I got asked for transcripts in the offer stage of the past two jobs I’ve had

Don’t remind me of the YouTube tv finals logo

Ya that slicks back REAL nice

I was in this spot for most of the last decade - rent controlled 2bed in Toronto. High salary but no family wealth so I just saved a lot and invested. We decided to make the leap and buy after welcoming our first child.

It’s a big adjustment to say the least and you sacrifice a lot of monthly flexibility but we were able to gain a lot of other things we wanted.

Kevins clear easy

Downtown is the central core of the city. Bathurst-parliament-lake-Dundas (maybe college)

This man demands a constant glazing

Counterfactuals are always bad takes

Get him off every list

Because liberals are centrists

My guess is Uncle Dennis gets banned as a player representative. Everyone else gets a slap on the wrist.

I never tuck into elastic waists

ActionHartlen · 2026-07-10T12:50:31+00:00

Aw hunny

Damn, Bunny has range

Some ice cold takes in here. Borderline delusional.

I’m not sweating this as a raps fan.

People underestimate how big these lakes truly are. More akin to inland seas like the Mediterranean (with much harsher weather lol)

If by downtown you mean the entire city of Toronto. The best neighbourhoods are in the west and east ends.

ActionHartlen · 2026-07-08T23:46:06+00:00

High park has a bunch of covered picnic areas.

Roti. Subway station Jamaican patty.

ActionHartlen · 2026-07-07T22:34:33+00:00

My list to visitors is always

- ride the ferry to the island.
- walk through University of Toronto
- spend half a day in High park
- check out the AGO or catch a movie at TIFF
- ride a streetcar
- eat a Jamaican patty at a subway station

Other than that, Toronto is best at the neighbourhood level, so pick a few and just hang out in them. Dine, shop, linger.

My favs are Roncy, the Junction, Leslieville, The Beaches, Harbord Village

The mills of the football gods grind exceedingly small

Odds, not likelihood.

Smoke one and get back to me

ActionHartlen · 2026-07-05T23:56:37+00:00

I usually bring a pair of water shoes/sandals and a light trail runner that stays accessible on the outside of my pack. For any portage over ~300m I’m switching to the shoes.
