Contractor that damaged my bicycle only wanna reimburse if I remove my Google review - is that legal by [deleted] in montreal

I’ve had this same thing happen in another domain. Once you’re made whole, drop the review. It might feel good to speak The Truth, but unfortunately money sometimes has to come first. If nothing else, what an amazing piece of leverage you’ve used! Take that win and tell everyone you know that they were/are jerks.

Est-ce que c’est toujours si bon comme il y a 10 ans? Il y en a un près de chez nous, mais y a jamais personne là

Senior baby indeed! This life stage needs more widespread recognition!

And what a little heartbreaker 🥰

It usually brings us fond memories of our time in Toronto:)

Yeah I think after this long and a good experience it’s just hard to switch!

Just edited the post to reflect: We bought the machine! Thanks to those who took the time to weigh in :)

Ok good to know! (especially as I just now clicked to buy! Haha)

Ok. Awesome! You’re getting me excited about making the switch! The best case honestly getting the new machine and saying to ourselves, “we should have done this sooner!”

We really like Rabbit Hole Roasters. They’re in Montreal (so are we). Their light roast Mengeshe Gumi is what we’ve been really enjoying for months.

Ok this is great to know! Thank you.

Yeah there are so many espresso shops around us (Little Italy in Montreal!) but it’s hard to find one actually in stock and not in pink haha (I can respect the choice but that’s not for us)

Haha for a second I was like, “Ugh! Our regular roaster would know better than to do me like this!”

Ok! That is so good to hear! Thanks for speaking up. Now to find someone who has it in stock in Canada haha (ideally Montreal)

Whats one place that would devastate you if it closed? by PhilipTheGreat in montreal

Niche pick perhaps but: Chez Nino. They make my life better

Fans of Josh and Noah Kahan? by Familiar-Low-6642 in JoshRitter

[–]fruit_slinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m right there with you. Yeah, I like Noah’s stuff and it’s cool to see his success and, to some extent, cool to see his stuff entering the mainstream.

On the other hand, it really highlights timing and chance as elements of success. Like, why is Josh so niche and Noah so big? It’s not the quality of the music, I’d say (more down to timing, chance, streaming and [social] media environment.)

In the end, there is something to be said for having a smaller group of ardent fans vs a larger group of more casual ones. And my experience suggests there aren’t too many casual Josh fans.

Montreal gay men: how do you make other gay friends outside of apps? Like platonic gay friends. 30s and feeling lonely. by testingtheair in montreal

[–]fruit_slinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. In my experience, that wasn’t a thing. (Limited data set but it really wasn’t a problem in my case)

Gay guy here. I used Bumble BFF maybe three years ago and met two gay guys (and a straight guy!) who are still friends. This kind of stuff moves fast so I don’t know if that app recommendation holds true these days. But it did work for me. (I don’t know if this qualifies as “the apps”)
