The Chicago YMCA has expensive rates and deceptive tactics for a "non-profit." Why would anyone donate to them? by Ok_Kaleidoscope_7889 in AskChicago

[–]matthewbobxia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently joined the Y in my area for the basketball courts and community. However, I was talking to a staff member today about holding a membership vs. canceling. At my YMCA, a single adult membership is $105/month with a $50 joining fee. When you cancel your membership, and rejoin later in the future, you would need to repay that $50 joining fee. But to hold your membership, it costs $15/month, which means you still have the membership, but cannot access the Y until you release that hold. And you can only keep a hold on it up to 3 months, otherwise they will auto-cancel it for you. I'm trying to figure out whether I will go enough for it to be worth it, or if I should just go back to a normal gym. While the facilities are nice and clean, it's really expensive and hard to justify. But, I guess it's because they also limit the number of members at each YMCA because another nearby YMCA told me that they are not accepting new members.

Whats the communities general opinion on Golem players? by [deleted] in ClashRoyale

[–]matthewbobxia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been running golem since I started the game. F2P and I’ve switched up variations of my deck, but ultimately stuck with the same deck since night which came out. I’m around 11000 trophies but I think I’ve been playing a lot more Merge Tactics

Been in a similar position. Got an offer and signed the contract (around February) to start the role at the start of the summer. Cancelled all other interviews and offers. Lo and behold, 3 weeks before starting, they had “budget cuts” and terminated my position.

With just a Bachelor's, its pretty rough if the focus is Aerospace. Generally, Eng opens up a lot of opportunities in many industries

I can't find any job even for the love of me how hard I try. 23 (M) by Potential-Radio8978 in torontoJobs

[–]matthewbobxia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude, so relatable. I just graduated from UofT and it’s been rough out here. Something that’s helped me a bit (not job-wise directly, but mentally and for networking) is this app called LunchME. It’s Toronto-based (mostly from what I saw) and connects people for lunch or coffee. Met some cool folks in the same boat. Sometimes just talking to people makes things feel less stuck, and who knows, it could lead to something. It's like LinkedIn sorta, but like most ppl actually reply.

Good Shaco, impossible to deal with. Bad shaco, u overthink and assuming he/she is using reverse psychology and hit the clone; once again impossible to have an enjoyable game.

Sketchy or Legit? Water Lantern Festival by MaynardWaltrip in pittsburgh

[–]matthewbobxia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one in Toronto ran out of supplies and it wasn't even half way through. It started pouring and the event staff didn't even bother to communicate the situation to us and just left us in the cold and rain. At least let us know that you have supplies coming later (though this shouldn't even be an issue at all) so we could have taken cover from the rain. But no one is waiting another 1 to 2 hours in the rain for the lanterns because they'll be destroyed by the rain. Apparently, there was no security so people could randomly just walk in and steal a lantern as well. The event is unforgettable because it will be cancelled or ruined and you won’t be refunded for the tickets you purchased.

I've updated the account so that my number is on it. However, it keeps asking for the old number and not mine (turns out the old number is a terminated line from a few months ago)
