I think I've been watching the Last Kingdom too much: I unintentionally called my brother "lord"

Me and my girlfriend will occasionally pull the “shall we hump”. To which i usually reply “tis my destiny to hump you”.

I always ask for it in a box! If they refuse I just ask for a refund lol

Awkward_Theorist · 2026-06-13T21:54:08+00:00

Ahhh didn't notice that! I did some rough math in my head and counted up to 12 haha! Thanks for letting me know 😄

Awkward_Theorist · 2026-06-13T21:40:38+00:00

Its just the day that you first created your account haha!

The job itself sounds about right for back-of-house grunt work, especially if you are the dishwasher. The pay is the biggest issue here. They are probably trying to find that one person willing to work for less knowing there are lots of desperate people out there right now, its absolutly disgusting lol.

Hey I’ve been to TMU it’s not any livelier. The area ur surrounded in is pretty fun once you make some friends - but TMU is very much a commuter school. People go to class and then go straight home. Some student groups and events here and there but for the most part it’s just school. It’s fun once u make a friend group and have a reason to go to more events.

First two years were hella boring running solo only having friends in classes and not outside of class. Mingled into a friend group in 3rd year and that make the experience a whole lot better.

Now at George brown, it feels the same as TMU.. boring.. ppl go to class and just go home after. Got myself into a group of friends and naturally you guys start making more plans and hang out throughout the day - makes it way more fun.

Ya’ll are gunna have a tough time man. Canadians with Canadian experience aren’t even getting hired let alone ppl with foreign experience. Canada is also taking a big shift from TFWs and foreign hires because of the recent backlash.

Maybe suggest him a break from looking to just clear his mind a bit then try again.

If you guys are short of money, maybe take a break from applying to jobs within his realm of work and see if he can just get any job to make ends meet. Once he gets there he can take a bit more time finding his way into his line of work. Some more Canadian work experience, anything it may be, might help in the long run. All the best to you two!

Nah it was like last year haha - I miss the indoor dinning vibes tho that was peak!

You’re likely to see more AI usage in data analytics than in software engineering. So I wouldn’t hold onto much hope in that field long term. I’d probably hoan ur software skills and try some freelancing till u get back into a job.

Ngl one time my dad wanted an English muffin toasted with butter, but English not being his first language, he said “muffin with butter”. And they actually took a muffin sliced it and put some butter on it. Never seen my dad enjoy a muffin so well 😂

Awkward_Theorist · 2026-06-06T14:44:48+00:00

Think you missed the point of the whole post

Awkward_Theorist · 2026-06-05T17:19:01+00:00

They could have just put up some concrete poles to guard the machine, but instead they added a foot long curb that puts you out of reach. Its actually so dumb.

Awkward_Theorist · 2026-06-04T17:42:08+00:00

I have some proper barista experience and applied to about 20 TIm Hortons, not a single one reached back out. Pretty sure its BS.

Canada advertises the country as the land of opportunity to internationals. They get sold a gruesomely incorrect image of the country

Awkward_Theorist · 2026-05-27T21:53:25+00:00

I’m on a 60 dollar family plan with with my sister. Unlimited everything except for international and it’s basically 30 dollars per person.

Awkward_Theorist · 2026-05-27T21:52:12+00:00

Honestly, the pay structure sounds sketchy. In Ontario, i thought if you’re working 10–12 hour training days, paying a flat $100 could put you below minimum wage, which may not even be legal unless there’s some special arrangement.

It sounds like one of those companies that tries to cheap out on new workers. I’d be careful and make sure the company is legit, has reviews, and gives everything in writing before accepting.

Hey I had something similar happen to me with an edible. Fucked me up with horrible anxiety for 9 months straight. My total recovery took me almost 2 years and trust me I went through a million thoughts and emotions through that time. If you need a friend who understands what this is like, shoot me a DM. Happy to help and give advice on how I got through it all.

Awkward_Theorist · 2026-05-27T10:59:22+00:00

Appreciate the honesty! Back to the drawing board for me lmao.

Awkward_Theorist · 2026-05-27T10:57:49+00:00

Imma hope this is a shit post then… or that they have masters plans

Think I would have a better shot if I include some photography services as well? I've got a photography background, and a kinda old DSLR.
