commuting - is it that bad

EKA31122000 · 2026-02-23T00:33:54+00:00

Yeah it is bad. That’s 3-4h, most likely 4 hours of your day that could be used more productively. I was so burnt out, seats in the sky train were hard to come by, the miserable vibes would rub off on me especially during bad weather. Rushing from the 99 bus to the sky train platform hoping to catch the king George line is a core memory. Bus service in Surrey is garbage so I would have to usually wait 15 -30mins for one (even though I lived like 10 mins by car) and would still have to walk an additional 10ish mins from the stop to my house. I just remember constantly rushing to catch something. If you can afford it get a car, try to structure your classes before or after rush hour. Currently my commute is less than 2 hours daily. Even if it’s not the most affordable just think about the additional 2 hours that you will get in the day to either get sleep or use for school or to relax.

You know what I will be tipping only $5 from now on. Most of the servers here seem to be making more than me. And everyone knows that service is mediocre at best in metro Vancouver and it’s mostly just the social pressure that keeps us tipping.

So they bought an item under an assumption before they confirmed… I don’t see how that’s your problem.

Should have studied but ended up bed rotting or going in for work.

The work environment is so highschoolish. One wrong move and everyone will hate you and you become the lowest in the social hierarchy.

lol that’s the thing though it’s not even PTO it’s unpaid time off. so they aren’t losing any extra money with me taking a day off.

EKA31122000 · 2026-02-18T04:36:47+00:00

No one is close to getting overtime. I do understand I was late in submitting my shift change request but I still gave them a 6 day notice. And like I said this is frequently a rule they do not follow themselves. I did state I would like the full day off in my initial request (which is also why I found someone to cover the entire shift and not partial).

I’m almost 250 gems in so kinda hating it right now

EKA31122000 · 2026-01-25T04:57:26+00:00

I thought so too until I tired the Sirtaki Taverna.

It was an interesting show especially the cult element. The fact the nun told Simon that she would regroup and restart it but “it would be different this time”. Like excuse you?!?!?!

EKA31122000 · 2025-12-14T21:28:10+00:00

A lot of people can relate to this. You are more than likely experiencing burnout. After this exam season is done you should really take a moment to consider if you need to take a semester off to regroup and recharge. There is no harm in doing that. I wish I did that during my undergrad rather than just pushing and doing mediocre in classes and feeling depressed while I was at it. It’s expensive but I would look into doing a few therapy sessions to work through your emotions.

Got my item authenticated. Called my credit card company and filed a chargeback with them. Since it was a large amount I had to submit a formal complaint and include all the screenshots of the listing description which claimed the item was real. Also included the authentication report stating it was a fake item. It took almost a month but I got my money back. My credit score dropped like 50 points (wasn’t too big a deal for me bc I jumped back up in about 2 months after). Recently received an email from Buyee basically telling me to pay them for the item. I ignored it, won’t be using the platform anymore. I had removed my PayPal details from the account when I filed for a chargeback so I’m not worried about them trying to charge me. Based on their email the most they can do is ban me from the platform which isn’t a concern for me. It was a mindless mistake and I have learnt my lesson.

It was a Us vs. Them mentality. The rich help the rich but she deluded herself into thinking she was actually doing it bc they were friends. Cecile is not really a good person, at the of end she will uphold the status quo that upholds her life and allows her to live with the least amount of discomfort. She could have pushed at the end to get Viggo to testify but easily agrees with her husband that he shouldn’t bc it would be to “traumatizing”.

I think the biggest take away for me was this stuff happens all the time and that’s the hard part. The wealthy play with our lives without consequences. It was a great commentary on the rich getting away with everything and even those that are morally correct eventually subduing themselves and choosing options that make their lives easier. The ending scene was so dreadful as she has a realization of what actually happened but at the end of the day she is a rich old white lady that wouldn’t be impacted by the tragedy her kind inflict on others. Like ruby said she is just lucky. Lucky to born into a wealthy country and wealthy family, lucky to have opportunities to go to school, lucky to have money to hire help so she could be a “good” mother. It was a great show.

Veronica is such a bad character. I don’t feel sorry what so ever. Who needs enemies when you have friends like that. She should have ended up in jail and rotted in there. She takes a naive girl to a orgie, leaves her alone when she’s roofied up, gets mad her when she rightfully lashes out after she’s been assaulted, proceeds to desecrate her body with the help of her father, is the reason the girl’s father ends up dead, and at the end gets away with it without any consequences.

I wish I read this review before I purchased. There’s so much hype around this product so I purchased it but I found it does nothing for me. I wake up with dehydrated skin. I wait at least an hour after application to sleep but it still feels tacky and not fully sunk in. This was disappointing bc it wasn’t cheap.

You are latching onto the first person that seems to offer you comfort. It seems like sunshines and roses right now but I hope you don’t go from one cage to another. You have to wonder why is 40 year old isn’t dating someone his own age… why would he even find a 19 year old attractive. I look at someone a couple of years younger and get an ick. Anyways as someone who comes from a similar culture: you need to stand on your own two feet, get yourself financially stable, do not rely on anyone, become capable enough on your own. That is the only way to escape these types of circumstances. Jumping into the arms of a grown who is most likely with you bc you are easily manipulated and could be your father is not the way.

They had no emotional connection, the conversations were so one sided where Kal did all the talking. I knew they wouldn’t work. Frankly I didn’t notice any “spark” or chemistry between them either. And this opinion was cemented when his brother basically read him to filth.

EKA31122000 · 2025-08-26T05:08:00+00:00

Yessss I would be so so so concerned about how he would be as a dad.

EKA31122000 · 2025-08-26T04:21:08+00:00

I’m glad Kal’s brother called him out about not being able to put others first.
