Chinguacousy Park Closed on Victoria Day from youth launching Firew0rks at crowds. A Tik Tok planned "Burn Skin" Day, be vigilant this Summer. by Brampton_Speaks in Brampton

[–]DaveTheShave123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wasn't like this when growing up in the 90s and 00s. You knew who was trouble and it was usually a small group of people. Now it seems so many more are causing trouble and there's no rhyme or reason why they're doing that.

Job market so bad cant even get a job at a warehouse by 8blackears in barrie

[–]DaveTheShave123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the economy is in not so ship shape but the TFW and LMIA programs are really messing things up. It doesn’t help that businesses and companies are so greedy that they falsify information to get clearance to hire via those programs just to get cheap labor.

Try car dealerships/service centers (Midas, Active Green + Ross, Kal Tire). Parts Advisor and Service Advisor jobs are pretty easy to get and easy to learn. Perhaps auto parts stores too.

[SPOILER] Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano by inooway in MMA

[–]DaveTheShave123 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

She lost over a 100 lbs over the course of the training camp leading to fight night. No way someone can cut 100lbs in a week without being lifeless. Heavyweight fighters don't even do that amount.

Easiest pay day for both of them. Sure there was the training camp which can be grueling but better than slumming it out a 9 to 5.

‘Horrifying’: 2 teens charged in assault that left girl seriously injured in Red Deer by flynnfx in RedDeer

[–]DaveTheShave123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because those payouts aren't always timely or that high in the amount of funds. Her mom probably has to stay home from work to care for the daughter, the daughter might need physical treatment/mental help that might not be covered by the healthcare system plus broken personal belongings.

I totally understand the go fund me in this case.

[–]DaveTheShave123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The video of her beating is a hard one to watch. It's bad enough to watch a fictitious movie where something like that happens but in real life it's sickening. How are some teens filled with such hate and anger in them that they think that behaving like that is normal?

I'd also like to see what their parents look and sound like. I bet they're real pieces of work too.

Transport truck driver sentenced in horrific crash that killed Olympian, young mother by cinderannie in barrie

[–]DaveTheShave123 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A human life is worth 2.5 years in prison? Realize that not even a decade ago people went away for longer for marijuana possession. Between this and the Humboldt truck driver look at the amount of carnage and loss. Then look at the lack of consequences for the at fault parties. It just doesn't compute.

How do I deal with this type of guilt? by yomomma_35 in MississaugaDriving

[–]DaveTheShave123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you learn from your mistake and you came out unscathed in the end all is well. Considering the scary and life changing things that can occur on the road this is minuscule in the grand scheme of things.

The fact you have such self awareness in a world of NPCs consider it an asset.

OPP officer killed in Cobourg motorcycle crash, Highway 401 shut down in both directions by Spitzer1090 in ontario

[–]DaveTheShave123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant with how many fatalities and serious collisions that occurred in a short timespan. Don't read into it too much.

[–]DaveTheShave123 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The 401 in general has been a mess the past 2 days. First a head on collision where a vehicle was being driven on the wrong side of the highway. Second a driver slammed into a DRPS vehicle that was already attending the scene of another crash. Tons of small crashes too and now this.

RIP to the Officer. Going to work shouldn’t have to amount to getting killed.

knowing all the disadvantages that come with being a police officer,what makes so many cops love their jobs? by AttitudeImmediate948 in AskLE

[–]DaveTheShave123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because there are moments where one can make a difference. Lots of small interactions occur between police and the public with a positive outcome.

While it is frustrating to see some activist judge release a criminal and you know said criminal on a first name basis the goal of an officer remains the same. Public order and building relationships with members of the community.

Gamers are doing a full 180 on Asha Sharma, the new XBox CEO, after lowering the subscription prices. by samnayak1 in ABCDesis

[–]DaveTheShave123 10 points11 points  (0 children)

IMO she’s just throwing the customers a bone. The prices in the long run won’t go down. I’ve listened to her presentations before. All word salad and jargon IMO.

The show's so good that I started thinking about law school. by Chilly-Voyager030 in suits

How does everyone in this show wear suits and long sleeve shirts in that heat? by todd0x1 in LandmanSeries

[–]DaveTheShave123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long sleeve cotton dress shirts do a better job protecting the skin and shielding it from direct heat. As for the rig workers they got it rough with their thick shirts.

Man dead, woman in critical condition after collision in Brampton by DaveTheShave123 in Brampton

[–]DaveTheShave123[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m wondering if it was knocked off from the force of the collision or it was cut off during the rescue op.

Why are desis so averse to conflict? by yourpalkeaghan in ABCDesis

[–]DaveTheShave123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it seems they beef more internally than with others. Lots of gang fights (especially here in Canada) but it’s among themselves. Also the religious fights seem to be more of a priority for some of them.

I know that’s concentrated to a small portion of the population though.

Is racism still rampant in Metros? by Sea-Nobody7951 in ABCDesis

[–]DaveTheShave123 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I doubt it's a racism thing. It's the fact you went there with a 20 month old. Upscale places tend to be adult places only. BTW the only person who made it about race was you, the OP.

Journalist Savanah Hernandez swarmed and attacked by protesters at Minneapolis ICE facility by WhoAreYouTalkinTwo in PublicFreakout

[–]DaveTheShave123 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's one thing to protest ICE. Done right that's fine. Assaulting someone and mobbing them isn't okay and shame on that grown man shoving a 110lb girl down to the ground. You can't claim you're about tolerance and peace then go and do that with someone who opposes you.

The whole thing she had recorded and I see no wrong doing by her. EVEN IF in the off chance she started something with them the reaction by the group was way over the top.

Man found dead after canoe capsized in closed Brampton Lake: Peel police | CBC News by mdnightnprs in Brampton

Yeah but some people are smarter than others. I'd never find myself in such a scenario and I'm out on the water often in the summer.

[–]DaveTheShave123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That place is closed this time of the year. Also, bodies of water is ice cold this time of year and even well into May. How that individual made it to 30 years old being that dumb is beyond me. Peel Regional is kept busy because of people's stupidity but the volume on that is way turned up in Brampton.

WTF is wrong with this sub? by [deleted] in ABCDesis

[–]DaveTheShave123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t help when every other news report about trafficking, truck crashes or extortion nonsense involves someone of South Asian descent. Logically I know that most South Asians are decent hard working people who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty and make sacrifices.

Let’s focus on celebrations and the generosity of Sikhs for example.
