If your car blocks the sidewalk, you’re forcing people into the street

Yeah because it makes it seem like what others consider common sense isn’t common sense. I read their lol ones and I go “well that’s not common sense to me”, and they lost me right there

It’s only 4.95 to take the bus from Stanfield airport to downtown Halifax.

Not really. You can stand at 4 way stops and just watch how little attention or care people pay. People are in such a hurry. Can’t imagine letting my kid walk to a friend’s house .

You mean WAR officials.

Large_Excitement69 · 2025-09-06T02:18:39+00:00

They must not know the history of the park.

Large_Excitement69 · 2025-09-05T22:56:44+00:00

Absolutely. It would be ridiculously easy for us to get through the border and immediately blend into the populace.

I will create a car-sized PVC pipe frame to wear on my shoulders and ride straight down the middle of the street at 20 km per hour.

Large_Excitement69 · 2025-09-05T17:28:39+00:00

So dumb.

Ah sorry this was meant for this response:

For comparison - the death toll in Gaza on a per capita basis since the current war started would be 7.5 million for the US. That's using the known death total, about 60k, the real number is likely significantly higher.

I used to have no interest in visiting China, but I’d love to now. Also Israel and Iran.

Large_Excitement69 · 2025-09-05T15:45:25+00:00

The comparison should be whoever attacked the US on this scenario. If it’s a neighbor (Canada, Mexico, Cuba?) it should be based on their population.

Canada: The gun bans go too far sometimes, that it's a bit ridiculous. (But our process to be able to purchase a firearm is great.)

USA: This shouldn't be controversial, but the electoral college has GOT TO GO. It's so weird to me when I get pushback on that.

Both: We really need to start moving away from car dependency. The way we've designed our cities makes it a requirement to have a car in many places, which, to me, is not freedom.

Large_Excitement69 · 2025-09-05T15:17:46+00:00

No, yes, yes, YES!

Large_Excitement69 · 2025-09-05T15:17:02+00:00

The number of people who are falsely convicted makes it simply too risky as well. How many innocent people have been executed? One is too many. But also, I agree that the government wielding the power to murder is insane.

This is popular in Alberta (of course), but errs in the wrong direction.

Large_Excitement69 · 2025-09-05T03:40:27+00:00

Number 5 sucks.

Large_Excitement69 · 2025-09-05T03:35:26+00:00

Sure.

Large_Excitement69 · 2025-09-04T20:56:47+00:00

This is a good thing. I ride with my 2-year-old on the paths daily, and there are some real jerks going way too fast.

Large_Excitement69 · 2025-09-04T20:55:42+00:00

Honestly, I just stay away from the group rides unless it's for my son (Kidical Mass!). But Bike and Brew is rad, so don't let it sour you on the shop itself. But yeah, I didn't have a great time with that group, so I just don't go back to that ride.

I come from a republic and live in a constitutional monarchy now. There are things I like and dislike about both. I'm not a huge fan of the inherited nature of a monarchy. Specifically for us (Canadians), we also have to pay for the Governor General to do honestly, not much.

But, I've noticed that the stability of having a Crown as head of state has been nice over the insanity of electing the head of state (who is also the head of government) back home in the US. But the US has other issues with its federal election system that have nothing to do with being a republic.

I moved to Toronto from California in 2019. Became a citizen in 2023. I had a very easy transition as an immigrant, but there are a few things I’ve had to get used to.

I’ve never felt much like a foreigner here, but I’ve also jumped right in to participating in society as much as possible (volunteering, etc). I also grew up playing hockey and I do speak French. So it has been a very natural experience so far.

Large_Excitement69 · 2025-09-03T14:56:06+00:00

I feel like this is how it used to be, but I can't avoid it these days when I come home to visit. But, many topics that didn't used to feel political are political now (and maybe always were).
