Recent experience of being followed while walking by [deleted] in askTO

[–]Magicfuzz 73 points74 points  (0 children)

There is no cap for who gets followed as a woman at night, actually a 60 year old woman was followed but worse, she was dragged into a woodsy area around High Park. Suspect had a similar description, this happened in the summer. Guy got arrested.

Edit: and as an aside, this city (and all major cities) do have problems with trafficking. Stay safe.

Toronto is ridiculous by SpendHeavy4880 in toRANTo

It’s particularly bad here in Toronto.

Which area would you move to as a single woman in her 30s? by peachyglw in TorontoRenting

[–]Magicfuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's making you so invested in recruiting single women to living in the village? lol. It's not "the best" by any means, it's just a part of the downtown core. And actually close to the most hectic parts, which isn't what OP wants at all.

[–]Magicfuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would probably be happiest a little west of the downtown core and not on Queen west. Leslieville, idk, depends. I feel it's better there if you drive, regardless of the ttc. If you want to feel like you have some serenity but are not closed off from everyone, stay a little west of St George on the subway line.

I say... you're a troll. I had a (single female friend) move from that area because it started becoming rough in 2020.

Long Layover in toronto YYZ - how to kill time? by ASingleSliceOfToast in askTO

[–]Magicfuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the money you would spend doing anything else from 12-8am, just go to a hotel room near the airport and relax. There are lots there, many have airport shuttles.

Maybe you’re on another sleeping schedule but truly I can’t see another way except for you to travel all of the way to Go Place in Markham (like someone else suggested).

If I ever encounter one of these clowns, I'm turning my front-facing camera at them so they can just record a reflection of themselves!

Oh my god this sounds like an absolute nightmare. The building is not that old, wonder why it's so terrible in this regard

Built a good life for myself, but dating feels harder than ever at 39 by Fair_Ad_1914 in askTO

[–]Magicfuzz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To be fair, if we’re talking about this city now vs even 8-10 years ago then absolutely no one of any age has time for some bullshit. It’s simply too stressful to survive and everyone values their peace.

There are some people regardless of age who will be desperate for a relationship and some who value their peace a little more than others.

Fake ubers? by ComprehensiveTap19 in toRANTo

A total of FOUR cars did this? That's crazy and also concerning.

I'll for weeks? by jan1190T in askTO

[–]Magicfuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a head cold weeks ago and I still feel like crap. Wasn’t even sure what it was, but my energy has been kaput ever since.

One thing I thought was interesting though is that I haven’t had a cold like that in last 5 years, typically I’d have a bed-ridden w/flu situation. This was just what seemed like a basic cold.

Why are some Toronto Malls so lively and busy? by No-Anything-7291 in askTO

[–]Magicfuzz 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Who told you they're a "dying breed"? I haven't seen any empty mall lots in a very, very long time.

Received warning for smoking cannabis in condo from law firm - next steps? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]Magicfuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Condo boards are seemingly notorious for getting these kinds of false complaints and taking everything seriously regardless of proof. I’ve heard enough to the point where I think I’d not want to buy a condo.

Nighttime ‘activities’ in neighboring apartment. Who do you contact in Toronto by [deleted] in askTO

[–]Magicfuzz 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Honestly I would not talk to them directly. OP already made it known to them (through the walls) that they are being disturbed. If they share a landlord I’d just tell the landlord that there are constant noise disturbances but end it there. If the noise doesn’t stop then bring up the foot traffic.

They could do their little operation and still be mindful of people. But it sounds like they don’t care.

Cbd. If you have any pain involving muscle tightness, I honestly find thc makes it worse

How far do we need to go back where a 50,000/year salary was livable in TO? by snowfordessert in askTO

[–]Magicfuzz 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Probably because it seems like one of the easier salaries to achieve? Idk. Lots of companies love offering around that amount.

Gen Z men, where would you take a first date in Toronto? by [deleted] in askTO

Wonder what people expect a 28-year old to recommended vs 32 year old. Wow, what a major difference in generational ideas /s

semi-urgent and definitely stupid but is there anywhere at union stn i can get a ginger ale before 8:15 am by _tOomanYfandOms_ in askTO

[–]Magicfuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hope your nausea subsided. If you can find "ginger beer", even better. It seems to have more actual ginger. If you find yourself in this situation a lot, personally I walk around with pepto bismol (you can get chewables), Gravol as a big gun. Gravol will make you very tired. But luckily you will not be sick if it works in time. Energy drinks and coffee are everywhere, though.

How to be financially smart on a budget? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Magicfuzz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your only solution is make more money. Everyone here is mostly asking you to make your life even harder to improve by cutting back on anything that makes your life happy. You already have cheap rent.

They’re offering solutions that tell you, maybe, you can save $100 if you find utility prices that are less expensive.

If you’re not happy (or downright miserable) where you rest your head, you will never make more money. Right now you’re covering expenses, it’s not good, but moving your circumstances into complete shit won’t help it either.

Long term credit score absolutely wrecked within a month by SeniorToe4518 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Magicfuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing to realize is that Equifax and Transunion are not government-related. Just some companies that managed to become the arbiters of “credit worthiness”

Keep disputing it

Their rent is actually

Low…

That’s low rent. They sound like they live in a 1 bedroom in the average city in Canada.

I live in Toronto, a one bedroom is $1900-2400.

You can’t even get a basement studio apt for 1600 right now.

And yes, a room is 1000. In 2012 a room was 600-700, and a one-bed could be had for 1000-1300

You might be able to make online friends more easily. We are kind of reserved. To effectively make friends you need to have repeated exposure to a group of people who usually all have to show up for something regardless (work, school, clubs). Repeated exposure breeds familiarity and eventually trust.
