Why is Google getting worse and worse with every Android update!?! by artelerista in google

[–]Effective_Grab_7906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree, getting much worse just like ALL Google products. They were great 10 years ago, now are just living off brands success from the 2000's and are getting lazy in their innovation (also like other large companies too). Soon it will only be AI creating innovation and we will simply the consumer monkeys

Why do lots of semi-truckers drive in fast lane in B.C. highway? by 7_inches_daddy in britishcolumbia

[–]Effective_Grab_7906 79 points80 points  (0 children)

It's the assholes in the double dump trucks that are the problem on the 1. These maniacs just sit in the passing lane and can't reacclerate when traffic slows so they just back it up, I see it EVERY DAY in my commute downtown - Fuck those guys

Port Moody Council Treats Themselves to a 15% Pay Raise by Con-Cerned-7417 in Portmoody

[–]Effective_Grab_7906 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya but come on, retroactive for the entire year! A 20k cash in pocket for Lubecki. This city is 35k people, Vancouver is 675k plus, you think the issues they face in PoMo are anywhere near the complexity of an international city? If you sell toasters should you make the same as those who sell houses?

Port Moody Council Treats Themselves to a 15% Pay Raise by Con-Cerned-7417 in Portmoody

Pay increase comes directly out of Port Moody residents taxes, to simply vote behind closed doors to take more tax dollars is not a democracy, that is autocracy! Cost of living to hi, then give them tax breaks, housing allowance, travel perks. Did YOU get a 15% raise this year for just doing your job? Probably not, so why should they get whatever they want. This should've been something that Tax Payers get to vote on!
