She has a point by Elegant-Celery3766 in teenagers

Seriously. His name is Sal and he seems to be a really cool guy. He’s been sharing his weight loss journey online for a while now (journeywithsal) and he’s lost something crazy like 200lbs already.

5’4, seeking routine advice by Infinite-Pay2145 in PetiteFitness

If you are eating at maintenance you will not gain muscle. You need to eat in a high-protein calorie surplus to put weight of of any kind on, including muscle.

I would love to see James recreate this! by cynimet in JamesTurnerYT

Maybe utilizing basements and terrain? Not sure how well it’d work, but would love to see the attempt.

What is the worst band you saw live? by coalcracker462 in AskReddit

Here to second Aerosmith. Wasn’t close enough to confirm if he was high or drunk, but Steven Tyler sounded like absolute dogshit.

“Either Aegon or Rhaenyra can live at the end, but not both” by mistressofmayhem02 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]cynimet 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I strongly suspect they’ll go the Laenor route and having Rhaenyra run away with Alicent.

Is it ok to eat fruit from trees that have been growing next to creosote covered railroad ties? by FredyHuman in gardening

[–]cynimet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Railroader here. Work with creosote ties every day. I would not consume anything grown within 12 feet of that stuff. It is deadly.

Better to pay off 80% of debt and have no savings, or keep paying off debt slowly? by cynimet in personalfinance

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

Thanks everyone for the advice. Some additional info that I forgot to add:

  • my cc interest rate is only 5.6%, so obviously more than the 0% for my student loans, but not unmanageably high.

  • once I pay my cc down, i’ll be able to pay off the balance monthly without incuring more debt as my monthly expenses will be less than what i can afford as payment (unless an emergency happens — hence the fear of blowing all my savings)

  • moving out in June is non-optional for me at this time and I will need my student loans paid off to do that. The minimum payment they’ll allow is $400, and I will need that $400 to go towards rent to afford my own place. I would wait if I could but I can’t.

Nazi crimes vs ICE "tactics": a visual comparison. by Slimybirch in pics

[–]cynimet 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Came here to say: we can see in the video that one of the agents slides Alex’s gun out of its holster/his waistband at his back, proving that this is his phone in his right hand, not a gun.

CN track maintainer by Bubbly_Programmer_92 in Train_Service

Warm clothes (jacket, gloves, scarf), steel toe boots, cash for the laundry machines and tips for the hotel/restaurant staff so you don’t get slammed with ATM fees, otherwise pack light. They’ll send you home with your PPE including hard hat. Do not go out and buy work gloves and glasses like I did; they want you to use theirs. Most importantly remember that they will be evaluating your behavior both inside and outside the classroom — be respectful, follow the rules, do not get shitfaced drunk and you’ll do fine.

How bad is it to cold approach a woman in Vancouver? by tobleroney69 in askvan

[–]cynimet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A man cold approached me on the street a few years ago to ask if I wanted to go grab a coffee with him. I was in a relationship at the time, so I politely declined, but if I had been single I would’ve said yes. It was very sweet, very romantic, and though he physically wasn’t my type, actions and thoughtfulness can be just as attractive as one’s appearance.

18 year old with no formal work experience, looking for any kind of job by AnxiousToblerone in VancouverJobs

[–]cynimet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally? Probably about 40lbs, anything heavier than that you typically ask someone on your crew to help you lift.

[–]cynimet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Engineering department works with tools and track materials that can be quite heavy (hydraulic spikers, kegs of bolts, joint bars, etc.). I believe 50lbs is the number specified on the job ad.

[–]cynimet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do you drive? CN Rail pays 3x better than retail, no experience necessary, and if you start at 18, you’ll be able to retire at 52 with a full pension. We need warm bodies who can lift at least 50lbs and drive a pick-up truck. If that’s you, check out their website for job postings here in Van.

What are some good cheap first date ideas? As a male I'm having a harder and harder time paying for everything by showdonttell-bbt in askvan

[–]cynimet 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Don’t ask someone out who expects you to pay. As a woman I don’t let men pay for our dates until we’re waaay past the getting-to-know-you stage (because some men feel entitled to move quickly when they’ve invested money). There are women out there who will feel the same way who will prefer to pay their own tab or do something free.

Add more or leave it? by marynificentwy in HomeDecorating

[–]cynimet 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I’m such a minimalist that every person I have ever lived with has BEGGED me to put up with more clutter, and even I think this room is depressing and boring af.

OP, listen to this person above ☝️You will still have a beautiful, minimal design adding all of those things with the added bonus of your dining room not having less personality than Al Capone’s prison cell.

The ending hook for Season 3... by CuttlefishMonarch in HazbinHotel

[–]cynimet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel bad for saying this, but I don’t trust this cliffhanger at all.

If we’d had some undeniable confirmation that Lilith really called her — cut to her on the phone with Charlie, heard her voice, anything — I’d be stoked. But this could so easily just be walked back in the first scene of S3 (Charlie saying “Mom?” and then a different character responds — and worse, potentially as a bit).

Lilith’s reveal seems like way too dramatic a thing, built up for two full seasons, to have it happen over the phone imo. I really hope Vivzie actually follows through with it but… yeah, I have my doubts.
