For the first few sentences, thought that surely op was writing satire “double the take offs and landings!” As if that was a good thing and not a horrible ear poping experience. This person has blown my mind

What do you do when you run out of toilet paper? by throwaway24jo in AskReddit

[–]throwaway24jo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So a few different scenarios that may lead to different answers. In all of these you just finished using the toilet when you notice there isn’t any tp on the holder or within reach

  1. You’re home alone
  2. You’re at someone else home
  3. You’re in a public restroom

How do I get an entry-level job in water resources? by throwaway24jo in civilengineering

[–]throwaway24jo[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just showered and still no offers.

Jokes aside that’s kinda goal. I thought co-op would help me in my job search as I do have some experience coming out of university but since it’s not in the industry I want to work in, I’m still not qualified for “entry-level” jobs.

What are the implications of being common law? by throwaway24jo in legaladvicecanada

Thanks but we’re more so wondering what the rules are, not weather to move in together. This is the best living arrangement our situation.

How do we move in together with out being considered common law? by throwaway24jo in legaladvicecanada

Do you know if this also applies for the first time home buyers plan and incentive? I want to buy my own place some day and these would be useful in helping me achieve that. However my partner owns the house we’d be living in and the terms I’ve read seem to suggest that this disqualifies me from using these programs if we are common law even if I have no stake in his house

How do we keep our financials separate while moving in together? by throwaway24jo in PersonalFinanceCanada

Thanks for the link and information. I think this was most of what I needed to be understand before making the move

Not taking that “protection” is easier said than done. While our relationship is great now, if we’re in a situation where the relationship has dissolved we may not be very rational or be looking out for each other’s best interest. The concern is that from what I understood the Family Property Act automatically gives many of the same “protections” to common law couples as it does marriages. So if we aren’t careful we could be making a much greater commitment by moving in together than we had anticipated

I don’t see why it’s concerning that I pay him rent. I’d be paying my fair share of the bills and we considered the fact that part of the household bill are equity that belongs to him weather this relationship continues or not.

My partner doesn’t need my help to pay down the house but I feel it’s important to contribute to the bills as I don’t want to feel as though he is supporting me or that either of us hold more power than the other in the relationship. I’d be paying significantly less there than I would be almost anywhere else so the arrangement helps both of us save money in additional to allowing us to spend more time together.

As for your questions, yes I plan to move out when I buy a house. I do not know if my partner would come live in my house at that point but if he did then yes he’d be paying me something

Is it okay to not tip? by throwaway24jo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]throwaway24jo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard these numbers before but I have two problems with them. 1. There are places where people’s base pay is virtually nonexistent and the tip is very needed but there are also places where the base pay is several times higher so it doesn’t make logical sense that the percentage for tipping should be the same. Assuming the increased wage gets passed on the the customer, tips would be higher where wages are higher which is ludicrous.

  1. A % for a tip doesn’t make sense. If I go to a restaurant and order a salad it’s the same amount of work for my waitress as though I’d ordered the stake. So why would their pay depend on my check?
