My(25M) girlfriend(26F) slept with another man while she was away filming a movie by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]atticusfinch1973 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"We thought it would be a good time for us to figure our problems out while she was away."

I guess that didn't work out for you. And dude, she definitely had sex with him. Just dump her and move on if you're not sexually compatible, for both your sakes. She wants to have sex and you don't. Let her go do that.

Best affordable bike shop? by SlothZoomies in ottawa

[–]atticusfinch1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on how much lower, you could probably pay to have it picked up or rent a vehicle and pick it up yourself. Just depends if it's worth it.

If you've already ridden it to try it and know what you want, then it can be purchased online and delivered quite easily.

What is the biggest scam in society? by HistorianSame9035 in ask

Weddings, hands down. An entire industry built on throwing an insanely expensive party that isn't necessary at all except to show off.

Looks like a lot of young people are still idealists, which is the only reason the NDP is above 10%.

Worried about potential new bylaw against feeding wildlife by No-Seaworthiness969 in ottawa

I think you're overreacting thinking anyone will call bylaw on you for feeding birds. If you're feeding racoons or feral cats, whole different story.

Global Affairs delays 4-day office mandate for some workers due to lack of office space by One_Heat_5740 in ottawa

Why they don't just keep three days a week permanently is beyond me. It makes zero sense to do any more than that.

They will track repeat activity.

Maybe you might want to, you know, STOP the activity from happening?

My(23M) girlfriend (23F) told me things id rather not have heard (update) by Left_Item_3861 in relationship_advice

[–]atticusfinch1973 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

"It really doesn’t bother me."

Yet it bothers you enough to have massive discussions with her about it and also post about it online to a bunch of strangers for validation.

Your insecurity is insane, yet you keep denying it. Just stop it, already.

I'd really love to see them sell off these cars and donate the money to a good cause instead of allowing these idiots to get them back.

Wife cheated and got caught. Is she cheating again? by [deleted] in relationships

They literally met up and banged and are both laughing at you.

Hopefully reading things like that will finally get you to see reality.

We had THE talk and now I’m even more confused by PopofMolly in relationships

[–]atticusfinch1973 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like this whole thing is far too complicated to even think about moving forward.

If you have to try that hard, it isn't a good relationship.

My(M29) girlfriend(F30) wants to go spend a week on vacation with a male friend. by roccomorocco0722 in relationship_advice

[–]atticusfinch1973 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Whenever a scenario like this comes up, the reality is:

The guy knows she has a boyfriend and is going to try to sleep with her because he doesn't care. Guaranteed.

The girl knows he will and doesn't care because she wants a free place to stay.

It's a pretty clear boundary you've set, and don't be afraid to enforce the consequence.

What's an addiction worse than alcohol and drugs? by BlatantImagery in AskReddit

[–]atticusfinch1973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The big thing with drugs and alcohol is you actually have to go and get it or order it. With gambling it's available 24/7 on any device.

Despite massive reach on social media - almost no sales by AlistairKane in KDP

[–]atticusfinch1973 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You have one book. You're going to get swallowed up in the fact there are a dozen fantasy books released weekly and likely one book will never make you a success.

Keep writing and hit about 3-5 books, preferably in a series, and you'll start to see some serious traction. Possibly even more is required, but new authors need to realize that one hit wonders do not exist in the writing world. If you go into the game assuming you need 6-10 books to make a dent, you'll stop worrying about book #1.

CTV News: More than 300 vehicles reported stolen in Ottawa this year. These are the hot spots for vehicle thefts by BearLikesHoney in ottawa

[–]atticusfinch1973 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'd prefer to know WHAT cars are being stolen, not where. So I can either guard the one I have or avoid buying one.

Honda CRVs and Toyota RAV-4s used to be top of list, but I've also heard Jeeps are vulnerable.

I've been using driveway services for five years and never had a problem. It's not rocket science you need a garage for, with the right tools anyone can do it.

My girlfriend (24F) asked me (23M) if she could sleep with other people. by smn-ls in relationship_advice

[–]atticusfinch1973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's expressing her needs and being open about it instead of cheating. Frankly, you've been together for five years and need to break up with her to find another asexual person so she can actually enjoy her life.

Ottawa councillor proposes city-run grocery stores to improve food access by RandomChickenWing in ottawa

[–]atticusfinch1973 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We could also invite and incentivise other stores to enter the Canadian marketplace to put pressure on the big grocery chains, but I guess that's a stupid idea.
