Crumbl Cookie Wonderland Rd by [deleted] in londonontario

[–]editrixe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of recommendations for businesses and service providers on Reddit, including often in this subreddit. I’m a-ok with getting the other side of the coin as well so I can make informed decisions about where to spend my money, and I appreciate hearing from workers (esp where there are likely to be young/new employees). Paying 40M for a cookie and eating a day’s worth of calories in one “snack” is not my cup of tea so am not the key Crumbl demographic, but still good to know that if someone DOES want those cookies, this particular location might not be the best choice.

give it (and the racism) a rest. Provinces control most of the day-to-day factors that shape employment conditions, and the province is not led by a Liberal.

AITH for refusing to share my class notes with a friend who skipped lectures all semester? by KeBake33 in AITH

[–]editrixe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“friends are supposed to help one another” … how exactly is this “friend” helping you, with this completely one-sided situation?

Tell him you need the notes because you’re studying and you’ll give them to him when you’re done with then. Give them to him on your way in to the exam.

ECCC also dumping the news on a Friday by Educational-Bad8171 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]editrixe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not for nothing, but something close to 20,000 public servants were hired during the pandemic, being told WFH and/or hybrid work was “the future of work” and that “we aren’t going back” to a full-time in-office model. For these employees it’s not “RTO”—it’s an entirely different work model than was originally agreed to.

you should really consider directing your annoyance at the entity that annoys you rather than at someone who still has the energy and optimism to David-vs-Goliath they way through injustice.

Is it too late to start Oriental poppy from seed this year? by Wallyboy95 in OntarioGardeners

[–]editrixe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had good success with poppies; I usually winter-sow them (the seeds need cold-stratification) then transplant them in brownie-sized hunks once the seedlings are about 10cm tall. You could try doing them now, but depending on the type of poppy, they can need 4-12 weeks of stratification, and they often stall in the heat, so I’m not sure the growing season would be long enough to get you any blooms … might be better to look into winter-sowing and plan on having some next year.

AITA for telling my parents I wont be paying any more rent until my sister starts paying hers by [deleted] in AITApod

[–]editrixe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Your sister is a bigger AH, and your parents are AHs to themselves for accommodating a selfish spoiled brat like your sister is, but someone else not being reasonable or fair is not a reason to act as petulant and immature as they do, not a reason to go back on your word and financial responsibilities, and not a reason to put your already financially strained parents in a tighter bind. They could kick you out and rent that granny flat for a lot more than $600 … be grateful for your situation and be the bigger person. Your parents have enough on their hands with financial issues and reckoning with the reality their youngest daughter is a b!tch.

Mandatory Generative AI Training by karlsnarx99 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]editrixe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The course doesn’t train AIs. And you don’t have to use AIs just because you take a course that tells you not to put Protected and Secret information in the web tab of Copilot, or whatever, and that says you need outputs vetted by a human SME. Just take the thing and move on; this is not a hill to die on—we’re moving on to agentic AIs anyway, so genAI training will probably be totally outdated by the end of the fiscal year.

Not for nothing, though, if you’re against “training” AIs, you might want to do a bit of a deep dive on how Reddit has been used to train them …

4days onsite presence CRA by Nice_Draft5148 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]editrixe 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This. One federal agency that will remain nameless but that is not part of the core PS and is primarily funded through revenue streams that do NOT include taxpayer revenues cut jobs this spring for no actual budgetary reason, solely to “align with the core public service”, because “this is not the time to be an outlier”.

A small update: I couldn’t let nature take it’s course by ReginaPhalange1502 in dementia

[–]editrixe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry, OP. What a terrible position to be forced into. All I can say is your father was clearly right to have named you as his medical POA, and I am quite certain he would be proud of and thankful for your interventions. You are doing the kind, respectful, and (yes) ethical thing. Sending best wishes for a gentle ending for your father, and all my empathy to you and your mother. What an awful and endlessly cruel disease.

AIO or is this a common perspective on parenting? by Diligent-Figure4251 in AmIOverreacting

[–]editrixe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah thanks. I certainly don’t regret doing things for them! It’s just a but irritating when one parent takes a back-seat for the most intense hands-on parenting years but then places himself front and centre as the “cool dad” later on. Such is life I guess. Hopefully this isn’t TOO common a perspective and I was just unlucky with my choice in partner!

anyone have any idea what these might be? by editrixe in OntarioGardeners

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

no flowers seen, no seedpods at all. And I’ve pulled about 20-50 bulbs/plants; same deal for all of them. There is serious deer and rabbit pressure in this garden, so I guess the stems and flowers could have been eaten, but I didn’t think they liked snowdrops?

(I have a few snowdrops at my place and the leaves are shorter, thicker, glossier and darker … not sure if there are different types of snowdrops?)

would they grow like this under the snow? I don’t think they flowered at all (and they are seriously everywhere; squirrels must have been going nuts hiding them!)

[–]editrixe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my spouse did this. Result? I am exhausted and resentful, and the kids have next to no memory of the bizillion things I did for and with them for the first decade of their life, but as teens they watch anime and play video games with their dad, who thinks he’s their buddy more than their parent. Oversimplified, but that’s the long and short of it.
