    RIP Araysar

    . I don't even know what currency does what. I just log on every day, do my likes and dislikes with funny animations, stuff works, good enough for me. Saw I had zero tucobucks, figured whatever they do might be neat. Yeah, that was neat alright. I got an outright ban before but a trip to the...

    When something is too small to read, I take a picture of it with my phone and zoom in to see the characters. I tend to do this pretty much only with my work phone since my personal phone is old as shit and has a potato camera. The iPhone decided to offer me a year recap of the pictures I took...

    It's all the cheap shit. Trudeau keeps the brand stuff for his own bathroom. Meanwhile Canadian troops are yelling bang bang during exercises because they're out of blanks. Priorities, we have them.

    Local station somehow found 3 Christmas songs by Miley Cyrus and played them back to back. Never thought I'd miss Mariah Carey but here we are.

    A few more years and they will call it the Fall Sales and they will run the discounts from September to the end of December.

    A thread for boomers to talk about water

    Why would you add minerals to purified water? Have you seen the content of your stomach? Any water you dump in there gets mineralized pretty fast.

    I bought my first automatic in 2021. Current vehicle is my first automatic. In the first weeks I stomped the floor with the left foot trying to hit the clutch more than a few times.

    What tickles your pickle

    Way back, while I was posted to Moose Jaw in Saskatchewan, got a date with a local girl. Things were going well and at some point she asked me something about the last Roughriders game. Told her I didn't follow football. She leaned back in her chair, stared at me for a moment, took a sip of her...

    It's great for those who don't contribute to the system. For contributing members of society, it's complete ass. For junkies it's basically an all you can eat buffet. When I left the military I registered my wife and kid on the waiting list for a family doctor, that was a year and a half ago...

    As a Canadian this statement is so absurd it hurts trying to process it. The only time I waited less than 12 hours at the ER was when I bled all over the place in the triage office. Even then I had to wait for a couple hours.

    Fun fact, if you go through the steel belt, it's rubber again. It's like there's another tire hiding in there!

    Would be great if you could give us an exact day of your return. Would be pretty clutch to perfectly time the bottom.

    I cashed out 100% the week before the COVID crash. I bought the no boats theory bringing about the crash and it paid off. This time around it's a slow bleed and I haven't seen anything I could bank on bringing a precise crash short of world leaders announcing a draft. I was about 70% liquid two...

    I'm down 0.4% this year. My oil, convenience stores and retail are all green. Really have a feel of people trying to hide their money somewhere. When those go down there won't be anything left to hold onto.

    Thursday morning I was looking at my stocks and saw green in the 5000 range. Had the thought "why am I even showing to work?!". Then the whole thing flipped before lunch and it's been a long toilet flushing sound since. Guess I'll keep my day job.

    Bought my 3/2 in 2017 for 222k and just sold it for 421k. Moved to a 5/2 I bought for 185k. That one was in Ontario. Id rather get shot in the knee than landlord in Ontario or Quebec. Their laws are favorable to tenants a stupid amount and they only move even more in that direction. Alberta is...

    It's a lot easier to average down your positions if you have cash put aside ready to be thrown in. Trying to time the market is one thing but in times of turmoil it's not a bad play to keep more cash than you normally would so you can capitalize on opportunities.

    SKs usefulness on raids and groups hinged at 90% on disease cloud. A lvl 1 necro/lvl 9 SK spell. New players asking for a reasoning why they should pick the class were told to go elsewhere if they didn't instinctively understand our obvious superiority while puffing our chest. We collectively...

    Had a fuck buddy I hadn't seen in ten years send me a message out of the blue asking me out. After I pointed out I was already seeing somebody she didn't skip a beat and asked me if any of my friends was single. Some really put in the effort to find someone when they are in their 30s and...

    I decide it's time to look for a bigger vehicle and I'll sell our current car. Get in the car later that day for some grocery and the god damn thing lights up like a Christmas tree.

    That picture is me with Blackberry a year ago. In the span of two months I ended up with close to 600% profit with the funds I had allocated to that stock but a year later I'm still spooked of tech stocks. That shit was meme as fuck, I basically did everything opposite of what Reddit was suggesting.

    Mutual fund I used to have got me little more than 6% return after fees. Took me a good decade to clue in this was horseshit and averaged 29.4% since I took control of what stock I invest in (23.6% this year). I'm just some asshole with little more than a blindfold and a dart board. My disdain...

    I sold my house a couple weeks back, looking to buy one in that place I'm moving to. Apparently a lot of fucksticks around here put their house on the market just to feel things out or to extend their exposure or whatever the fuck. First house I bid on, seller has a condition that is whether...
