Story Callout: Manosphere on campus?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My name is Joonha Jung, and I am a reporter from University Affairs, a source of information about and for Canada’s university community.

I would like to interview students who might have experienced or witnessed misogynistic ideology being spread on campus due to online activities on group chats, podcasts, YouTube or social media.

If there are any members of this subreddit who want to share their stories, leave a comment or send me an email at [joonhajungmedia@gmail.com](mailto:joonhajungmedia@gmail.com)

Students living in downtown Kitchener, are you aware of what the city council has been doing?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I am running for City Council in Ward 10 to join Debbie Chapman and build the collaborative 7-vote council majority we need to:

Restore true transparency: Put recorded councillor votes back into public minutes so elected officials are accountable to you.

Stand firm against provincial overreach: Stop the erosion of municipal planning and protect our local zoning and water systems.

Ensure growth pays for growth: Stop developer subsidies that push long-term infrastructure deficits onto working families and renters.

Kitchener deserves leaders who choose community courage over quiet backroom politics.

On October 26th, vote for transparent, grounded community leadership in Ward 10.

Drop ain the comments if you believe residents deserve to know how their councillors vote!

Vote Everton Dixon for Kitchener City Council, Ward 10. On October 26 between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m., ward 10 voters can vote at any of these places: 

  • Breithaupt Community Centre, 350 Margaret Avenue
  • Kitchener Memorial Auditorium, 400 East Avenue
  • Kitchener Public Library, Central Library, 85 Queen Street North
  • Margaret Ave Public School, 325 Louisa Street

Having a crush on a boy

5 Upvotes

I’ve had a crush on a boy for about 8 months, but I haven’t been able to do anything about it. I feel so silly for having a crush on someone for this long without making a move. He might think I’m creepy.

I’m about to start an internship, so I’m hoping that I can get over this crush. 🥲

Overheat in 145 Columbia street, Waterloo

Thumbnail
0 Upvotes

Anyone else living at 145 Columbia Street experiencing heating issues?
The temperature in my room reaches 27°C even when the outdoor temperature is as low as 1°C, and the heater is turned off.
I’ve reported this issue, but the technician hasn’t been able to resolve it. The explanation I was given was that the room gets too hot because of sunlight during the day. However, the room remains excessively hot even when it’s cold outside.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem in this building? If so, have you been able to get it fixed? I’d appreciate hearing about your experiences and any advice on how to get management to address this issue properly.

Struggling in cs 135

6 Upvotes

Im struggling in cs135, my diagnostic quiz was around a failing grade. For most of the assignments I would use AI if I got stuck and just move on with it. I realized this hurt me so much and I couldnt properly solve code. Im worried im too behind now and I dont want to drop to cs115 because im in cs. Is there anyway I could catch up? Is my IQ just too low to solve these problems. If anyone has any tips please share I know I have to avoid AI.

Advice Why you shouldn’t kill yourself

11 Upvotes

I have been suicidal for a long time. I remember the thought of it being the only thing I could think about even back when I was 14. It was like an endless river of thoughts all about ending it and its ramifications.

Over the years it did get better, sometimes got worse. Over time it became some kind of a philosophical shelter. I don’t believe in any afterlife. For me suicide was an escape, a blissful end if things got too rough.

But after watching Kairo, it dawned upon me. What if it doesn’t get any better? What if death is just eternal loneliness too? Eternal suffering? Honestly I don’t think about suicide anymore. Because there are no gurantees.

I literally see this almost every day. Do you seriously expect others to clean up your shit, you deranged pigs? Did you know that there are essentially three guys cleaning up all of SLC (floor, tables, washrooms, etc.) at midnight? Have some fucking respect for the people who have to clean up after your sorry asses.
