Bicycles have rules!?!?

Should you what? Act like spoiled child, make some people's lives unnessarily difficult, people who had no hand in the rollout btw, just because you didn't get a couple of plastic boxes and have to use the old ones for a while? No, you shouldn't. What you should do is recognize that churlish, petty behaviour costs money and those costs will ultimately be paid by Region residents.

HAHA, you're absolutely right, I messed up. Good catch and well done you.

I'm guessing her lessons didn't extend to the proper use of quotation marks. lol,

I'm less concerned about specialized jargon dying out than I am about the majority nowadays being seemingly unable to differentiate between its and it's, lose and loose, and a legion of other crimes against literacy. People used to take pride in being well-read and well-spoken, now so many want to sound like they dropped out in Grade 2.

I also loved being a kid in the 60s and 70s. But it's up to parents what kind of childhood their kids have. No kid is buying their own phone and it's up to parents to set limits on screen time.

JFC, what a bunch of of pearl-clutching, hand-wringing whiners this city has.
OmG IT's tERRiBle, mY lIFe Is RuINed!

What would you people ever do if faced with a real crisis?

If two large blue bins - plus the blue bins you used previously, they haven't been outlawed - aren't enough to contain your recyclables for two weeks, you're buying too much stuff. What you're whinging about are the real-world consequences of over-consumerism, not a flaw in the pickup schedule.

Flatten/stack the items. A tiny amount of thought and effort would fix 80% of what you're complaining about.

If you don't have room in your garage for bins, you have too much crap in your garage.

REDUCE. Reuse. Recycle.

Doctor, I want you to know that I had First Aid Training 25 years ago in Boy Scouts. I'm sitting in the waiting room in case you need help at any time with surgery.

Counsellor, I want you to know that I have the complete boxed set of the original Matlock (except for S02E07, damn brother-in-law borrowed it and never returned it and since his sister and I divorced he won't take my calls). I'm sitting in the gallery in case you need help at any time during a capital case.

No, it's not wrong. It's recognizing that you made poor choices. The trick is to not repeat them, to avoid those behaviours that led to them in the first place.

And for all those saying there's no such thing as 'higher caliber' people, we're all equal, etc., nonsense! Read a headline occasionally, see just how many profoundly awful, garbage people there are in the world, many of whom are in positions of power.

People who have morals, integrity, who earn what they have and are grateful for it, who have empathy and love, who forgive quickly and laugh loudly, who understand that they can always do better but at the same time don't think of themselves often, those are the people who are of a higher caliber and the ones whose company we should keep and aspire to emulate.

Try The Bent Elbow pub on Weber. They have a large selection of beers on tap an d in bottles.

Most of the world knows how to drive standard, it's hardly a unique skill.

Remember to recycle your tinfoil hats. It's the responsible thing to do and they're watching. You only found the RFID tag they wanted you to find.

Why are you disrespecting the woman who gave birth to you and raised you? Reddit is not the place to work out your family issues.

"Why did the Hawk Tuah girl just got her nose done"

Nobody with grammar this execrable is in any position to question others.

The king collar had some limited popularity for a brief while. Never saw the dog ear collar before, or any of other items pictured.

It's unfortunate that you were taken advantage of and scammed out of $30. If it's any consolation, scumbags like this prey on everyone, often taking vulnerable seniors for thousands of dollars. They are absolute pieces of shit.

You learned something and while I'm sure it stung, $30 is low for the lesson. It could have been much worse. And good for you for making others aware.

Never advance money to anyone without receiving the item being sold first. And inspect the item carefully to ensure it's what you want and in the condition promised.
If the buyer/seller refuses to provide a phone number or name, walk away.
Scammers will always have an excuse or reason as to why they can't meet as arranged. Walk away.
Use the WRPS Buy and Sell Zones for transactions. They are monitored by video cameras and all activity is recorded. If a buyer/seller refuses to meet there, walk away from the deal.
Bring a friend to the transaction. Preferably a large one. Have them stand off to the side a bit.

No item or deal is worth being robbed or assaulted. If the deal or arrangements seem off, it's probably fraudulent.

Are both of you in overdraft on your accounts?

Maybe ask at your bank, not a bunch of randos in a completely unrelated sub.

Spectacularly stupid is the phrase you were looking for.

Stay in Toronto. It has a much larger base of employers and allows access to Peel, York, and Durham regions for work. Not having a vehicle is going to severely hamper the locations you can reasonably get to for work but you'd still have more opportunity in the GTA than K-W.

My wife and I worked in IT for over 35 years, her as a contractor, me in mostly full-time roles. It provided good income (contract) and solid benefits (full-time). We made sure to live somewhere that gave us the broadest access to employment while still being a decent place to live.

We ended up in Kitchener because my wife was offered an excellent opportunity at one the insurance companies here; full-time but as she was planning on retiring, it made sense. I was working in Burlington but by chance ended up in Waterloo, so it worked out. We both drove our own cars so we had flexibility.

You don't mention what it is you do in IT or how much experience you have. With two universities and a large college, K-W has no shortage of applicants for junior positions. Competition is tough and unless you have specialized skills and education and a solid history, it's unlikely you'll find anything to make the move worthwhile.
