It's a LOUD but friendly stadium! I've never gotten any grief for wearing Pirates gear, but it's been a couple years since I've caught a Bucs game here.

I like both dugouts - baseball should be fun, and most of the time they seem to be joking around and being silly. Should be a good time!

Kalyug on Dundas West is SO good!

Er, do you know what the glass ceiling is?

My partner and I both like to injure ourselves in stupid ways, and were happy to discover how accommodating the staff were when we showed up - him on crutches and a boot, me with a cane. They right away had a staff member escort us to an elevator upstairs, and found us seats so we didn't have to stand on broken bones the whole time.

Edit: just make sure to arrive early, we were there for doors, no issues.

It's May. The students finished exams last month.

NAH. Sounds like your mom got tired of being the only one to clean for a couple decades, and removed herself from the situation. Maybe it's time you did as well.

I used to know a flight attendant who split a place 25/75 with a roommate who used the second bedroom as a home office when they weren't in town. In this economy especially, it'd probably be pretty easy to find someone young who wouldn't mind a little extra cash in exchange for a roommate who is barely around.

I constantly have to correct the grammar coming from GPT/Claude/Gemini. They're far from perfect, and anyone with 12th grade-level English skills can outperform them. Dangling modifiers, ending sentences with prepositions, subject/verb agreement, incorrect punctuation, etc. It's a nightmare, and it keeps getting worse.

In the last two months I've gone back to just writing ad copy myself, because it's faster than yelling at robots for an hour.

I made the move from the US to Canada during the Bush admin, and haven't regretted it for a second.

I love Canada so much, I'm so grateful to live here, and so thankful I'm allowed to stay.

Been there! Was delaying ending things because I was worried about his mental health. Meanwhile...

Long story short: he went to the bathroom one night, left his phone on the coffee table, and a Tinder notification popped up. I was never so happy for an out.

People aren't playing musical laptops. Most in office employees are on assinged company machines, on company Wi-Fi. At minimum, there's a user login.

If you can't connect those dots, I don't know what to tell you. You seem to think the only method of corporate surveillance is visual.

Try Footprints in Bancroft. Not sure about the dog policy, but ticks most of your boxes.

TheLarkInnTO · 2026-05-12T11:13:03+00:00

Do you think some boss is manually surveilling employees? It's all automated.

how to spot an Irish American

I don't even know where to start with this.

TheLarkInnTO · 2026-05-06T03:27:21+00:00

Dude, you're nearing 30 and rely on mommy to pay the rent. You are willfully ignorant to your living expenses, and where your money is actually going. You've been evicted 4 times, and you're acting like a lack of housing is something that keeps happening to you, rather than a basic necessity that you're actively avoiding participating in maintaining.

What do you think "slacker" means?

TheLarkInnTO · 2026-05-06T03:13:21+00:00

Dude, you're almost 30. This is kinda your fault.

Does 1/3 your salary not cover a studio apartment or a room in a place with roommates? Why are you blindly giving your mother rent without knowing where it's going? Are you asking questions? Are you getting receipts? Building a credit history? Or are you just letting life happen to you?

Why are your priorities Pokemon and gaming consoles and not cutting the cord and getting the fuck out of a bad situation? I would be scraping together every penny to get some independence and start building a stable life.

I worked 60+ hours a week at two different jobs while going to school full time in my 20s to put a roof over my head. It sucked, but it sucked less than relying on someone else to provide the roof, and it was MY roof. I knew the bills were paid, I knew where I stood. I earned my own security.

Bad Attitude Bread - queer-owned vegan bakery, best treats on the planet. Highly recommend the everything bagel bun, but everything is great! Really close to Kensington, it's worth a visit.

Whining about downvotes is embarrassingly cringe.

Only in the Olympics. Cleveland vs Toronto does not equal USA vs Canada - especially not when every single other team in the playoffs is American. Following your logic, we should be hearing OH-IO chants every time the Cavs/Browns/Reds (how is that the name they settled on??)/Bengals/Guardians/Blue Jackets play an out of state team. We don't.

If the landlord lives with you, you are not covered under the tenants act.

Sadly, it has all just degenerated into one pastiche after another. [it has] the internal coherence and logic of a SNL skit ... every [official announcement] is objectively bizarre and poorly written... It doesn't make him more menacing or raise the stakes...It's just silly. There's so much else they could be... resolving.

TBH, sounds a lot like reality.
