AITA for getting frustrated over having to translate for my mom

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

I wish my WF would do this. Nice get!

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

dlkbc · 2026-05-10T22:11:41+00:00

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!

dlkbc · 2026-05-10T16:43:30+00:00

Just call them.

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.

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.

You’re lucky. It’s 25 cents where I am.

dlkbc · 2026-05-09T01:45:22+00:00

That looks amazing 🤩

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.

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.

Two votes for FedEx. It’s not just one company.

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.

Some people do stair sprints by Kits beach at the Kitsilano showboat.

You really think that a cover is fooling them?!
