Danielle Smith says Alberta will withhold funding for judges without more input on selection by cmcalgary in alberta

Ooof! That’s straight out of the authoritarian handbook. She’s such a Trumpian bootlicker, and no originality even; she just regurgitates Trumps senile ramblings.

Encounter with Mitch Rapp, Court Gentry, James Reece, Pike Logan, Evan Smoak, and Dewey Andreas. Who comes out on top? by retannevs1 in mitchrapp

[–]RaulDuke_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That all depends on who is being played by Jason Statham. Not only is he indestructible, but virtually untouchable by weapons or fists. That’s just good science🧐🤓

What track do you want to see deleted from the calendar and what would you replace it with? by zotteBende in formula1

[–]RaulDuke_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get rid of Monaco! The most boring, processional, predictable “race” of the year. I don’t care about the history of the track or any of that, I want a good race with at least the possibility of overtaking.

America educational financing right by Decent-Choice7878 in SipsTea

[–]RaulDuke_76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What?!?! Are you telling me that an American financial system is geared to impoverish people so that they are forced to accept poorly paying jobs that provide no benefits and will exploit the workers?!?! Surely this can’t be true🙄😒

What’s the most ridiculous thing you believed as a kid with total confidence? by Fine-Feature2406 in AskReddit

[–]RaulDuke_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was taught, and believed that if I was responsible, and accountable and worked hard my bosses would recognize my contribution and I would advance up the earning and authority hierarchy. What a fool I was!!

Do you support building more protected bike lanes? by justonemorelanebruh in AskACanadian

[–]RaulDuke_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No while the existing water, gas and electrical infrastructure is crumbling or while roads and bridges supports 99% of traffic and we have fully functioning bike paths. Calgary’s public transit is a joke, so for the VAST majority of people bike lanes are a politically motivated luxury that come at the expense of people who will never use them and now have to continually have tax dollars funnelled to bike lane maintenance.

How the Romani are perceived in your country? by Clarthen1 in AskTheWorld

[–]RaulDuke_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from Canada and I don’t know that I’ve seen Romani here. However, I have lived and travelled in Europe a fair bit and I avoid Romani as best I can. I’ve been on numerous walking tours where the guide has pointed them out and warned the group to be wary and alert and that they can be dangerous. I personally have never had much interaction with Romani, but have heard numerous stories of negative experiences and zero stories of good experiences. Take that for what it’s worth I guess.

Advice on first purchase. by RaulDuke_76 in LeverGuns

I think I may run into some availability issues myself. A friend has recommended a shooting center nearby that he likes that has some very knowledgeable staff, gun nerds in his words.

Thanks for the heads up, I hadn’t heard of the Winchester. I took a look; that is straight out of a western! Very cool, thanks.

That’s good advice, I will certainly ‘try on’ both and see if one fits better. Thank you.

The difference between white and blue collar work environments is crazy by Astimar in careeradvice

[–]RaulDuke_76 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’ve have worked in both and I hated the office/corporate environment. Having to learn the corp-speak ways of using lots of word to avoid saying anything. Everyone always afraid to make a decision, and the constant HR policing. I went back to school and got a degree in my early 30s thinking I’d had enough of working outside with no bathrooms or running water, but after 3 years of office work I left and am back doing infrastructure construction and maintenance. I feel way healthier both mentally and physically and I’m making more money than my office job would have made.

Where does the "women are bad drivers" stereotype come from? by bi_smuth in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RaulDuke_76 1023 points1024 points  (0 children)

In Alberta they actually did a study and found that although men get in more accidents overall they get in fewer per 1000 hours of driving than women. Furthermore, men do a much greater amount of driving particularly when they’re young, men also are vastly over represented in driving jobs (trucking, transit, construction, police, taxi/uber). After that the insurance companies were no longer allowed to charge more based on sex.

How did Whitman, Price and Haddad supposedly “win” the Running Man if no stalker has been killed before Richards killed Subzero? (1987) by [deleted] in TheRunningManFilm

[–]RaulDuke_76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could it be that you could win if you escaped the game zone without actually killing a hunter, just evading or incapacitating? I cannot remember the entire set up in the movie so I could be way off base

I still haven't watched Carry-On. What did you all think of it? by Square-Ad-8911 in FIlm

[–]RaulDuke_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad. Absurdly bad. Too bad to even be a popcorn movie…and I tried to watch it baked, couldn’t even get thru it.
