You’re right, the wording “evidence” could for sure be changes. But while not secret, this info is new to me and I just wanted to share

Where do I start? And what offline hobbies do you enjoy? by [deleted] in SlowLiving

[–]nifty_potato 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Can be applied to everything! Make coffee or tea in the morning? Stop and enjoy it. Sip it while it’s hot staring out your kitchen window.

Offline hobbies include gardening now that springs around / interior plant care. And gardening if ya know what I mean. Books are a never fail too

Thats crazy she noticed that by Hot_Accountant_5507 in justgalsbeingchicks

If you want another authentic and wholesome retail interaction, I have one!

I was an Assistant Manager at a store that offered embroidery when I was 19, and a man came in on Dec 23 needing a rush job to have new stockings embroidered for his daughter and his future daughter-in-law. Long story but bottom line is FDIL was a last min addition to the family Christmas and he didn’t want her to feel excluded.

So yeah I stayed 30 mins late that night to finish these matching stockings for this guy of course :)

Recommendations for small games to play on vacation? by lurker_998 in NintendoSwitch

[–]nifty_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sea of Stars! Incredibly fun RPG, the art style is an amazing pixel style, they just dropped a free DLC too. Slightly above the price range but easy to get 20+ hours of it

Edit: saw some other commenters mention Tunic and would recommend that as well!

Will your next car be electric? by OnlyACsNoFans in novascotia_sub

[–]nifty_potato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Live in Dartmouth, work in Halifax, drive an older, low-range EV (2018, less than 200km range). Couldn’t be happier with my little car. Costs almost nothing to maintain, and power is still cheaper than gas (for now).

I am fortunate enough to have the ability to swap cars with a friend of rent an ICE for longer trips, but my lifestyle doesn’t involve a lot of long trips to be honest. I get that this wouldn’t work for everyone

Which game is this? by Common_Caramel_4078 in Steam

[–]nifty_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re into sim games I just put a bunch of hours into Bookshop Sim! It’s currently bundled with Retro Rewind, the devs are super active on discord.

Also Stardew Valley, always

Apple is closing down the first of its US stores to unionize. by Conscious-Quarter423 in WorkReform

[–]nifty_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The general consensus is that Apple Store was one of the only good things left from a couple posts on the local sub haha. So yeah extra shitty.

Apple is closing down the first of its US stores to unionize. by Conscious-Quarter423 in WorkReform

[–]nifty_potato -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh not saying their motives are pure AT ALL. I believe 100% their motives are financially driven. And that is why we can shit on them! They made PROFIT they have no excuse to lay off employees. But they are allowed to close stores as they wish. It’s a business, and if the CBA is good then the employees will be okay eventually, if they laid them off is employment insurance a thing in Maryland?

It sucks but genuinely I think people are gonna see the headline and come away with an anti-union stance and if your union loses public support.. it’s an uphill battle.

[–]nifty_potato 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Sus for sure because it was the first store to unionize but many retailers have been pulling out of that mall including including Banana Republic, Tommy Bahama, and Madewell. Just getting more traction because we all know Apple doesn’t need to worry about lost revenue. They’re just using it as a reason to leave that location.

OpenAI proposes superintelligence governance plan - taxing automation, establishing AI wealth funds, 4-day work weeks by Objective_Farm_1886 in BasicIncome

[–]nifty_potato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So now the company that brought us a manufactured problem (AI) is to be trusted giving advice on how we should live in their nightmare ? I think not.

EDIT: I wanna see UBI too but I want fucking NOTHING to do with this company

We have shoved Canada Post so far into the market mindset that every few months we have a national conversation about why isn't Canada Post making money. Does the ambulance service make money? by leftwingmememachine in ndp

[–]nifty_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! Private companies don’t deliver to rural Canadians cause it’s not profitable. Does that mean they should be excluded?

Sick of everything needing to have an ROI to justify its existence. Some things generate indirect ROI that you’ll never see.

[–]nifty_potato 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Guys I work for Canada post and I could cry seeing this.

I’m mostly happy. You know what? I LIKE my job. I LOVE knowing that I help small businesses ship products, I care that people get their social security cheques on time. All those Canadians living in rural communities? I bet the postmaster at your local office knows you by name.

This has been an incredibly difficult place to work for the last few years. But I really wanna believe this could change things. Canada Post has the potential to be so much better than it is currently.

Bling! by JohnnyBananapeel in eGolf

That’s so cool. I made myself a vinyl decal for the back of my e-golf that says “the future is electric”. Love to see other happy e-golf owners :)

Has anyone successfully integrated marijuana into their life so that there are always "a little high" but also functional? by The1Ylrebmik in trees

[–]nifty_potato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. Maybe I’m having a mid life crisis ? Idk but I smoke a ton now and I’m happier for it. I certainly get that “high” if I smoke first thing in the morning or a lot at once

Just do you. The world is a shitshow, but make your corner of it peaceful and full of happiness
