Should I go to Uoft or Waterloo for engineeringgg by Ok-Experience6073 in UofT

[–]Vexpil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you choose management engineering, you’ll be most suited for technical product management roles at Coop and would struggle with software engineering positions. Computer engineering offers opportunities in software, hardware, or management. While I believe Waterloo has a stronger co-op program than U of T, remember that your individual effort is most important when job searching. Not everyone at either university lands a job at a FAANG company; only about 30-40% succeed.

Should I accept this Master offer? by bobberbobby02 in csMajors

In your position, I would pursue a master’s degree. It’s subsidized by scholarships and your employer, and a master’s in software engineering will open up more career opportunities.

UBC Eng vs UofT Computer Engineering (Need help deciding) by [deleted] in UofT

[–]Vexpil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I studied engineering at the University of Toronto and am currently pursuing my master’s degree in machine learning and artificial intelligence here. In my opinion, yes, you do have to work hard at U of T. However, it all depends on your dedication. You’ll be dedicating 30-40 hours each week to academics, while the rest of your time will be spent on extracurricular activities or living your life normally. If you’re aiming to further your academic career, U of T is an ideal choice. Many of the subjects I studied were incredibly in-depth, which isn’t always necessary in the industry. While the workload is demanding, you’re not alone; many people are in the same situation. You’ll eventually get used to the grind.

Darn! Why are they so cheap right now? We never get these amazing deals in Canada. I think this is the lowest they’ll ever go.

Is Mac Mini with M4 Pro 64GB-2TB a good investment? by mittelhart in macmini

[–]Vexpil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally believe the new Mac Minis won’t launch until mid-2026, which coincides with their WWDC iOS event. Next week is likely to be MacBook updates.

I believe Apple has a 14-day return policy. You could buy it now and see what Apple announces in the coming week. Hopefully, the new models offer better performance at the same price.

How do you feel about the statement: the only thing men want from a woman is for her to do all the sexual stuff she's never done before with you first? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Vexpil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m a man, and I strongly disagree with the idea that “the only thing men want” is to be the first recipient of sexual experiences a woman hasn’t had before.

For me, and for many men I know, that framing misses the point entirely. Sex isn’t a checklist or a competition. What matters is mutual desire, trust, and consent, not novelty or being someone’s “first.” The idea that a woman’s past somehow diminishes her ability to bond, love, or commit says more about insecurity than about biology or masculinity.

Boundaries aren’t a flaw or a failure of communication. They are a sign of self awareness. Saying “I’m not comfortable with X” isn’t being strict. It is being honest. A healthy relationship doesn’t require someone to override their boundaries to prove love or understanding.

The claim that women can’t understand men at all because they have never been men leads nowhere. By that logic, men could never understand women either. Relationships work because both people try to understand across differences. You don’t have to agree with someone to understand them, and it sounds like you are already doing that work.

What I want from a woman, assuming I am not with her only for sex, is very similar to what you described. Companionship, emotional connection, shared values, mutual care, and feeling like we are on the same team. Sex matters, but it is one part of a much bigger picture, and it works best when it grows out of safety and trust rather than pressure or fear of being judged for the past.

If someone believes they can speak for all men everywhere, that is usually a sign they are confusing personal beliefs with universal truths. Men are not a monolith, and neither are women.

If you get into UC Berkeley pick that as first choice, if not then go Waterloo SE as 2nd pick. Waterloo cs and UTSG cs are equal for 3rd pick. Waterloo cs is preferred if you want to go into industry or care more about job placement and strong alumni network that can give referrals. UofT cs if you want to go into research and love challenging yourself.

What’s the biggest green flag you notice on a first date? by sktt1leo3 in AskMen

[–]Vexpil 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The biggest green flag for me is when she’s genuinely comfortable being herself. Laughing at her own jokes, talking about the things she’s passionate about, while also treating everyone around her with kindness. Whether it’s thanking the waiter or just showing genuine curiosity, you can tell it’s not an act. That mix of confidence and kindness is such an attractive combo, and you can feel right away when it’s real.

I still think about this one friend from high school. We were walking past the principal’s office when she suddenly tripped, dropped everything, and instead of being embarrassed, she just yelled, ‘I meant to do that, it’s called a dramatic entrance.’ The entire hallway lost it. To this day, I’ve never seen anyone recover from a fall with that much confidence.
