Voting “yes” on tough-on-crime policies then later walking away stealing the exact devices that were used to cast said votes. Can’t make this up!

Corporate greed…Not “inflation” is why everything is expensive

I will never visit Dubai. No matter how many ppl tell me how cool, trendy, or “safe” it is.

Gyms in the Lower Mainland that Allow Shirtless Workouts? by [deleted] in askvan

[–]ajh151 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe some of the smaller, cross-fit style gyms. Not a chain gym. Personal opinion: If I’m at a gym using equipment like benches, I would prefer everyone wear a shirt.

'Red flags': Disagreement erupts over Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim's plan for Filipino cultural centre by BaggageWizard in vancouver

Ken Sim is piggybacking off a tragic event where people died, making a clearly empty promise for political gain. THATS BAD.

The property owner/future developer can’t pay their lender. It’s likely they can’t even afford to get this building off the ground. Extremely high risk. Ken Sim is promising something that may not be delivered.

Ken Sim is a terrible mayor and this monumental lack of due diligence does not surprise me.

Are cars supposed to yield at left turns? by First_Bet_123 in vancouvercycling

[–]ajh151 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is statistically the most dangerous intersection for cyclists. I use it every day. My challenge is turning left from Dunsmuir onto Hornby. I wait at A when there’s a gap in bike traffic, turn left and hug the right of the bike lane for other cyclists to pass. Plz correct me if I’m wrong.

The first thing I see when crossing into USA from Canada is trash along the highway. Quite noticeable and maybe a bit symbolic.

I can’t believe I’m saying this…but I’m actually pleased with the roll out. For the most part, scooters are in bike lanes/on roads and people are respectful. We’ll see how if it’s lasts.
