  • I'm working on a 2.5 year degree to upgrade my credentials while working part time and i've been on autopilot/pause the entire time. I can't remember the last time I did something because I wanted to do it and not because i had to or it was in my schedule. Oh well I'm almost done, my remedy will be a nice vacation and having evenings and weekends back.

  • I saw an ULTP a while back about making your font colour the same as the paper/background (white) and spamming a bunch of key words and skills that the AI is looking for to get your resume sorted to the top of the pile. I've considered doing that but I already have a good resume for my field.

  • I gained an appreciation for how precise/sharp our tools are when I learned microtomy. If you so much as touch the cutting edge with anything outside of its intended use it messes up that area of the blade instantly. Same goes for a nice pair of chef's knives.

  • Thats what I find so frustrating! If I were the NDP right now I'd be going all out with ads and a plan of action! I want to hear something different for once instead of maintaining the status quo. They have a golden opportunity to leap frog over the libs and get some momentum. We've been complaining about the same issues over and over for years, you'd think at least someone would try to leverage that! I hope they don't just roll over and let pierre waltz into the leadership position I can't stand that guy at all!

  • I've lived in Canada my whole life and lived comfortably up until Covid hit. After the pandemic everything went completely out of whack. My grocery bill tripled, the cost of everything exploded, and we're experiencing a housing apocalypse (crisis isn't the correct word anymore). Canada is basically 3 corporations in a trench coat and we're heading in all the wrong directions.

    What we need is a complete housing rugpull and to kneecap grocery chains or to increase wages to keep up with corporate greed but I don't think thats going to happen. I've also seen a bunch of anti-worker policies become popular in general like leaning on contract/part time work so employers don't have to pay out benefits and pensions. I could go on and on about that lol. Anyway a lot of people I know straight up left the country and get paid way more to do less work and live in much more affordable conditions, I myself might be doing that soon. Basically its a lot of short-sighted thinking resulting in massive brain drain where I work. I think most of our problems stem from unchecked corporate greed across every industry and we have to put up with it because most major companies operate in a duopoly. I'm not an expert but thats my take. its time for a MAJOR course-correction.

  • Ya its a decent start. My point here is the scale of what we're facing. Its going to take trillions of dollars, synchronous action taken by many nations simultaneously and a complete restructuring of the current world order. There's always hope but at this point i'm fairly cynical and don't have a lot of faith that the right people are in charge to even start the conversation.

  • Also theres nothing worse than a crowded lane-swimming pool with casuals when you're trying to get a proper workout in. I never get mad about it, I understand why everyone is there and glad they're making an effort but theres rules that need to be followed.

  • Yeah whatever floats your goat really. My brother used to load his backpack full of textbooks and do pushups/home workouts and it worked for him. To each their own as long as long as whatever you do is working and you use proper technique.
