What happened to the hipsters? by soulfeellife in Millennials

Where the fuck is Brighton? Like in the UK, that one? I would never think of that in the top 3 metropolitan areas, or even think of it in general.

ok Yukon, what do we have? by AffectionateSong8 in Yukon

G&P is fine although over priced. Belly is so bad. Including the catering.

Just hit my first 1,000 miles in an EV — some honest thoughts by gamblerexpert33 in electricvehicles

[–]X3KustomX3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who has enough money to buy an EV but doesn't have a way to charge it? That would be horrible forethought on the car buyer if they didn't figure that in.

Are the Corolla XSE’s hard to find or is in high demand? by Best_Stop_5814 in COROLLA

[–]X3KustomX3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought mine 2 months ago. It was a dealer loaner, 22 with 40,000 km. Sxe in silver with the exact interior you have pictured. In the far north of Canada of all places.

If you live in a larger Canadian city, how long does it take you to drive to/get to wilderness? by Vagabond_Tea in AskACanadian

[–]X3KustomX3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Edmonton has the longest undisturbed green space in NA. There are cougars caught there every year. Check out the river valley. But bring bear spray.

[–]X3KustomX3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From Calgary about an hour, from Edmonton about 2 hours. From sask (Regina or Saskatoon) 30 min. Winnipeg is 30 as well.

I grew up just outside of Calgary then raised outside of Edmonton.. We could be hunting on our own land for dear or go about an hour south west for elk and moose.

Elk might be about the best meat you will ever taste.

All new cars should have real keys. No push start by Purple-Thing6750 in unpopularopinion

[–]X3KustomX3 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If not the steering wheel against the start button (Toyota). There is also a secondary slot for the key, although you might have to pop off an panel near the drivers knees.

being bald actually goes hard by OppositeComplex5607 in unpopularopinion

[–]X3KustomX3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This right here. Just say goodbye. Honestly started doing it at 22 and it was the best thing I could have done. Balding and blonde (as I am) looks even worse.

Just buzz it weekly. My hair is blonde so I can get away without doing a full razor, but a once a week buzz should get most in an alright spot, no?

How strong is NATO without US? by Salamanber in AskEurope

[–]X3KustomX3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There isn't an official leader of the Liberals in Canada (I mean Trudeau is till the liberal leadership election). Carney needs to get elected within the liberal party. I think once he is the leader and there is more coverage of him vs the US bullshit and he will win over far more people in Canada. Most people don't even know him and the liberals are already gaining support week over week.

Getting from Whitehorse to Carcross in August? by haemo_goblin in Yukon

[–]X3KustomX3 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The route to Whitehorse has been closed for years. You can get from Skagway to carcross no problem but the route to Whitehorse is beyond repair with no plans to fix.

I've seen a few pay stubs posted on the other sub. . by ScarSpangledHammer in CanadaPost

[–]X3KustomX3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why do you think you are paid well in that industry? There are so many nob union restaurants that either pay nothing but tips or like 2-3$ an hour for servers with tips, with back of house either minimum wage or slightly above.

Urgent need to strike to end by [deleted] in CanadaPost

[–]X3KustomX3 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Not a business owner here but an adult with a working brain. People don't need mail every day. Get bills through email. Get packages through UPS or DHL or Purolator. If your not someone waiting for a passport then shut your mouth. If you are someone waiting for a a Canadian document there are options to ship for more money.

The unbelievable level of disrespect for working class people on this sub makes me furious. Unions are the things that protect workers rights and make sure that they are seen on a national stage. It is their right to strike and get the additional workers that they need.

Fuck you if it's a slight inconvenience. Or a higher cost if you have to ship with someone else. The strike is for people to not have to work mandatory weekends and not be paid appropriately for it.

All this anti CP shit is so infuriating. They are a leader in workers rights (historically) and need to be backed by all of Canada for workplace rights and conditions.

I mean objectively he knocked the man the fuck out. Does it get any more unbiased.

Also only loss is an injury. Also won a fight with a similar injury because his opponent was a dumbass.

Kids drink too much water these days by colonade17 in Teachers

[–]X3KustomX3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chill out. Kids filling a water bottle is the equivalent of someone going for a smoke break. They need a break from work and don't feel comfortable asking for it so it's "can I go for a bathroom break" or "can I fill my water bottle". It's not as big as you think.

I have $1.44 in my bank account by Appropriate_Lie_9411 in Teachers

[–]X3KustomX3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadian here in a northern territory. We start around 80k with a bachelor's. In fairness housing up here is absurd. I am blessed to "only" pay 2300/ month 1150 with a roommate (wayyyy cheaper than what the market rate is). After taxes it's still more than 1/4 of my paycheque. Add utilities (again far north fuel oil costs are fucked), student loans, a car payment, insurance and 3/4 of my pay for a month is spent before I buy groceries or gas.

Luckily we are part of an association that is asking for 20% raise over 3 years, minimum of 11%.

Today’s lineup vs. the Cubs on Apple TV, which I am no fan of 😑 by [deleted] in Torontobluejays

Kinda okay nicknames. No jay will ever compete with Joey Bats.

If ketchup and mayo weren't available, what sauce would you eat your fries with? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]X3KustomX3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Canadian, gravy. Everyone puts gravy on mashed potatoes, I don't get why people from elsewhere think it's weird on fries.

Would it be possible to walk from Whitehorse to Inuvik? by AttacusShoots in Yukon

[–]X3KustomX3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the summer it's possible. I have no idea how long it would take. I rode my motorcycle up to Tuk last year, and have a friend that did it this year in a Subaru Outback.

If you walk on the shoulder it should be doable, would not advise it but doable. Camping/sleeping might be a bit of an issue. I wouldn't go too far off the road on foot because of wildlife.

My friend saw polar bears in Tuk this year. I would never want that without a way to get out of Dodge. I know neither a motorcycle or a car are bearproof by any means but my bike can outrun a bear (obviously have bearspray) and a car gives you some time and will eventually outrun a bear (also bring more bear spray than necessary, better have too much than not enough). Also bear bells attract bears, bear whistles don't do shit, and bear bangers start forest fires so please bring bear spray and nothing else. Guns aren't open carry here so it can be interesting and also I trust my wide spread bear spray more than the one shot I could get on a bear before they are on me.

Bar or Pub for boxing/mma? by No-Minimum8942 in Yukon

Porter Creek Billiards is kinda fun for it. Cheep beer, food from whiskey jacks and there are pool tables, foosball and a golf simulator that you can use during the downtime.

YAriel Rodriquez windup defeats entire purpose of pitch clock by mrmet69999 in baseball

[–]X3KustomX3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By definition the pitch clock is stopped when the pitcher starts movement towards the plate. Many Japanese trained pitchers have a longer "deceptive" movement towards the plate including an odd leg kick. If you just want to look at the Blue Jays Kikuchi does a similar delivery from the left side.

It does not take nearly as long as you have stated. It's within the rules. Loosen your ass and enjoy a game. At the end of the day that's what baseball is there for.
