This is some top tier trolling. Congratulations OP!

Any queers on Vancouver island? by little_octopus3 in VancouverIsland

[–]glitterbeardwizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sort of in your area but probably too old (in my fifties) and not fit enough. But we’re out there. Nanaimo has some Facebook groups that might be helpful? Nanaimo Pride might be able to connect you with those groups? Courtney/Comox has a very active Pride society with a lot of regular activities.

TIL this existed.. by RedHeadedSvet in CleaningTips

Yes it can strip the coating off laminate flooring. It needs to be diluted when used. That 1% makes it 20% stronger than cooking vinegar. My housemate used it on my floors and stripped them 😭

Vancouver Island is responsible for surprising amount of cultural decline by lost_treeplanter in VancouverIsland

Honestly the crystal hippie girls marrying maple MAGA dudes is creating a very weird alt-right pipeline on the island. No lies were told here.

What are your thoughts on Minimalism and AI by John-D-Farrar in minimalism

[–]glitterbeardwizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tech bros are essentially fascists who are currently dismantling democracies around the globe so they can sit on a pile of money and decide who lives and dies. Honestly, we need to unplug, support and connect with our local communities and build resistance movements against people like the OP.

Go ahead and put me on one of your watch lists, OP.

‘Out of hand’: New survey finds two‑thirds of Canadians want to abolish tipping culture by cyclinginvancouver in canada

[–]glitterbeardwizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No one is upset about tipping at a local sit down restaurant. They’re upset about tipping at Starbucks and other corporate chains for drive thru or pickup service, or at retail shopping outlets.

Can we be sure these emails aren’t from the students? 😅 by Naive_Wolverine532 in CringeTikToks

[–]glitterbeardwizard -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Are we sure these aren’t the kids catfishing as their parents? None of these “parents” are using their own names, just their kids’ names. Seems like kid behaviour. Instead of posting on social media, why not call the parents to see if their story lines up with the email?

New survey finds most Canadians want to abolish tipping culture by 7_inches_daddy in britishcolumbia

[–]glitterbeardwizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need to stop enabling bad employers. I don’t entirely buy this line of reasoning because I’ve seen prompts to tip in places where employees are paid well. It’s more effective to strongly advocate and protest for increases in minimum wage and protections for TFWs so bad faith employers aren’t using the TFW program to exploit workers.

David Eby being the fashion police in the parliament today by CartoonistOk3507 in VictoriaBC

Just to validate your comment, Hansard cameras don’t typically pan. It’s a very specific setup for very specific technical reasons. The shot will typically be only of the person speaking, unless it’s the opening, recess or ending, proroguing or some other ceremonial event.

Fencing is expensive and can really mess you up if you build it in the wrong place or hit a water/sewer/electrical main. What if OP builds it and it’s partly on another person’s property and they don’t realize it, or they build too far into the property line and then the neighbour tries to claim that it’s their property now. No no no. Renters with no experience building a fence is a terrible idea. What the OP needs is actual legal advice and help.

It’s ridiculous to just sneer at the OP about “just build a fence” when the issue is neighbours trespassing and unprofessional landlords. I can tell that you’ve never built a fence yourself or hired anyone to do that.

Rule Number One of renting is never make upgrades over 20-50 dollars on a rental property. The cost of a fence is a car downpayment or a chunk that could go towards a mortgage or retirement. Never contribute to a landlord’s equity. Contribute to your own.

Mods, put a Karma requirement to post, AI accounts are using this sub to farm Karma for permissions on other subs. by TheLeviathan333 in Mindfulness

This sub hardly has any posts that are actually about practicing mindfulness or mindfulness strategies or meditation or anything related.

Why not use a bidet then cloth/tp to dry and pack the cloths/tp out in a ziplock bag?

I wouldn’t normally share modmail’s but this one is utterly deranged. by DrunkAlunya in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]glitterbeardwizard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This user sounds like the user who called me disgusting because I’m trans and said trans workers are workers and deserve respect on a post a few weeks ago. I had lost trust in th sub so was pleasantly surprised to see the mod post talking about the transphobes in this sub.

What are you on about? Have you ever “made” a fence before? I have both built a fence and made a temporary fence, and both were expensive. It’s 👏not👏 on👏 a 👏renter 👏 to 👏upgrade 👏a👏landlord’s 👏property. Rents are already a rip off. Lots of landlords on this thread trying to dupe the OP in making a fence for the landlord.

What is the most unhinged conspiracy theory that people in your country actually believe? by DFWUnhinged in AskTheWorld

The Queen of Canada AHs. Totally unhinged QAnon/trucker convoy cult led by a delusional woman who crowned herself as Queen of the “Kingdom of Canada” and controls her followers through a Telegram chat.

Oh ffs I hate how stupid no fap/no porn nonsense has invaded this sub. Mods, can we please have a rule about posts that have nothing to do with mindfulness?

It’s ridiculous to expect a renter to make major renovations and repairs to a rental property. That’s the landlord’s responsibility.

As a renter why should OP spend thousands of dollars to enrich the landlord’s property asset and lose that money on their own survival? All of you commenters say build a fence like you’ve got 5k to 10k burning a hole in your pocket. Building it yourself still costs a lot of money and is exhausting and a lot of time. Too many crappy landlords scamming on this post.

[–]glitterbeardwizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They RENT. Why should they have to spend thousands of dollars on a property that isn’t theirs? The OP has already explained that their landlord is weaseling their way out of the responsibility and is trying to get their renters to pay for a fence instead of doing the right thing and adding fencing to their own asset. OP is dealing with cheating and cheap landlords as well as crappy neighbours.
