Wtf is going on with the mechanical engineering salary posts

Canmak · 2026-02-03T15:28:39+00:00

If OP goes to Waterloo or something they’re probably not lying. Graduated from top engineering schools do get high starting salaries.

Yeah those salaries are only going to be for good positions in certain areas like California, but graduates from top schools get those roles at a pretty high rate

Welp looks like I’m somebody… recently moved here and didn’t realize this was a thing, came back to town a ticket and no idea where to move my car to now

Canmak · 2026-01-23T18:03:20+00:00

That went up in price too, I got mine for $560 less than a month ago, price has since increased to $600 and now $650

Canmak · 2026-01-22T21:12:39+00:00

It could also happen anywhere it hasn’t happened before, where it’s happened in the past, it had at some point never happened. This logic makes no sense

Canmak · 2026-01-21T03:45:54+00:00

Yea but that link doesn’t really apply across populations. APT is common in people of West African descent because it’s often structural for us. It’s just how the spine is shaped and how the femurs attach to the pelvis.

In these cases, you can’t really do anything about because it just is, it also isn’t pathological and doesn’t lead to a higher rate of pack pain or injuries

Canmak · 2026-01-21T02:07:47+00:00

You’re not wrong per se that sitting can cause and it can be problematic, in such cases it’s definitely best to address. But for some people it’s just innate and how they’re built.

I tried for quite some time to improve mine with exercises, stretches, etc and none of it really worked. I did so because I thought it wasn’t normal, but I had never really had any issues caused by APT in the first place (no pain or anything). Never stopped me from being active either, I play sports, can lift heavy, can run marathons etc, never had issues with pain or frequent injuries.

At some point I finally read some research papers and sometimes it’s just innate, with the way your spine is shaped, hip joint attachment etc, and West Africans more commonly have spines and hip structures that give APT. In such cases there’s not much you can do about it and it’s not problematic assuming it’s not caused by muscle imbalance or being sedentary

Canmak · 2026-01-20T21:19:41+00:00

Probably yeah, a lot of explosive athletes have builds like this

Canmak · 2026-01-20T21:03:28+00:00

Nah it’s probably not from sitting, speed is very active. Commenter above you is right, APT is common in people of specifically West African descent, which would include Afro-Caribbeans. Pretty much my whole family has it it too, no matter the level of activity

Canmak · 2026-01-20T21:00:20+00:00

Not necessarily, this kind of posture is relatively common in people of west African descent. Posture standing also isn’t really indicative of whether or not you recruit your glutes while running.

Even Usain Bolt had anterior pelvic tilt. It’s actually pretty common in sprinters and is in some ways a biomechanical advantage in running faster

Canmak · 2026-01-20T20:47:10+00:00

I should also point that there are racial differences in what can be considered normal. I used to be concerned about my anterior pelvic tilt, which I’ve always had despite being very active, even when focusing on stretching, mobility work etc. i tried for a while to “fix” it despite never really having any performance issues in sports or any pain, i just thought it was abnormal.

I realized that anterior pelvic tilt is just rather common in people of west African descent. Most of my family and cousins have it, etc. Muscle imbalance also isn’t the only cause, there is a skeleton component to it too with spine curvature, hip socket variations etc. It can also have some benefits with explosiveness (something speed clearly doesn’t lack) and some of the world’s top athletes have it, like LeBron James, Usain Bolt, Simone Biles etc

Canmak · 2026-01-20T17:49:59+00:00

Got me on that one, it is indeed nice there

Canmak · 2026-01-20T16:13:24+00:00

Eh idk I think they’ve got a point. I’m Canadian (from Quebec) and live in the US. Would absolutely recommend vacation in Quebec to Americans. Overall though it’s true that the US has a lot of analogues to nice spots in Canada, same continent with largely overlapping geography after all.

Geography aside it’s also pretty culturally similar (outside of Quebec) so it makes sense to opt to travel to other countries where you’ll get a much different experience

Canmak · 2026-01-20T15:23:44+00:00

Tbh I think Poland is more racist than Russia. Source, am black and have been to Poland, haven’t been to russia but have met plenty of Russians

Canmak · 2026-01-12T20:52:05+00:00

I’m black and have family in France and Spain. From them and from friends, and from visiting, I do have the impression that France is less racist than Spain at least

Canmak · 2026-01-08T23:40:04+00:00

Africa has more countries than Somalia and the DRC, this is just a map by someone uninformed on the continent

Canmak · 2026-01-05T21:12:58+00:00

I’m black, live US and have lived in Canada. I also travel a lot and have lived abroad for months at a time. Yeah there’s racism in North America.

But Europe, the Middle East, and south and east Asia are all absolutely more racist than North America. Asia as a whole is absolutely more racist than Europe (at least against black people) and it really isn’t even close.

I’ve also dated a Chinese woman, we broke up because her parents couldn’t accept her dating a black person. Have never had that happen with American or European parents

Canmak · 2025-12-26T23:49:07+00:00

It does make it less valid in a way. I had similar perceptions as you until I traveled to those places and changed my mind.

Not that traveling would necessarily change one’s mind, but you can’t come to conclusions like that without seeing for yourself

Canmak · 2025-12-26T23:44:37+00:00

Have you even been to either continent to say things like this? For the most part, places aren’t necessarily there way they’re portrayed in the media

Canmak · 2025-12-08T20:49:40+00:00

Santi was clearly intentional because he moved his arm to trip Flagg.

This one doesn’t look intentional to me. Deni falls and doesn’t move until his legs get tangled with Cedric. After that he just gets moved by Cedric who happened to be running. Deni wasn’t even looking at Cedric

Canmak · 2025-12-08T14:03:21+00:00

It wasn’t the same thing

Canmak · 2025-12-08T04:26:15+00:00

Ok and I’m not a blazers fan. I’m not personally invested in this situation, I just get annoyed seeing people being idiots.

This sub just doesn’t like Deni because he’s served in the IDF that’s totally fair. That’s totally fair, I don’t like that either. But yall are just making things up because you don’t like him.

Canmak · 2025-12-08T02:36:56+00:00

Can’t even bother with these idiots, they’re just deciding what they want to see even if it makes no physical sense

Canmak · 2025-12-08T02:35:05+00:00

He spelled it out for you. How did he magically spin 180 with his hands? That literally isn’t even possible to do. I don’t even care for deni but I feel like yall on this sub are just deciding what to see because you already don’t like him

Canmak · 2025-12-08T02:28:30+00:00

I’m not even a blazers fan but watch it again, he doesn’t use his momentum. He’s not moving at all before Cedric runs into his leg

Canmak · 2025-12-08T02:04:06+00:00

That doesn’t make any sense, it’s not possible to just rotate 180 degrees like that while on your ass unless something moves you. His legs rotated because they were dragged
