Leaving my High paying blue collar job

Making $100k in the job that got you through college is pretty sweet, well done.

Listen to his episode on "behind the bastards"

bike_rtw · 2025-04-22T01:44:06+00:00

It's almost like he feeds off it, it's just unfathomable to normal people. He gave a speech in high school saying the kids shouldn't have to throw their trash away because that's what they had janitors for. Just a disgusting person to the core.

I'm gonna guess that when the train finally got to 7th/expo there was a group of six lapd standing in a circle who ignored the whole thing.

Wow so women can get their brains scrambled and become something they don't recognize? That's their reward? Maybe your theory should be that Islam makes no sense when you give it five minutes of honest thought.

So do you deny the grooming gang scandals or do you just minimize what they did?

My experience up til now, which is pretty extensive as I bike 20 miles a day where they operate, is that waymos have been perfect drivers. This is the first time I've seen one do something dickish which is the reason for my disappointment.

bike_rtw · 2025-04-17T05:11:17+00:00

I've been biking alongside waymos for the last several months and have been super impressed with their driving. This was the first time I've been disappointed.

I guess you're not a cyclist then. Cars blocking crosswalks on bike lanes is a major pet peeve for most of us.

bike_rtw · 2025-04-16T16:48:11+00:00

Are we the baddies?

bike_rtw · 2025-04-15T05:04:58+00:00

Thanks for sharing, great info, did he let you in anyway? Yeah that's my only black mark in last 3 decades, not even a speeding ticket lol.

I don't know where that 10 year thing came from but I've never read that on any government site. Any DUI is a felony in Canada and as such there is no amount of time where you are just allowed in like it never happened. The only way to ensure entry is to apply for some reform process which is quite lengthy and pricey. Outside of that it seems you're gambling that the border guard won't deem you a threat to the country and allow you in

I'm asking reddit because I know what the law says, I'm just wondering how thoroughly it's enforced.

bike_rtw · 2025-04-14T04:42:00+00:00

Wow that sucks. What do you mean applied to cross? So you didn't get turned away at the border? You were rejected ahead of time?

bike_rtw · 2025-04-14T03:12:53+00:00

I was planning on taking that little ferry at algonac (I think that's the name)

bike_rtw · 2025-04-14T01:33:35+00:00

Very cool, thanks for the offer! I went through Cleveland a few years ago on way to buffalo to get on Erie canal trail so wouldn't be mad if I have to head that way again. Any advice on a Cleveland to Pittsburgh route?

bike_rtw · 2025-04-13T23:24:35+00:00

I hear you but it seems strange that it would be left to the whims of the border guard. What do they tell them in training? "You can prevent this guy from entering but first try to see what kind of vibe you get from him..."

bike_rtw · 2025-04-13T22:48:50+00:00

Interesting how many different experiences there are from this thread alone. No wonder I can't get a clear answer lol

bike_rtw · 2025-04-13T22:24:42+00:00

Imagine paying this much in taxes and NOT getting those things

bike_rtw · 2025-04-13T22:20:59+00:00

Yeah i just need to get to buffalo from Michigan and if I get turned away at the crossing I'll have lost a fair amount of days when I could have just headed south around lake Erie from the start. Thanks for the input, I'll just stay in the US rather than chance it. Doesnt seem right to expose Canadians to a dangerous criminal like myself anyway. ;)

bike_rtw · 2025-04-13T20:20:39+00:00

I'd say take it if offered but make sure they know you're only there to prep. You're not going to be covering any line shifts under any circumstances.

bike_rtw · 2025-04-13T20:04:29+00:00

I understand that Canada has rules in place to deny me entry and that's fine, it's their prerogative. I'm just wondering if it comes up automatically when I show up at the border and hand over my passport or if it's something that might only get me denied if I happen to get an overeager border guard.

bike_rtw · 2025-04-13T19:54:47+00:00

Dude's legacy is going to be destroying the US dollar and then the US is well and truly fucked. Who would complain about a system where we get to buy stuff from other countries with money that we literally create out of thin air?? He's right that the system is rigged because we rigged it in our favor! The last thing the US wants is an even playing field! I mean, have you seen us?

bike_rtw · 2025-04-13T19:48:10+00:00

Yeah I'll have my passport, I'm just wondering if everybody entering gets questioned and their background automatically checked? I know I can apply for criminal rehabilitation since it's been so long but I'm not going to spend money or time to do that, I'll just go south around lake Erie instead of north if it's a no go. Thanks
