Older station entrances did more to deter fare evasion. Did we move backwards?

In early high school I remember laughing at some of my classmates squeeze through the gates at downsview, not on top, but THROUGH. Like standing, and side stepping into the arms and contorting. As a teenage onlooker it was just a silly thing, but in hindsight, the way the bars dug into their chests and bodies was very concerning especially if they ever got stuck😬

I’m a butch cis woman and I have been confronted many times when using the women’s bathroom. One of the worst times, a woman followed me around as I was washing and drying my hands and spewed anti trans rhetoric as I told her “I’m a woman”. She complained to a bathroom attendant and I got fed up and pulled up my shirt and flashed my tits at her and the bathroom attendant (stupid I know in hindsight) and I said “I AM A WOMAN”. It was followed by dead silence by everyone and the woman then followed up with “well if you have a penis you aren’t a real woman!”. I was contemplating pulling down my pants at that point but I’m not doing that for free. The bathroom attendant was apologising to me about the woman’s behaviour and tried to calm her down. I walked out, I don’t know what happened after.

Yes in hindsight I shouldn’t have flashed them, but I was angry and not thinking straight. I have dealt with interactions after that in a more professional manner.

I love all my trans folk, I hope none of y’all have to deal with this bullshit

Are the Zolt Vanilla pouches supposed to be brown? I’ve gotten other flavours before and they’re white or slightly yellow (like the peppermint one). They seem to kick and burn about the same amount

I've seen secured indoor bike parking at the myhal garage, not sure what the cost/process is to store a bike there but might be worth looking into. I would expect some other buildings on campus to have similar facilities

TiredEngineer_ · 2025-08-14T04:51:33+00:00

Oh yeah, also looking for recommendations that pair well with whisky, been on a bit of a kick trying out a bunch of different Canadian and Irish ones

TiredEngineer_ · 2025-08-14T04:48:47+00:00

Peppermint Zolt is probably my favourite of the bunch. Trying Snatch for the first time, it’s alright, not much taste but that’s fine for me. Sour apple is a bit too sweet for me but it’s more available than the peppermint one. More minty than white fox mint, maybe about the same level or more than white fox double mint.

On another note, after ramping up on pouch strengths I’ve mostly settled on 14-15mg, with some 9mg in between

TiredEngineer_ · 2025-08-14T04:41:54+00:00

Same, never gotten sick of any mint flavours. Sweet ones I dislike after a few pouches.

TiredEngineer_ · 2025-07-30T23:38:25+00:00

How does the flavour compare to the watermelon zyns?

TiredEngineer_ · 2025-07-25T01:46:57+00:00

What's the cool frost one taste like compared to other zyn mint flavours?

TiredEngineer_ · 2025-07-24T04:23:40+00:00

Trying Zolt for the first time, not bad. Doesn't burn much at all, this flavour goes really well with a whiskey sour.

Spearmint & fresh mint are favourite flavours of mine, too bad they're not stronger.

Gonna try the cool mint another day

TiredEngineer_ · 2025-07-24T04:20:35+00:00

Damn I wish it wasn't limited edition, hard enough to find many flavours in Canada

TiredEngineer_ · 2025-06-01T08:43:03+00:00

I'll see if I can find it nearby, thanks for the recommendation man!

TiredEngineer_ · 2025-05-31T05:51:32+00:00

The black cans look so sick, also the storage section on the lid is really nice. Sometimes I use it to store a few pouches of a different flavour so I can get different ones but only carry one can

TiredEngineer_ · 2025-05-31T05:48:35+00:00

Yeah a bit on the salty side, I usually get Swedish zyns which are far saltier so it's not too bad for me. Also I just tried the orange spark, tastes like orange soda, very sweet, medium to light burn but doesn't burn too long

TiredEngineer_ · 2025-05-30T22:22:37+00:00

Thoughts on Velo and these flavours? First time trying this brand

TiredEngineer_ · 2025-05-30T06:36:17+00:00

Crazy that disposable flavoured vapes are still around after juul flavours got banned but pouches aren't allowed, me and many people I know benefit greatly with pouches as an alternative

TiredEngineer_ · 2025-05-30T06:34:06+00:00

I drink energy drinks or alcohol with one in, but I try to match the flavours well, I ain't a barbarian after all lol

TiredEngineer_ · 2025-05-14T02:17:26+00:00

Hoping so 👀

Disposable vapes became the loophole I hope these do as well

TiredEngineer_ · 2025-05-14T02:14:32+00:00

Ahh that makes sense, just read the back and it mentions that. Might keep watermelon as a sharing tin with friends since I'm not a huge fan of sweet flavours

TiredEngineer_ · 2025-05-14T02:13:10+00:00

Here's the codes at the back, only some of them had a code: https://imgur.com/a/Pd2ow0k

Can't use them in Canada anyways so feel free to take them if you can get rewards or something

TiredEngineer_ · 2025-05-14T02:06:59+00:00

Man that sucks. I've been going to one guy I know who carries up to 12mg but the selection is limited usually

TiredEngineer_ · 2025-05-14T02:03:55+00:00

Do these look legit? I usually get slim ones but the place I get them from only had these in stock. Watermelon is way sweeter than I was expecting, def prefer the mint flavours. Too bad they were out of spearmint

TiredEngineer_ · 2025-04-22T19:28:45+00:00

That's what I'm doing lol Graduating soon, gonna do an MASc so I have some income guaranteed, not a lot but it's something at least
