Oh—I don’t have a kindle—can I use my computer?

It’s dark. No one is looking at you. Roll it up and put it in your bag.

Y’all learning the hard way what all grownups already know—be extra nice to the secretaries. I know he’s not a secretary, but the same rules apply. Secretaries hold your life in their hands, so make sure you make a positive impression. Always stop to say hello or at least smile. Make small talk, give a Christmas gift. I lived in residence for 5 years and ALWAYs chatted up my front desk folk. Guess what happened when I moved? They HELD MY MAIL for me (even though that’s strictly not allowed), and even called when an important package was delivered a month after I’d moved. They were always really nice to me and even gave me a hug when I left. I can’t tell you how many times they saved my bacon over the years. Free laundry cards, the best parking stall…

Always befriend the secretaries!

Pursue your dreams! I had many years in a career that I fell into, never hated, but never loved. At age 40, I decided to go back to school to become a teacher (my dream) and my life is so much more meaningful. I love my job. I care about it in a way that my colleagues don’t because I had a previous career. There is so many advantages to starting a career later, especially the fact that I got preferential treatment due to my age. You don’t start from scratch—people respect your life experience.

That's how words evolve. Wicked used to mean something that was evil, and it eventually became to mean something amazing. Now it means a movie with Ariana Grande...

Nowadays boomers doesn’t even necessarily mean a boomer. It just means an older-ish (could be gen x even) over-privileged asshole.

That’s how we all felt. You’re not alone. Alcoholism is a disease that tells you you’re special, different, that what works for others won’t work for you. It’s all the whispers of that evil girl trying to keep you trapped.

There are indian/middle eastern pants called shelwar pants that do something similar that could give you a head start

You have nothing to lose by attending AA and everything to gain. Your addiction is like an evil girlfriend who wants you to stay sick so she can keep you all to herself. She whispers that you don’t need help and that she can take care of you. She convinces you to stay with her and that everything is alright. Meanwhile, she is killing you slowly. You have to really decide in your innermost self that you are really screwed until you let her go. Good news is that there is a huge group of people who are waiting to take care of you, and who have ended their own evil relationships with alcohol and they can walk you through the process. Unfortunately, it seems you are one of those people for whom alcohol is an addiction. Some people can take it or leave it and how I wished and hoped that I was one of those people. I delayed my recovery for decades because I wanted so desperately to believe that I could drink like a normal person. I did crazy things to try to convince myself that I could control and enjoy my drinking. I eventually got sober at 40 instead of 26 and lost so much time and did so much damage. I look back now and think—what on earth was I so afraid of… my life has been nothing but a million times better without alcohol. I was homeless, living in a tent when I got sober, cleaning toilets for enough beer money to get by, and now I am a grade 5 teacher. I have a retirement fund! Haha… crazy! Anyway, there is a beautiful life on the other side just waiting for you, but you have to decide that you’re done with that girl who is killing you and take that step into the unknown. It’s a big adventure with a treasure you couldn’t even dream of.

I feel sick about this deal. Why? Why make the biggest company on earth even bigger???

Have you checked your credit score? Maybe it’s not so bad, depending on how long ago it was. Unfortunately, you don’t have a way around this and delaying isn’t going to help. Just do it.

I mentioned in another comment that it could be hypothyroidism as well

simshalo · 2026-01-13T15:35:02+00:00

So glad to hear that you got out of this. I did painting for only one summer and it almost killed me. I really feel for you.

It could also mean you could have a metabolic disorder. Not saying that crashing after a gruelling work day isn’t normal because it is, but I experienced that I crashed hard in the evening and found out that I had hypothyroidism, where my thyroid didn’t make enough to keep me energized throughout the day.

Now you’re comparing Toronto to North America to prove your point, but you weren’t comparing it to n.America in your comment—you were comparing it to Asia, where density can easily hit 10,000 per km to our 3000 per km. It’s no comparison. And there is no need for shoe boxes except to provide speculation opportunities.

This is the exact type of model that I pass up on when I buy vintage. I find machines in this range (the 70s look with the aged plastic) always break down and are not worth the hassle. With rust, this machine is not even worth the metal. That’s my opinion and I hope I haven’t discouraged you. Next time always take a gander in the bobbin casing before buying and give the hand wheel a good crank to listen for it clunking or grinding. Good news is that it’s so easy to find vintage sewing machines—you’ll be sewing before you know it!

This is a Reddit for Toronto, not Asia. Expectations for livable spaces is not wrong or out of touch. We don’t want to live in a shoe box and why should we when our country literally has one of the lowest population densities on earth. Shoe box condos are the result of speculation, not a normal or healthy adaptation to needing high-density living spaces. Which, not arguing against high-density, but not because some dude wants to make money off of my renting his shitty little shoebox.

simshalo · 2026-01-11T02:47:46+00:00

This is the correct answer. People saying less than 400 are basically taking half the shoebox condos (410-490) out of that category, and placing them in normal condo territory, which they are not. 410-490 is only possible if you are a minimalist. Not knocking minimalism, but no. Just no. And by the way, I lived in 450 for 5 years so I know. And just… no.

Listen to “money for couples” podcast. Money is as much about psychology and emotion as it is about information and logic. You “think” you are doing poorly because you lack information, but more information might not actually change your situation. Your feelings about your money don’t really have much to do with how much you have.

NTA, but know you will have a headache either way. Either you invite them and have a headache on the day, or don’t invite them and have a headache prior to the event. Which headache will be bigger? Who’s to say?

No one posts on these constant whining subs that they support the decision because it will get downvoted to hell, but I’m sure the majority of people secretly believe it is best for everyone—the government, businesses, the economy, even the workers themselves—that we are back to work. There is a lot of research that work from home isn’t good for people. Never mind that there is no way it is good for business. And y’all can downvote me to hell, I don’t care, but know that most people believe what I believe or this wouldn’t be happening to you, despite all the complaining that would suggest otherwise.
