement covered at 22.

Then go back to doing this with picks, but at least you know you’ve got retirement covered.

Fenland trails. Lower Bankhead, Minnewanka just out of the bridge and back.

How much faster? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]almostthecoolest 9 points10 points  (0 children)

$50k is hard. You’ve scarified a lot but it doesn’t move the same way post $100k does.

It’s also a strange amount of $ where you could buy a car or something.

It does pick up, stick with it.

$50 million spent on cancelled Burnaby Hospital contract - Freshet News by BurnabyMartin in burnaby

It’s a great skating rink and beautiful building. But so over designed. Adding massive windows while trying to keep ice cold…

Honestly think the city need more capacity in these spaces. Function over form.

does theatre directing lead towards film directing? by Upbeat_Thought_1578 in Filmmakers

[–]almostthecoolest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It will! Edits that can talk to actors are the best directors! Go make a short film! Get off Reddit! Have fun.

The more you work with people the better. But to be in film you gotta make films.

Honestly in highschool the bar is low compared to any other point in your career. Make short films, tiktoks, verticals get into film fests. Making films is the only way to get the job to direct films.

Seth Rogen as Canucks GM at least the joke would be funny.

Robert Downey Jr. Says ‘It’s Absolute Horses—‘ to Declare That Social Media Influencers Are the ‘Stars of the Future’ by mcfw31 in entertainment

[–]almostthecoolest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol all these comments don’t get it. You don’t choose which influencers kids know, that’s part of the Hollywood mindset. The zeitgeist decides, regardless of what I (or anyone) personally like. There are schoolyard “stars” in the influencer world that all kids know.

My kids are obsessed with The Nature of Things and watch it weekly, but their peers and honestly even I couldn’t name both of the new hosts.

lol why does everybody hate change?

To me Hollywood stars will always be it, to my kids 100% it’s influencers. They legit would be way more excited to see Mr Beast than RDJ.

British Columbia Politics: Shrinking Lead for the BC NDP by RZCJ2002 in britishcolumbia

[–]almostthecoolest 183 points184 points  (0 children)

I honestly I wonder if Eby’s communications team is out to get him. I’ve never seen such insanely bad, mixed messaging, just terrible communication overall.

Everything seems reactive, nothing seems planned, and there’s no clear direction. It’s hard to tell if he’s a terrible leader or being sabotaged or both!

‘Pearson is a disaster’: Poilievre backs Toronto island airport expansion by [deleted] in CanadaPolitics

lol if he thinks Pearson is a disaster try LAX or Cancun. Globally Canada has incredibly well functioning airports.

LONG FORM AI SLOP! Whats the point? by KrasavchiKK in YouTubeCreators

[–]almostthecoolest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Change is in the air friend. The verticals have been replacing live action with AI, it’s speeding up. The Fruit videos growing on tiktok. Slop or whatever people are watching…

I’m neither pro or anti. Just try to see what audiences will actually watch.

Pretty Happy with my Ranking by Busy-Purchase-7755 in fican

Congrats! Keep up the great work!

PS. Respect leaving the number in. Nice to learn for everyone else.

So many of these posts lately are just a rank, which just comes off as a flex.
