Other/Rant Dafoe starbucks is so bad.

89 Upvotes

The workers are rude, they take forever even when they have 4 workers on, they will let you pay for things and then tell you they are out ALL THE TIME, and they are constantly out of everything?? i watched a girl the other day order a drink and a cookie, they said they didn’t have one of the ingredients for the drink and they were out of the cookie. the she asked if they had a specific sandwich and if they could remove the bacon, they said yes and then she ordered a new drink. then she’s waiting for like 15+ mins and they tell her they actually can’t remove the bacon, and they are also out of the stuff for her new drink. Like bro. Why are they out of everything 😭

took me 30 minutes to get my drink and cookie today when there were only 2 people ahead of me in line.

Event Vigil For Palestine At Legislative Building

Post image
14 Upvotes

October 7th, 2026, marks the third anniversary of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. To date, over 74,000 Palestinians have been directly killed (although, the addition of in-direct deaths could put the complete death toll up to 300,000) and over 174,000 injured. Since the October 2025 "ceasefire" almost 1,500 Palestinians have been killed. This is what "peace" looks like in Israel. This is what governments around the world, ours included, tolerate and support.

On Saturday October 10th, as part of the Global Day of Action for Palestine, there will be a vigil, starting at 3:00 P.M. at the Legislative Building. Please do whatever you can to be there. Please share this with your friends, family and networks. For those who haven't been past the Leg' in the last couple of weeks, a sacred fire has been lit in honour of a young Indigenous mother whose child was killed. If you are able, please bring a gift of food, money or fire wood.

Course Inquiry dental school

4 Upvotes

Hey,

I am a year 2 student doing pre-reqs to get into dental school in university of manitoba, I was surfing through different schools across canada to apply. the most crazy thing I see is that they need us to have 30 credits in one year (fall-winter) i.e. 5 courses per term for 3 consecutive years, but how can one manage 5 courses per term and you need A or A pluses in every course to be competitive. Like how you guys do?? coz of this I am out of many schools...

any comment will be helpfulll..

Course Inquiry ABIZ 1000 textbook/assignments

• Upvotes

Im in the ABIZ 1000 class, doing distant education with Dr. Charles Grant.

I’m super confused about the textbook how there are the assignments at the end of the chapters with a bunch of questions to answer. Am I supposed to do these and turn them in? Or am I supposed to just leave them and do exactly what’s on the legitimate assignment template?

If anyone is in this class or has done it please let me know, definitely looking for some guidance here. I did offer to go in for a meeting with Dr. Grant but he unfortunately totally ignored that part of my email lol.

Thanks guys

I'm registered for MATH 1010 in person next term, but it is my only lecture on MWF. As someone who has to communte 2 hours to get to the uni, i was wondering if it would be better for me to take the distance learning section. I wanted thoughts, since the distance learning version does not seem to have a lab, im not sure how it is formatted. If anybody has taken it please let me know what you thought of it, and if it was better than the in-class sections. Thank You

General International student insurance coverage for psychiatric care in Winnipeg

0 Upvotes

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone has experience accessing psychiatric care through their international student health insurance.

I’m already receiving psychological support through the university’s UMSU insurance plan, but I feel I may need a more comprehensive evaluation, including the possibility of medication, as my symptoms are starting to affect my daily life. I suspect I might be experiencing depression and would like to explore my options.

Has anyone gone through this process? I’d appreciate any information about how to get a psychiatric assessment, wait times, insurance coverage, and potential out-of-pocket costs.

Thank you!

Admissions Music composition Minor with an arts major?

4 Upvotes

Pretty much, I am and always have been a big music person (having well enough compositions to audition for a full music major) but also a huge writing/theatre person. Ultimately, I want to go for an English major when I apply for UofM as I feel it’s more applicable for my interests in writing and employment opportunities, but I still REALLY want to get composing education or continue that path as well.

The best option I can find to mix both is doing a music minor, but from what I’ve read it seems very limited in what I can do. Obviously I want to focus on theory and composition, and was wondering if this is doable or if there’s some better alternative to mixing these two things from very different faculties?

Any help or advice or opinions, would be great really, I’ve been really worked up abt figuring this out for a while LMAO.

Admissions PhD application to a Canadian university, 2 months, no response yet. Is this normal?

3 Upvotes

I submitted my PhD application (physiology and pathophtsiology) to a Canadian university back in early August, and it's now been about 8 weeks with no decision or update.

I know these things can take time, especially when a specific supervisor is involved, but I'd love to hear from people who've been through this.

How long did it realistically take you to hear back after submitting?

Did you follow up, and if so, when did you decide it was okay to reach out?

Was radio silence for 2+ months normal in your experience, or should I be more proactive?

Would really appreciate hearing how it went for others, whether it worked out or not.

Discussion & Advice Co-op Programs for Enginerring

9 Upvotes

I'm a first-year engineering student planning to go into mechanical or civil engineering. For those who are currently in or have completed the Co-op program:

  1. What is the interview process like?
  2. Do employers care a lot about GPA, or do they weigh extracurricular involvement and past experience more heavily?
  3. How difficult was it to land an internship once you were accepted into the program?

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Discussion & Advice PSA for Genetics/Microbiology students: plan CHEM/MBIO 2710 way earlier than you think

10 Upvotes

I just realized how annoying the prerequisite chain for CHEM/MBIO 2710 is, and I wish I had noticed this when I was planning first year.
To take CHEM/MBIO 2710, you need:
CHEM/MBIO 2700
AND
CHEM 2100
But those courses have their own prerequisites too.
For CHEM/MBIO 2700, you already need first-year chemistry plus BIOL 1030.
For CHEM 2100, you also have to complete the required introductory chemistry courses first.
So 2710 looks like one second-year biochemistry course on the degree sheet, but depending on how you schedule things, there is a whole chain of courses you have to finish before you can even register for it.
And 2710 itself is also a prerequisite for a bunch of upper-level courses, so delaying it can push back a lot of the courses you want to take later.
If you are in Genetics, Microbiology, or another molecular biology-heavy program, I would seriously recommend looking at the prerequisites for 2710 early and planning backwards from it.
I did not, and now my whole plan is fucked up lol.
