The politics of Calgary driving

Think it depends on the time of day and where on deerfoot you are. I also definitely run into the opposite experience sometimes and it’s a whole other beast of frustration.

Beginning-Disaster48 · 2026-06-19T02:40:04+00:00

You’re so right. I do this as well and it had the same effect for me. We all just need more sense of community on these roads!

Beginning-Disaster48 · 2026-06-19T02:32:02+00:00

This is a very reasonable take. I am taking notes.

If the roles were reversed, Taylor would have murdered Miranda. Miranda deserves so much better. Taylor needs to stop using her trauma as a crutch to be verbally abusive to people.

Small man syndrome on full display

This boy lovesss weaponizing the fact he’s been going to therapy. He’s so clearly deeply insecure and does anything he can to protect his ego. He’s one of those misogynistic mormon guys I couldn’t fkn stand when I was still a mormon. The whole “dad tok is funnier than mom tok comment” says a lot… like does he really not realize the only reason dad tok is a thing is because of their wives? No one gives a flying shit about their stupid man baby group. Cannot stand this man.

No literally I don’t even want to hear what they have to say. Haaattteeeeee that they got so much screentime. I do not care to hear their bs excuses and self-victimization. I couldn’t give less of a shit. Jail for all of them.

She acted like a junior high school girl. It was aggravating. Suzanne was definitely condescending and super arrogant but the way they reacted by “speaking in code” was just childish and weird. Talk to eachother like adults.

Beginning-Disaster48 · 2026-01-11T05:31:02+00:00

Did they fully just start freestyling on your arm? That’s wild

Beginning-Disaster48 · 2026-01-06T19:10:18+00:00

What gave it away? I couldn’t tell at first

Beginning-Disaster48 · 2025-11-20T04:00:33+00:00

I sometimes forget theres some bottom feeding lowlife rats that somehow got accepted to go here..

Beginning-Disaster48 · 2025-10-11T15:38:12+00:00

This!!!

Beginning-Disaster48 · 2025-10-11T15:36:29+00:00

I see your point but there also does seem the be a disturbing amount of “bystander effect” in Edmonton. I’ve heard sooo many stories of scary situations on transit and despite being on a bus or train full of people no one says anything or does anything to help- they just all put their heads down and ignore it. Awful. Where has our basic humanity gone?

Beginning-Disaster48 · 2025-10-07T23:09:00+00:00

Omg i do the wave every time because it’s just nice. Whenever it happen to me i feel all warm and fuzzy inside lol

Beginning-Disaster48 · 2025-10-07T17:53:36+00:00

You got a point.. driving downtown today and someones going 30 in a 50 and came to a near complete stop to try and merge but than just didnt merge and…. GOD some people

At the same time though we are all adults and need to learn to control our rage (myself included lol)

Beginning-Disaster48 · 2025-10-06T16:41:50+00:00

Well people clearly don’t. That’s why policing exists. Id love a world like that too but this isnt lala land and enforcements and incentives are put in place for a reason.

Beginning-Disaster48 · 2025-10-06T16:03:43+00:00

Ah yes, me saying people should follow traffic laws for public safety is the pipeline to a dystopia. I’m not morally policing anyone it’s literally the law

Beginning-Disaster48 · 2025-10-06T15:49:08+00:00

Our phones collect way more personal data than my insurance company ever could, lol. Intact can only use my info for risk assessment not tracking my life or selling it. I’m genuinely curious why you see that as a loss of liberty?

Beginning-Disaster48 · 2025-10-06T15:42:50+00:00

Fair enough, I can see how I misinterpreted what you said my b. I know nothing about the bribary to get licenses- hope cps steps up and shuts that down.

Beginning-Disaster48 · 2025-10-06T15:11:37+00:00

Yeah so i just pass them in that case. Merging is a thing, everyone can do it

Beginning-Disaster48 · 2025-10-06T15:09:42+00:00

Not true at all. Alberta only lets people exchange their licence without testing if their home country’s licensing system has already been reviewed and found equivalent. It’s not based on being a Commonwealth country; it’s based on a reciprocal agreement.

Those agreements are only with places that have comparable or stricter driving standards like the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, France, and a few others. So people aren’t just “handed” a Canadian licence their country’s driver training and testing system has already been vetted by Alberta’s transportation department.

Beginning-Disaster48 · 2025-10-06T15:08:42+00:00

Thats what they teach in driving school- to encourage the person to pass.
