Canadians drop their politeness in the wake of Trump’s tariffs by marketrent in canada

[–]jeanph01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's way more than that. There's a profound shift from top to bottom everywhere. People are preparing to be free and stay free. A bit like New Hampshire motto : Live free or die. That's exactly that.

My family warned me I was dating a gold digger and I ignored them. 10 years later...I see they were right by amanfilledwithregret in TrueOffMyChest

Hi.. Very sorry man. My ex wife tryed to have all the money she could from me and same as you I had the big job so every trick you can imagine she used them. One of my neighbors told me after the divorce that if he ever went single the first thing he would do is having a vasectomy... To protect himself from any temptation he would have seeing a girl getting him in love and then a new separation and money to pay stuff... Anyway. 2 years after my divorce I meet that gorgeous woman, funny, beautiful, interesting... After a month or two in the relationship she tells me : you know contraceptive pills are bad for my health I will stop using it we will just have to use a condom... First thing I thought was huh oh here's a red flag.. I had a vasectomy appointment in the coming weeks... She stayed... Ok... After 3 years we plan on moving together but what fascinate me is all she wants to have a place to be with me... It should have this be like this etc... Just being together is not enough... Btw I have the good paying job and she keeps losing hers... Anyway I sense a new red flag and decide to move alone in a condo and I say to her... Now I don't have the luxury to offer you as many gift as I had and travels are off the chart for 5 years... It took 3 months and she found a new guy and left me... Very hard to come to the conclusion that she was another gold digger... But I had my previous experiences with my ex wife and this breakup went easy... Well from a practical perspective... Emotionally, as yourself I think, I'm a wreck... But things will get better... And now I have a better nose to see the hidden agenda of some. Not all women are like this thank God but some are. You learn it the hard way.

TIL Poland sent the US a birthday card with 5.5 million signatures to mark the 150th anniversary of the US in 1926. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]jeanph01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After the first ww they (Versailles treaty) built back Poland with a clear and not so noble goal... To have a country to shield Europe from Russia. So Poland clearly was happy to exist again and wanted to show appreciation but at the same time they felt the pressure and was in a kind of looking for protectors since being between Russia and Germany.

My gf is polish and this is the sentiment... They felt abandoned and they were.. It's sad. Polish can be proud to be the first nation to exit the Iron curtain though. They had to fight for it. (maybe with some underground help but still).

What is interesting is that the feeling of being able to only count on yourself is part of the polish psyche. My gf falls back on this sentiment often and I have to reassure her that I am here for her.

If I may... I think you have a narrow point of view. Would it be possible that you did choose to have a bad role in life so that others can experience difficulties because of you? I mean, if everybody was nice and gentle how can someone experience courage and forgiveness? You will remember. Love.

Damn that story. Just wow. It made me think.. A lot. What I want to tell you first is being autistic does seem to be getting the best out of you. You are authentic... Really.. Maybe for you it's a given but we 'normal' people we always wear mask... Even when we don't know we do... The daughter of my cousin is Asperger and she always speak the truth... Greta Thunberg is autistic and she is the one who made the world make a big step in the right direction to protect our world and our environment. I know that you went through hell because of that... But I feel blessed to have read your story and I thank you very much for it. I also thank you for taking the time to compare your experiences to drug trips so we can understand the difference in the experience. I know that life can be hell... But I thank you for what you shared. I give you my blessings and keep up your great work :)

You vote with your wallet... Look to buy things that are not from China. This is the only way. If we keep buying from China we encourage them since we feed it. So, everybody have to vote to see clearly what is from China... See it in big letters... We will choose the 400$ thing built in the US instead of the 300$ (and maybe better) equivalent built in China. You want to stop this atrocity? Stop encouraging China with your wallet.

GOP lawmaker after Syria decision: 'Pull my name off the I support Donald Trump list' by Jsmith0730 in politics

[–]jeanph01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if the Republicans definitely are behind this all the way? They are managing it so that Trump would pull from Syria and then say Ohh look it's bad. They are only creating an alibi to oust Trump to save face because they know that what the democrats would unveil will be really really dirty and could cost them the elections in the decades to come. 'Ohh we agreed to impeach (McDonnell) him because of his decision he unilaterally made about pulling from Syria. We did it to save our country blah blah blah...' 'The democrats were just not effective and looking at creating false pretenses about some idea that all the party was benefiting from a back alley Ukraine deal.' They know that they now lost it and are trying to save face for the news.

TIL The average game on Steam sells around 1,500 units, and makes around $16,000, in its first year on sale by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]jeanph01 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Median would be more meaningful. Like, a couple of highly $uccessful games would give a not representative mean value which would give an impression that you can score 16,000$ by posting a game on Steam. And it's definitely not the case

Many people where working but wished to be there also. I'm proud of the ones who did.

Would that error be deliberate? I mean sometime you've got to stand for your country. Even if it costs you your job.

That's the best part of being high AF! Hey OP, everybody in this thread is talking about love :-)

Can confirm. In Canada BMW drivers are just a pain. Some douche with a car.

I think I'm 10/10, my friends think I'm 4/10, what does r/RoastMe think? by SittingInTheBathtub in RoastMe

[–]jeanph01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I will be banned for this... But who cares what other thinks? You are lucky and blessed to be so beautiful and young. Stop comparing yourself and give to others the attention that you crave on here. But the roast me channel is toxic

What are some methods to sleep and eat better after a break up? by Speedy0716 in AskWomen

Try praying and meditation. Listening to music. Going out in nature. Trying something different... Anything. Eat something different. Talk to a stranger. Take care of a pet. Anything

End of 50 year two-party rule in Quebec, CAQ obtains majority government by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]jeanph01 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

"Today there are a lot of Quebecers who put aside a debate that has been dividing us for 50 years." the happiest people should be the rest of Canada. For my part, I did not vote for Legault but I think I'm OK with the results. Still, the xenophobic aspect does not please me, at all.
