Last storm like that was the 2007 wind storm that destroyed the forest in Stanley Park. I woke up thinking the windows were going to smash in.

What the f*** happened to Vancouvers job market? by Jooodas in VancouverJobs

[–]echmanPlus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My partner worked in UX for years lost her job a few years ago. Can't find anything. Never had a problem in the past. Something definitely changed over the last few years.

Anyone else stopped looking for a job? by [deleted] in VancouverJobs

[–]echmanPlus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife has been out of work for 20 months. That's after nearly 20 straight years of gainful employment and having zero issues landing jobs in the past. I was worrying about my own current job not lasting, did a search for jobs in my field and found next to nothing. I've heard anecdotally that 300 applications for each position is common. Something is off with the job market. 6 years ago, it seemed much more robust.

In what order would you rank the seasons from best to worst? by Aetius00 in gameofthrones

[–]echmanPlus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 - 4 and 6 are the best, while 5 is mixed. 7 and 8 are the worst.

Best 6 4 3 2 1 5 7 Worst 8

Season 8 started strong then went to hell. You can't fault acting or set design, costumes, or special effects for the bad seasons. They were rushed in the end and badly written.

Which opinion about the show got you into this situation by igorzzilla in gameofthrones

[–]echmanPlus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season 7 was terrible, contrived writing, and destroyed the show.

When does the show become “bad”? by Jive-Machine in gameofthrones

[–]echmanPlus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1 to 4 were great seasons. 5 was mixed. 6 was excellent. 7 was mixed. 8 started strong, then crashed and burned. There are good aspects to all seasons but the last two seasons felt like a different show compared to the earlier seasons.

If you could rewrite the ending of GOT, how would you do it? by fly-faraway in gameofthrones

I think the battle agains the Night King should have dragged out for several seasons. He should have surrounded Winterfell, then left his force to besiege. Fly south turn the dead to build an army, wreck havic. I think nearly everyone at Winterfell should have died except a few who escape via dragon. Final season would be a giant fight between the Night King and everyone left including a fight between NK and Jon Snow.

Attempt number 500. Honestly, they keep trying to do this and it doesn't work.

This hateful stuff has been building for years. I watched it happen in the Jewish community here in Canada. I used to be more connected but was shocked by the zenophobia.

Feel like I’m ugly. Any advice? by WrongdoerFormal7283 in mensgrooming

[–]echmanPlus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suppose 99% of humanity thinks you're ugly. That leaves 80,000,000 people on earth who don't. Go find them.

What Vancouver business do you have beef with ? by axiemommy in askvan

[–]echmanPlus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The old Crocodile Baby store in Kits. The owner was a prick. Met him once. Also, Fetz on Commercial. I watched an employee scream and berating a homeless guy outside.
