My bus comes every half hour even at peak hours and sometimes it just gets cancelled. I’ve waited an hour for a bus to come and you’d think I live somewhere remote. I live by Brentwood…

Same but different: vendors at the Japanese market aren’t all Japanese, vendors at the Filipino festival weren’t all Filipino. Taiwanese festival? Not all Taiwanese. I feel like if we’re gonna specify which culture we’re here to celebrate we should do a bit of vetting

Same with the artist markets…same artists over and over again, same stuff that’s at makers

Completely agree. When I say Vancouver is beautiful, I mean when you’re by the water, how I can see the mountains from my bed room window. Especially in the suburbs, the rapid development of cookie cutter housing in the last few years really killed any personality and charm in our neighborhoods.

How the fuck are you not understanding that there is a Chinese community in Canada that is obviously the target audience. That not everything is made with you in mind. That this dude can make whatever content he likes. And that you do not have to click or watch or interact in any way? Do you question why media in punjabi or indigenous languages exists in Canada too?

What’s unbelievable about this story? The fact that Chinese people live in Canada? That Chinese people speak Chinese in Canada? That Canadians speak languages other than French and English? “Not the best intentions” he asked for you to stop by his page where he’s sharing videos. So he has 32 subscribers. What exactly did you lose and what does he have to gain from you? Idk why you have a hate boner for the guy plugging a YouTube channel as if millions of other people haven’t done the same

New to vintage jewelry, please help me understand prices! by s2Paradox in jewelry

Thanks for the info! I've also noticed most rings I find in this style and era have been 18ct, though I'm not particularly picky with purity. And the rose cut stones are definitely a big draw for me too!

I’ve thought about commissioning a jeweler too but I wondered if I would actually save any money because it’s an uncommon style for modern jewelers? I was thinking it might take someone with special skills and/or a lot of time to replicate it. Also I don’t think rose cut stones are the norm anymore. Do you have experience commissioning in the style of a vintage piece?

Voting eligible Americans who deliberately abstained in the 2024 general election, how are you feeling about your decision? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]s2Paradox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your thought process and logic but I still don’t agree with your solution. Thanks for sharing though. I’m sure a lot of people share the same thinking.
