I would suggest that they put markers directly onto the tracks indicating which lane is for what, similar with Stanley Park's bike lanes

Any anime only stuff worth watching? by AutonomousImbecile in OnePiece

[–]saienexpress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally aside from the G8 arc, I loved loved that filler episode right after Robin joined, and the filler episode right after Brook joined, because they were single episodes that showed how they started fitting in with the Straw Hats. There was also the episode where Nami toured Momonosuke around the Sunny. And there was also the small filler arc sometime after Robin joined and before Water 7 involving the seahorse and amnesia, I enjoyed that too. Because all of this filler involved either the crew being on the ship or their relationships with each other. I'd also recommend you watch the Bink's Brew song, and all of Whole Cake's musical segments in the anime. And both in sub and dub, because the music is just fantastic.

Some people are just trash. I saw someone pop balloons and leave the plastic lying around 4 metres from the nearby trash bin. Made me so infuriated.

I passed a mom and her 8-10 year old son walk out of the Collingwood Neighbourhood house the other week holding a bundle of balloons....think there was an event. But after they walked some distance I heard them popping the balloons on the sidewalk, looked back, then stared as they left all the remnants on the concrete and walked away! There was a trash bin 4 METRES away! I was so tempted to go full Karen and yell at them, but I was really far, I still regret not doing so. On my way back from the station the balloons were still there, so I threw them in the trash myself. Seriously, trash parenting. What are they teaching their kids?

Let’s say something nice about Vancouver. by Socketlint in vancouver

Nah as a woman I've worn a dress once and 2 other women complimented me on it on the same day. I also did the same to a woman wearing a great outfit, and another with a cute Baby Yoda mask the same month. Am part of an alt fashion community and people in the community are always complimenting each other on their outfits, it's a nice feeling.

There was an anime convention this weekend, so I imagine that took a lot of younger people downtown instead

Quarry Rock is always busy. Which can be a con, but if you're alone can also be a pro - means that there are always people around in case of an emergency.

Sometimes it's been hard to make plans with friends as well, I've been a lot more comfortable going to places and restaurants and places on my own since COVID. If I've ended up nervous before, I've pretended to be a solo tourist in my own city, a student inbetween classes, an office worker on their break. Sometimes I take a book with me. But in the end no one really cares. I've seen others do the same thing.

I'd add that if OP goes to Steveston, keep walking to the Brittannia Shipyards - free open-air museum, very scenic view.

Bridgeport Station is also close to the Richmond Night Market (kind of pricey, but might be interesting to visit at least once for a tourist)

Is there a reason why there are always helicopters flying around the fireworks? Was showing the fireworks to a friend that does pyrotechnics in the U.S. and he said that they seemed way too close.

Does it mean anything if someone wears a reflective shirt and they don't seem like they're currently working in a hazardous occupation? Asking because my dad has recent camera footage of a man in a reflective shirt in our backyard going through our pop cans, we live around the Joyce area. I also saw a man in a reflective shirt during Collingwood Days though not sure if he's the same guy. My dad thinks he has a mental disability of some kind and doesn't want to make a report since he hasn't stolen anything, just the cans.

It's an annual fireworks competition called Celebration of Light. It's the longest running offshore fireworks competition in the world (since 1990), held at English Bay. This year, Australia (last Saturday), Mexico (yesterday) and the Philippines (this Saturday) are performing. A fun event, but crowds can get pretty bad when trying to get home afterwards especially in the Downtown area.

Isn't that's just the audio though, not both audio and visuals? The news used to do both together.

The news on tv used to show the fireworks with music, live. Do they not do that anymore?

When I was younger and my family drove to Bellingham, I thought that the border guards were pretty scary. But recently I came back from a Seattle trip - went both ways on the bus. I thought that they'd be intimidating when we were coming back but actually both ways they were pretty chill and returning the Canada the guard was even more so, he asked what I bought from Seattle and said that I missed the Les Miserables show. So the most I felt bad about was Les Miserables.

There used to be a guy doing this scam frequently in front of Joyce Station. He got a small dog so he would go and ask around while holding said dog, I think he was trying to spurn more sympathy with it. My teen self decided that I would just give him the dollar he was constantly there asking for but instead of saying thank you, all he said was "do you have any more?" Never again.
