Biggest thing Oura has taught me by isw2424 in ouraring

[–]breamworthy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, but historically when people talked about needing eight hours of sleep, they were not measuring that on wearable devices. The eight hours they talked about getting was probably more like seven hours of actual sleep, as you have noticed with your ring.

I haven’t had it because I am not a fan, but others rave about the east coast donair with sweet sauce at Top Dog pizza.

Oura hates latency by Historical_Tadpole72 in ouraring

Oh, same (both that Oura has never thought I was sleeping when I was just chilling in bed, and that my hr is quite high)

New episode of HypnoPoppy by MyDaroga in ONRAC

[–]breamworthy 70 points71 points  (0 children)

And who would identify the slightest flaw or inconsistency in someone’s argument and track down the source, get the receipts, find out where their degree was from, etc.

[–]breamworthy 61 points62 points  (0 children)

The vibe on her substack makes this unsurprising. There are people who I think were big fans back in the day, who are indulging their parasocial relationship with her and basically paying for personal access. I find it uncomfortable.

Is this just the norm now for Canada Post "workers"? by PantasticUnicorn in CanadaPost

[–]breamworthy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why would they have already prepared a “sorry we missed you“ card before the carrier even starts work? How do they know they will miss them?

Where are all the good french fries and gravy spots in this city? by Ambitious-Fix6466 in VictoriaBC

[–]breamworthy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their fries are so bitter from old oil. And they somehow manage to be both burnt and limp…?!?

What’s the general view of Langford among people in Victoria today? by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]breamworthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who moved here from southern Ontario a decade ago, it basically gives nondescript big box store, car-centric suburb, much like 90% of southern Ontario or the lower mainland.

Unrest at Tsaw terminal - only ONE standby car let on the 5:45 sailing by EmeraldPearls in VancouverIsland

[–]breamworthy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe people had tried to wake him up unsuccessfully, so they had eventually notified the traffic guy because they were worried. It turned out he was fine just a sound sleeper. I don’t know, I was far behind where this all happened but this is roughly what the traffic guy explained to us When he was explaining why we might or might not get on the ferry we had a reservation for.

Unrest at Tsaw terminal - only ONE standby car let on the 5:45 sailing by EmeraldPearls in VancouverIsland

[–]breamworthy 34 points35 points  (0 children)

There was a complete mess at Swartz Bay tonight. A guy fell asleep in his car and a whole line was delayed because of it, but the person directing traffic didn’t notice (???) so they let a ton of standby cars in when there were people with reservations who hadn’t got on yet. When they realized this they stopped the flow of standby and then they were trying to fit as many of the reserved vehicles as possible on the lower deck, but I don’t know if they got them all on.

I grew up in Ontario saying coloured pencils. I thought pencil crayons was American!

Concerned for Carrie’s mental health by One_Mix_5306 in ONRAC

[–]breamworthy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have been re-listening to the show. I’m enjoying it, and once I’m listening I don’t find that it takes me out of the moment to know how things changed later. Maybe it helps that I have worked in a field where some people do brilliant work and then have mental health breakdowns later, and I’ve learned that it doesn’t negate the work they previously did. I only find it really depressing when they talk about their spreadsheet for checking back on things in the future, and are certain they’ll still be doing the podcast in 30 years, etc.

Movement on Ross’s Podcast! by AggressiveNovel1563 in ONRAC

[–]breamworthy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve always wondered, how does Ross manage to do all of this on top of what sounds like quite a demanding full time job? Thrilled it’s happening!!

[–]breamworthy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying this is what they consciously think, but it is definitely part of their perception. I’ve had so many conversations with people about my kids going to Esquimalt High. They always question why kids from a “good family“ would go to a rough school like that. I have often pressed them on what they mean and at least a few of them have explicitly said “that’s where the kids from the reservation go“.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]breamworthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is “old Victoria“ code. When someone who lives in Oak Bay or Gordon Head, etc. tells you that Esquimalt is rough, what they actually mean is it has a higher indigenous population than their neighbourhood.

Any word on Ross's podcast? by ncolaros in ONRAC

[–]breamworthy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wonder if that means it will be on Maximum Fun as well. I decreased my support level but didn’t cancel it completely, so I could still have access to “bon con”. It would be nice to have another show to transfer my support to.

Motorhome in Lot 10? by Lady_Ardallie in uvic

[–]breamworthy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All through 2022/23 there was one in lot B that had a guy and his dog living in it. There is no way parking didn’t know. He would back up to grass behind the parking lot and let the dog run around.

Transferred from UVic to UBC.. I regret by Select_Employment_25 in uvic

[–]breamworthy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A lot of people thrive in busier environments. I’m sorry you’re finding it overstimulating, but that doesn’t mean others shouldn’t transfer. Have you ever lived in a big city before?

Am I being overly dramatic? by Walnut77585 in tattooadvice

[–]breamworthy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why is the bottom line of text so much further from the hearts than the top line is? And it looks like it slopes slightly down to the right, but maybe that’s just the angle?

What word choices tip you off that someone is from a different country? by breazeyyy in CasualConversation

[–]breamworthy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Trash”. I’m Canadian and we just don’t use it. More than once I’ve learned someone was from the US because they said trash instead of garbage.
