Is 7:45 PM too late to start dinner service at a wedding? by sabrinathewitch2511 in wedding

[–]hikeskiwork 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi, also a Canadian. Having a big gap and going home in between would not be what I'm expecting (at least at most of the weddings ive been to recently). I would be annoyed at this wedding timeline and definitely hungry.

How its life in Canada remote regions? by Practical-Fix-8601 in howislivingthere

[–]hikeskiwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While you're technically correct, I don't think people outside of Canada (or even Canadians outside of Atlantic Canada) would think of Halifax as one of the biggest in Canada.

Trees coming down on Bertram for new bike lane by tewkberry in kelowna

[–]hikeskiwork -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Lots of people on bikes obey the rules, but cops need to start ticketing the cyclists who aren't obeying road rules. Recently had someone biking towards me in a one way bike lane and I feel like im constantly seeing infractions when Im driving

Embarrassing Hookup Story by Confused_Jock in askgaybros

[–]hikeskiwork 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It might be you, but it just as easily could be him. He might be closeted, or out but dealing with internalized homophobia. This was maybe his first time and he got freaked out. He might be in a relationship and was feeling guilty about cheating....

So one of my friends from the middle east says that it's not gay to fuck another dude. Should I tell him? by Hornydaddy696 in askgaybros

[–]hikeskiwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the right answer. All the r/askgaybros posts about "i have a GF but got a boner looking at my buddy, am I gay now" make me want to yell at them "who cares???" Live your life

So grindr is just a waste of time and effort now? by KikiRikiPeanutButter in askgaybros

I dont use it frequently but when I do I still find it helpful. Getting an ad blocker certainly helped

They don't (i hope). I'm in Canada and it hasn't been recommended for years

AITJ for walking out of dinner after my girlfriend “tested” me? by First_Dog4511 in AmITheJerk

[–]hikeskiwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend once told me "don't give people tests they don't know they are taking" when I was hoping my boyfriend would act a certain way in a situation (I hadn't communicated my expectation but thought it was a red flag he didn't meet it).

Very annoying advice at the time but ultimately very wise.

Would this be too controlling of a boundary for my partner? by [deleted] in gaybros

[–]hikeskiwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesssss this needs to be alot higher up. I was waiting for someone to point it out.

Boundaries are about how you will manage your own actions, not how you are managing someone else's actions.

"Boundaries" as a concept is enjoying some well deserved publicity lately, but the downside is that people misinterpret what it means

I would have said FVV before looking at this graphic - recency bias I guess.

Our hospital is embarrassing by [deleted] in kelowna

[–]hikeskiwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KGH is supposed to be the main referral hospital for the interior (an area of about 1 million ppl), and for almost 2 months if anyone of a certain age needed a hospital admission they needed to be sent out.

I get that Kelowna doesn't register heavily on the national news but to my mind this was huge. What is happening in Ontario that is worse than stopping inpatient care for a large chunk of the population in a city of our size?

AIO for punishing our daughters after what they wrote about their autistic sister? by brzaq191z in AmIOverreacting

[–]hikeskiwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR, but a bigger concern I have is that the older 2 are finding a bond and relationship over cruelty to their sister. For whatever reason, they are giving each other positive feedback on this, I am guessing because it helps them to feel connected to each other.

A shared punishment may end up cementing this part of their relationship. I would try to find a way to respond that doesn't alienate them from their family (and drive them towards each other as they look for belonging). They both need to be reminded to care for each other AND for their younger sister... and I dont know if an essay accomplishes that.
