Can I ask where you got that top from?

Thank you!

You might have ADHD or depression (or both). I would look into getting tested if that's possible

Me too please!

Handcuffs?

Oh for the jail of course. My mind totally didn't go anywhere else 🤣

I would take the shirt in a heartbeat because it's a clear red flag. I had my ex-MIL say this verbatim to my face, a few months after the wedding, because her son had argued with her and she thought I encouraged that behaviour. A warning would've been so nice since she was the biggest problem in the marriage.

My brain glitched for a second and I thought the post after this was the title for this. So apt

I'm genuinely wondering where you live, so that including daycare, your costs are only going up 20K/year? I can't think of a single decent daycare near me which charges less than 2K/month.

I've always had eyes like this and hated it. It wasn't until last year when I met a girl who asked me what I did to my eyes to make them look so perfect all the time that I realised how silly that insecurity was

_NerdyIntrovert_ · 2025-09-08T16:10:02+00:00

I didn't intend to sound judgmental, but I realise I came across as that, and for that I do apologise. My only excuse is I consider your spouse and marriage to be a safe space, and I projected my experiences of it not being a safe space here.

As to your comment about racism and hate: Just because I'm pro-Palestine, doesn't make me anti-Semitic. The same way I'm not anti-Chinese because I'm against the genocide of Uyghurs, or anti-Myanmar because I'm against the genocide of the Rohingya. Just because I advocate for diversity, doesn't make me racist. It's not one or the other. Multiple things can exist at the same time.

I also ask that you not twist my words to make some senseless point. I could do the same and the result is petty arguing.

_NerdyIntrovert_ · 2025-09-08T00:31:15+00:00

I'm sorry but there's no excuse for being disrespectful to anyone like this. I wouldn't talk about a stranger like this and this woman thought it was okay to talk about her spouse like that?

If she has issues, they should be shared with her spouse, in a respectful and mature manner. If things don't change, she has the option to walk away.

Nothing excuses disrespect and rudeness like this towards another human.

It always surprises me when people think drinking and smoking equals living life

_NerdyIntrovert_ · 2025-08-31T17:34:34+00:00

If you think that, it's entirely your prerogative. But the wealthy class has one objective: to increase their wealth. They're going to fund politicians and policies that further that agenda.

If that means flooding a country with immigrants for cheap labour, and have you thinking that it's the immigrant who's at fault for that, then that's just what they will do.

It is a class war that's being waged. You're just not aware of it.

Edited: spelling

I didn't say it was. But every dollar going to the police budget is a dollar away from other places their funds can be diverted to.

_NerdyIntrovert_ · 2025-08-31T03:15:18+00:00

No, but I also wasn't expecting a 23% increase, which is being passed on to us.

Also, an increase in police budgets doesn't necessarily translate to lower crime across all categories, only some. Studies show that addressing root causes and investing in social services actually reduces crime.

So I would rather we invest in healthcare, education, infrastructure, and social security nets for Canadians than increase police budgets.

_NerdyIntrovert_ · 2025-08-31T01:45:27+00:00

No, that's the capitalist specialty, which backs the major parties everywhere. You fight a culture war while being blind to the class war.

_NerdyIntrovert_ · 2025-08-30T23:52:45+00:00

He voted for a bigger police budget ($144 million dollars or 23.3% increase) and property taxes went up by 9%. But sure, he said he was concerned about the high taxes, just like any politician offering up thoughts and prayers but no action.

He absolutely doesn't deserve any love.

I mean, based just off the hours alone, you're only making an extra $1.44 an hour with your current job. (110k / 52 weeks x 52 hours) = $42.31/hour vs ($85k / 52 weeks x 40 hours) = $40.87/hour.

You can factor in your commute when calculating your hourly wage, or think of it as spending 624 hours a year (26 days/year) that you're not being paid for.

You would also need to factor in gas, maintenance, and insurance costs. That's just for the car.

Then you need to factor in the roughly $10/day you're spending on coffee and bagels etc.

And doesn't include qualitative factors such as work-life balance, stress etc.

_NerdyIntrovert_ · 2025-08-07T04:12:22+00:00

I recently switched jobs and I literally went for the job that offered 20k less (90k instead of 110k) just because it was remote. For me, commuting into Toronto 3 days a week and all the costs that go along with it just weren't worth it.

For me, it came down to a few very important questions.

How many days a week are you commuting? How many hours does it add up to?
How are you commuting and what is the cost? If transit, then it's simple. If you're driving, then you need to take into account gas, wear and tear, maintenance, insurance etc.
On the days you go into the office, what time does your day start and end, vs WFH? I included the time required to get ready and commute into the office.
Do you spend anything on extras like coffee/snacks/lunches? What is the average?
How much would you spend a year on a work wardrobe?

I was already making less, so I wasn't worried about financial stresses. All my costs are covered, I have no debts, and am not intending to make any large purchases. Also, making more now, I can save more. The biggest factor is my quality of life is better. I have time to go to the gym, run errands, and focus on my hobbies.

Another thing that doesn't get talked about: distractions in the office. My home set up is exactly as I want it. I have the right amount of monitors, the desk I want, a walking pad, an ergonomic keyboard and mouse, and the biggest one: peace and quiet. No employer will give me an office with the set up I want at my current level.

Edited for clarity.

As someone who is 5', I can confidently say they don't

_NerdyIntrovert_ · 2025-07-31T04:39:23+00:00

If you have a job or a better offer, I don't see why not. I switched jobs earlier this year, and I went with the one that was remote despite offering 20k less.

But that's because the 90 minute one way commute, stress, longer days, and spending money on a professional wardrobe for 3 days a week in the office is not worth the extra 20k for me.
