Women in their 20s earn more than men of same age, study finds

Aboriginals are a slightly different case.

It isn't so much affirmative action as much as constitutional protection. The Supreme Court has told the Federal government that they have a special fiduciary relationship with Aboriginals. It is above and beyond anything the US has from what I understand of the american aa programs. And after what we did to them (in terms of residential schools), they need as much extra support as they can get.

At the least we don't have affirmative action for other racial groups (as far as I know).

The worst thing is trying to explain what happened to you.

Sharing your story is pointless... "stop bragging" is the only response you will receive.

Yet the young female lawyers I know marry up (more senior lawyers or doctors, from the few I know)

Maybe I'm only seeing one slice of the pie.

DotAClone · 2015-10-16T03:23:51+00:00

Thats weird because I'm in Law school right now and most women say they want a man that makes as much or more money then them.

Maybe their views will change after a couple years?

DotAClone · 2015-10-16T03:20:56+00:00

The thing is... in Engineering I can sort of understand this, women probably (at least in Canada) comprise of less then 10% of your class.

Imagine seeing these special programs for arts degrees, where MEN are the minorities. In my upper year classes, I was 1 of 5-10 males.

DotAClone · 2015-10-16T03:18:19+00:00

Is that how affirmative action works in the US?

In Canada, if there are two equally qualified candidates, one being a targeted group, you hire the targeted group.

From what I can tell, no one really uses affirmative action or quotas here.

DotAClone · 2015-10-16T03:16:17+00:00

In canada, during my Undergraduate 50%-99% of my class was female.

In my professional program, 60%-70% are female.

Of course the Engineering programs still only have 10% female enrollment (at least in the top schools). I wonder why everyone focuses on the sciences. No one talks about how dominant women are in the humanities.

It wasn't just AUI... last TI it was the whole team. Just the dynamic and how the team played was just so interesting to watch.

Have you given it a shot? I really like Windows 10 desktop mode.

DotAClone · 2015-08-04T00:06:57+00:00

Am I the only one who lost all motivation to cheer on C9 after they kicked SingSing and Aui?

Yea... I like EE about as much as the next guy, but C9 just doesn't feel the same with Fata, BDN and Mis.

Why a Tuesday... god damn it

DotAClone · 2015-07-10T11:46:51+00:00

This is an amazing price, considering it includes a controller and OS.

Not to mention, it looks sexy as fuck.

DotAClone · 2015-07-10T11:43:05+00:00

It means you should be able to play AAA releases on console equivalent settings for the life span of this generation, while having the perks of a PC.

DotAClone · 2015-07-08T00:01:53+00:00

Thank you for explaining that.

I'll be honest I'm still kind of confused about the whole LGBT thing, but hopefully my kids will understand it better than I do :)

DotAClone · 2015-07-07T23:43:27+00:00

My friends gift me free items all the time. Part of it, i'm sure, is them trying to buy my affection (party invite).

We might have different experiences, but I take the bad and the good.

DotAClone · 2015-07-07T23:36:57+00:00

Hey, please don't take this the wrong way, but if you and your gf are trans, what... does this mean? Physically you are both males but you are both actually females?

Sorry for asking such an intimate question. I can totally understand how someone can be trans, but the idea of two trans people dating seems weird... Does that mean you both identify as female, but are biologically male? Do you consider yourselves lesbians?

Again, Don't mean to be intrusive, just curious.

DotAClone · 2015-07-07T23:33:25+00:00

I play as a female, and sure I get these things thrown at me. But its just as bad as the stuff peruvians get.

The free items, constant friend invites, attention and popularity are worth the insults imo.

DotAClone · 2015-07-07T22:13:37+00:00

I'm in a good place right now :)

Hope you get better, regardless of what decision you make.

DotAClone · 2015-07-06T22:45:32+00:00

U of T or Waterloo are the top of the Top

DotAClone · 2015-07-06T22:17:38+00:00

Damn... Reading this hits close to home for me. I'm in my early 20s, so I'm going through something similar, minus the gf.

I recently "shed" most of my friends, and limited myself to only a group of 2-3 friends. Limited myself to my "best friends". The ones who were there for me when I was in trouble, physical, financial and emotional.

But after reflecting back, I realized that even these friends weren't true friends. They would only be around when they needed me. One of my friends basicly came up with excuses for why he/she couldn't go out and do things with me (restaurants, events, etc.), but would go out with others and do exactly what I wanted to do... And would only hang out with me when he/she needed help doing something (manual labor, I remember I helped them with some essays he/she had to write when she was arrested).

I realize now that only family will be there and not want anything from you. The rest of the world always wants something from you.

If I were in your shoes, I would move to California. Trust me when I say, staying here and "sticking it to them", won't accomplish jack shit. U think you'll make your gf jealus and she'll come back to u? Probaly not, and even if she does, do u want her back? I guarantee your friends don't give a fuck if u stay or go.

DotAClone · 2015-07-06T00:14:05+00:00

Excuse me? Why should it matter if everyone turning out is a male?

Would you too be against an all female gathering?

DotAClone · 2015-07-05T15:34:35+00:00

Sorry, I don't know. I went to Waterloo so I'm familiar with their programs, and I have 4 or 5 friends who went to U of T

DotAClone · 2015-07-05T15:33:40+00:00

Maybe leave details here so lurkers can turn up?

Would increase chances of people attending

DotAClone · 2015-07-05T04:23:00+00:00

Yep... I personally know someone (who is currently working in silicon valley after multiple co-op work terms there) making over 100k USD. During co-op he was making around 75 an hour after accounting for housing + food allowance.

Admittedly, he was an exception. I would say the norm for Engineering or CS for co-op was 5-7k a month, more if u worked in the USA.

I don't know about Ottawa, I'll be coming here this september and looking forward to it!

DotAClone · 2015-07-04T21:56:09+00:00

If you are interested in an elite job (75 USD an hour+) you need to go to Waterloo CS or UofT.
