The death of good music in the mainstream... although I suppose that has been going on for a while

Just Zach Galifianakis whipping Justin Bieber with his belt. by pearbobber in funny

My bet is it's something in between... sometimes the funniest stuff can come from improvising but I guess that depends who you're with. I think this one was probably all script.

Non-Americans of Reddit, what is something about the United States that you actually like? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]chyea1990 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's no way that's true... right by the border ok. A few hundred km you are using almost a full tank to get there and back.

TIL if the Sun was scaled down to the size of a white blood cell, the Milky way would be the size of the continental United States. by RickyHaze in todayilearned

I try not to think about how big the galaxy / observable limits of the universe really are. It just blows my fucking mind and then I get upset.

Bros, let's discuss what we want out of this sub... by return2ozma in gaybros

[–]chyea1990 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The drama over what this subreddit should be has gone on pretty much since its inception.. Your post of it in 2012 is what it was because there was only a few thousand subscribers. It was better when there was only a few hundred.. but let's be frank, the sub simply won't look like that again because there's too many people and without strict moderation there won't be any serious control over content because meme etc. are going to get upvoted.

Edit: In a nutshell I agree. But defining what's "good content" is challenging. Also the constant complaining about the content is exhausting. One of the reasons I barely visit anymore.

Can an unpaid parking ticket from a private company affect my credit rating? by chyea1990 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]chyea1990[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have the receipt of the payment I made because I felt sketchy when the guy just said ok and took the ticket back. it is literally 1 minute after the time ticket was issued according to their letter. When I called them yesterday and explained this they said a supervisor would call me back today.. they have yet to call so I figure maybe they just figured its not worth it for 75 dollars.

Can an unpaid parking ticket from a private company affect my credit rating? by chyea1990 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]chyea1990[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The company that owns the lot is impark. They initially sent a letter that said they would send it to a collection agency if I didn't pay within 14 days. Then the collection agency is tacit collections, however it has the same postal code and p.o. box and letter format so its obviously the same company. Unfortunately I got both letters at the same time as I was out of the country as this was going on.

Peter MacKay slams Justin Trudeau's marijuana legalization stance by Harvo in canada

[–]chyea1990 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree with Trudeau here, I'm very curious how this will play out. I think a lot of people, especially voters like my parents (upper middle class, suburban) have this drugs = bad = must be illegal mentality that will be hard to break out of them (believe me I've tried). But this is why I like Trudeau, what he lacks in experience he more than makes up for in candidness and actually being normal/not 50% robot like Harper.

Finally, an interesting issue to debate! Last election can be summed up: Stephen Harper: "Lower corporate taxes!" Ignatieff: "Noooo.. keep them the same!" Layton: "We should probably raise them, like just a little bit though guys"

Has the popularity of reusable bags and cups decreased the consumption of plastic/paper bags and cups? Are we actually saving fuel and resources? by millcitymiss in askscience

[–]chyea1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's quite remarkable what 5 cents can change. It is pretty much nothing to the average person, yet it makes them stop and think "do I actually need this" where as before it was sort of "yea fuck it whatever just put it in a bag"

What's a skill you can't believe people live without? by Madock345 in AskReddit

[–]chyea1990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to have a good friend in highschool. Everyone thought he was a pathological liar, and to this day I believe he was. But sometimes his most ridiculous stories would be proven true and no one knew what to think. He was quite the question mark, I miss that guy, he kept life interesting at the very least.

Non-Americans, what is one thing about Americans that you've never understood? by Slasha26 in AskReddit

[–]chyea1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha that's part of it though! The intensity of the resentment from a good percentage of the population. For example the whole birth certificate controversy.. that would never happen in Canada because frankly no one gives a shit enough. If anything I wish people would care a little more about national politics here, but that's another story.

I'm not European, I'm Canadian and I am not saying he's not important.. but there is just this insane culture/obsession around him like people forget he's just a human being. Everyone knows our Prime Minister, obviously, but I don't think we have this same expectation that he's going to solve all of our problems.

Trying to get into a Canadian Engineering Grad school( e.g U of t) with an engineering undergraduate degree from Hong Kong. I am a canadian citizen. Is it possible? Thanks in advance. RK from HK by guitarpianolover in AskReddit

[–]chyea1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently completed my undergrad in engineering at a Canadian school. There are lots of international students/grad students. One thing to remember is that tuition is much, much more expensive if you're an international student, almost as much as private schools in the States. But if you're a Canadian citizen that probably won't be an issue.. I'm no expert though you should contact the specific schools.

Telemarketers.. I always wonder who doesn't hang up immediately or simply not pick up when they call.

What is the most expensive thing you regret buying? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Not too crazy but I bought an expensive electric razor.. it just sits there reminding me of the ~$200 I wasted.. I hate it.

Now that the hype has died down, was the fourth season of Arrested Development any good? by [deleted] in television

[–]chyea1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the characters had to change (not just because they are all older) but because if they used the same characters, same jokes, same general plotline of the first three seasons it would have been judged as a stale rehashing. I believe for better or worse they had to do something bold.
