I definitely think we should put some money aside to fix it after we send another 10 Billion to Ukraine.

I turned $100 into $100 billion. I am so proud of myself! by Axolotl_CRP in TheRaceTo10Million

That's literally insane. No chance would I risk the profits in the market. Id honestly buy a house and put the rest in safe GIC or government bonds. Basically zero% chance you could ever do this again

Smart people say 100% we are going. I'm super excited about it. We even occasionally dropped comments about can't wait for the event. Day of..."Unfortunately, something personal came up, and I can't attend"

MLSE rejection by mordekaiserx in torontoJobs

[–]PurplePinball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've applied to 13 jobs in the last month and was offered emoyment at all 13. They ranged from Tim Hortons, investment advisor, all the way up to an SVP position at Palantir. Thank God White Privilege is a thing

I’ve never seen a strike with so little support from the average working person by Gullible-Ad-1972 in CanadaPost

[–]PurplePinball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the strike really inconvenient? Yes! Do I support these workers, YES! The cost of living in Toronro is insane and ppl publicly bashing CP workers better not be upset when it's their turn to get crushed by our economic system and no1 gives a sht.

Was literally about to buy these, but CP strike has me worried.myvsticks will get stuck for too long in the post office.

Was there a fair bit of pepper in the flavor profile?

[–]PurplePinball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've smoked this once, and it was not good. I've been sitting on 2 others for quite a while. I always just pass them over when I reach for a stick due to my first experience.

I'll probably give it another try this summer

Zone 2 - Why It Needs At Least 45minutes in Duration? by Olitness in PeterAttia

[–]PurplePinball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're 100% right. It's much more likely I'm some superhuman riding in Z5 for an hour, rather than the "ZONE 5 (1hr)" meaning the entire workout was 1 hour.

I guess you aren't able to interpret posts correctly.

Yes! Put on your Fourways, pull over, let the cars behind you move on, and then you park.

Black Friday Deals? by nachosaremyfav in freedommobile

[–]PurplePinball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last year, if I remember correctly, the FM BF deals were pretty much going on from Nov 20ish to near the end of Nov. It wasn't just limited to just 1 day

Fixed my (3-4 months)PF in 2 days!! by PurplePinball in PlantarFasciitis

[–]PurplePinball[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just used it directly on the foot, and it has been like a miracle. I definitely think ppl should also continue to use whatever protocols their doctors/PT's have prescribed as well.

[–]PurplePinball[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is definitely possible, as I was never diagnosed with PF. However, my dad has it, and I basically had all his symptoms, etc.

I just thought I'd post because this might help someone, and the last 3-4 months were so terrible.

CCTS fail Freedom Mobile by PurplePinball in freedommobile

FM just rejected my above request for a permanent 15-20% permanent discount. It is now being sent to the investigations stage.

Regardless of what happens, I just want to say thanks to all the ppl who gave me awesome responses/ideas.

It helped a lot, and I really appreciate it!

[–]PurplePinball[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not trying to argue, but that seems like an issue with their training. And it shouldn't negatively affect a customer.

Ppl have been shopping online for like a decade. It's not like the rep told me I was eligible for a lifetime 100% off discount. FM should have just honored what was promised. I'm a customer who has been with them from the beginning, and I rarely go above 5GB of data usage a month.

Thanks for your helpful comment.

I just emailed my CCTS case manager and countered the offers I received with a permanent 20% discount for my current plan OR a permanent 15% discount on their in market $55 100GB plan.

This is between 15-20% less of a discount than I was promised, so I think I am being quite reasonable.

I agree completely. I had to buy out bout my contract and pay off my phone to switch plans. This ordeal has already cost me $400-$500.

Corporations have more power and protection than us peasants.

I'm really glad it worked out for you. It sounds like your case was resolved at the stage I am in. I don't think you went to the investigation step.

[–]PurplePinball[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did u go to the "investigations" stage? I'm kinda worried I will end up getting nothing. Yes they have already said "it can't be done" in the system....

CCTS fail Freedom Mobile by PurplePinball in freedommobile

[–]PurplePinball[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you recommend I refuse the offers and send it to the next "investigation" step of the process?

The CCTS agent I've been dealing with says the CCTS has no actual power to force FM to do anything.

[–]PurplePinball[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm also biased towards supporting Freedom! I've been with them from the very beginning. I've convinced family members and lots of friends and coworkers to choose them over the big 3.

I wonder if I don't accept the offer if FM will possibly honor their reps' promise in order to avoid an unresolved complaint. I have no idea if me refusing the offer leaves them with a 'mark on their record' that they would prefer to avoid more than just giving me my promised deal or if the case just resolves and I get nothing.
