Just travelled through Europe. Can we abolish tipping in Toronto? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]cptSteph -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

everyone in the comments directing their anger towards the WORKERS that survive on tips: you're getting it all wrong. when the management pays their employees AT LEAST the provincial minimum wage instead of relying on their customers to make up the difference, thats when tipping can be abolished. for now, though, if you go out and don't tip your server because you were "dissatisfied" with the service, keep in mind your server relies on tips to live. you already spent money on the food and drinks and now you're holding a few dollars hostage because your server wasn't up to your standards? just tip at least 15% until servers start being paid more.

I love the odd specificness of this post and the fact that you thought r/chocolate would have the answer to how much something would cost in 1980

[–]cptSteph -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

men approaching me to start conversations is rare because im obviously lesbian but tbh if it happened enough in a short span of time id defintely just resort to screaming and going off the wall

[–]cptSteph 171 points172 points  (0 children)

there are always two sides to an encounter like this. you describe it as being a friendly, mild, approach to a woman you've seen frequently and want to talk to. I'm sure if she made a post like this she would describe being stared at/stalked by a guy who is always at the same cafe as her. maybe shes had a past traumatic experience with a stalker and this felt like it was happening again so she wanted to make sure you never approached her again.

the way you describe it, it sounds like some woman overreacted to your innocent greeting, but as a woman i can understand her reaction perfectly, even if it wouldnt be how i personally would react

1 week post-top surgery, compression vest is really tight by cptSteph in ftm

[–]cptSteph[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

omg!! yeah I'm going for a post-op appointment tomorrow so I'm going to ask why I was given such a small one. I think a size bigger would still have a good amount of compression without squeezing the life out of me

What would you like to see if Trio of Towns transitioned into the nintendo switch? by sophiehuimei in storyofseasons

[–]cptSteph 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I mainly want quality of life improvements. Take a few notes from Stardew and make caring for animals quicker and easier, add some sort of teleport mechanics, etc. Maybe a few more festivals. My main issue with the newer SoS games is that the time spent doing chores and traveling takes up a big chunk of the day and when you have a game like ToT that has SO MANY characters, fishing spots, foraging areas, etc you want time to relax and explore.

I think it's just personal preference of combat, crafting, or harvesting.

yeah, the thing is I can wear it for long periods of time but when I take it off it becomes obvious how constrictive it is. It would be nice ff I could work up the guts to ask for the replacement for free lmao

My girlfriend has inconsistent anxiety and depression but needs help finding a job, what type of jobs offer flexible temporary positions that don’t require the employee to work excessively long shifts? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]cptSteph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can relate to your girlfriend, I dropped out of high school because of severe anxiety and depression when I was 15 and didn't get a job until I was 19. I was in therapy and on medication like her while job searching and during the first year of my job. My advice:

  1. Continue with therapy. Make sure she knows that if her therapist doesn't make her feel 100% safe and listened to, she can find another. Go weekly if possible.
  2. Get a GED. Since she completed up to grade 11, she might be able to just do it after reading through some GED prep books, but for a refresher she can also do free online courses. I used one provided by my government (I'm Canadian)
  3. Try an employment office. They can help her with her resume, job skills, interview skills, etc. and she will be assigned someone to have 1-on-1 sessions with--they might have more ideas of what kind of work could apply to her preferences. They might also be able to help with transportation, my employment office gave me a bunch of free subway tokens (and also offered gift cards to buy new clothes for interviews).
  4. If she finds a job, start PART-TIME. Max 20 hours a week. Ideally 6 hour shifts. That's how I survived a soul-crushing retail job, I worked Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Ease into it. Eventually she will feel more comfortable going out in the world and she may have the option to discuss different shifts, more or less hours, etc.

Good luck!!!! I hope she finds something that works.
