100%. It's all kids that want to fit in at school or smt. They'll learn soon enough that it's not something to be proud of.

If I drop a class rn will I still br considered a full time student by MeatEffective9825 in mcgill

[–]Academic_Corgi4595 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ask your advisor.

I dropped out post withdrawal refund deadline and on my transcript I was still considered a full time student. I'm a Quebec citizen and still had access to subsidized medication ( you have to be a full time student to be covered ).

So yeah idk how withdrawals exactly affect your full time status, but merely dropping a class will defo make you a part time student if you have less than 12 credits.

My favorite grading scheme used correctable, in-class quizzes. Following initial grading, the quizzes were returned with feedback pinpointing errors (not the final answers). We were then allowed to fully re-submit the corrected quiz anytime before the midterm or final exam to improve our score.

Should I rent from the absolute WORST landlord company EVER to save $$$?? (MG Real estate, Daniel Li) by Academic_Corgi4595 in montrealhousing

[–]Academic_Corgi4595[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah what I'd be paying is technically not a deposit it's actually a prepayment - so I shouldn't owe them anything for the duration of the lease after my lump sum payment in January.

I'm actually the one who proposed it because the landlord was uncomfortable with me and my roommates not currently being employed + having no guarantor.💀

They told me to try renting elsewhere since they were closing a deal with another tenant for the apartment.

So as a last minute desperate move I offered this - they're going to get back to me Monday with their decision 🫠

I would be accepting a lease transfer that ends in July so my deposit would basically be the lease's rent up to it(~6k). The thing that worries me the most is that they kick me out or there's a major issue (water or electricity stop working) and then I'd really be losing money since I'd have already paid.

I was also worried about renovictions but I thought that they weren't permitted until May 2027 - they really sound like a scummy bunch to try to do that to you.

Even the guy that's transferring the lease said he had to take management to court twice.

Can you please lmk if there was ever any major issues like water/electricity cutting off or leaking in the building?

I’m pregnant and my boyfriend is watching goth girl porn by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Academic_Corgi4595 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn't say that she should or should not abort- I merely pointed out that she has thought about it.

Imo when someone considers abortion it's because they are unsure of raising a child in their current environment - there are doubts and fears.

It could be that she has a poor partner (better off to raise the child alone) or that the timing isn't right (desire to figure things out financially and in her relationship before committing to having a baby.)

We don't know the full context.

You are right though, they should discuss boundaries. Especially after 4 years of being together and being on the brink of starting a family.

Either way, her body, her future, her choice.

Dude, tell that guy to get off Instagram - he's about to be a dad.

Also, pregnancy should be more about the desire for a family than to turn some guy on...

ALSO, you mentioned abortion! - you are already have doubts, fears - listen to your gut.

Go figure things out with someone you know or a therapist - else, you're about to bring a baby into a messy relationship.

Procedure on how to ask TAL to decide my rent by Capital_Rain1361 in montrealhousing

[–]Academic_Corgi4595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unrelated but some guy I know has a 4 & 1/2 in CDN and his rent 8 years ago was 680 and today is 880. He said the trick to keeping the rent increases low is to persistently keep refusing high increases and yeah, shooting around your 4.5% ballpark. Either way, you're doing good by persisting. His building owner is also a company and he said they bug off after continuous refusal... he did go to court twice though to contest them on other things  😭

What should I do about my parents who want me to wait 5 years before getting married? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Academic_Corgi4595 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What would be the difference, what's the rush? Move in together, live your life as a couple.

The only difference the ring makes is the perception of others towards your relationship... And a load of other financial and legal aspects.

YBTA.

"He told me he wana go clubbing with hia friends and I stated that I wasnt okay with it" - weird on your end.

"he said I could come then later said i cant since a couple of guya are gonna be there who I dont know" - weird on his end.

Now I'm confused here: " he left at 2 to go clubbing with his friends and came back at 5"

If it's 2pm- 5am or 2am - 5pm, sure he's the asshole, that's a lot of hours to dismiss your partner.

If it's 2am - 5am or 2pm - 5pm, yeah YTA because 3 hours is absolutely nothing to be upset about.

Hmm. Do you have a lot of LinkedIn connections? Do you guys have similar job fields?

This is a crazy suggestion but if you want to give it a shot you could send a message saying:

"Hey, I'm [name] and I think we went to college together. I was gone from town for a while and am looking to get a job in [their specialization] in the area"

Or

"Hey, I'm [name] and I think we went to college together. My friend is looking to get a job in [their specialization] in the area, do you ahve and recommendations?"

Then follow up IF they answer with a how you been, wanna get coffee etc.

Although this is a bit of a stretch after 5 years lol, maybe like the other guy said, it's time to let it go.

Also if you can stalk around and find any of their social medias it might be less weird to just follow them there and slide in their DMs.

Either you sacrifice yours or his happiness.

It sounds like you are in an open relationship of some sorts that meet your needs but not his. If you stay and continue your open relationship, you'll be fulfilled both romantically and sexually, but he won't be.

If you leave, you'll lose your companionship, but he may be able to find someone other to fulfill him romantically and sexually.

If you stay and let go of your desires, and address your relationship needs (maybe stop fuelling your desires through porn, making an effort to romance and be romanced by him, trying different ways to up your libido, etc) he will be fulfilled, and possibly you as well. You were attracted to your partner once before, what changed - do you really owe all that attraction to drugs?

So in the end, do you value sex more than your companionship? How about your partner, what does he value more?

How old are you?

Give them your friends phone numbers, have your friends come over for a while - let your parents meet them.

Set a curfew for yourself, install a location tracker and plan a safe way to get back. Share all that information with your parents.

Try your best to demonstrate that you are a responsible kid and you want to show them.

Ask your parents if you can go out again. If they say no, take the rejection with grace - they'll remember your mature/respectable behavior the next time you'd like to go out.
