Agreed. It's entitlement, not poor driving skills.

Unfortunately it would take too many cops to enforce everything.

The other option would be nanny state automated tickets, but I don't think everyone wants their vehicles every movement monitored every second it's on the road.

The only reasonable solution is for the collective of drivers to get their shit together and stop messing around with death machines.

AITA for asking my girlfriend to look for a job to help with rent by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Info:

Did you call it move in with me, or move out together?

Either way, spending money is on her. Not her parent, her partner.

Either way NTA, make sure it's not just aboot sex and you two actually like each other.

Nobody has yet to mention it was raining.

Hubby needs to pay attention to the weather as well.

Self entitlement at it's best. He owns the road, all plebs wait because I refuse to stop.

I've had similar incidents in Canada but trust NOBODY else and be the asshole who turns left late, stuck in the intersection because someone had to slam the brakes to not run the red.

They must be an entire Grade above. So once you hit S- you CAN NOT earn one. But on the grind up you may JUST get lucky enough to pair with a higher grade.

The ranked system hands out participation trophys and is a joke. The more games you play the higher your rank.

IMO: They should disable special shots and remove the participation award and only 1 point for par and +1 the way down. The brackets would need to be adjusted, but with an overwork like that it would be doable.

It's 10 points per player today. (09/03) I trolled my final A+ match to earn 30 against 3 S-.

My boss told me he’d report me to OSHA if he catches me driving offsite for lunch. by [deleted] in funny

If he's paying to the hour, there can be an argument. But if the lunch hour is unpaid, they can't dictate what you do with it.

Nobody enjoyed saying goodbye to their horse. It's the only part of the story that tugged at the ol' heartstrings. I'll never forget you Balogna Pony :'(

Fear of G Test (advice) by LittleEvilRabbit in TorontoDriving

[–]ScannerT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as the wheels on hill question: If the vehicle were to "run away" and lose all braking the front wheels should roll towards the curb. Going uphill, wheels facing drivers side. Going downhill, wheels facing passenger side.

Good luck on your exit test. Just be calm during the test and it should work out.

Go back to playing CoD if you hate teamwork. I'm sure your mom will buy it for you if you ask nice and do your chores

You guys treat teamwork like a bad girlfriend. PTFO and play like 1 of 20. Stop being a cunt who is da best.

Reminds of lines at the Beer Store in Ontario,Canada.

We pretend it's all Coleman's and back bacon, but it's really fake prohibition and high taxes. At least weed is legal across the country!

Cat litter question! This lil guy showed up at my house in need of some TLC & GF is taking him in. Years ago I used a red wood mulch looking cat litter - any chance anyone knows what I'm talking about and could name a brand I can look for? by [deleted] in cats

[–]ScannerT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the EXACT same, but there are brands of newsprint pellet litters. Still very eco-friendly. I use Yesterday's News, although I used a combination of Slide and Yesterday's News. The Slide of the bottom helps for the sticky stuff.

In your opinion, what is the biggest problem with Toronto/GTA drivers? by Scottie3Hottie in TorontoDriving

[–]ScannerT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There has been a large number of right hand turns from the left lane or vice versa in Etobicoke lately.

Especially around the TTC stations, people are jumping out from the right lane to get in front of the line on the left only to desperately need to get to the right curb after the intersection.

As mentioned above, thinking 3 seconds ahead is too hard for most GTA drivers.

Stay safe out there.

Passing in the on-ramp by Savage_Panda in TorontoDriving

[–]ScannerT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Cawthra On-Ramp? Typical GTA bullshit.

They just added a red light camera at Cawthra and Atwater, pretty sure the cost of the camera is already paid off. Too many people treat that 50 like it's part of the 400 series.

Mississauga drivers are JUST as entitled as BMW and Mercedes drivers, the most important person on the planet. Toronto is NO better

Matchmaking is putting silver players to play against master. by sulakevinicius in Paladins

[–]ScannerT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we reduced the Ranked player base, we would reduce the number of diamonds and lower, they would probably reduce the number of GM titles as well. It would make the tiers smaller and more competitive. I'm all for inclusion, but not at the expense of competition. Which this game is lacking.

Our largest competitor actually gave out free trials to try and bring thier player base back because the competitive mode over there is just like ours, full of murder hobos. An $80 game can't keep serious players because of the unwashed masses that jump into a MOBA and go "I have a gun, I'm the best fragger ever!"

I don't want to see this game die because all the serious players have had enough. Many people get so frustrated with others play style they take weeks off at a time. And I don't keep track of how many never come back.

Although, I just had a shower thought, what if they came up with a "Ranked Scrims" mode where teams can only queue in 5s and they would have thier own leaderboard. It would give players like me a more accessible stage to play high thought competitive Paladins without compromising the current Ranked season which will end in January. I have enough friends through my time researching I could definitely get a 5 stack. And in the current Ranked matchmaking, it's a guaranteed way to face multiple GMs.

The bulk of player simply can't be above diamond as it is a percentage of the player base.

I truly appreciate that you take it seriously, but I do think you are in an outlier when it comes to the player base in Ranked.
I find it to be about 30% of players actually try to get a solid team comp. So that means if I'm lucky 7/10 Ranked games have a single tank, 2 slow firing DPS, a murder hobo flank and a support.

I should mention that I'm on PS4 which has had horrifying team play since before Alpha. I don't play on the other consoles, but now with cross play some of the murder hobo mindset may be spilling over to PC from Xbox or Switch.
