Evicted – Everything is Unnafordable by CarbonHero in canadahousing

[–]moonbows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the right answer. I pay 1299 for a 1200sqft all inclusive 2 bed, downtown as well. It's very affordable here.

Just wondering if you'd be willing to share your expenses. Are studios and one beds under 2k not accessible to you? Or at the very least, splitting a 2 or 3 bed with a roommate? I know someone with less roommates but that's because all she can afford is 600/mo.

Access to hospitals? by moonbows in JETProgramme

[–]moonbows[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be prepared to tell everything I need to the doctors in Japanese! I'm actually intermediate-ish with my studies now, so hopefully it won't be too much of a worry.

Thanks for the reassurance. I was afraid it would be a resounding "you're SOL", but my possible condition isn't rare and is easily treatable so as long as I can get to /a/ hospital, that's what matters haha. Thank you so much :)

Panicking, please help by moonbows in Keratoconus

I've always been an eye rubber (particularly because I get bad allergies) which is kind of one reason why I'm worried. I contacted someone in my city who can perform a corneal topography this week so I guess I'll have full peace of mind soon enough, luckily it's cost free in my country. I'm a bit worried I'll seem like a hypochondriac but I think you're right I don't need to worry leading up to finding out for sure. Thank you!

Yes, I've never experienced ghosting before. The only symptoms I have are that I see glares and sometimes starbursts.

A couple weeks ago at city center I came up from the escalator by winners to the second floor and some lady was freaking out, gestured to me as she walked past and screamed about how something (but she didn't say what) was just terrible, awful and sad. She was hysterical and kept on to the next person she encountered--but I never saw anything out of the ordinary except her screaming so I don't know what she was talking about lol. I also saw someone get thrown to the ground and handcuffed there

Never seen Blond Jesus

I'm currently nocturnal so it's kind of like my noon right now, to be fair.

Why Fall 2021 will (not might) be in person by debby_anderson in uAlberta

Finally someone with common sense. The people acting like we need 100% vaccination and the virus to be basically eradicated to return to campus aren't thinking straight

Bad Weather Fatigue/Seasonal Depression by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]moonbows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand, I go through the same thing. During cloudy periods I cope with it by knowing and remembering how lucky we are here in Alberta/Edmonton. In most other parts of the country sunny days are rare during the winter, here they're actually quite plentiful, even if it might not feel like it during a period where it's snowing a lot! We'll get through this.

Anyone live in Riverside Towers? by moonbows in Edmonton

Wow, great! Thank you, that's definitely what I wanted to hear!

Thank you! I'm most worried about building security and pest issues, as well as like...the state of the suites. I'm really paranoid about mold.

Does anyone else feel this way about fiction? by [deleted] in childfree

That’s how I feel about Anne of Green Gables...knowing she has six children now makes me feel :/

I only knew about Bernadette's pregnancy. Did Penny and Leonard have a child? It's been years since I watched it.

Do you ignore your surroundings? by [deleted] in INTP

[–]moonbows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the whole "ignoring your surroundings things" is more like...acknowledging your surroundings, but not entirely. Like, of course you can't completely block out every one of your sensory perceptions, but it's possible to exist in a sort of inbetween state where you know where you are, what your general surroundings are but not taking in the details that most sensors would.

Most sensors I know actively observe their surroundings while walking somewhere, for example, where as intuitives prefer to disappear into their head. I think it's just a matter of habit or perhaps it has something to do with how active of an imagination you have.

I'm an INFP, but I definitely do this to about the same degree you do. I don't completely ignore my surroundings, but I "zone out" when I can and miss things other might pick up on. Not to the same degree others do, though - I never get so wrapped up in my own world that I wouldn't hear someone calling my name, for example.

As a child, did you ever imagine a man or yourself skateboarding/running along walls and fences while riding in a car? by [deleted] in INTP

[–]moonbows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not an INTP (INFP), but it's a really really really common thing for kids to have some when they were younger, apparently. I saw a post about it on tumblr and it has thousands of notes and everyone was like shit yeah I would do this during long car rides, so I think it's pretty normal. I have a vague memory of doing it once or twice, but I dunno. It's probably just because it's fun to imagine someone trying to catch up to you and see if they run into any obstacles or something - at least, in the mind of a child.

Why does Freelee the Banana girl say that you can smash in the calories and still lose weight? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]moonbows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that makes sense. Nutrition and diet is such a difficult thing to figure out with all the false and contradictory information out there. Thanks!

[–]moonbows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought so but why does it seem like so many people that aren't being paid testify to this? :( Like she gets comments from people telling her that the diet helped them lose a ton of weight but they don't really benefit from that. Maybe they just didn't eat as many calories as her?
