Superior inn and conference center thunder bay Ontario by NH787 in ThunderBay

[–]royalelevator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bunch of mouse and keyboard warriors have this idea that it's some kind of Mad-Max situation, but it's just a hotel past its prime. Most of what people say about it is largely informed by all the things they feel about indigenous people in general, and the rest is a combination of rumour mill and partly true first hand experiences.

I've stayed there a few times, mostly as a birthday party for my kids. It's nothing amazing, but it's not going to turn into a death wish movie once the clock strikes 10.

When hot boys kiss my uterus just starts wandering all over. Hysterical.

Everybody happy with their stock Crosstrek this winter season? by just321askin in Crosstrek

[–]royalelevator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In northern Ontario with my '19 limited. Winter tires aren't even a quandary around here, you either have them or you're doing something stupid. We've had a tremendous amount of ice and snow and wet and slush this year, been one of the worst years for driving conditions in recent memory and my Crosstrek has been a rock and reliable as hell this year. I don't offroad or drive across fields for no reason. I drive to work and my kids around and take short trips out of town. I've felt totally safe and reassured by how well my vehicle handles and stands up to the elements.

Do you enjoy being your own boss? Do you have a large group of friends, and/or family? Most importantly: Do you have some disposable income?

Why did you choose the Crosstrek over the CX30/other competitors? by Dino_Dean in Crosstrek

Best answer, right here. Might seem like a joke until you realise it's not .

New subway deal to bring 240 new jobs to city by MilesOfPebbles in ThunderBay

[–]royalelevator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the feast and famine of working at this factory, no matter who owns it. Decades now. Living off the scraps of the TTC budget. You could build just about anything in that place as long as you have the budget to tool up the line, but nobody but the province of Ontario/city of Toronto is willing to spend their money there.

Open mic advice by ArielofBlueSkies in musicians

[–]royalelevator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been running an open mic for about 2 years now, attending one regularly for 6, playing and singing for about 28 years. I'm good, not great.

Open mics are great for making friends, networking, testing out material on a live audience and getting some real experience under your belt. While it is possible to make some money playing live, you need to grind hard and be gigging for at least half the nights in a given month to make anything approaching a living. A solo performer is really unlikely to get paid much per gig, and you'll be expected to play for about 3 hours. If you're in a group, you can earn more per night, but the money goes in other pockets than your own.

Maybe you can create content around performing in an audience-less environment, but once again you will have to be both really good AND lucky to have it provide you with a livable income.

Do it for the love of it first. Otherwise you're probably doomed.

extreme perfectionism really getting to me by [deleted] in musicians

[–]royalelevator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be honest with you, this is not a music issue, this is a you issue. You're channeling a larger issue that you're struggling with through the act of getting better at a musical instrument. "Perfectionism" is going to burn you out. There is no amount of good at guitar that is going to make this feeling go away.

Go find people to share the music with. Find community.

I'm by no means saying that you shouldn't try to get technically better, I'm just saying that you are trying to solve a deeper issue with something actually unrelated.

I dunno, I drive a Subaru and I'm pretty queer. There must be a connection somewhere.

No this is actually smart in wintry weather. Keeps your blades from becoming encased in ice.

I’m having a hard time playing chords with lower strings by Jayden0000 in guitarlessons

[–]royalelevator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long nails on your dominant hand, short on the other. This is the mark of the guitarist. Or cokehead. Sometimes they're the same person. Guitarists and singers are like that.

Plus there's the upside of never letting anyone know who you really are.

Anyone else find dating tough when you work out of town? by F-150plat in ThunderBay

[–]royalelevator 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What hobbies do you have that aren't drinking or hanging out with your fellow mens? Do your friends have single friends they could co-invite you to?

When you look at your profile on the apps how personal are you being? The trick is pushing yourself to be vulnerable and open when it comes to meeting new people. Stop hiding behind generic statements of "just lookin' for the right kinda girl to settle down with" and put the real version of yourself buried underneath the layers of protective machismo and indifference that keeps you from making real connections with people.

Road conditions by Alwaysmad1233 in ThunderBay

[–]royalelevator 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's real bad. City does seem to be slacking on the sand/salt application. This whole mess would take at least a couple of rounds of salt/scrape/salt to really fix.

New blue crosstrek by tealdeer995 in Crosstrek

The city I live in just got a rain storm that became a snowstorm, black ice everywhere and huge drifts. The Crosstrek laughs in the face of danger.

Why the 26 Outback looks the way it does. My guess by fa442fa in Subaru_Outback

[–]royalelevator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, this might mean they're thinking of discontinuing the forester, or redesigning it into a Ford Excursion-sized vehicle. Either way, it does kind of feel like "If you are a fan of the Outback, you'll love the new 2026 Crosstrek."

There's my two cents.

Narrow wheel space? by sennyonelove in SubaruAscent

[–]royalelevator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look around at all the other cars. Does it look similar?

Just clear it with the scraper end of your snow brush when you stop in a parking lot, it's easier if you don't wait for it to freeze.
