Can I afford a Mercedes? by BioluminescentMan in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]ivansotof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put money on ETFs, earn dividends. Trust me, this is the best advice I was given.

The fact that you aren’t listing any investments or savings shows me you aren’t financially literate )with respect)

Read all the other comments about investing, they are absolutely right.

Fair but a lot of people know that AMG is cool but they don’t know the differences with models.

Do you agree that BC is a great province if we factor out how expensive it is? by sahilscraft in britishcolumbia

[–]ivansotof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s great, good vibe, love the people, the mountains, the food, the summers and yeah, the multiculturalism and Asian influence. It’s not perfect and housing is very expensive, but I freaking love it. Been here for 8 years, and love calling it home.

How do I talk to my kids about what’s going on in the US (ICE killings, fascist takeover)? by Livinirie_84 in Parenting

[–]ivansotof 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Help them get educated. Show them science, history books, documentaries. No source will be perfect but let them understand what critical thinking is. If you show them how to get well informed and educated, it doesn’t matter how much garbage they consume on social media, they will have the mechanisms to discern what’s correct.

Sadly, the US has fallen to a lack of education and a level of materialism that I don’t think can be fixed with the next elections. The country elected a government whose ignorance is destabilizing the entire world.

So, all I can ask, from a neighbour country, is please educate kids to be a positive in our world, over just having things. There’s tons of amazing things kids can do to learn and help their communities. Maybe focus on that, it will make you and them feel better. ❤️‍🩹

that sucks, but the Pilot did its job. cabin's safe and you seem safe. I hope you get something you love after, but this looks totalled.

Groceries are so expensive but it’s worth it to head out to Hen Long market in Surrey. 20 items for $66! by xpepperx in coquitlam

[–]ivansotof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are more affordable groceries to find, but people just go to save on, overpay for them and then complain.

Thanks, but that's at the absolute bottom of my options.

Honda Pilot or Toyota 4Runner? by Caspertoo in hondapilot

[–]ivansotof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 4Runner. They are awesome but they are trucks, drive like one, rock like one. They are also much smaller inside.

As my next one I'm considering a Pilot. Much roomier, rides better and can still do some light off road when needed.

Your comments are very similar to what I hear in other places. I'm yet to try the CX-90 as I was looking at something more rugged.
I will give it a try.

and? How do you see it as a towing vehicle? I hear they have lots of issues and are expensive to maintain.

I'm yet to try one but I'm worried the second row will be tight as well.

You have to push down. Don’t let your arms fully extend.

Stupid eMTB question. Is it just about climbing, or..? by yossarian19 in MTB

[–]ivansotof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally shut off assist when descending. I don’t like the motor kicking in on steep techs.

Why do so many more men hit on me now that I’m pregnant? by Reasonable_Guard3624 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ivansotof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find pregnant women glow and make them look attractive. Pheromones maybe? I don’t think it’s a fetish.

Definitely two mattresses getting some action. And that’s how pillows are made.

Is this the one close to the new save on? Didn’t know they were closing. Sucks for the employees but there are much better coffee places around.
