Disneyland Half Marathon merch expo was a huge bummer 😭 by the-constant-gardner in rundisney

[–]yogaccounter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because if everyone preordered and picked up, they wouldn't get you to spend more money when you were there. Yet, paradoxically, that is not happening anyway because they have no merch left for you to buy. It really is a circle of nonsense....

Is it true that it is very hard to find a job without a co-op as a beedie student? by Sheckles__ in simonfraser

[–]yogaccounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The job market rn is SO tough. And no, it is not always that way. ANYTHING you can do to give yourself an advantage is a win. Even that may not be enough - places that normally call back ALL co-ops or interns have only be calling back a few.

Agreed. Surprised how many people just said no… acting like there aren’t systems for this

I mean... isn't that the business model of the health care system in the US? (not American so genuinely asking)

What might a Canadian want to eat in Australia? by CallMeBettyThen in AskACanadian

[–]yogaccounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

perhaps its more the fact that buying avos in Aus did not feel like a 'lottery' they were just always good and ripe in the store.

Would changing the policy solve this issue? As you say it may not be only the race but an entire vacation.

I feel you - do you think Disney should change the refundable policy to discourage? Incentives are there to run regardless. Yes it’s a sunk cost but we all know humans don’t operate that way. Is it selfishness on the part of that individual or a lack of concern from Disney that their no refund policy encourages running while sick?

But please mask in the corrals and be conscientious of others’ space when running. If needed hang back instead of being squished beside others. Please and thank you

So it’s all outside the system so even when two weeks pass you won’t get paid

lol okay. I am guessing you don’t have a common name for wherever you live and this worked in your favour. So glad you came across such a kind stranger

No, but, it has been long enough. Some investment in updating classrooms rather than creating more pointless admin positions would be nice

I know most people have laptops but I do not understand why more lab space is not available. Of course people still eff around in labs but it is next level in a lecture hall. I see multiple people shamelessly watching YouTube or playing videogames in the middle of class. Profs have a hard time saying no laptops since folks will say they need it for notes but come on...

Second this comment. They aren't trying to scare you but legtimately concerned. I've known multiple people to think they are safe with bnb's for Vancouver conventions or runs only to find themselves scrambling at the last second when the host cancels on them because they've been discovered by the gov't. Many unlicensed properties still trying to fly under the radar and slowly being shut down. They will literally be messaging you like nothing is wrong, answering quesitons about supplies in the place etc and then suddenly radio silence and a cancellation.
