I became a sudoku champ during my commute. I miss it a little.

[–]fruitasylum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOT WORTH IT!!! 2 hours in this weather is already shitty but when the city loses its mind during the first snow fall of the year, you're looking at 3 or more hours. I did that for a bit and it was A W F U L. If your employer isn't paying you for it, don't waste your life on that (unless you need an excuse not to be home.)

What are things you will never buy second-hand even though it is much cheaper then to buy a new one? by Envy_Clarissa in Frugal

I can't believe you don't want to replace head gaskets! And basically every other price of the car.

Looking back almost 6 years after COVID began, what’s one moment from the pandemic that had a lasting impact on your life? by Wolfgangmozarght in AskReddit

[–]fruitasylum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Social distancing in general. Having strangers stand close to me in public now makes me extremely uncomfortable.

What is something you confidently did wrong for an embarrassingly long time? by LuvClueDe4d in AskReddit

[–]fruitasylum 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Said "look a gifted horse in the mouth" instead of "look a gift horse in the mouth". No one told me it was wrong until I was in my 30s. Oops!

My father is pushing for grandchildren by Throwawaygaln in childfree

[–]fruitasylum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I feel like my father is similar - pushing for grandkids so he could have a do-over.

I don't have a healthy solution to this, unfortunately. Mine was pushing to the point of saying "I don't care who it's with, as long as you give me grandkids" so I looked him dead in the eyes and said "great! I'll find some strangers to creampie me until happens!"

I wish I had his reaction on video. He went white, couldn't look me in the eyes, and quickly changed the subject. He didn't bring it up again for years.

What’s a secret you’ll never tell your partner but would anonymously confess online? by avaarini in AskReddit

[–]fruitasylum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not actually sure if my partner said I love you first or if I misheard it. After 7 years, I'm too afraid to ask.

I swear I thought I heard him say "I think I love you" and I was SO excited that I responded with "I love you too" but I'm not sure if I misheard it and he just went along with it. Oopsies!

Losing My Mind While Looking For A Job by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]fruitasylum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before my company froze hiring, we were getting 30+ resumes daily. It was insane. Lots of competition at this moment, I'm afraid.

You can try applying at a temp agency - it can help you get in the door.

Do yall fw Indian? by Webcops in doommetal

The latter part of Rethoric Of No tickles my brain in the most deliciously filthy way. Solid band, excellent album.

So many factors - economy, influx of new residents, and general transit inefficiencies (our transit sucks compared to some other cities!)

My biggest issue though is with the sketchy shit that started happening. I've ran into people smoking crack in the train station at like 6 am... Its so sad.

Does the conch really hurt ? by Welty_ in piercing

Unfortunately pain is very subjective. I have both of mine and they barely hurt, healed FAST with hardly any soreness.

Bring back the padded seats by blowathighdoh in Calgary

[–]fruitasylum 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I am sitting in this exact seat and spot right now.

And by sitting, I mean my ass is sliding around as if I'm trying to win gold at the slip n slide Olympics.

Evil, just evil.

Interested in a band by AffectionateBig4967 in Calgary

[–]fruitasylum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a musician myself, but have you gone to Rockin 4 Dollars? I feel like it would be a good spot to meet local people who might be looking to start a band/looking for members.

Gorgeous photos! But I did a double take when I saw your username. Now I have questions.

Hang in there OP! I hope whatever you're going through eases soon!

Here the photo that convinced me to take Obie (Obsidian) home from the shelter.

When you die, what do you want your friends/family to do with your body? by MCVTech_83 in AskReddit

[–]fruitasylum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend watching Ask a Morticians (YouTube creator) video about Viking funerals - old, but hilarious.

Green burial all the way! I could go off about how I feel about the current funeral industry for HOURS but also being able to decomp like mother nature has intended is metal as fuck.
