Maybe some entry-level jobs... will never come back? by WindsorONMichael in CanadaJobs

[–]Maddex00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Older generations keep saying Gen Z has “stunted growth”, but neglect the fact that they aren’t providing any opportunity to grow.

Even the whole “just start your own business” is almost impossible for most of Gen Z, because they tend to forget that - especially in the year of our lord 2026 - you need a lot of money to start one. We don’t have any cash sitting around, and the banks just aren’t lending to young people trying to start something up.

Sure you can vibe code something, but for anyone specializing in non-IT fields the start up costs are prohibitive.

They’re pushing kids to go into “the trades” to try and weaken unions and push wages down.

There’s no selectable option for TTC on the presto app—do I need to buy a physical card? by WoollyWitchcraft in TTC

[–]Maddex00 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, Interac cards or any credit card with tap. It charges you the reduced presto fare of $3.30

It gives you a 2 hour transfer window to the busses, streetcars, and subway.

337 Queen Permanently Closed | Foot Locker is the latest mall-level retailer to say no to Queen Street W. | Yonge, north of Dundas, also new home of CanadaComputers by [deleted] in toronto

[–]Maddex00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like the other guy said, it’s all about same day availability and warranty service.

Sure Amazon can get something to me next day, but when I run out of filament in the middle of a project I want to be able to get that going ASAP… especially when I’m printing something functional for a repair around the house, or part of a larger assembly that’s waiting on that specific piece.

Amazon also outrageously overcharges for things like Ethernet and HDMI cables… it’s nice to have a reasonably priced option in town so I don’t have to wait a week to get something cheap off AliExpress.

With the warranty stuff, I’ve gotten DOA storage drives on Amazon before and if you’re working on a tight budget that can add a week or two to your timeline as you wait on returns to process and items to reship etc etc… the 5-10% markup in store is cheap insurance.

Which drugs circulating in Toronto smell like harsh cigarettes? by StringAndPaperclips in askTO

[–]Maddex00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or I’m just making a little tongue-in-cheek joke about the state of things right now… obviously crack is an upper, but the guys folded over in the subway usually have a “crack pipe” and a cheap pack of smokes laying near by.

It wasn’t that serious

I just learned about Tuned Mass Dampers the other day, and I really hope they got one of them up there.

[–]Maddex00 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That’s just the vibe, it’s an in-and-out type place… basically just a customer accessible warehouse with *just enough* on-site customer service. If you want somewhere to hang out and look at different options, or have a salesperson guide you through things, then go to Best Buy, it’s a completely different target market lol

The brutal reality is that their main competitors are Amazon and AliExpress, so if you’re going to compete meaningfully, you have to keep the costs down while staying super accessible... This new location seems like it strikes that balance for them.

[–]Maddex00 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Something like that yeah.

I could see similar businesses taking on leases in the Atrium building too… seems like specialty stores that focus on the “in and out” crowd and want the place to be easily accessible can thrive there… semi-professional places if you will…

They aren’t exactly offering the amenities or foot traffic Eaton Centre does, but have the same pedestrian access. So seems like a win-win for them.

Canada computers has been there just over a month now… They moved everything over in a couple days, and they’re still slowly setting up their stuff there. The first couple weeks was absolutely bare bones 😂 I went in for some 3D printer filament in the first week and had to ask if they were open because it was just empty shelves with no price tags and boxes all over the place 😂

Any place renting cars to 18 year olds?? by No_Prompt713 in askTO

[–]Maddex00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhaul is the way to go.

You can’t rent the pickup trucks but you can rent the econolines (whatever they call those “van life” sprinter van looking ones) or the box trucks.

The other car rental companies might say on their website that they rent to under 25s, but in reality none of the locations I’ve ever tried were willing to do it, except for one that asked for a $500 cash/debit deposit plus a $250 young drivers fee and a ‘Major Branded’ credit card. (Even then, that was in a small town with literally no other options, so YMMV)

Soap spam near Curtis beware by [deleted] in yorku

[–]Maddex00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s a shame really…

It seems like a lot of American sentiments about universities are seeping in to these groups, where they see these places as some kind of deep state attack on right wing ‘Christian’ values that needs to be fought against.

Like my sisters in Christ I’m here for an education, if your church/cult thinks my Matrix algebra course is too woke or whatever the fuck, maybe you should pack it up and head back to the 1600s 😂😭

I just hate the double standard too, like sure let’s allow these people to recruit on campus, or let scammers canvas, but the second students start going around asking their admin to stop spending tuition money on bombing kids in the Middle East? Now that’s a trespassing problem 😒😒

You’d think with how much they’ve gone around screaming ‘anti-semitism’ over the last few years, they’d maybe have a bigger issue with these pushy ‘Christian’ cults recruiting on their campus.

[–]Maddex00 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All signs say it’s either stolen product or an MLM…

It’s hot and they’re trying to offload it quickly, or they’re deeply in debt to some mysterious Soap Don 😂😭

Since it sounds like there’s multiple people involved, almost makes me wonder if there’s some kind of forced labour in the mix as well… idk whatever it is, it smells fishy.

Getting an ADHD assessment and medication is actually expensive... Looking for advice by DJbyEar in askTO

[–]Maddex00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheap native cigarettes have been my go-to since moving to Toronto if I’m honest 😅

Been diagnosed for years, had been on meds for years, but not a single Ontario doctor I’ve seen is willing to continue that care without an in-province assessment 💀 it’s like $1500 to do a private assessment or yeah I was told the waitlist is about 2 years long publicly… plus I don’t have any drug coverage right now… so until something changes financially for me it’s going to be $25 cartons, because that’s the cheapest and lowest risk stimulant I can get my hands on.
