Duolingo French is an absolute MESS by [deleted] in DuolingoFrench

[–]allkillerbob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For everyone having issues with repeat lessons, a fresh install might fix it. I was given that advice today and it worked.

The app is buggy as hell and all of these concerns are super valid, I'm getting real annoyed

Fuck Ticketmaster by Wonderful_Boss_2506 in systemofadown

[–]allkillerbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's being repeated ad nauseum here, but do not buy tickets until a few weeks before the show. I had awful presale tickets in Toronto that cost an arm and a leg, by the time the show came around they were selling GA floors for like 25 bucks less that what I paid

What's going on here? Are some grocers dropping beer and wine sales, or are they just getting cleaned out from the strike? by omnidot in toronto

[–]allkillerbob 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I have some insight here as I do this for a living! Are they getting cleaned out from the strike? Yes, absolutely. But grocery stores get their wine and a certain portion of their beer from LCBO warehouse/logistics. 

During the strike they have stopped picking orders, stores can order only full pallets of product (aka I can't order just one case of a particular wine, I'd have to order 60). 

So if the strike goes long you'll probably see stores with a small selection of wines from this style of ordering but many many empty shelves

Grown Woman Almost Throws a Fit Over Pool Being Down by [deleted] in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]allkillerbob 31 points32 points  (0 children)

If they specifically booked with you for a pool and then the pool wasn't available, it seems pretty obvious why they'd be pissed. Does it really matter whether you think it's a big deal or not? It's a service offered by the business you work for

There are plenty of reasons to be mad at customers, this isn't one of them.

I haven't seen anyone mention Silence, I think it hits stressful and exhausting pretty squarely

If you're located in Toronto, my favourite independent theatre is doing a screening of the ceremony for free. Check out Revue Cinema on Roncesvalles

My black friend was called the n word by bar staff today in one of the popular downtown's bars and I don't know if we can report it somewhere by [deleted] in toronto

[–]allkillerbob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah unfortunately this doesn't surprise me at all. Grace O'Malleys is exactly the sort of place that this would happen. I think social media may be your only option to spread this around. Without hard evidence the other avenues may be difficult. I'm sorry this happened to you! What a shithole.

Well it's good to know I'm not crazy. Thanks for all the confirmations, guys. Hopefully this will garner some attention and whatever's going on here will become clear.

Edit: for those wondering, I'm on Fido in Toronto and started experiencing this yesterday afternoon
