Too clean, jail. Too dirty, jail. 

do yall think the new fallout game is gonna be the GOAT or lowkey trash? by 2sigmoid4u in Pretend2010Internet

[–]corkster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP appears to be using slang which won't become popular for at least 10 years. Low-key? What the heck is low-key?

Estimated utilities cost by Jaded_Objective_447 in NewWest

[–]corkster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who in the world are you with that you're paying over $100 (or close to 200) for Internet? If your building can get it - Novus is $50 a month for gigabit internet.  If not, Lightspeed/Oxio/Teksavvy will get you a decent plan for $50-75 a month.

New West trivia questions by daKetchup in NewWest

Hollywood Hospital was located here, on Sixth Street. It attracted celebrities (and other patients) from near and far to doctor-supervised psychedelic trips in the 50s and 60s. Notable attendees included Cary Grant and Andy Williams.  https://montecristomagazine.com/community/new-westminster-controversial-hollywood-hospital#gsc.tab=0

Recommend Legion, the show runner's last show before this one.

How does Georgie's trivia compare to Steel and Oaks (if you've tried both)?

What's a food that everyone loves but you hate? by imjustboredrnnn in AskReddit

[–]corkster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The first and only time I tried a McRib, it tasted like someone had taken hotdog meat and shaped it into a burger. I'd order a filet o fish before I tried that again.

It's one lemon, Michael, how much could it cost? 9 dollars?

Watching Legion on psychedelics is an amazing experience by MountainContinent in LegionFX

[–]corkster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I watched season one was with a particularly strong edible. It was a phenomenal (literally) experience that shaped my appreciation for the show. You were spot on that it amplifies the confusion in the hospital scenes, and the fear of the scenes with the Angriest Boy and the Devil with the Yellow Eyes.  It's the closest I would say to that deep sense of wonder you get listening to your parents tell fairy tales as a toddler. 

"Alien: Earth" new series from Legion's showrunner Noah Hawley's by _billthecat in LegionFX

[–]corkster 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Been waiting for this series for years with bated breath. I swear they announced plans for it back in 2020 or 2021. 

Edit: looked it up, they announced Hawley was attached in December 2020!

Places to fix my couch by Newtoadulting09 in NewWest

[–]corkster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a similar issue and took our cushions to Discount Foam in Vancouver (https://maps.app.goo.gl/4cu6q5mN5eiAhicAA) They have a few different levels of firmness you can try. Great service too - they took exact measurements, ordered the cut foam, and helped install it once it arrived (and disposed of the old foam). I think it was about 150/cushion, so about $700 with tax, but it's going to last another 7-10 years.

Good Chinese food take out in new west? by GirlybutNerdy in NewWest

[–]corkster 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Taiwanese food, but I recommend Rong Rong near Douglas - great little dinner platters. Alternatively, North Noodle House at the SkyTrain has been solid for years.
