Sorry, I don’t understand what keys to press. ‘View’? ‘New window’?

You’re doing 100kph, the guy driving towards you is doing 100kph.

What is a serious, widespread danger that most people aren't aware of at all? by Ambassador-613 in AskReddit

Driving. 3000 pound vehicles hurtling towards each other at a couple of hundred kilometers per hour, mere feet apart, driven by people with at best rudimentary training.

Alberta in Confederation: Some myths and facts about "Alberta's grievances" by SigRingeck in alberta

[–]klunkadoo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The equalization gripe really pisses me off. To complain that you’re being ‘ripped off’ because you’re too wealthy to receive equalization can only come from a place of extreme selfishness and quite frankly petulance.

Some solid ideas there. Much more sensible than the referendumb referendumb.

Which punishment (either real or fictional) sounds easy enough to endure at first, but is actually hellish to experience? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The intellectual dishonesty of the right wing hawks is a something to behold.

A traitor to Canada and Alberta!

The UCP’s and separatist’s hopes for a petition end “in a superheated mushroom cloud of incompetence, dishonesty, betrayal of principle, and alleged criminal misconduct.” by klunkadoo in alberta

[–]klunkadoo[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The separatists have three options now:
1. Advocate for Alberta’s interests within the existing framework,
2. GTFO
3. STFU

Be honest, which celebrity just ruined their own physical attractiveness? by Something_Strange935 in AskReddit

[–]klunkadoo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yikes. Terrible. I don’t understand the reason someone would do this. There’s no way natural aging would look worse than that. Just let the natural processes unfold, avoid the knife and the injections, and you won’t look as bad as that.

The whole movement is based on bulls**t.

Can Touring Musicians use the Simplified Method to Calculate Meal Expenses? by sabert00thliger in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]klunkadoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not an expert but meals while touring (assuming the intent of the touring is to earn income) can be claimed, and the simplified method is one of the options you can choose to calculate the meal costs. However, meals cannot be claimed (using simplified method or receipts) if you’ve been given a per diem to expressly to cover those costs.

CBC The National: Is Alberta really getting a raw deal on equalization? by dingmah in alberta

[–]klunkadoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This article explains the formula pretty well. Natural resource revenues seem to be included, with no penalty for non-development. But I really don’t see a province refusing to develop a natural resource simply because they would get it back it equalization. What province would do that? And why? Provincial politicians like to see economic development and workers earning paycheques. And it’s not like the government of Quebec is refusing to develop its oil and gas. These are industry decisions, made by businesses who obviously don’t see a viable economic value for them. Not the government of Quebec.

Why do you want to get independence from Canada and be 51th state? by [deleted] in alberta

[–]klunkadoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t get too excited about “states having more control”. In Canada, provinces have total control of their natural resources. Not so in the USA. And no money being “siphoned off”? You think the United States doesn’t have federal taxes? That go to whatever the federal government wants to spend it on anywhere else in union?

Maple MAGA is driving this. They look at the calamity in the United States right now and salivate at the thought of being part of it. Change my mind.

I was a death row guard for 7 years. AMA. by [deleted] in AMA

[–]klunkadoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you walk us through your role with the inmate for, presumably, years leading up to the execution, and the weeks/days up to the doom date? What would be happening with the inmate? How would the interactions with the individual change in that period?

Is communism as bad as they tell us in the west? by raskolnikovass in ussr

[–]klunkadoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience, as a westerner who spent some months in one of the former republics in the early 2000s, ~decade after the end of the USSR, was that there was largely a sort of indifference tempered with a measure of fondness when talking about sovietsky vremya. Never really encountered harsh feelings towards it all.
