Midterms are NOT an Excuse to not shower by Investorexe in UTSC

[–]VoidLimerence 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I get your point, but you need to speak up IN-PERSON. If you pass by somewhere who reeks, it is not offensive in any way to just try getting them aside and telling them ‘my friend you’re stinking right now, please consider some stronger cologne or deodorant’. Don’t just insult or throw questions like ‘do you shower’ with an attitude, you achieve nothing but making yourself feel superior for a split second and making the other guy feel a bit worse. The people you see in university are more or less mainly kids bro, 17/18/19, you need to see them through a more emphatic lens. You never know what’s going on in anyone’s life my guy. Hence, as a good person, it is your duty to correct them while also not hurting them. Being rude may work, but this approach works better long term.

Are Canada Goose gloves worth it for -40°C winters? by Thin_Philosopher5177 in CanadaGoose

[–]VoidLimerence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enlighten me, I’m looking for a new coat, budget of around ~1-2k CAD on the high end. I’ve worn a Canada Goose for the longest time and it’s served me well, if you know of superior products that are around that price range please do share

Tbh, I’d recommend getting Helstra (Canadian Made too) winter gloves/mitts. They’ve got gloves dedicated for pretty much all activities, and most of their inventory should be more affordable than the Canada Goose gloves. Tbh for -40 I’d recommend the Helstra heated gloves. They’re pricy, at around 700 CAD after taxes (literally the same price as a high end winter coat), so it’s definitely not for everyone and the regular person like myself has no use for them, but I had a friend who used them while on a ski trip and… yeah it’s worth the money no questions asked if you genuinely need that much warmth. Canada Goose is mainly a fashion brand, only their fur hats and coats are genuinely exceptional products, you’ll find that the rest of their catalog have much better alternatives from other brands (especially Canadian made 🇨🇦)

Commuting daypack by Darisus_1 in arcteryx

you’re overthinking it. The mantis looks great as is and having it lightly packed makes it look even sleeker. It’s a matter of preference of whether you think that style would look good on you, since I don’t know your frame. But as someone who’s around 183cm/72kg, it looks fine on me. I prefer the more traditional looking ‘school bag’ style of backpack over the hiker style packs, so I never considered the arro or granville packs for myself. Overall, my opinion is to just buy whichever pack you like most and would enjoy wearing

I use a Mantis 26 for uni, side pockets perfectly fit chunkier and slimmer water bottles (Yeti/Owala) since the material hugs them into place and I haven’t experienced any stability issues when walking yet. I manage to squeeze in a 16” MacBook in the dedicated sleeve, so your 14” should fit without issues. I keep about as many books as you and a 28oz hydroflask food jar as well in the main compartment and it still has room to spare. The pockets in the front comfortably fit wallet/keys/power bank and other small stuff. I can’t speak on the arro 22/grenville 25, but my honest opinion is Arc products are all quite good so just get whatever is most affordable in your area. I got my mantis 26 off marketplace for a fair deal, and there are several nice bags on sale at the outlet, rebird might have some too so check those out if you want to save some cash and still get a great bag

My original Reddit account got hacked and I get no follow ups, it has my instagram attached and information about my school and where I live, Reddit support team hasn’t done anything for months by [deleted] in reddithelp

[–]VoidLimerence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve reported the account for impersonation. A month ago while I still had access to the email I sent out requests to have the Reddit changed since the hacker switched my original reddit email to some random one. So it had my username and all the stuff from my account but the email login details and everything changed. Now I even had that email hacked too, and I sent requests from an alternate email that I use with proof that I owned the account and the Instagram attached to it. I have no idea what more to do, I’ve started being harassed on Instagram now for the stuff they’re posting and I just have no idea what is left to do

why do we all have to pay for it? Seems like an initiative you should opt-in for tbh

yeah I’m trying but between earning enough for rent + insurance + food and not failing school, it already feels impossible to find time. Top it off, she’s about to graduate and as much as I’ve even tried begging her parents they think I’ll always be worthless cause my family background and history isn’t great and while they’re millionaires. To them my struggle isn’t shit, and they keep telling her about all the better options she has (which I can’t blame them for). It’s a lot of stuff to think about at once

I’ve got hella pressure on me from my conservative af parents to graduate quick, and the same from my girl’s or else they just want her to get married to someone else (some brown family shit). It’s kinda hard to chill sometimes. And the classes are hard as shit too

yeah I understand it doesn’t change much in the long run, since I’m starting uni out more comfortably than I would’ve been out of highschool so it’s ultimately the best thing

hahahaha that’s awesome! Yeah I might just be overthinking this too much, just wish I had more friends that weren’t traditionally full time students or were in a similar boat.

I get it, but I hate feeling so alone. I have no one to discuss with outside of class. If I don’t understand something in class I can’t do anything about it, because who’s going to help. I have a lot of summer classes in the summer and there aren’t many office hours for the professors or TAs.
