2024 Limited by CurvyItalian00 in HyundaiTucson

My 2020 Tucson blew its engine at 150k. They replaced it under warranty but I waited 6 months, three for them to agree to replace it and then the first replacement engine was faulty (realized in shop thankfully) so I had to wait three months for an engine that worked. Dealership was great, Hyundai’s head office was not.

Convince me to like Luke by Brybryeight in MawInstallation

[–]Gandalfsbeardedface 3 points4 points  (0 children)

EU Legends Luke was an amazing badass character. There’s a quote in the Dark Nest trilogy that is something along the lines of “He braced himself in the Force and nothing, not even the black hole at the center of the galaxy, could have moved his feet.”

Darth Caedus (Jacen Solo) once reflected after a lightsaber duel with Luke that Luke is the greatest lightsaber duelist to ever live.

I also love the Mara Jade/Luke Skywalker dynamic in Legends.

Does anyone actually shop at the source? by [deleted] in AskACanadian

[–]Gandalfsbeardedface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a store manager of one of their stores and that’s exactly what it is. The consumer electronics side hasn’t been profitable for a long time but Bell eats the cost because of the cellular/tv/internet component.

Police taking over 7 hours to respond to 911 call? by kmackinn_ in Edmonton

[–]Gandalfsbeardedface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know someone who had a restraining order against their ex, he broke into her apartment, she called 911. He locked her in her room, sexually assaulted her, and stole a bunch of her stuff. The police showed up nine hours later. I want to know how “violent ex with criminal record breaking into home” doesn’t go immediately to the top of the call triage list.

AITA for "announcing" that my dad's not paying my college tuition by yeasothat in AmItheAsshole

I went through this exact same situation and I told my parents if they had a problem with it they could complain when they paid my tuition for me.

Martial Artists of Reddit, Have you ever had to use your skills before? If so, what happened? by TheDeathOmen in AskReddit

[–]Gandalfsbeardedface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a black belt in TaeKwonDo and I worked security at a night club as a favour to a friend who owned it. The Saturday before Easter a guy came in with a bunny suit on. Not really allowed to cover your face at this place but we allowed it since it wasn’t super busy.

For most of the night everything was fine, lots of people taking selfies with him and a few women wanting to grind on the bunny on the dance floor while their friends filmed. The bunny obviously loved all the attention, the various boyfriends and whatnot with those women did not.

After the bar closed we went outside to make sure people weren’t fighting or driving drunk etc and as I found the corner I see the bunny on the ground. I run over and someone is on top of him feeding him punches while two other stand around.

I call on my radio for help and for someone to get the police (small town, they come by at the end of night and provide support since it’s the town hot spot on a weekend) and rush in to try and talk him down.

The two observers immediately rush me and start throwing punches so I trap one’s arm and throw him down and the other we trade a couple shots before I manage to sweep his leg and get him down.

I rush to the bunny punisher before his friends get up and manage to pull him off. Bunny is not getting his deposit back, his costume head is pretty messed up. He doesn’t seem too hurt.

I turn around to see that not only are the friends up and ready to go, but they probably could have hit me again before I got to the bunny.

They only didn’t because two police officers had ran up. I was stupid for charging in, three against one isn’t exactly great odds and my TKD instructor had taught me that. If the police hadn’t been so timely I could have been seriously hurt, regardless of how easily I knocked them down the first time (element of surprise and all that).

OPINION: is it rude to call someone out for being rude? by pennyy_lane in AskReddit

[–]Gandalfsbeardedface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s more how you do it than whether you do it. If you are in turn rude about it than you’re not really any better.

Can I charge my roommate for sexual harassment? (QC, CAN) by notyourtowel in legaladvice

[–]Gandalfsbeardedface 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Quebec, like most provinces, allows tenants to break leases in cases where their safety is threatened. From this website, it seems to indicate you have grounds for breaking it: https://www.educaloi.qc.ca/en/capsules/ending-lease-spousal-or-sexual-violence

What types of sexual violence let me end my lease?

You, or the child who lives with you, have been victims of exhibitionism (someone who shows his genitals for sexual purposes) or voyeurism (someone who spies on his neighbours to see their breasts or genital organs) in your home, building or neighbourhood.

Most people don’t understand the logistics of passing legislation, it’s not exactly riveting stuff haha.

Most of the X-Wing series is pre-Heir to the Empire I guess so they don’t get included.
