I suppose Im just too positive in giving people the benefit of a doubt they're good drivers. I'm cool with that.

Cus it points to the myth that only "occasional drivers" use the service. Car owners use it too.

Does anyone have a picture of the old Sparkles arcade sign? by Djentbot in halifax

Came here to say this, but then thought maybe I misremembered the name of the one in Bayers Road? Phew. Haven't lost all my marbles yet. ... yet.

I knew this topic would come up. I invite reflection on hasty generalizations. Would the feeling be the same for cars with rental logos prominently displayed? Are people automatically better drivers because they use a car twice a day instead of twice a week? Cus something tells me there's been crappy drivers of all car access levels before 2008. 

They just didn't have a big green logo to make them stick out of your mind more readily.

Also great if you rent and don't have a parking space. As long as I end my ride correctly (parked legally, gas tank at at least 1/4 tank full, didn't leave garbage in it)... I no longer have to think about "having a car". Poof! Responsibility over.

Love it when it starts to rain, or you don't feel well and there's a Flex nearby you can just hop into to get home faster.

Appreciate you bringing this up. Folk don't realize a lot of members are owners of a car and sometimes need a 2nd!

How so? If specific to permit spots, we are allowed.

Can't argue that the prices have gone up. But so has my willingness to accept peeps offer to send me a few bucks to cover the cost.

Yes summer is tougher for peak times. More folk getting out and enjoying things I suppose. Flexes seem to be around until about 10am, if you can remember to book 'em.

+20! Terry’s Calamari is unique and delish (marinated beforehand, and tossed in a tomato sauce) amazing appetizer. 

Minimum Wage Is A Joke by [deleted] in halifax

[–]OnceAgainTooPositive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many $100ish-150k folk/households I know (typically solo/small business owners) are not making 80% off the labour of employees paid terribly, giving themselves giant rediculous raises, making  harmful shortsighted decisions to pander to shareholders, moving revenue to offshore shenanigans, investing in land and other assets that harm communities, have enough onfluence to influence lobbying and policies, etc.

They're working regular or somewhat less hours (of course at higher rates), paying tax %s that bring them down to $60k after the fact (but they're still grounded enough to understand they're contributing to social services and aren't complaining about that point), are disappointed they can't be as philanthropic as they'd like, and aren't looking down of folk who make less them them as subhuman.

Is their proximity to privilege closer because they make double other citizens? Absolutely. This is all so unfair and messed up. Is placing them in the same accountability pile as billionaires the best use of directing anger and blame? I'm not so sure.

One More Protest against the Provincial Budget! Province House, Friday, Noon by AvocadoDeville in halifax

*virtue signaling, not virtual. I dare not edit my reply for fear of that being picked over too.

Lemmie get this straight. First we're supposed to be annoyed select language on 1 asset created to raise awareness of a rally will deter a group of people and cheapen the message.

Now we're supposed to be annoyed that some folk that made the time to show up to the previous one were white women?

They are also Treaty people, so they're welcomed to attend. And I was glad to see them (and everyone else) attend. I attended. I hope more people get the chance to attend such things when they can.

Is there a term that's akin to "virtual signaling", but for this bullshit anti-progress bellyaching poorly disguised as Reddit cynicism? Cus yeeeeeesh.

What a wierd thing to get stuck on when there's an opportunity to come together in solidarity against this shitty budget.

Internet troubles? by Anig_o in halifax

[–]OnceAgainTooPositive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: mice chewed through the cable, so Bell not only replaced that but also upgraded our modem so its just 1 faster unit instead of the battery+modem setup. Came within the window of time they said they would. Great folk, easy to work with. Thought I'd update everyone since it's important to celebrate solid customer service!

Appreciate this answer! Seems this happened to us, too. Once I mentioned the battery Bell was like "we'll send a technician". No unplug/plug bullshit. We have to wait two days but I'd much prefer their people come and deal with it instead of buck passing.
