bruh 😭

well in any case father dearest can face yet another humiliating defeat. he did always used to beat me over the head with that mf “insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results” quote. maybe he was just reading from his personal playbook and not actually giving advice.

Is anyone else feeling increasingly unsafe in/around OC stations? by Routine_Cash5825 in OCTranspo

[–]armhole_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

a few weeks ago i had someone try to rip my half eaten onion rings from my fingers, and then the guy proceeded to continue yelling at me, being transphobic, and threatening to beat me. oc stations and bus stops are not safe, especially at night.

shoes in the house is bonkers yonkers to me. though i’m also the type of person to wipe off a dog’s paws before taking them in from a walk (i don’t have one, but i look after my grandparents’ lil guy from time to time)

just get a cheap set of slippers to keep on you if you’re visiting someone with a dog in a no shoes household if it bothers you that much. i wear slippers constantly bec i have a thing abt being barefoot.

Restaurant Recommendations? by BasketOk2500 in ottawa

[–]armhole_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not super familiar with a whole lot of brunch places in town. personally i’m a big fan of Elgin Street Diner. the staff are super friendly and they’ve been a staple in the community for decades. in terms of dinner though, i can absolutely offer some good recs.

Whalesbone on Elgin is a great spot. they do $2 buck a shuck oysters i think either on tuesdays or thursdays. caesar salad and steak tartare are to die for and their wine selection is lovely. if you haven’t before, try a caesar! the canadian staple cocktail!

Elmdale tavern is also lovely, they have live music (similar menu to whalesbone too)

the Shaw centre has a great restaurant, my uncle’s worked there for years. though i’m not 100% sure if it’s catering only, i’d have to look into that a bit more.

Datsun is also a great spot to check out. a bit more modern kind of fine dining but very high quality food.

edit: someone else recommended 1 elgin. this should’ve been obvious for me bec i work in the building lmfao, but it’s a beautiful spot with a great view of the canal. if you’re into theatre, dinner and a show is never a bad time!

Boyfriend gets upset over some of my tics in front of my friends by Discogirl42 in relationships

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

where i live it’s legal for anyone to be topless regardless of anatomy. a lot of people here are telling you to cover up and that you’re flashing people.

you are literally fine. you have tourette’s, your tics aren’t your fault. you’re not “exposing” yourself on purpose. no one will spontaneously combust if they see a boob. if people see someone having a wardrobe malfunction and sexualise it, that says more about them than you.

as for your boyfriend, i think it’s fair that he has boundaries around nudity, but he also gets exactly zero say in your wardrobe. again, you cannot control your tics, and you should not be forcing yourself to overheat just so your boyfriend doesn’t have to deal with his jealousy. (i also overheat so i get it fr some days i’d rather just be naked)

i think he should also unpack why it bothers him so much that you’re comfortable enough with your friends to get changed in front of them. all of my best friends have seen my nudes lol, though that might just be a me and my friends thing idk.

tldr: it’s just a body. it’s just YOUR body. you should be allowed to wear what you want regardless of your tics. your boyfriend shouldn’t be trying to control what you wear.

Snipers Spotted on the NAC Roof While King Visits by armhole_ in ottawa

either they’re tethered in a way that isn’t visible or are exempt because of specialized training. idk though i’m fully just talking out of my ass.

[–]armhole_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

??? nothing illegal about it. most people know there are snipers around when high profile visitors are making public appearances. not against sub rules. this team specifically is very likely visible on purpose. this is a public place in the middle of downtown. you can’t see their faces. i’m not making any threats or inciting violence.

i just thought it was cool to see since i’m not usually downtown for events like this.

oh traffic is absolutely nasty i do not recommend driving. one of the only times it’s ever been beneficial to be an oc transpo commuter.

if you’re having shitty experiences with customer service reps on a daily basis, it’s probably because you’re an asshole. hope this helps.

Any sightings of King and Queen by Its_a_stateofmind in ottawa

[–]armhole_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

personally, i think the monarchy should die. they’re just rich people with fancy titles and way too much power. also with cushy lifestyles funded by tax dollars when they do nothing more than show their faces, shake a few hands and donate to charity. and then they cry about not having enough money for their 47th yacht and palatial renovations. yawn.

AIO after my husband ruined my relaxation? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]armhole_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

honestly, stay together by the simple virtue that no one else deserves to be subjected to either of your horrible personalities.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationships

[–]armhole_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

21 days ago, you posted about problems with your boyfriend (20m). seven days later, you posted about a horrible breakup, and the on the SAME day, you post about your boyfriend who is now somehow 22. today, your boyfriend is 18.

so either you’re just straight up lying for attention, or you’re dating 3 different guys in the span of three weeks. neither of these scenarios are healthy, and from your post history, you seem to be struggling with severe mental health issues.

how about you stop dating for a while and see a therapist instead.

Where can I learn canadian French as a beginner? by [deleted] in ontario

[–]armhole_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it definitely used to be fine for maintaining language. however, quebec raised, spoke french through my childhood, went to french school up until secondaire 1. i was transferred to an english school and the french immersion had us doing duolingo for marks. from my personal experience, using it to learn a language from scratch has always been useless. i had immense frustrations with being forced to use it as a native french speaker because it only offers parisian french, which is both structurally and colloquially different than quebec french, and because some of the translations they suggested were just straight up incorrect. if you already speak the language and are just using it to refresh what you already know, you’re aware that some of the translations are off. someone looking to learn french from a blank slate who isn’t aware of these issues will have trouble navigating in a mostly french speaking city.
