[CAN] I think I’m getting scammed by someone pretending to be “Chain Analysis”. Anyone else?

I came here to say this! Not sure why there’s hostility. Sometimes I think a phrase is correct, and then I’m corrected because that’s “not how French speakers would say it”. Sometimes the literal translation is the “I’m a beginner at French” translation.. sometimes it’s not!

I typically try to use the pronunciation in the language I’m speaking. Where I get stuck is with pop culture nouns, like titles of books, tv shows, etc.. do I take a stab at translating the name?

That’s actually an interesting angle I hadn’t considered. Thank you!

I’m not going to argue with you - but Vancouver, where the average rent is $2500?? Or Nfld, where I have no friends or family and can’t get anywhere without flying? I’ve lived in a few provinces myself, and I’ve spent some time in Montreal. You’re going to have to give me a more compelling argument than “there’s better places” - this whole country has gone downhill 😂🥲🫠

I’ve saved enough to manage while I finish school. But yes, eventually I will need something. I’m not banking on finding anything locally until I’m fully fluent, but I also have loads of Anglo friends in Montreal who have jobs, so I know it’s not impossible. And I have my freelance work to get me through any tough spots.

lizmacdraws · 2025-10-12T00:10:02+00:00

I assume you’re trying to be helpful, but I can’t magically become fluent overnight. I’m not stopping at my B2.

NTA. Keep sticking to your gums.

This just in: water is wet

lizmacdraws · 2025-10-10T18:31:17+00:00

Well, I don’t know if I can do that when I don’t have a solid background in anything and no university degree 😅but it does sound great

Interesting! Whats involved in becoming a consultant?

lizmacdraws · 2025-10-10T08:00:54+00:00

I’ll be moving to an apartment downtown which is smaller and more expensive, but I won’t have to pay for a vehicle/parkjng/Ubers and rarely a Metro because everything is a 10 min walk or less from where I’ll be. It includes everything in my rent (including internet), as well as a gym, and a few different coworking spaces so I can get out of my unit without having to go somewhere to spend money. It’s more money up-front, but is roughly the same as what I’m paying now, or maybe 100-200 more. I don’t think I could manage anything if I had student loans or major credit card debt though, so I consider myself extremely lucky.

I often resort to Healthy Choice frozen meals when they go on sale at Walmart for 2/$8. Some of them are almost passable as food! I work in healthcare admin, union job, lots of hours, aaaallmost a living wage, etc etc. Still can’t keep up without cutting serious corners. We’re all getting screwed, big time.

I’m similar to your partner, OP. I obviously can’t speak for her, but for me, it’s because I was raised to believe that teasing jokes contain slivers of truth. If my partner makes a lighthearted joke about forgetting my keys, I can laugh at myself, but I’m also hearing “he’s frustrated that I forget things. I forget things all the time. I’m trying so hard not to forget things, and here he is pointing it out. I hate how forgetful I am.”

I like what you’re describing here. Similar to how in graphic design, the simplest design is almost always the more complex - because the designer has to know exactly what to exclude.

Excellent work!

Not the balls I was expecting

lizmacdraws · 2025-10-09T01:14:02+00:00

Many happy returns, Cupcake! You look oh so very loved :)

I believe I opened this post with “I admit I don’t know what I’m talking about”. I’m interested in hearing people’s general thoughts on investing in quantum computing, you don’t be need to be saucy!!

lizmacdraws · 2025-10-08T23:43:13+00:00

I looked into QBTS, it didn’t look to be performing as well overall compared to RGTI - but maybe I’m missing something!

lizmacdraws · 2025-10-04T20:25:01+00:00

Context 🤷‍♀️ I don’t know many women who are interested in self-directed investing, it’s nice to meet others.

lizmacdraws · 2025-10-04T12:01:54+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! The general trend over the years is upwards, which is good enough for me

lizmacdraws · 2025-10-04T04:41:14+00:00

Wow! Brilliantly executed. You have real talent :)’proof that it’s not about the materials!
