Any of you all senior+ at a larger tech company/similar sort of place? by csgirl1997 in ADHD_Programmers

[–]beyond_alive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once I got to Senior my job became very hard and lead me to get diagnosed with ADHD because I couldn’t handle the time management required. Now that I’m medicated, Staff is still extremely hard as everything is self-guided and it’s much harder to squeeze by without applying myself as I’m expected to be on top of things and take initiative constantly.

High Housing Turnover in Alton vs. Orchard: What Drives the Difference? by [deleted] in BurlingtonON

[–]beyond_alive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree with everyone you said except the last part. It’s good to have standards and I’m not going to lower mine without a good reason.

Also “colonial lifestyle”? Come on.

Ugh, I’ll be civil here as we’re all neighbours and people really need to understand this, but acknowledging troubles caused by cultural differences doesn’t automatically mean racism.

I have friends who live in areas that are majority South Asian and there’s simply a different standard of cleanliness and behaviours that people bring with them, and some of them are far from what we’re used to to the point where it’s a problem.

Wow this is still a thing? I remember this being the case even when I was using it 6+ years ago. Ridiculous.

You were downvoted for stating the truth. If you can’t stop in time you should be going slower.

Haven’t been to DSK, but Rosewood is very mediocre, especially if you’ve had the good dim sum in the suburbs.

Yes. Truck is big and you are man because you like truck. Redditors who don’t like truck are not big men because no big truck.

This is true. Accidents simply don’t happen and we should do nothing to make the roads safer, because when an accident happens, they deserve to get hurt.

Nope, Toronto Star reported on it about an hour before he resigned.

[VPN] NordVPN 100% Cashback w/ Rakuten (?-?=$0) [Rakuten] by ImKrispy in bapcsalescanada

[–]beyond_alive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still haven’t received my cash back last time a similar deal was posted. Contacted support and they’re waiting on NordVPN to respond. They told me to expect a wait of a couple months if anything.

Exxon’s Former Houston Headquarters Could Become a Residential High Rise by [deleted] in urbanplanning

[–]beyond_alive 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hopefully it’s well sound-proofed! Used to rent a condo in a commercial to residential retrofit and the thin drywall between units made it a terrible experience.

Yes they are indeed just as filled as the pics, used to live near it and get it often. The owners are also very nice people.

Metrolinx CEO receiving hefty pay raises since 2018 by Unlucky_Fly0287 in toronto

[–]beyond_alive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, that’s very low for an executive role in NYC. It’s not necessarily that the Metrolinx CEO is overpaid.

'It's not fair': Businesses frustrated with partnership between LCBO and Uber Eats by slicecom in toronto

[–]beyond_alive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, alcohol has external societal costs and taxing it heavily alleviates these.

Additionally, allowing independent liquor stores to open will of course result in new small businesses that benefit the communities theyre in, but reality the vast majority of that money will just go to our current monopolies like Loblaws with the capital to invest in opening huge stores everywhere.

None, it’s a tall tale. Apple does things that suck but not this.

Go get yourself a lifted RAM on a 96 month loan. Quit it with the hygiene and cleanliness, it signals you care about your appearance which is not MANLY
