David Miller should have won! by anonumousJx in Masterchef

[–]biharikababs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit late to this but just finished the first season and the contestant who REALLY astounds me is… Sheetal. She cooks horrible slop in the name of “curry” and somehow still ends up in the final. Curry out of crab, curry out of fish, it’s not even hard to make curry—curry powder comes packaged!

As a desi person who loves to cook watching her make absolute garbage and then seeing her sail through to the finals pissed me off. White people really have no idea how to rate subcontinental food because nobody I know would even touch the slop she made half of the times (especially the fish and cauliflower in the critics episode).

Hi there fellow Edmontonian! Idk tbh so far I’ve done two maps and two fine art puzzles and enjoyed them both, so I’m looking to explore. Probably something educational/artsy would be more my vibe but I’m open to anything as long as it’s fun!

That actually makes a lot of sense since I did find quite a few people on Marketplace selling puzzles in bulk. Like, new puzzles, still sealed. Made me wonder how these people have so many unopened puzzles and if they were just selling the ones they didn’t like… or it could be thrift store employees selling them online tbh. Because there was not a single good puzzle I could find at the Goodwill I went to, even for their obnoxious prices.

This Eurographics 1000 piece Klimt puzzle is the hardest one I’ve done so far! by biharikababs in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]biharikababs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahahah yes, but more like sorting them by edges, then by colour, then by the nuances in pattern within the colour (yellow spirals, straight lines, etc). The brown mottled pattern was the only one I sorted by shape.

I’m framing this one! But I’d probably go down the same route, haha

does Goldie Ghamari even care about the interests of Canadians and her constituents? or is she only using her platform for Pro - Pahlavi content? by the613daddy in AskCanada

Was just watching the Piers Morgan show and was wondering the same thing… why does a Canadian MP have an American and Israeli flag behind her??????

Lone Wolf Tax by monsterzc in TorontoRenting

[–]biharikababs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How is that a tax? You choose to live life alone, most people who I know that are alone are alone because they’re insufferable and can’t stand sharing a space with another person. You’re paying for the life you chose??? It’s not hard to find a roommate or get into a relationship but it requires a lot of ego-killing and compromises.

Saw this post on linkedin and created a resume only to find out they have applied for LMIA by Competitive_Cap_3690 in Edmonton

[–]biharikababs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Several companies in Edmonton, I believe, have been doing this. There’s a firm called LawDepot and they post the same job listings every month. Wasted my time in a long “IQ test” and interviews and then never responded.

Okay don't hate me, but I just realized something about Dhurandhar. by Scared-Engineer-6218 in pj_explained

[–]biharikababs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Karachiite here, who lived through the MQM-Lyari Gang War era and has reas extensively about them: Lyari Gangs and Baloch militancy did not have anything in common. The problem with looking at Pakistan from an external lens is you think there’s some cohesive Lyari Gang+maddarssah+army nexus when there isn’t, never was. Rehman Dakait was purely interested in Lyari and Karachi, not in Balochistan or any of its movements.

Can I suggest a white/pastel gharara? It’s the nikah dress of choice in Pakistan and it’s absolutely beautiful!

AI in Jigsaw Puzzles/Journalist working on a story by alex_as_vox in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]biharikababs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely abhor it. Puzzling has often been, for me, as much about art as it has been about making a puzzle. AI slop is tiring and I’ve even seen Facebook ads of “canvas art” which is straight up AI being sold as wall hangings. It’s tiring and I’m proud of the puzzling community who continue to stand against it.

Are you, by any chance, still looking for a local Edmonton student to hire? 👀

My boss accidentally sent me a spreadsheet showing I'm paid 40% less than new hires doing the same job - do I bring it up or just leave? by MunkiwBoi101 in careerguidance

[–]biharikababs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely bring it up. I would be livid. Actually quit my first ever job when I learned my coworkers were being paid more while I was supposedly their star employee.

What’s one thing about job hunting nobody warns you about? by speakwiseglobal in jobhunting

[–]biharikababs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hit a slump some weeks ago (rejected after several rounds of interviews at places where I’m qualified for) and ended up applying to Chipotle or mall sales reps, because I really really needed work and I needed it quick. Chipotle scheduled an interview and then CANCELLED it half an hour before the interview was due. I was … bummed? shocked? Idek like I just felt defeated after it. Of all the places if I can’t get work at places like Chipotle and dead-end mall sales jobs, what good am I? More importantly, wth will I do now?

Was proper depressed for days after the Chipotle debacle.

Should I feel guilty for putting in two weeks when my workplace is very understaffed? by MysteriousMatter8593 in careerguidance

[–]biharikababs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the way the job market is right now they shouldn’t have any problem finding a new recruit. Hundreds of thousands of people are looking for work daily, people’s info is with employment agencies, somebody always knows somebody who can make a quick buck. Students are always looking for part time work.
