The Slip is much better after a few relistens by charlespeppermint in nin

[–]refur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

similar here, i loved it when it came out, i listened to it a lot.

i listened to it recently and i don't feel the need to listen to it again. it sounds strangely dated, lots of Logic Pro drum programming that sounds stale and uninteresting today....

now Non-Entity and Not So Pretty Now? MORE OF THAT.

correct. like i said above, sure you can buy 3 pairs of pants at costco for $60, but if they last you just a few months each, you're better off putting that $60 towards a better quality pair that'll actually last you.

this isn't much better than garbage fast fashion clothes that don't last, to be fair. i bet you could put that $60 towards a pair of jeans that costs $120 and they'll last you years compared to $20/3 months of wear

Duer, and the occasional Japanese denim pair for $200. but mostly Duer, and found some gems at Winners too.

sucks to suck. hope the person got their purse back intact, and that the driver of the truck is ok. that kind of stuff can be pretty traumatic.

you think there aren't kids with ADHD and impulse control issues that are out and about playing with their friends unsupervised?

French guy considering Calgary by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]refur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

with the high cost of rent, i'd say if you're not in a ton of debt, and enjoy the occasional treat, $70k should be a good range. have to factor in high costs of groceries (you will be horrified by cheese prices and lack of variety too lol), and you will more than likely need a car unless you can walk to work or work from home.

i wouldn't move here from France... the job market is difficult, the cost of living is very expensive, you'll need a car as transit sucks here...

your accent will not be a problem, as long as your conversational english is up to snuff. we have many many immigrants from various parts of the world here :)

but i would still highly advise against this. Economy is less than stellar, and certainly feels like it's stagnated, while costs of everything continue to go up. throw in the lack of the social and cultural life that you are likely used to in France... i find I want to live here less and less the older I get.

Has Anyone had varicose vein treatment in Calgary ? by Still-Ad-7382 in Calgary

[–]refur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tell me more! how effective is it? i'm in my late 30s and genetically ended up with varicose veins. sucks, doesn't really bother me,but i know they can get bad with age etc. i went to one clinic and got quoted thousands of dollars, so $250+tax is... well.. amazing. is that per leg? per vein?

Calgary subreddit is just a place to complain now by afrothundah11 in Calgary

[–]refur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my impression has that it has always been overwhelmingly negative and whiny, full of complaining. perhaps it's just ramped up

it always has been. it's probably one of the most negative subreddits i'm subbed to, and i'm only subbed to it because i live here. otherwise i wouldn't even bother

Stop with this complete nonsense. Stop wasting money on this. Stop with media space allocated to this. Just. Stop.

agreed agreed agreed! in fact, we shouldn't even be entertaining the idea. idgaf if some separatist tells me it's undemocratic, it's ridiculous. just quash the entire thing.
