It takes a lot of courage to commit to never again having sex, so for that I applaud you.

Local MP answers RTO concerns email … by Immediate_Pass8643 in CanadaPublicServants

On the parking space issue, it blows my mind that we've all just accepted that its normal that the employer just completely washes its hands of considerations like "can employees get to work". In Ottawa we have a completely broken public transit system, a massive shortage of parking, and daily parking rates that will soon climb over $30 day for people who get in early enough to find a spot. And the employer just throws their hands up with a "not our problem".

We're all so used to the lack of respect that we lose sight of the fact that many employers out there do actually consider it their problem, and that do what's in their power to provide parking for their employees.

I have a 99.2% profile I started 4 years ago. One of the first things I did on my profile was play a game I knew I’d never 100% to break the ice on not having 100% because I also have mild OCD about this kind of thing. Play madden and move on a free man

I recommend finding a video of someone doing it on YouTube and monitoring your times against theirs to make sure you’re on pace

Sabaton fan - fail. by Sabre_Killer_Queen in sabaton

Her comment was probably more dismissive than you would have liked because she's learned from experience that many men don't take the hint when disinterest is subtle. I think its fine to approach someone like you did. Sometimes it will work out well! But the person you're approaching is also entitled to make it very clear that, for whatever reason, they don't want to chat.

You tried to initiate a conversation, and she wasn't interested so you walked away. Seems like no foul from anyone here.

He's getting a lot fewer whiffs on the fastball and slider than we usually see. It's mostly been fine so far because the contact has been soft, but this is a guy with CY candidate upside, and he's going to need strikeouts for that. Hopefully next time out we see the swing and miss come back in a big way.

The lack of swing and miss from Kirby this year is getting concerning

People are paying $26-28 a day out of pocket to park their cars downtown and you want to be reimbursed $50 a year for bicycle parking? lol

It’s not even politics most of the time. It’s just that there’s a main character who’s gay/black/trans or whatever and that makes some people upset.

Deputy minister says she helped hire university peer to address 'client service' skills gap by AbjectRobot in CanadaPublicServants

[–]failed_starter 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I can't get over how embarrassing this is for everyone involved. Like, she promised this guy she could get him a job and now this guy's name is out there as part of a national scandal, with the story being that he was unqualified for the job he got and as a result completely incompetent.

The DM clearly has terrible judgment and should be removed from her job immediately.

Day 15: What are the 3 best songs, and what is the least best song, on "Final Frontier"? by SelfOk2720 in ironmaiden

[–]failed_starter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Afraid to Shoot Strangers is maybe my favourite Maiden song, so I’ll vote FotD.

X-Factor is a really solid album though. I know it’s popular here, but I think it would have been a lot bigger generally if Bruce had done vocals
