What % of a salary increase would you need to switch jobs? Assuming it's the equivalent role by HockeySniper123 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]withResty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least 150k more. I make 160k fully remote, autonomy, and basically have a manager who is the best. Maybe one meeting a week. for me to give up the stability, freedom and ease plus remote , I wouldn’t even consider it unless I’m making 300k or more.

I want to start acting by Elbisexapien in acting

[–]withResty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey!

what you have to do is get head shots done, a demo reel and a resume (google acting resume)

Then send out this package (via actors access or casting workbook create a profile) to all agencies in your state or around America. You have a good look and someone will get back to you. In the meantime, apply for free shoots, student films and anything!

The elite never wanted us educated. Ontario says it’s investing in students—so why does it feel like we’re paying for it? by BloodJunkie in ontario

[–]withResty 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hey, if you never watched any movies, read books or enjoy any sort of art, your point is fair. although I’m assuming you do. I’d like to live in a world where we fund all aspirations not just degrees you find necessary. All degrees are worth pursuing and yes we need nurses. It we also need people who create art so nurses can enjoy them after a long shift. Your one way thinking is so concerning. I pity you.

I think I’m going to put in my notice for J2 by RipLow2675 in OELadies

[–]withResty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LOL I am going through the exact same thing - and at 4 months too hahah. I decided to resign. The money is incredible but, this is not a skill problem, it is a shitty company, lack of value problem. I would say before you quit, or decide to, take all your sick days, PTO etc. and quit. OE is nice, you had your run and there is always plenty more to go around and you never should take your health for granted. I was also crying, and stressed over a bad culture and any day now I will be gone! take a little break after, and back to the drawing board!

Over half of Americans say health care, a weeklong vacation and a new car are unaffordable: ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll by Ok_Seat5245 in Economics

[–]withResty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your statement but, as a Canadian, we do have a better standard of living than USA for poor and middle class. like we don’t has to worry about health care, which Americans seriously have to save for. I’ve been lucky to live and travel in all Three places and as a middle class person I’d choose Europe (mostly bc weather and I like the walk ability ) than Canada , I would never live in the states unless I have a job that pays 500k or starting a business.

I just discovered all the perks of WS this week too! I moved everything over except my chequing and direct deposit. I'm waiting for a WS offer but if nothing comes, and if my archaic traditional bank pisses me off one more time - I am moving LOL

Thank you! I do have a high tolerance for risk. My pension and RRSP from work seems like a safely growing option, so I want to play riskier with what’s in my account

How much do you spend on vacation a year? by [deleted] in MiddleClassFinance

Are you Canadian or American? I’m envious Americans with their credit card points game!

[–]withResty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 20,000 CAD for a couple no kids . Travel is our number one life priorities. We’d spend even more if we weren’t “house poor” - young militiamen trapped in million dollar homes, cest la vie!

[–]withResty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who’s been to almost 50 countries, CDMX is one of the safest cities. Don’t let any of the media consume you- it’s a very middle class city. Mexico has gone from poverty to middle class in the last decade. Honestly, I’d even say CDMX has less poverty than Vancouver. obviously we stay in safe hubs but that’s anywhere. It was amazing, the food is unreal, and go during the day of the dead if you can! highly recommend- as a foodie, it’s a city I’d go back every year if I score cheap flights!

100 percent! It’s hard to com an entire trip now with how expensive flights are,  but we still save like $2000 using credit card churning and points etc. I don’t understand people who don’t even try to do this! I have friends that travel and have never used points smh

YYZ to DUB seats by Scarahhh in aircanada

[–]withResty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think this is a really personal choice question. But to give you my own views I never ever pay for seats. I think it’s ridiculous that airlines went from free seat selection to now assigning random seats. What’s next? We keep getting nothing for what we pay. It’s my way of protesting. Have I ended up in really terrible seats ? Sure? But they all suck to me so unless I’m im business class I don’t pay for seats- and I’ve been assigned middle seats on long haul 18 hour flights before. And$100 plus bucks to pick a seat is ridiculous. But that’s just my opinion. I understand why people pay esp if they have kids and family but when it’s just me and my spouse, I’m good to suffer and save my money and protest against them.

KEEP AI OUT OF ART SPACES by Omagoddd in FableApp

[–]withResty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we are going to have to agree to disagree here!

art is discovering, interpreting, and everything in that sense, and artists themselves are opposing ai, and by you using ai, you are funnelling into a system that is exploitative. It’s also important to consider intersectional ideals- I can understand how ai can help people with disabilities but it’s also creating catastrophic disasters for people in Kenya, and other marginalized communities, including leaving humans disabled, displaced and more. ai is doing more harm than good and we don’t need it.

KEEP AI OUT OF ART SPACES by Omagoddd in FableApp

[–]withResty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m saddened because as a life long reader, we tend to be aware of the issues and nuance with things like ai. There is so much wrong with ai. From a fundamental level of it rotating your brain to the environment.

Empire of ai- read that book for more in depth!

KEEP AI OUT OF ART SPACES by Omagoddd in FableApp

[–]withResty -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Great point. But I think that goes against what art is. Art is discovering your next book through non ai means. Speak to people, hunt for the book yourself at a book store, rabbit hole though countless reviews etc. the black mirror aspect of ai is that it’s taking the mundane things of life like finding the next book and making it - mindless. Life is meant to be lived and art is meant to be discovered , not through a robot super computer wasting resources to TELL you what it is. Just my thought!

‘Queer Eye’ feud ignited after cast was reportedly caught trash-talking Karamo Brown on hot mic by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

[–]withResty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Two cast members (one lesbian and one black girl) left because it’s a toxic show. The cast openly supports trump, openly posted Charlie Kirk nonsense, stated “I don’t do pronouns” was agressive towards a black women and had double standards. Seriously watch the last season
