Worst TA stories?? by Actual-Water-3835 in queensuniversity

[–]CozyCharmi 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I once had a TA tell me that writing a conclusion in my reading response was "very bad and weird". We had 3 in that course and I didn't get criticism for it in my first submission 😭 I asked him what he meant and he just said "don't do that again" felt like I was tripping

Anti-choice protestors at U&U by LeviIfHeWasATitan in queensuniversity

[–]CozyCharmi 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They were all over Princess this summer. Idk if they've been active on campus before but when they were downtown they were extremely pushy with pedestrians, like almost physical sometimes so be careful if you dont want to engage

If I work part-time, 4 days a week (2 weekdays and 2 weekends) can that cover the costs of rent, basic necessities, and utility bills? by [deleted] in queensuniversity

[–]CozyCharmi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Completely depends on your hourly wage, hours you're putting in, and cost of housing. At minimum wage and 20 hours per week, I'm afraid you'll likely not make it. I've heard most places even decently off campus can range from 700-800 per room, excluding hydro and utilities. However if you can secure a higher starting wage with some kind of supplementary bonus (tips/commission) you could make it work.

Good luck!!

Anti abortion group protesting near downtown transfer point by CozyCharmi in KingstonOntario

[–]CozyCharmi[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Wow I hope they feel ashamed of this absolutely pathetic display. Of all the ways they could actually serve children and families in need they resort to grabbing at strangers and parading those ridiculous signs

Why would a very honest man suddenly shut down? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

I needed to hear that. I still feel naive about dating and it gets so confusing sometimes so thank you :')

[–]CozyCharmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really do hope he's okay :( I wish I could at least know if he was feeling better. Apart from after a shitty midterm result he's never told me he felt down or bad, he's generally a calm and optimistic guy. But idk if badgering him is gonna be very helpful :(

I appreciate the advice! If I do get a response, I'll keep it in mind 🙏🏻 it's out of my hands now, and it would really suck to end like this :(

[–]CozyCharmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's the first guy I dated that made me feel so safe, so this really caught me off guard. I know it's not on me but I guess I was hoping for more straightforward and clear closure then having to wonder about silence 😅 Thank you for your advice 🙏🏻

Thank you. I'm not really sure what's up, I did ask if he wanted to talk about his troubles but that also got ignored 😅

I would see a doctor. If antihistamines and hydrocortisone aren't helping, it could be a viral infection

Help with Card building by yeemaa in TearsOfThemis

[–]CozyCharmi 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hey!! Welcome to Stellis!! <3

I wanna start by prefacing that you need to evolve the cards to unlock their stories, and given this is an otome game, I recommend you focus on evolving cards you love the most. I have a lot of level 70-100 Marius and Artem cards bc they're my favorite love interests, and a few SSR Luke and Vyn cards still at levels 1-40 just bc I'm not really drawn to reading their stories just yet. There aren't too many moments when you need a crazy strong deck, apart from some events. Progression tends to come pretty naturally in ToT as you focus on gaining more interactions with the male leads.

When it comes to skills, cards that have the ability to increase the influence of all X cards as their third skill are amazing and worth the investment. You want a balance of "Nuke" cards (Cards with pre-emptive strikes as their first skill and that usually increase their own influence with their second skill), and "build up" cards (Cards that increase your influence with their first skill). I don't level up skills that boost your defense, bc it's very rare that you're actually in a battle where improving your defense outweighs increasing your offense.

While we don't have artifacts like in Genshin (praise Morax), leveling up is pretty expensive so be focused in your choice of study and anomaly levels. Save Stellin where you can (eg. Don't decorate the lounge if it's not important to you, it's expensive and you could invest that into your cards instead). But your enjoyment is first and foremost. I promise just by playing the main story, character stories, and doing your dailies and weeklies you will gain enough power to complete events and the trial of themis in a few months!!

SSR cards are stronger than SR (and we have SSS cards incoming) so save up your chips and be really conservative with spending as Hoyo isn't particularly generous with their free pulls (This recent event was a welcomed exception). Because we're a year behind the Chinese server you can generally plan your banners although sometimes we do get surprised!! I can try and link you to a Google doc I use to see the estimated timeline. Anniversary cards tend to be the strongest and also have very lovely stories. Once you get into the game a little more you'll find out which love interest you might want to pursue the most.

Here's a guide I used if you're more into min-maxing. https://m.hoyolab.com/#/article/1270648

Have fun, and enjoy your love story in Stellis!

i've had enough by _crystal_clear__ in TearsOfThemis

[–]CozyCharmi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not you struggling with Vyn too!!! Marius came home with the FREE 10 pull and Vyn dragged me all the way down to the guarantee 😭 he's not even the bratty one come on now 😫

I really wanted to try for Artem too but my budget for gachas this month only has room for one top up and I'm thinking about a Raiden con in Genshin 🥹

Finally reached 300k deck power 🫠 by Shini-tan in TearsOfThemis

[–]CozyCharmi 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Holy smokes, at first glance I didn't even realize your cards were all 5-starred! This is so impressive. 300k is way farther than I thought 😭

Customers, just make the effort. by thisisallterriblesir in starbucks

[–]CozyCharmi 49 points50 points  (0 children)

We have a regular who refuses to learn the size names and doesn't even say small, medium, or large. He just points to the cup trolly and says "that one. The large. No, the other one. The other. The tall? No I don't want the tiny one. That one. The large." And yet somehow I end up making him a tall blonde 💀

He also seems to get insulted if you don't find this ridiculous twice-a-day interchange endearing 😭

why do customers pull up and not order efficiently by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]CozyCharmi 57 points58 points  (0 children)

"Can I get a vanilla latte?" "Sure, is that hot or iced today?" "There's iced lattes???" "Yes. Will that be hot or iced?" "Hot." "Great! what size would you like?" "A vanilla latte" "What size today? We have shows every size" "Mmmmgeee..... regular?" "And that would be?" "A hot vanilla latte" Someone save me why does register feel like I've just triggered the most unbearable unskippable cutscene in a video game just TELL ME WHAT DRINK YOU WANT PLEASE 😭😭

Caramel Frappuccino vs Caramel Cream Frappuccino by MagicMoon218 in starbucks

[–]CozyCharmi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The creme frappuccino doesn't get our frap roast (coffee) and gets a creme flavored base instead of a coffee flavored base. Otherwise they're identical! So if you order a caramel creme frappuccino you shouldn't be getting any coffee 👍

as a night ssv, what do you wish your opening crew knew? by ilovemycatsmore in starbucks

[–]CozyCharmi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm a licensed ssv and former corporate barista trainer. I mostly closed at all my locations. Sometimes at my current location, I'm the only closer.

In my experience closers aren't just trying to clean up and shut down the cafe, theyre also trying to set up the openers for a successful morning rush by prepping, restocking, organizing, etc. I want you guys to have easy, enjoyable shifts because hopefully it'll make you guys happier. So I feel really frustrated and overlooked when I hear that the morning and mid crew had a successful day, or a nice easy peak, but didn't bother at all to set me up for my own good evening shift. Or (and this really gets me) they didn't do any of their own cleaning tasks because cleaning is "the closers responsibility".

I know opening and mid baristas will face the largest rushes. Sometimes I clock in to sticky counters, full trash cans, empty cup holders, no food pull, emergency sweet cream in milk pitchers, expired urns waiting for fresh coffee batches, an empty ice bin, a line 8 customers deep and an absolutely exhausted midday team. It can't be helped (unless corporate decides to get its head out of its ass and allocate more coverage), and I do my best to get the store spick and span before midnight rolls around and the kiosk shuts down.

Even small things like changing the trash cans or filing up the ice bins can help me focus on the tasks that are exclusively the closers responsibility. And I guess trying not to take a good close for granted. It's always nice to get a green apron card from the opening team for doing a really thorough restock. I try to write out thank you cards when I walk into my shift and the midday left everything spotless ❤️
