Hello, as the title says I’m looking for a queer friendly nail salon for me and my partner. We are both pretty masculine, but on occasion we like to feel pretty and cute together ^_^ I would love to have a manicure date together where we can both feel welcomed and pampered, if anyone has any suggestions! :)

Edit: I should have specified that we are Butch lesbians haha! But I hope any guys that want their nails done can find recs in the comments :)

I can always get them printed out and paste them on my wall but still, if there is a specific store for it, I would love to browse through it. Thanks in advance 😊

The title is pretty obvious lol. I’ve been having a massive craving for ceviche lately but I want to get my moneys worth. The bigger the portion and the fresher the ingredients the better! Anyone have a spot they love?

Hi everyone

I have been working on an idea for past few months.

It's a casual outdoor fitness meetup where teams of two compete in series of fitness inspired challenges.

The goal isn't just find the fittest but meet new people, experience teamwork while enjoying sun with sweating outdoor.

You don't need to be athlete or need a team. We will pair up at the event.

Please let me know if you guys would be interested in something like this, and i will share details of first event.

Yesterday, I was having a day... Not bad but extremely busy and frustrating. I stopped for gas at the Shell on 41st and I didn't have my scene card. You scanned your scene card and gave me a Snickers bar.

I thanked you at the time, but at 11 pm when I still hasn't eaten lunch or supper I found the snickers in my bag. It was awesome.

I appreciate you and hope you have a wonderful weekend.

This feels like such a non-post but I genuinely wonder how other people would handle this. I moved into an apartment 18 months ago and in that time have had upwards of 30 packages delivered for the previous tenant.

There was one spell where about 10 got delivered in a week that weighed over 40lb total and I helped the concierge take them down to storage so the ex-tenant could retrieve them. When this initially happened I e-mailed our landlord/agency to inform them and they contacted her to ask her to change address etc.

This has continued over this time and I have returned about 20+ to FedEx/Canada Post/Purolator etc over the last year. The concierge unbeknownst to me has also been returning some I believe and I also think maybe keeping them for her so she can collect them during this time.

Recently there was a package that from the outside appeared to probably be worth a reasonable ammount. This was returned via FedEx just yesterday. The ex-tenant had contacted the concierge yesterday to ask if we could return it to her/she could collect it and we explained it had been returned to sender. I e-mailed the agency again to ask if this could be relayed to her and this really had to stop as there had now been about 4-5 emails to them about this ongoing pattern.

Then this morning I get a call from our concierge to say VPD has been here to try and get the package! I was genuinely dumbfounded as to 1) why someone would be this entitled and 2) why the VPD would bother with something so trivial. Fortunately the concierge very much corroborated this story of repeated behaviour and they apparently said that sounds like reasonable behaviour on my end and that was it.

I am going to email the agency and strata again but am sort of wondering if I should contact VPD or get some legal advice to send her a letter re: harassment.

It just feels so ridiculous and I know it is very much first world problems and trivial but it is quite unsettling when the police show up.

Any advice?

Hello NiceVancouver community!

Your mod team needs some help.

We get a fair number of requests to share surveys with you. Some of these are academic surveys, some are entrepreneurs collecting info about possible business ideas, some are students doing projects for courses.

So far, we generally have not been approving the requests.

But our goal is to provide a free and open Vancouver community discussion that is as nice as possible. Ideally, this means minimal moderator intervention.

So we wanted to put it to the community for a poll. Feel free to add comments and thoughts below.

Here's the question we are trying to answer:

Regarding survey and research requests that follow our existing rules (eg: relevant to YVR, meet our standard to be nice, etc) what should our approach be?

I've been looking everywhere for a mexico jersey for male, any chance anyone has one spare that is looking to sell?

Won't be able to make it, there's two orders of an brine wants it

My partner and I will be moving out of our current place in a couple of months, but we will not be moving in to a new place for a few months. Instead, we plan to travel for a few months and stay with friends when we return until we find a suitable place to move into.

Our plan has been to move all of our stuff into storage, and then move it again once we find a place to live. This essentially means moving twice. And idea that has come up is using one of those container storage services where they drop off a container on your street, you pack it up, and then they take it away to storage and/or your new place once you're ready to move in.

Can anyone recommend one of these places that they have personally used? What was your experience like?

All suggestions or warnings welcome!

Hi everyone, I want to share something I experienced last night.

I was near Joyce-Collingwood station when I was approached by a 15-year-old girl at around 10 pm. She asked me to sit with her because she was being followed; I made sure she got home safe. I was kind of taken aback, so I didn't think to ask her many questions, but she was crying and visibly terrified. I wish I could have asked more questions or given her better support in the moment, so this is lesson for me to be more diligent when someone is seeking help. As a fellow woman, I am so angry that someone could make a young girl like that so terrified for her safety.

I want to encourage anyone who experience sketchy moments like that to call the non-emergency line and file a report! At least that way, if any patterns emerge, there will be documentation of it.

Be safe out there, friends 🩷

EDIT TO ADD: As some commenters have pointed out, absolutely call 911 if your safety is being threatened. My intention behind recommending to call the non-emergency line is if police weren't initially involved and you arrive at safety, a report should still be filed.

Hi I work for a French company where all my colleagues speak their native language. I have very little idea what is happening the vast majority of the time. I have some basic highschool training and am looking for a tailored approach to learning conversational French as quickly as possible. Any suggestions?
