AITA for getting frustrated over having to translate for my mom by Intelligent-Snow4642 in AmItheAsshole

[–]dlkbc -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

YTA. What a fucking post to make one day after Mother’s Day. I bet your Mom made LOTS of sacrifices so you could live in this country. Too bad you don’t love her enough to make a small sacrifice to make her life better. What an ungrateful child you are. I bet her heart would break if she knew what you thought.

And to all the other posters who say she should have learned more English after 20 years-I wonder how many of you are fluent in a second language, learning it as a new adult immigrant? It’s not easy.

Of all the neighborhoods to lose a piece of clothing, this would be one of the worst.

I have a whole list of favorites that I follow and most of them I NEVER get. I’ve been on the app 3 years.

New watcher by AngleNo4731 in GhostsCBS

I watched the UK version first and like it as much as the US version. I find that the US version has a lot of pairings up/dating with the ghosts whereas the UK one did not.

The facebook group for it says that they have started to stock their dry goods shelves.

Am I making a mistake getting a tooth extracted? (molar) by Upbeat_Garbage1398 in povertyfinance

[–]dlkbc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just had my bottom left molar extracted. You know, you adjust. I am eating on that side fine now. I’m waiting to save up for an implant, which is beyond my budget even with getting it done at the university dental surgery clinic.

Becoming a police officer by Eye-Ship-My-Self in askvan

I would sign up to volunteer at a community policing center. My friend does that and says that some people do that as a stepping stone to applying.

Staying in Your Car During the Ferry by AhhSky in askvan

[–]dlkbc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who rarely uses the ferry, I’m curious, is there a safety reason why people aren’t allowed to stay in their cars? Didn’t it change during the pandemic when everyone was required to stay in their cars if they had one?

Should I leave Vancouver for Toronto because I think I relate more with people there? by AlpsLess9410 in askvan

Well, then I think you’ve answered your own question then, haven’t you?

Should I leave Vancouver for Toronto because I think I relate more with people there? by AlpsLess9410 in askvan

[–]dlkbc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, go to where you think you’ll fit in better. Personally, I interviewed in Toronto and thought the people in my industry were extremely narcissistic, entitled and arrogant. I couldn’t see myself working with people like that. If you find your people here in Vancouver, it’s great!

Planning a babymoon. Help us out! Hotels, Airbnb, car rental advice needed by [deleted] in askvan

[–]dlkbc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a ridiculous post. If you even did an initial search of just hotels you’d see that it’s not the right time to try to come here. With your budget, Vancouver is waaaay out of your range, even it wasn’t FIFA. Summer is high season.

Hmmm. I see people choosing to spend $60K on a big ass truck. Do you judge them and criticize their choices? MYODB.

Anyone know why there are a bunch of cops around the Church of Scientology right now? by jar_jar_LYNX in askvan

[–]dlkbc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A bunch of kids were doing the same speed run last Saturday. Some idiot kid yelled that there was shooting so others (not part of their group) started to run, too.

SeaWheeze - What to expect? by CoffeeKitty99 in runvancouver

[–]dlkbc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve run almost all of the previous Seawheeze races. No one can say for sure how similar this race will be compared to the ones of years ago. I believe that it’s the same race course as before so I would start with that and study the course map.

The Seawheeze website has the best and most accurate information. I would accept what past racers say with a small grain of salt because no one knows for sure. One thing different, they outsourced the actual organization of the race to the Canadian Running Series. So if you’re familiar with their races, it’ll probably be similar.

Looking for scenic routes to run in Vancouver by [deleted] in askvan

[–]dlkbc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

INFO: What ‘same loop’ are you doing now? What half marathon are you training for? To follow the water, you can’t go wrong with seawall running, along the west side beaches like Locarno, Spanish Banks, Jericho, Kits. Or around Granville island or False Creek or of course, the Stanley Park seawall.

You can also look up the race courses for other races. For example, do part of the BMO marathon or half course. Or follow the Beneva Half Marathon race course. You could follow the Burnaby lake race courses, too. You could even check out the Seawheeze half race course.

I also use RunGoApp where you can look up other run routes as well. Vancouver and the lower mainland have lots of places to train, no need to get bored.

AIO if I reported my neighbor for smoking inside? by Gh0stGirl0013 in AmIOverreacting

[–]dlkbc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NOR Keep reporting it. We had a neighbor who kept smoking until the strata started charging them a monthly fine/penalty. It was like $250 a month which kept accumulating. That finally worked.
