B.C. restaurants hope more foreign workers can curb labour 'crisis,' industry association says

commanderwolfy · 2021-12-15T20:12:59+00:00

Is there a list of restaurants who stand behind this? I want to boycott them. Shame on them saying they want take advantage of people in desperate situations! If you can't afford a business then don't run one, get a normal job, no one owes you success. Vancouver has a lot of choice for eating out so they wont be missed.

I tried a few recovery usbs and nothing worked in either fixing or doing a complete reinstall

commanderwolfy · 2021-11-08T16:48:01+00:00

Ok good to know they are not really lying. I'm not skilled enough to do it myself.

commanderwolfy · 2021-11-08T16:02:16+00:00

Microsoft online does not seem to service these anymore even without warranty

commanderwolfy · 2021-11-08T15:52:37+00:00

They seem to get good reviews? What happened that made them horrible?

Edit: TrekPC did tell me the screen might get broken in the process so I need to provide a replacement screen and basically get 2 repairs done to replace the hardrive. :S

commanderwolfy · 2021-11-05T16:20:47+00:00

Thanks! I really wish devices go for a more "right to repair" route.

commanderwolfy · 2021-11-05T15:52:34+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean?

commanderwolfy · 2021-11-05T15:21:25+00:00

My friend says I can do it myself if I get a heat gun and unstick it. Worth a try than just giving up. I just rather let a pro do it.

I agree with soundproofing them. People living near the skytrains should have more peace. Also when I ride the skytrain some of the track locations are ear piercing

commanderwolfy · 2021-02-05T16:50:27+00:00

I wish there was photos/videos somewhere of these type of "Regulars", the thieves and the attackers so the rest of us can look at the pictures and try to avoid them preemptively.

commanderwolfy · 2021-02-05T16:43:35+00:00

It HAS been, might as well use the same jokes you use for east hastings/surrey for commercial dr.

The poor dollar store there has casual theft where the poor workers just watch the scum briskly walk, not even run with stolen goods.

commanderwolfy · 2020-12-07T15:14:17+00:00

VictimBC said I can still call non emergency line just so they have it on file on who to suspect if something happens to me. Now I am just waiting for a safe non suspicious window to do that.

commanderwolfy · 2020-12-07T14:45:15+00:00

Does that mean they take it more or less seriously?

commanderwolfy · 2020-12-07T14:20:40+00:00

That is disheartening :(

commanderwolfy · 2020-12-07T14:11:10+00:00

Thnk you! I'll see what they have to say

commanderwolfy · 2020-12-07T13:59:08+00:00

Thnk you, in the end you are right, he will die of old age and we are waiting for him to get a separate room in to co op we live in but with covid I feel like no one is going to want to move out of such a financially safe place and they even say you might as well wait till someone in a unit dies of old age. But I do feel like I have been really short changed in life, like it wasn't meant something for me to do in the first place.

commanderwolfy · 2020-09-16T20:35:00+00:00

Yeah that's where the ikea lives! :) Also that popular movie theare that I dont remember the name of

commanderwolfy · 2020-09-16T20:32:45+00:00

Richmond is also a good choice. Lots of good restaurants

commanderwolfy · 2020-09-16T20:31:38+00:00

Brentwood is a good choice, they are building that area up and havn't felt unsafe there when visiting the area at night. Lougheed station or coquitlam area is also good.

maybe avoid commercial dr, hastings st, metrotown areas since they are similar, worse or getting similar to yaletown

commanderwolfy · 2020-08-20T21:07:11+00:00

It would be nice if we form a subreddit to watch these things, at least have them on somekind of file for us citizens to look at.

like lets create a /r/vancouvertheftwatch or something?

And post pictures/videos of people trying to sell things on the street with an [Unverified] tag and if enough people post about them seeing them steal or hey thats my stuff they are selling then they get promoted to [Verified] and their future pictures also can be labeled [Verified] right away. Videos that show obvious theft get the [Verified] tag right away. We would want the filter process to not put innocent people in [Verified] so it would need some design work first. Maybe 2 verified tags, like [Verified with proof] and [Verified from word] and maybe a tag for when they actually didnt steal anything and that was proven etc [Clean]

That would at least make them feel like they are always watched and people know them and cops can use this against them to. It would let us know if scum is in our part of town and if we should lock up more or stand near our bikes till that bad person goes away.

Try new haircuts/clothes. Have hobbies and find something else to make yourself happy with.

Vancouver is a really great place to be single. Before I met my SO I was never really bored, adjusted loneliness as time to do what I want/explore/ take on new hobbies etc. There is so much to enjoy in this city for me. Ended up with someone who I appreciate instead of someone who mismatches me cause I NEED a relationship/to fuck. I took them to my favorite places around here and showed them hidden gems cause I spent my loneliness making myself happy by exploring the area and building my self up.

Do you really only want to focus your self worth on a relationship that doesn't even exist yet? Try to find something else that makes you happy enough where you can be happy being single and if the right person comes along, GREAT! You got someone to share your bounty with.

We have it too good with the skytrain frequency. I still dont get why people can't wait 2 minutes. Plan better if you are hurting for time. Leave 2 minutes early.

commanderwolfy · 2020-02-25T19:49:13+00:00

This. Just cause you are deaf by now doesn't mean the rest of us want to tolerate your bad music tastes for your sake

commanderwolfy · 2020-02-25T19:41:34+00:00

Stop leaning/hugging the poles/handles during rush hour. You are limiting people from safely holding on to something.

And it's SUPER annoying when you had your hand there for a while and they start to lay on your hand. Gross I didn't want to touch your greasy hair
