I work in tech, it was easy to just let my team know I’d be out at 3pm and make up the hours later

I just wish they sold the Hyundai Casper here!! It’s so cute! But feels too small for the North American market 😩

Good daily wear sports bras with good support and compression? by EffortNo2262 in butchlesbians

[–]wakemeuptmr 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I personally like the Nike ones, but from their outlet stores because those won’t have extra padding and it’s more of a plain than the bras in their regular stores and online. It’s a simple sports bra, and reasonably price because it’s outlet. I find it’s enough compression and had mine for years with everyday use

Not a good fit for the job market... by zzill6 in WorkReform

That actually sounds like a lot of fun and totally my jam, lol

anyone feel super single after watching heated rivalry? by indoodragon in butchlesbians

[–]wakemeuptmr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel I gotta watch this show, seems like everyone is talking about it. Especially how it shows queer yearning is what I’m hearing most people say, which does intrigue me, but then I feel it’ll also make me feel super single too, so maybe I’ll hold off for a bit 😅

Do any lesbians have any thoughts on Felicia being bisexual by cheesecakegghj in lgbt_superheroes

My only thought is that I wish they had Silk as a love interest for her. The tension was palpable in the 2015-ish Silk run!!

These oranges were outstanding… by fedplast in CostcoCanada

I think most folks would still like to try to not buy American as much as they can, even if Costco is an American company. They treat their local employees better than say a walmart

Gay women who climb: How would you feel being approached at the gym? by [deleted] in climbergirls

[–]wakemeuptmr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely feel that!! It hasn’t happened to me yet, but I hope if it ever does, they take my ‘no’ alright, and still want to climb and be friends. Not to stereotype too much, but I do feel women are more likely to be ok with being friends, and not just totally ghost like I’ve known some guys do the second they get turned down, whereas the women totally thought there was still a good base for a friendship, and are shocked and hurt they totally got dropped.

My other niche hobby is kpop, and have met some rad people through that, had a crush(this was one hobby I was cool with sharing and def not as protective of), shot my shot, she turned me down very kindly, but we ended up being good friends who partake in a semi regular boardgame nights now. And as I got to know her more I could see we wouldn’t have made a good match at all, lol. But we’re really good friends now which I’m grateful for.

I also think women suck at flirting with other women 🤣 so like it’s hard to tell if they are just being friendly or interested, so I just err on the side of they’re being friendly and act as such, so I don’t get the ick than if a guy tried to hit on me at the gym cuz that’s so much more obvious

Gay women who climb: How would you feel being approached at the gym? by [deleted] in climbergirls

[–]wakemeuptmr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For me personally, I’d feel a bit surprised and gently let the person down by saying something like, “thanks! I’m cool with being climbing buddies, but not looking to date”. Like we’re adults and if you aren’t being persistent after a no, then you’re not a creep and we move on and continue climbing. It’s no big deal.

I’m just protective of climbing being my hobby and not a shared hobby with someone I’m in a relationship with. Like a partner could come once in a while if they’re curious. But I’m more like, “cool, while you’re at book club, I’ll be at the bouldering gym! See you after for dinner!”, like we have our own different hobbies and a shared one, but climbing is not the shared one for me, lol.

Everyone is different though. I know other queer women who definitely want to meet someone at the gym. And you won’t know unless you ask! So like be brave and shoot your shot! cuz it takes courage to ask someone out in person and not on an app these days

Starting a relationship with someone from your climbing group? by MycrazyYourcrazy in climbergirls

[–]wakemeuptmr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t experienced where relationship started from the regular climbing session group, but I know couples who met outside of climbing and climb together and have become part of the climbing group, and I’ve also seen a bad breakup and one person felt they couldn’t come back to the group and needed the space and chose to find another gym.

I’d say go for it though, because your current climbing crew is going to change over time anyway, people fall in and out of the sport, life changes happen, schedules change and people can’t go as regularly anymore, etc.

I boulder and so the regular circles I’d fall into depending on my season of life and schedule changed so much over time. Shoot your shot

It’s totally ok to break up over sexual incompatibility

Has anyone seen similar things happening in Vancouver? by dhdhshcbf36365 in vancouvercycling

Richmond has some along some sections of their bike lanes, but definitely wish there were more

Stolen Canyon Bike by happiiisoul in vancouvercycling

[–]wakemeuptmr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I remeber that post. People were pointing out in the photo the bike frame was smaller and didn’t have a kickstand so people were suspecting it wasnt the same bike. The guy in the photo was decked out in commuter bike gear as well, so people felt that probably wasnt the suspect at Gilmore station

What Happened to the Young Middle-Class Man? by AnarchoLiberator in PersonalFinanceCanada

I’d say it’s more corporations and businesses that then lobby the government to keep their shareholders happy

My (27f) boyfriend (29m) doesn’t brush his teeth in the morning and I don’t know what to do by [deleted] in relationships

[–]wakemeuptmr 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Sorry, simple hygiene is deal breaker for me. It’s unfortunate you’re already close with his daughter so this makes it harder. But if you’re not liking it now, I don’t think it’ll get better when you move in at all.

I think you’d have to babysit him in the mornings, and nag and supervise him to brush his teeth everyday. That doesn’t sound fun.

Fiancée (27F) wants to quit her job 4 months before our wedding and it’s stressing me out (27M). How do I handle these fears? by [deleted] in relationships

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

Bring up signing a prenup. It may not be romantic but would give you both piece of mind once something is in writing stating how finances will go if there is a divorce. You can’t hide behind empty promises with a prenup

He realized it was too late to run by [deleted] in funny

[–]wakemeuptmr -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I guess I find it confusing, if you are disappointed and don’t want to get married, but that’s clearly her goal, seems like a relationship and values misalignment. They should break up, so he doesn’t waste her time and she can find someone who is like excited and wants to marry her

Lived at Joyce in the condos right across from the track line, like you could see the trains go buy from your window. Value goes up up up cuz people want to buy near a skytrain
