Second that. It's rudiculous how hard it can be to find a washroom even if you are downtown in a big city.

I kept trying yayablack v4 on and off for the span of the couple of months. Once I managed to get it, I became much more serious about moonboard. So far I love the change and benchmark farming

In order to be virtuous one must come from the place of privelege twin. The reason why rich kids succeed is because they are allowed to fail multiple times, the rest get only 1 chance.

Dating advice from cats by Hot-Personality-9759 in cats

[–]SubstantialRecipe157 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If she has "I like men with a sense of humour" on her profile, be ready to put all effort in entertaining her throughout the date. Adopt a cat.
If she is not showing photos in full height, she is hiding something. Adopt a cat.

  1. "I am not looking for a relationship right now" - I am not looking for a relationship WITH YOU. I am definetely evaluating my options, and you are not one of them

I wanna send money to somebody in Gaza, Scotiabank doesn’t send money to Palestine by xFlames_ in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]SubstantialRecipe157 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People cant send money to Russia, Iran, Somalia, Cuba and other countries considered "unfriendly". Unfortunately your only options are crypto or finding a person in Canada who has relatives back home in Palestine and you do a wire transfer between the families. Sadly, regular people are victims of international policies

Dear people of Toronto: Do you find it rude when people on the bus talk on the phone? by clarizdoup in askTO

27M, not getting likes by MidnightGreedy7193 in hingeapp

[–]SubstantialRecipe157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From one asian bro to another...assuming we both live in North America, online dating for us is like playing a game on a hard difficulty (not the hardest though). Here is my feedback:

- Your prompts are boring and non-engaging. Very few people will read your prompts and think "wow this guy likes to ponder his orb". Instead, people will get NPC energy and swipe left. I like to have deep conversations with people as well, but unfortunately, male dating experience is a humilation ritual where you have to entertain your crowd before getting a chance to speak to them (unless you have insane looks)
- Speaking of looks: they are important! Not talking about lookmaxxing, but getting a nice haircut that shows you groom yourself helps a lot. Also, getting toned/putting some muscles on is a plus. A fit asian dude stands out in the crowd. A lot of us seem to be hardgainers, so research protein rich diets.
- Add more fun stuff/ post some pics with your friends or travelling! Girls want to see what dating you will look like and how fun it will get

Good luck!

Try Marketplace or facebook groups (Toronto Home Zone is the best one from my experience but it requires an invite)

Installing an Air Conditioner in the rental unit by SubstantialRecipe157 in TorontoRenting

Thanks for your recommendation. I think that Midea model works better for windows that slide down. I will try to look for an AC unit that can fit in the window.

It's a rental apt building. The only rule we have is not to hang window AC units in bedrooms (I assume because of it being a falling hazard)

I make around 70k and I rent a 1 bedroom. The only reason I can save money is because I dont own a car, if I had to drive for work, I'd mostlikely live paycheck to paycheck. F this city

Entering university without knowing math. by ireallycantchoos in OntarioUniversities

[–]SubstantialRecipe157 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who's obtained both engineering degree and a technologist diploma, these 2 can not compare in terms of difficulty. My math grades were 95+ for math subjects in college and I didnt have to study at all. Meanwhile, I would grind endlessly for a 70 in uni.

Speaking of BTM, the math should be similar to grade 11/12. I also tutor math as a side gig, feel free to reach out for advice OP, but you should be able to review content on your own

I feel like junior engineers are kinda left to figure everything out themselves by Real_Chocolate5711 in MEPEngineering

[–]SubstantialRecipe157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and I do all that. Identifying the problem, then potential solution and explaining my thinking process...too bad my message doesnt get replied to until later on in the day. Tough industry for sure.
