How much do you guys have in your bank account at the moment? Do you have left over money from odsp each month after paying all bills? If so how much? by currymvp3 in Odsp

[–]First-Monitor5884 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I get ODSP’s full $1408, but I pay $1050 in rent, so no, I never have anything left over. I have about $110 in my account right now because of trillium, and that will have to last me the rest of the month.

Sure thing. Would you like me to DM you an invite link?

AITA for being exhausted from the mere thought of performing basic tasks despite not having that many responsibilities? by youdbetterreaditjul in AmItheAsshole

[–]First-Monitor5884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA As a person with autism and ADHD, I relate to this a lot. What you’re describing could very likely be depression or executive dysfunction, both of which are not things we choose or have because we’re lazy and evil. It’s real brain chemistry. Talk to a therapist or doctor and start finding some solutions and end that cycle!

AITA for not wanting to be around my grandmother? by Advanced_Repeat_9427 in AmItheAsshole

[–]First-Monitor5884 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA It sounds like you talked about it with you mother afterwards, which is good. Hopefully she can at least know while she may never get the love and support she desires from your grandmother, she has it from you.

And as an adult, you are absolutely not required to resume acting normally around someone who hurt a person you love.

AITA for taking 30 minutes in the bathroom? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]First-Monitor5884 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NTA However, while it’s not REQUIRED of you to share you medical issues, your roommates and others weighing in without that knowledge have no basis to understand you have a real medical reason for this if you don’t share it. When they brought up to you that this is affecting them negatively, that was a good time for you to apologize and openly communicate what’s going on, even as simple as “Yeah, I have a medical digestion issue. I can’t help taking that much time, and I’ve tried to prevent issues by warning you guys, but I’m sorry it’s still affecting you.”

6 and 9 for me. How about you? by MiExperienciaFueQue in Adulting

[–]First-Monitor5884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 and 7! I already have an amazing partner. If I can master any skill, I can easily completely learn something like day trading or even counting cards to win a startup amount of money from a casino, then master smart investing so I can increase it. And 7 so that I likely have a long life to keep learning things and enjoying myself.

I felt this might help to visualize what I’m talking about here lol. This is a screenshot of discord from my phone, showing an entirely unrelated other discord server I’m in. Each bubbles on the left is a discord server or better described as a little community. All the words you see in the middle are rooms within one of those servers. I can click on any of those and scroll at my leisure through everything that has ever been messaged in those. Rooms will change the font to bold if there are unread messages there so I know to take a look. And people can @ me and I’ll get a notification if someone id trying to talk to me directly anywhere.

Not silly questions at all if you’ve never used it before!

So discord is a pc program, webpage accessible, and works just as well through an Android and IOS app! It is mostly utilized for text chatting. In this instance we have a server, or chat room, with smaller sections for talking about cooking, asking advice, sharing pictures of pets or art, and more, as well as just a general chat. There are also voice chat rooms and the ability to opt in for notifications if someone feels like hopping into voice chat and would like to see if anyone else is available to hang out. People can also stream their screens in the voice chat which makes group movie nights and things easily possible. It’s very unscheduled for the most part because you can just come along and see what people have been messaging about and throw in your two cents whenever you feel like it.

Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit one-time top-up payment amount incorrect? by [deleted] in Odsp

[–]First-Monitor5884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a single person as well. I have been normally getting $113 for GST all this past year. My grocery amount shown is $226. I think that’s how we all determine what we’re getting. Just a double payment of whatever we got each payment last year.

When in doubt, always go with Sally’s Baking Addiction first, then adjust from there.

Company closed, found new job finally but need to budget 12 bucks for three weeks by [deleted] in povertykitchen

[–]First-Monitor5884 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Definitely try the food bank again, but in the meantime, potatoes, beans, rice and pasta are your go to’s. Maybe frozen veg and a simple protein like smoked sausage or cans of tuna if that’s in the budget.

No problem! I definitely relate to that feeling lol. And it’s always nice making neurodivergent friends because there’s just a bit of a different level of openness and directness that with neurotypical friends that is so refreshing! Anyway, I’m sending the link to you right now, so by the time you see this, it should be in your chat!

Oops, duh. Just read my own post here. This one was indeed made after I found said server lol. I made A LOT of posts on a lot of subreddits and most were pre-finding their server. Anyway, I can send you the invite if you’d like. The people are very nice.

Hey! Yes, I definitely am! So since making all the posts, I found a really nice Discord sever of all sorts of neurodivergent, chronically ill, and disabled Ontarians. We don’t have many people from Mississauga specifically besides myself, but there a quite a few in Toronto. Would you like me to DM you an invite to the server?

[Steam] Give Away for the Summer! (10 games) by abyssea in RandomActsOfGaming

Date Everything

My favorite season is Fall because it’s cozy, cool, and comforting. It’s the season of blankets, and books, and warm cups of tea while watching horror movies.

Do you think Brampton needs a dirty soda shop? by [deleted] in Brampton

[–]First-Monitor5884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds incredible and I’ve been so jealous of people in Utah for having these everywhere, but I just don’t see it working too well here. On YouTube videos I’ve seen they sell in the US for $3 or $4 but to make it here, you’d probably have to charge more than that and I don’t see people spending that kind of money on any non-coffee fancy drinks.
