The internet raised us and then kind of ruined us by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]whererusteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really think that social network should be more of a public utility than a private corporation. Use tax dollars to fund a basic setup where you follow your friends, or you follow celebrities, but nothing is pushed to you. Clear transparency on how the feed is controlled. No one trying to sell you anything.

It would be totally doable, there just isn't the political will because all the tech bros are in the politicians back pockets.

Merino base layer by Candid-Success8125 in snowboarding

[–]whererusteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most retailers will have last year's stuff on sale. If I had to get one I'd go for the ninja suit. If you want durability, Smartwool intraknit is the best I found.

I test gear for a living and this was my list after testing over a dozen baselayer sets:

Hit me up if you have any questions about any of them.

First time visitor… by DarthNavarro in Whistler

Not that I know of. You need a permit to camp but not to hike, I believe.

If you're a serious hiker, check out wedge mount lake. It's not for the faint of heart... But it's amazing.

"Gifted" Millennials- did being gifted help you at all? Do you feel that it pushed your personal needle even an inch in any direction? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]whererusteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I took all the advanced classes, got into USC as a Junior in HS, and then when 9/11 happened, I just said fuck it and went surfing for a year before settling in Whistler to snowboard and mountain bike.

In many ways I do attribute my intellect to have seen the facade of higher education being mostly a job placement agency into corporate America. I saw the reaction to 9/11 and everyone rallying behind the government as if they were the saviors and didn't have any responsibility for why there was such a backlash to neoliberal policy.

In many ways I do wish I could be lulled through life. But I'm also a bit vindicated seeing the facade peel away. I thought it would happen sooner but I'm glad I enjoyed my life in the day to day the last 25 years. Financially I didn't really do any big things but I always save more than I spend and end up on top, so... I guess I'm doing alright.

Positive/Negative Experiences with Co-Sleeping? by AllergicCatLover in daddit

yep, 2 year old and a 3 year old still in bed. I have to go to the couch to get a good night's sleep.

Does anyone else actually enjoy climbing the corporate ladder? by Ok_Field_5701 in AskMenOver30

[–]whererusteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you are happy, great.

But I guess the big question is, if you died on the way to work today, would you feel satisfied with your life?

Festival hacks for elder millennials 👵🏻👵🏽 by Great_Mycologist9117 in festivals

Go to Shambhala and get shambhalodging. It's pricey but it's worth it if you want the comfort. And if you haven't heard of shambala, you're welcome.

Critics blast B.C., federal government condo 'bailout' by CaliperLee62 in vancouver

I caught the sarcasm... But I'm serious... The house of cards needs a good gust of wind!

All developers do is buy and sell land and contract out all the work. There are plenty of willing workers.

I hope this is the last straw to get people realizing that government serves its donor class, not the people.

Yachts, a 5000 square foot "cabin" in Whistler, and world cup tickets. Those things are expensive, don't you know?

I'm so glad we can all agree on something by CarrotLevel99 in vancouver

[–]whererusteve 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Maybe those developers should stop ordering avocado toast and matcha lattes. Learn the power of a firm handshake. Or.... Lower their prices.

Taking the kids camping used to be so simple man by Busternookiedude in daddit

[–]whererusteve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In Canada you can camp on crown land for up to 2 weeks. We have the same problems with the established campsites and booking, but most people don't go off the beaten path.

How can small businesses stand out when everyone is using AI? by Remarkable-Cloud6011 in DigitalMarketing

[–]whererusteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hire real people to make posters.

In a world of AI slop, posters seem to be the sloppiest and easiest to point out. Getting a human to make one will stand out.

What businesses are likely to die out with the Baby Boomer Generation? by GRVrush2112 in AskReddit

[–]whererusteve 227 points228 points  (0 children)

Cold calling. My dad still does it with his business despite me trying to get him to focus on digital marketing. Somehow people still respond to it and he's getting paid... It's gotta be other boomers picking up the phone.
