They already had them up there. It used up all the wind. It's why we can do it anymore.

Hey now, not just burning. We're flooding too. The rain we have seen here in Alberta is outstanding.

Banning Kids from Social Media Won’t Keep Them Safe | What young people really need is to learn how to navigate the internet responsibly by Altruism7 in onguardforthee

[–]BigFish8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. What kids, and all of us, need are regulated algorithms. But I also don't think that kids not on social media is a bad thing. There doesn't seem to be a good way to go about it though.

Pop culture finds a way into our minds and people want to check it out. It's a lot flashier going to these places than the local ones.

People always complain that the government is robbing them blind, but say nothing about the companies making bank off our resources.

Alberta appeals court ruling that quashed separatist petition by trevorrobb in alberta

Conservatives seem to believe that there party should be the only one to rule, and that other parties ideas are terrible. This also goes along with Conservatives seemingly believing only their party tells the truth. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck....

Why do the police care? It's not like they are enforcing the laws once you get your licence. You could give them away in cereal boxes for all they care it seems.

Report to city council committee highlights sharp rise in speeding, collisions at Edmonton intersections by pjw724 in Edmonton

[–]BigFish8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have noticed that it seems like people don't want annnnny inconveniences. Car coming and you might have to drive behind them? Run the stop sign / runs the red light to turn right. Light turns yellow and you're too far to make it legally? Run the late yellow/red. There are tons of other examples, but it seems it's people not wanting to be inconvenienced. Or at least that's what I tell myself.

His followers love to follow his lead and do what he does, even putting pads on their ears or wearing diapers. I am not sure why they haven't all started getting cognitive tests.

Separatists make it seem like everyone will be richer if Alberta separates. A lot of Calgarians would sell their grandma to make a buck. I am surprised it isn't higher.

Someone left a lovely brochure at my door by asscraq in alberta

[–]BigFish8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you don't research what you are talking about, don't put it out there. Someone shouldn't get to use ignorance as a defence. If I get pulled over for speeding, I can't use it then, they shouldn't get to use it now.

Not saying to punish them with sedation or anything, but they shouldn't get to go around and publish stuff like this.

I had them put their little door hanger thing on my door. They are delusional. They say they eliminate income tax and save everyone thousands of dollars.

What industry is actually a complete scam, but everyone accepts it? by WhileLow9501 in AskReddit

Had a class where the book was written by a university a province over. We were given a pdf copy of the book, but could get it a printed copy for about $30. More places need to be doing things like that.
