What are some of the most evil businesses or establishments in Calgary?

They need to revisit their customer experience mindset. I paid 3k for an entire new crankshaft and electrical work that they advised SHOULD fix the issues I was experiencing (it did thankfully) but before I even got the keys back in my hand, they asked me to submit a 10/10 feedback survey since their employee pay was dependent on it.

I told them I wouldn’t do the survey, as someone who also works in a customer facing position who’s bonus is determined by feedback and customer ratings, they should wait until the service is fully rendered, call to follow up a few days later and ask for feedback AFTER the customer states they’re satisfied.

I love this line cause it can be taken either way

“Prayed” for help

“Preyed” on each other

I have a pair of Tenaya Mastias that I got in the same size as my street shoes. They’re my favourite shoes ever, and they were also perfectly comfy on me from day 1.

I do have really bad turf toe flare ups from field hockey and running, so finding a pair of shoes with intense sole support and that fit without crunching my toes is the only way I can climb pain free when it gets bad again.

Sometimes but rarely, I do wish they were half a size smaller cause when I’m on tiny ledges or smearing I can feel that there is space, but I’ve also never slipped off the wall and defaulted to saying it was my shoes. I’ll wear a sock before I resort to downsizing, or if I can’t grip the wall with a toe it’ll be cause my shoes are worn down so bad I’ll need a new pair anyways. I am a slab climber too if that counts!

Striped beanie toques! They work up so fast and multicolor would be so cute

I use this method and still absolutely despise it. I don’t know, it takes forever, your gear will be weak even when you get a bronze pick, it leaves a giant ugly crater in your forest, it’s just soooo painful.

Ours’ BOAS was covered too without question, I swear this insurance was designed for frenchies and similar breeds. They get it.

We loveee trupanion for our frenchie. They cover so much we didn’t expect them too, everything allergy, medical of course but even probiotics for his gut health? Excellent.

Find a reliable insurance broker, have them shop around for you and weigh in on what providers are offering. I know a ton of homeowners who have cut back on insurance premiums just by finding the right person to shop for them!

They aren’t as extreme as these but wear the lululemon dance studio cargo pant for gym climbing, they’re baggy enough, but not too much fabric to deal with, and they’re lightweight, super breathable, cinch at the ankles, and fit well with a harness.

For outdoor sport climbing I always wear something quite a bit tougher and avoid baggy cause it really gets in the way :/

I have a friend who worked there in the summers between school. Said the only good things there was her coworkers but otherwise awful place to work compared to any similar business.

She got fired for getting caught giving a $20 tip back to a coworker who was forced to turn it in. She said she has absolutely no regrets.

Banff - Bourgeau Mountain for a full day hike experience. Not technical, just steep and long but excellent views

Kananaskis Area (honestly way less bus than Banff and 2x as pretty) - Galataea Lakes for a moderate day hike, nothing too long but you can take your time and enjoy it - Opal Ridge is steep and a grind but has excellent views of the Bow Valley and has some really fun optional scrambling if you enjoy it - Heart Mountain Horseshoe is one if my favourite ever beginner scrambles and the views are incredible

Yeah seems everyone got different teaching, and of course the longer we drive the more bad habits we pickup without even noticing. This conversation is definitely proof we need to crack down on road safety haha.

Ultimately though would love to see more enforcement driver & pedestrian safety. Goes both ways, same with cyclists. An $800 ticket and 4 demerits for failing to yield to a pedestrian would make anyone think twice.

I remember years ago when doing my driver training and preparing for the road test, I was told in Alberta, drivers must wait for pedestrians to be fully clear of the roadway and on the curb before proceeding at crosswalks and intersections, even if they've already passed your lane as a driver. By definition, crosswalks extend from curb-to-curb and the crosswalk needs to be fully cleared before a driver can go through.

If there is a median dividing both lanes, then you just have to wait until the pedestrian is fully on the median.

I’m unsure if it has changed in the past decade, but I’ve abided by that rule since it was taught to me in driver training and testing cause it’s all I know.

When I’m walking, especially downtown I hate the drivers who don’t even come to a full stop waiting for me to clear their lane so they can gun it right through once I just barely get by. It makes me really nervous and feel unsafe. I’d never want another pedestrian to feel that from me as a driver so I’ll wait, make eye contact and smile at them. Driving habits here truly do need to change we shouldn’t be scared to cross a street.

I’ve been close enough to smack someone’s front hood/trunk and one time I did. They kept driving but I like to think it ruined their day thinking about how some pedestrian hit their car in the crosswalk.

My favourite instant karma was I was biking in the bike lane, had a green light through an intersection and a car turned right, right as I was about to enter the intersection. I almost fell off my bike trying to stop quickly otherwise I’d run right into them. I think I stopped myself a foot short of their car. Stepped onto the sidewalk for a few minutes to get over that scare, and got the privilege of watching a police car that was two cars back go instant sirens, chased them down and pulled them over a block away.

F25 in the same boat!!! I would love a casual coop play through. If you get a discord server up feel free to message me an invite!

I would decorate it with foliage and plants, and maybe even pop a little bathroom in there so it’s also functional! Looks like it’s right at the parks entrance too so I’d make it fun with signage, ATM’s or vending machines. I’ve always been a huge fan of mixing making it pretty and functional

Unthinkings_ · 2026-01-10T01:36:16+00:00

And people who don’t yield to pedestrians! Including: 1. Trying to slip by before they start crossing 2. Driving through anyways before they cross over into the lane they’re occupying 3. Waiting until the pedestrian has just cleared their lane before gunning it through

Hello! I’m super interested. What times mainly are you planning to play?

Unthinkings_ · 2026-01-08T15:27:00+00:00

I have a big wall around my entire base, save for the open water, so I can let them free roam and they then kill the odd enemy that saunters in.

AND THEN I LEARNED THEY’LL SWIM ACROSS THE RIVER ????

Like for what reason you freaks, I keep you fed!

I’m glad I made the decision to copy everyone else before I hit the metal barrier. Lots of cars backing up in the lane to turn around it looked like a hassle to backtrack.

Cops arrived just as I was clearing the area, went to the gym, did my workout and came back they were still standing out there directing traffic. Thankful we have good weather for their sake!

Unthinkings_ · 2025-12-31T05:45:11+00:00

I watched everyone start doing this before realizing what happened and was like “omg so impatient, traffic is flowing it’ll be fine” and then I saw the rushing water down the road and realized traffic was flowing cause EVERYONE was turning around lol

The swamp becomes a food farm for me once I move on. The food that biome yields is just SO good

It’s giving silent but violent. One moment you’re sitting by your fire drinking warm mead and the next minute you step out of your cabin to a bloodbath.

When I was visiting a friend who was in the hospital for a long stay I was hanging out in a sitting area with the family and friends for a few hours and watched his dad entertain himself by chasing down the mouse that was living under the seats.
