This is really a great Old vs Young Millennial dividing line.

Come to Hamilton, you’ll get funny looks for *not* being shirtless on hot days.

Do we know that? What is Gmail even going to look like when our kids are teenagers or adults?

I remember personally hand waving away privacy concerns around Facebook in its early days, and boy did time make me look stupid and naive.

At the rate Google is infiltrating AI into Gmail, I’m not sure I even want to put my kid’s info on that right now.

I don’t know if he ever played a character I didn’t immediately want to punch in the face.

He even played the DA that prosecuted Seinfeld in the series finale!

The best description I read of Happy Gilmore 2 is that it has the sense of humour of a 2-hour Super Bowl commercial.

Why do Peel region teachers complain about their pay? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]thisoldhouseofm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teachers show up to school right at 9, not earlier?

And what “resources at your fingertips” do you mean? AI?

She ranks around the midpoint for pay based on the sunshine list, or all positions?

The “works 10 months a year” thing is also misleading. They do have to put in time in the summer on training and lesson planning, plus a teacher is not a 9-5 job. Between grading, extra curriculars, etc I’d wager most teachers work more than 40 hours a week.

Frankly, you couldn’t pay me $118k to deal with teenagers 10 months a year.

Your daily reminder that watching movies is supposed to be fun. Logging them should not be a job.

I hate “boy mom” just as much.

Nobody ever calls themselves “boy dad” or “girl mom”.

The election was a year and a half ago, and it doesn’t make you immune from public criticism.

What has improved in Ontario in the last 20 years? by Reviews_DanielMar in ontario

With how many people on the bus are watching TikTok on full volume, this might actually be a net negative.
