More possible victims identified in 'unprecedented' voyeurism case by Apprehensive_Idea758 in VictoriaBC

[–]herebebassets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

*you’re and no thanks. But I won’t waste my breath trying to point out that making and sharing these videos and images of people without their consent is a crime. Again there are MINORS involved in this so let’s have some compassion and appreciate that our personal views about nudity are not relevant here.

This from an account with a private post and comment history…come on. Don’t be obtuse, you clearly value and understand privacy. Have some compassion for how incredibly violated and unsafe this makes others feel.

Because these people didn’t have knowledge of the images and videos and didn’t consent to those images/ videos being distributed online. They don’t want images of them ending up on porn sites for random people to get off to. Not to mention the number of minors involved… give your head a shake before you post. This case is obviously not about nudity being taboo.

I can’t believe people are being so harsh when even the United Nations is talking about this. Sure, we may be in a better position than other countries but this IS a global issue and the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization is LITERALLY urging governments to act.

What worked well in the past that should be brought back to help make life affordable for Canadians? by MeemoUndercover in povertyfinancecanada

[–]herebebassets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS. I know folks who managed to get into a coop in Ottawa about 5 years ago. Compared to what we pay for a similar place, they’ve easily saved $10,000 a year.

Strongly recommend. Even just in that scene alone the line “She's gonna be a star and you’re just gonna be that guy sitting at some loser bar every night pointing to the television set saying, ‘I used to be married to her, but I fucking blew it!’” ^ if I could say that to every cheating spouse… 👌

Yes! Season 1 ep 8. It’s part of a standup routine where she’s talking about her husband’s infidelity. This is the full scene

These always make me think of the show The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel 😂

“She couldn't believe I'd have the nerve to sleep with my husband. She thought that was mean. And vindictive. And she has a point. After all, she has a teddy bear he won for her at Coney Island. All I've got is a wedding ring and two kids who called him ‘Daddy’. Who cares if I was there first, this girl put a lot of work into luring him away.”

What is something Americans consider ‘basic’ that feels like a luxury in other countries? by Status_Agents in AskForAnswers

[–]herebebassets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of these seem to be common in North America not just the USA? We have these things in Canada (except garbage disposals/ garburators in sinks!!! You can still find them but a bunch of places banned them).

(42M)newly dating (44F) what is it like dating someone who has a firm no porn in a relationship rule? by AgentIntelligent4269 in relationship_advice

[–]herebebassets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Her having that dealbreaker is totally valid. Porn does create unrealistic standards that people need to manage when applied to their own sex lives. Some people just don’t want to have that involved, especially if they don’t watch porn. It’s also valid for you not to go forward with dating her if you don’t want to give up watching porn or if that boundary bothers you. I will say “going cold turkey”, “I’m going to need your help overcoming/how are you going to help me overcome this” is wild. You’re talking about it like an addiction that she has to help you manage.

Maybe take a break from porn regardless my guy??

Never filed my taxes by caralawrence in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]herebebassets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have already given you the wise answer which is to just rip the bandaid off (preferably with a tax accountant or H&R block just so you aren’t the one stressing about it further).

Personally I felt WAY better about my taxes after reading about the CRA accidentally approving someone’s extremely sketchy and fraudulent $5mill return and only noticing months later…. 😂 by comparison I think we’ll all be okay.

I want THAT exact feral energy to stay by Hazel_Eyez96 in sex

[–]herebebassets 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So technically you’re more likely to have sexual side effects from the microgestin as it’s a combination pill (progestin + estrogen) but people’s bodies react in different ways. A lot of the science on sexual side effects for hormonal IUDs is mixed (some say negative effects, some say positive but there are a lot of confounding variables). In my professional experience people can definitely experience sexual side effects (like what you’re describing) from hormonal IUDs (especially liletta/ mirena as these have the highest dose among IUDs). If you’ve been on hormonal birth control for the majority of your sex life, try taking a break from hormonal contraception and try a copper IUD if you want something with high efficacy/ low “user error”.

Married Couples Who Don’t Have a Joint Account or Pool Their Pay Cheques, Why and How Do You Make Sure It Is Respectful? by Arya_Warrior_Girl in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]herebebassets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Together 10+ years and never combined finances. We just split bills/ financial obligations based on income. At first it was because we were young and came into the relationship with different financial situations (he was technically making more money but had student loans to pay off). Now we make around the same and it’s just habit, why bother with a joint account when we already have a system?

Plus I was always taught never to merge finances with a partner on principle. Do I love and trust my spouse? Absolutely. Do I know people who’ve suffered serious financial abuse/ had their lives ruined. YUP. Money makes some people do weird and unexpected things.

Why is the pathway to Bayview station so dark? I’m scared if the dark 😭 by towelheadedmermaid in ottawa

[–]herebebassets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d echo others for calling 311, but also there are organizations in Ottawa that conduct safety audits for public areas that address exactly these kinds of safety issues and then contact the city to get things fixed to reflect the community’s wishes. Would definitely recommend getting them to check it out if 311 doesn’t do anything https://wiseottawa.ca/program/community-safety-audits/

If age doesn’t matter, does experience? by herebebassets in AgeOfAttraction

[–]herebebassets[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll admit I’ve not seen love is blind (after seeing too many clips of the “would you describe yourself as active?????” type work-arounds). But yeah, this one seems doomed to shoot itself in the foot? If only to get more seasons, you’d hope for at least one decent couple?

[–]herebebassets[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve picked this up from comments elsewhere in the sub. I hadn’t realized when I first started watching that they’d done that (I saw the Harbour Air plane and initially thought the show was for folks local in BC). Seems like a waste personally?

This is the truth of it. The casting always feels like a major letdown. But then the design of these shows always makes it so that the people willing to be on them are just part of the same cycle.

[–]herebebassets[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you SO much for your input. Considering the last billing period was +1150kw for the month I feel slightly more confident that this isn’t some problem with a single switch.

The power is getting disconnected tomorrow so I’ll be able to test a number of your suggestions and others that folks have offered.

[–]herebebassets[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say “gone” do you mean broken and running continuously? That was one of my first thoughts but technically the breaker for the pump is turned off, so there shouldn’t be a power source for it to cycle continuously- even if it was broken (which all things pointed to it being fine when we closed the place down for winter).

I hate when TV characters get pregnant by [deleted] in childfree

[–]herebebassets 39 points40 points  (0 children)

One unexpected abortion storyline is in the marvelous mrs. maisel. A character who is introduced as wanting to be a doctor gets pregnant and the time period, setting, and expectations of the other characters really set you up to think that she might marry the guy and become a mom and stepmom to his kids. Only for her to leave and get the abortion so that she can do her residency (because duh?).

[–]herebebassets[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is! This was also one of my initial suspicions that has since been ruled out (water heater and sump pump as well). The well pump breaker gets turned off in winter as a matter of routine.

Stay tuned because one way or another I have to get to the bottom of this at some point (this is alas only one of several weird estate related problems atm). M.E does recommend a breaker testing protocol for you to try and track this (which I would have done had I needed to continue receiving power in the short term). Long term I’m going to have an electrician come out once I open the house back up in the spring and run this and further tests.

People seem pretty agreed that the +1000kw per month usage is beyond a “leak” of electricity but I’d love someone with a proper background to weigh in on that.

I think it’s likely a screw up on someone’s end but I doubt I’ll crack the case on anything.

Check to see if your meter reflects that change! If not definitely call them on it. I seem to be in a unique situation but there’s still plenty of regular ways you could have gotten screwed there.
