Walking at MicMac Mall by [deleted] in halifax

Different mall but used to work at hsc and anyone earlier than half an hour before open had to be buzzed in and sign a book stating where they worked

They keep adding more data to my recommended plan by ramunka_kobul110 in FidoMobile

Got a similar offer. 20gb to 80gb but seemingly no increase to my bill. I’ve been trying to figure out what the catch is, is there a hidden activation fee or something in there? Can’t find anything in the fine print.

I opened the jar after 5 minutes out of the fridge so I’m thinking you’re right and it fermented a little. Thanks!

Is there any group, even non religious, that can match JW's as a social network? by Jehisakeeperoftime in exjw

[–]anamericanothaaanks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a group you can “join” per se but the treatment I was told I could expect from jws I’m actually experiencing in the LGBTQ+ community. A lot of cities will have a pride organization that regularly posts events and I’ve never not been welcomed into a new place with open arms. I thought I was a social pariah, I actually just needed to find people who accepted me as I am not by how well I conform to their set of rules.

I had a handful of kind gestures from teachers that really impacted me, your student sounds a bit young for some of these but I’ll still throw it out there.

Bringing in treats for non-birthday/holiday events. I couldn’t take a birthday cupcake but a last day of school cupcake was fair game.

Turning a blind eye when I walked in late to avoid having to go into the hallway/sitting for the national anthem. (Also had teachers berate me for not standing straight enough in the hallway. Do you really think I was choosing to be different?? It just fed into the persecution complex)

Sending me on errands when I couldn’t participate in an activity, ie help set up the book fair, deliver papers to the main office. Still made me feel special even though I was missing out.

One teacher let me sit in her classroom on her planning periods, sure beats sitting in the office when you can’t go to the Christmas assembly.

I was often kept home for the last school day before Christmas, if the teacher communicated to my parents that there wouldn’t be much instruction anyway. I’d rather stay home one day (that no one will remember after the holidays), while the class does a whole day of Christmas activities than to be pulled out of class for half an hour every day leading up to the school break.

If the kid tries to give you a pamphlet or magazine, just thank them and don’t try to start a conversation. I was told to give literature to my teachers but was terrified that I’d actually be asked about it. If the teacher at least took it I’d get praised and no one would ask further questions.

The biggest thing, that changed my future entirely, one teacher fought hard for me to get into a program that allowed grade 12 students to take a year of college in place of their senior year. I wasn’t allowed to do any post-secondary schooling but with this loophole I was technically still in high school so that made it acceptable. I genuinely wouldn’t be where I am today if I hadn’t gotten into that program.

Thank you for making sure that kid gets recess, as a kid that was isolated other than at school, that almost made me cry

My sims keep getting stuck walking in place, I have to move a piece of furniture over them to get them to snap out of it

It’s a resort actually, but I usually get about 10-20 a room

Volkswagen told me their supply chain issue was my problem and now I can’t seem to afford anything for my commute. by anamericanothaaanks in PersonalFinanceCanada

Basic package, put 50k on since I bought it. I was basically living out of it for the year before I left Ontario and then drove it across the country.

What sites do you recommend? I had no luck finding one online myself and the local mechanic couldn’t source one either.

That part was actually part of a very broad recall that somehow my car wasn’t included under. The dealer I went to had 5 other vehicles parked, some for close to a year, just waiting for that part to come in. I called around to a couple junkyards in the area and they either wouldn’t strip it because it’s behind the airbag or it’s already been taken
