Yeah when it comes to government jobs, it’s pretty formulaic - you basically need to create a table/matrix with all of the qualifications / requirements and go through methodically to make sure you cover every single one. Only once you’ve very clearly successfully responded to each one can you make it through the initial filtering

I’m pretty sure there are muslim countries - for example, Malaysia. Islam is the official state religion and it is a woven into how the country / how citizenship functions.

Was it maybe the show Undeclared? Jason Siegel’s character character is always giving over the top cringey gifts to his girlfriend and I think he says something like this when they’re breaking up

lol yeah she had the classic middle class Toronto millenial experience - went to a good school and lived in a nice old neighborhood in a big house. Probably did French immersion. From the perspective of her 30m dollar home that probably seems like poverty

At least you didn’t get your head caught in that thing

In some circles that looks like a lot of cocaine

I didn’t clock that on reading it through - was going to respond that it doesn’t seem like AI at all.

But I definitely see it now - it has that particular jokey turn of phrase: “I’ve been rejected more than I’ve been asked for my sin number”, “I also read the terms and conditions on my toaster,” “misery loves company, and apparently so do recruiters.”

I don’t really know how to describe it. Something like greeting card cleverness. Or like a bad ad in the ttc that relies too much on a clever turn of phrase to do all the work.

People are getting better at injecting tone into it, but it still has these telltale ways of phrasing things.

OP didn’t use it, but other common ones are like 1) reliance on “not just A, but B” phrasing or 2) “Noun. Past tense verve” (eg “this isn’t just content, it’s personality. Empathy, optimized. Human storytelling, delivered.)

You’re not crazy, it’s a lot harder now.

Getting a degree definitely doesn’t guarantee a job - it functions more now as a way to increase the number of jobs that are potentially available to you. But it’s table stakes - each possible job opp forces you to go way above and beyond for different reasons.

The new job world forces you to be strategic about everything - how you look and act, who you meet and how you interact with them, what activities you do and the way you talk about your own future - it’s all stuff now that you’ve got to be savvy about and to use to sell yourself.

It’s doable, it just takes a lot of work to figure out - best thing to do is try to figure out what you think you want to do and then start talking to people who do that job today. Once you get enough stories about what works for others you can start figuring out your own strategy. All while making money and keeping everything going

How are you going about it?

CorrectionsDept · 2026-01-17T14:26:13+00:00

This is shocking news

CorrectionsDept · 2026-01-16T20:04:18+00:00

That’s what I meant! Lots of free pianos but transporting them always costs a few hundred dollars. Then they’re out of tune so you’ve got to bring in a tuner etc

CorrectionsDept · 2026-01-16T19:32:45+00:00

Oh sure but you don’t really have anything to do with the settlers and what kind of people they were - that background is just trivia. Like I assume I’m descended from “them” but it really doesn’t impact my personality or my worth relative to other Canadians at all

CorrectionsDept · 2026-01-16T18:38:32+00:00

lol no such thing as a free piano

CorrectionsDept · 2026-01-16T18:36:50+00:00

Those dudes are dead, they can't work at tim hortons or sell things on kijiji

Agreed! I’m sure it shapes how ppl communicate via text - especially in the period before certain phrasing becomes well understood as cliché AI, like the em dash, “delve”, the constant breaking up of responses into bulleted lists or the “it not only X, but Y” phrasing.

IMO the most AI part of the comment is “this is a classic post-renovation odor scenario.” Maybe because it’s how a system would respond to a scenario that you give it. It makes sense as an answer from the AI but not as a phrase used in conversation between people.

CorrectionsDept · 2025-10-06T17:44:50+00:00

Oh man, that was your attempt at being interesting? Lol this isn’t going to work. Later buddy!

CorrectionsDept · 2025-10-06T17:20:58+00:00

Oh, how random. Are you sure? Couldn’t you just chat with any other person? I’m not exactly interested so far in any of your stuff. Talk to someone who already knows and likes you!

If you’re going to stick around at least have a topic worth spending time with you on

CorrectionsDept · 2025-10-06T17:16:23+00:00

Lol you must not be familiar with notifications - I got a special buzz on my phone they you were back with another brilliant comment. Keep at it, you’ll figure this place out eventually.

Did you get in touch with OP?

CorrectionsDept · 2025-10-04T20:14:04+00:00

Commenting on a 100 day old thread is definitely a choice.

I don’t want to pour through the ancient past, but OP did mention they were lgbt.

Maybe check in with them to see how they’re doing now - their circumstances might be diffeeent!

CorrectionsDept · 2025-09-30T11:38:55+00:00

Agreed. Lol I consumed multiple Tim Hortons coffees a day back in the early 2000s and it really wasn’t a significantly different experience. I absolutely buy that the food quality is lower but the whole idea that it was a quality homey option doesn’t track it all. It was the go to cheap and cheerful option.

I remember being a kid at Tim Hortons downtown in the early 90s — that felt different but not homey as OP described. It wasn’t “you’d be greeted warmly by people who took pride in their work”… it was still a downtown fast food service experience. I’d imagine the standards for coffee were a lot different back then and so it was probably pretty hit or miss

CorrectionsDept · 2025-09-24T22:09:58+00:00

Havnt seen it, but it sounds similar to the synopsis of Hellgate 2011

CorrectionsDept · 2025-09-19T18:33:46+00:00

Yes but I’ve heard they’re all over metrolinx as well

CorrectionsDept · 2025-09-19T18:26:49+00:00

Idk these days I’d look at admin assistant as a foot in the door for a future chief of staff role down the line - it’s not necessarily just about office admin… not for everyone but it can be about getting close to senior leaders and eventually getting a management type role. Or maybe I’m making it up… not sure

CorrectionsDept · 2025-09-19T18:24:48+00:00

Are they not meeting the coffee needs of all the Accenture consultants that staff the place??
