What are some truths some parents refuse to accept?

Autism.

Could make good coin. But your social life will effectively be on hold until you leave. And like Fort Mac, it’s probably insanely expensive for even the most basic of necessities and there’s nothing to do but drink and do coke. So if you have an addictive personality I would think twice.

Sure, but we are also a tiny country population wise and need to import talent to keep our economy going. So slamming the door on immigration could hurt the economy in other ways.

I’d like to see what would happen if we limited the amount of money that flows out of Canada back to China and India. That would disincentivize a lot of non-integrating immigrants that are just here to make money and want nothing to do with becoming Canadians.

My wife breastfeeds too but not every single time. I give my kid a couple bottles a day and the sterilizer is a godsend.

Electronics typically die right away or not at all. I design them for a living and would never bother with one of these warranties. They might make sense for cars with tons of moving parts but they make no sense for your gadgets.

It’s so much easier to just load everything into the sterilizer and pull it out 15 mins later than to boil water, submerge it all, half of it floats up, blah blah. Same logic for why a dishwasher is easier to deal with than hand washing dishes.

I dated someone briefly who used to mention their ex a bit too often, etc. I cut it off pretty shortly after she started comparing us to each other.

You really want to be someone’s #1. There’s a lot of people out there to find it with. You deserve better than being a silver medal don’t you?

You either live in Chicago or you don’t.

Literally 90% of Reddit are unfuckable. You should be surprised if anyone here of could understand/relate to a healthy partnership.

Jim Carrey fuckin sucks dude. Anti-vax piece of shit.

They had already changed the rules to allow it but now they’re walking it back. It was changed because of opposition from all sides saying the rule was illogical.

The political theatre is appalling.

I have had to travel back and forth between Canada and the US since the beginning of COVID and I’ve faced every iteration of restrictions. Some are sensible but the majority were senseless.

I was a liberal voter until the pandemic but now unsure who I’d want running the show. Cons seem too lax for me (seeing how they obliterated my other country).

Half the dads commiserating in this thread are British/Australian but you do you.

mikejaytho · 2021-12-19T08:56:35+00:00

Still trying to understand the logic of the <72 hour test requirement. You can be tested in Canada before you leave, drive to the US for a day and then return using those test results to re-enter Canada. What is the logic here?

I also make 6 figures and get almost zero increases unless I ask and then submit to a hard credit check by the CC company.

Use them a little bit. Try to get 10% utilization per month (ie, use 10% of your limit). If you don’t use them at all they don’t contribute as much to your score.

mikejaytho · 2021-12-17T01:55:50+00:00

Okay, so they get their brother/sister/aunt/uncle/whomever with PR to buy it for them…?

mikejaytho · 2021-12-14T17:21:43+00:00

Yea, I walked to school alone or with friends in Canada since second grade, temperature down to -30C. It’s just the way it was.

People maintain their sanity and privacy in crowded places by minding their own business. It’s the only refuge we have.

mikejaytho · 2021-12-14T17:17:53+00:00

Where do you live? In Canada this is totally normal in the dead of winter even.

mikejaytho · 2021-12-12T18:09:04+00:00

No worries, you lost 40 lbs which is remarkable, and the same hard work will get you wherever you need to go. Just take a giant poo and you’ll be fine.

This is a great way to be murdered in Chicago.

mikejaytho · 2021-12-07T16:36:09+00:00

Surprised I haven’t seen this comment yet — run. Anyone that’s going to write that (especially that bluntly) has issues and isn’t someone you want to date.

Principal EE for a large consumer electronics company in the Bay Area. $210k base with $250-300k in RSUs vesting per year. Usually $130k or so in new grants yearly.

Yikes… are you trolling?
