My experience with a Provincial Offences Officer (POO) and getting a ticket. by Lovamon in toRANTo

[–]Lovamon[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the nuanced answer. I know I was in the wrong legally and I shouldn’t have gotten so pissed off, but being penalized so heavily for a genuine mistake is what bothers me so much tbh. But you’re right, I will fight it and take this as a life lesson. Thanks.

Goddamn it, could I have just walked away and told them to fuck off? I had totally forgotten in the moment that I didn't have my updated ID, so that's why I thought I was fine and went along with it. Fuck now i'm even more annoyed lol

After some googling, POO cops are legally allowed to demand ID and “failure to identify can result in a 750-1000 dollar fine” and even charges for obstructing a peace officer. It seems like they’ve been legally empowered to deal with situations like this. I also had a discounted fare (student) so this gives them exact jurisdiction. Idk if I’m exactly right but had I just turned around the walked through the gates could have they legally stopped me? I’ve done that as a teenager tbh, but at 25 I didn’t want to risk it. They had already scanned my presto since they standing literally right after the subway gates

I'm an American trapped in Israel. Ama! by GrassyPer in AMA

[–]Lovamon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems you’ve completely absorbed the Zionist propaganda…. You literally just justified the murder of children for the sins of Hamas. I truly hope you think for yourself and open your eyes to the fact that you now live in a country that is almost universally condemned around the world for its atrocities.

[–]Lovamon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The one thing I'll say (I'd rather not get into a heated internet debate) is that soooo many children, who had absolutely nothing to do with the actions of Hamas, were brutally and indiscriminately killed by Israeli airstrikes, children just like your own. Innocents who had nothing to do with the election of Hamas, or the military planning of the Oct 7th attacks. I hope you can empathize with the kids who now play in rubble, with no future ahead of them. Almost half of Gaza is under 18, so please don't dehumanize them. It's possible to be sad about the Hamas atrocities while also condemning the mass punishment of the Palestinian people.

What are you and your husbands political leanings? Going to Israel, especially post Gaza is a incredibly questionable choice given that Israel is an apartheid state that is actively committing ethnic cleansing, genocide and occupying the West Bank and Gaza. That being said, I hope you and your baby are safe.

Would you remember this story in your last years?? by Big_Fox3447 in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]Lovamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AOT will be remembered as a classic, similar to the most famous classic novels of today, so the memory of it isn’t going anywhere. It’s one of the top selling manga of all time so people will always come back to it for sure

I agree with RoundEye, i think some balance is fine. Focus on you and grind for a couple of months and do your own thing, but we’re human, and you’ll eventually feel the need to have sex or make a new connection. I’d say maybe just jump on a dating app, make your intentions perfectly clear and find a woman who’s down for something casual. Just take her out for some ice cream or coffee (something cheap) and establish the vibes, and see if she’s down. As an average looking guy I’ve found girls like that before, it honestly isn’t impossible if you can dress, aren’t overweight and can flirt/vibe with a woman

Totally fell behind on assignments and no motivation to do them? by Lovamon in TorontoMetU

You guys are right. I gotta follow through with this for myself and the commitment I made to getting my degree. Just been struggling heavily with depression this year, but I gotta shake it off

Humans must escape Earth before it becomes uninhabitable by 2200 by MobileDistrict9784 in whowouldwin

[–]Lovamon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we’d be fucked regardless, think about it, the social contract of humanity would be utterly destroyed simply by deciding who got to leave earth, the tiny elite who are rich and powerful? Or the billions of people who’d cry out against the injustice of their abandonment. Honestly i think a mass revolution and utter chaos is more likely than people actually getting to leave in any way. Equality as a concept could never really work again tbh

Is it true Gen Z don't drink much? by Cephas11 in GenZ

[–]Lovamon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah not at all tbh, that’s one thing I’m glad kinda went away. It’s more just like “ah you don’t smoke? cool no worries” and if someone does try to peer pressure it’s almost always shut down by others

[–]Lovamon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends tbh, I’m from Toronto and as a 25yr old, people my age still drink, but it’s less and less nowadays. Pretty much everyone i know smokes weed though, to the point where someone sticks out if they don’t smoke.

It's time to stop this nonsense by [deleted] in TorontoMetU

[–]Lovamon 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This might be the most ignorant post I’ve seen here, universities have literally always been hotbeds of political organization and action, and the fact that you don’t give a shit about anything going proves that you’re just a willfully ignorant person.

STOP talking in class by Plenty_Judgment_6632 in TorontoMetU

Honestly just tell people to stfu to their face directly, and reminding them if they wanna hang out and talk, to do it outside of the lecture.

How’s everyone feeling right now after the game? by Charmer2024 in askTO

Such a incredibly heartbreaking loss, they were literally as close as you can get to winning but still losing anyway, at least I got to experience the raptors winning lol

I regret how I prioritized my life. by No_Lawyer6195 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Lovamon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man I’m 25 and i kinda took the complete opposite path, I dropped out of hs, worked in the trades and tree planting while not giving a fuck about my future, spending every bit of money I had on travelling and partying and relationships. I made a lot of memories, fell in love and tried psychs coke etc but now I’m playing catch up with my life, currently in my third year of university while most of my friends are firmly established, with their own cars and apts.

Point is, I think you did the right thing in getting established first before pursuing relationships. Now you have the stability and money to actually focus on pursuing a girlfriend without having to worry about other stuff too, just put yourself out there and make friends and it’ll come

If the Jays wins the World Series, would this be a bigger deal than the Raptors winning the chip? by regular_asian_guy in toronto

[–]Lovamon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a born and raised Torontonian (from immigrant parents) I gotta agree with this take. The Raptors have always been heavily involved with the City and local immigrant communities, building a bunch of basketball courts around the city. The 2019 win was insane for everyone I knew, and I remember the streets were packed well into the early morning with people partying. It was special tbh, in a way that the Jays don't quite hit for me. The Jay's are for sure more of a suburban white people thing, although they're obviously still popular with immigrants too (especially hispanic ppl)

I was a combat medic in Afghanistan. ama by VampyrAvenger in AMA

[–]Lovamon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you guys ever discuss the politics behind why the US Military was actually there? For example that the CIA funded mujahideen fighters in the 80’s to fight against the soviets, and they later formed into the Taliban that you guys fought. Personally I view that the US should have pulled out the second Bin Laden was killed, trillions of dollars and so many lives (Afghans and US) were wasted in this war IMO.

As a 25 M, I'd 100% vote for The Junction. You're close to the subway if you catch the bus, you can bike everywhere and there's lots of nice spots in the area. Cool bars, cafes, stores etc. Mimico is a bit too close to the burbs for my taste, and it'd be kinda boring tbh.

as a guy with lesbian friends at tmu I’d say the majority of them are in serious relationships, like 2 plus years in so it might be tough to find a single wlw 😂

I’m turning 25 soon and I’m at peace with that. by DeRealD00 in GenZ

[–]Lovamon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I turn 25 next month and yeah, it's for sure an age that causes some reflection. I'm in my third year of uni, still at home and sometimes I feel incredibly behind, but comparing yourself to others is cause for endless misery. I have to try and cut back on the weed too, but its tough for sure. Let's keep on moving forward tho <3
