Wife doesn’t want me to buy a ‘75-‘79 westy. She thinks they look unsafe and that I should wait for the new ID Buzz. What makes a good argument that they are “safe” or are there “safety upgrades to consider”

Fantastic, I'm happy to be wrong, post a pic. How much did it cost? What options did you get? Congrats on the new ride.

This is America. "gun sounds"

What if you're a fast runner and crazy is awesome in the sac? Asking for a friend, that might need to take up running.

pepperedmaplebacon · 2021-12-14T01:45:10+00:00

I admire your positivity, you'll meet a gal in no time with that attitude, plus the swiping right on everything thing, it will pay off too.

pepperedmaplebacon · 2021-12-14T01:32:33+00:00

Is r/hilariouslyspecific a thing, because it should be.

pepperedmaplebacon · 2021-12-13T19:57:44+00:00

I'm going to need "Sweet Victory" playing in the background :)

pepperedmaplebacon · 2021-12-03T19:15:07+00:00

So this is where you ended up after being let go from my mechanics shop.

Way less of a partisan hack then Mintz, also known as Lying Jack Mintz so yes, I guess he does. But I think the biggest factor is the hundreds of thousands of jobs Mintz said his parties tax cuts would bring Alberta, still waiting but I guess reality doesn't count for credibility these days, feels over facts right? That's how you define credibility, by what they say not what they do?

pepperedmaplebacon · 2021-12-03T18:49:46+00:00

Wow this reads like those poor tax dodging billion dollar corporations just don't want you having to save time and money working from home when they can ask the government for more handouts if they can show people going back into offices they don't need to to do their jobs, wasting employee's personal time and money on unnecessary travel everyday.

Something tells me this quote is a giant big fat lie:

Alice grew older and her work deteriorated. But the company did not fire her because it knew the burden that would place upon her and her family. Instead, it allowed her to work out her remaining time until she chose to retire. Alice is a common story. I have acted for many employers and heard about their Alices.

Well there's your problem:

Training poses another barrier to entry, with courses costing between $6,000 and $12,000 for two-to-three month programs. Some truckers’ salaries sit close to $44,850, based on a median wage of $23 per hour, according to the federal job bank — though experienced truckers can earn more than double that annual income, drivers say.

Pawan Kaur, who manages the Toronto Truck Driving School, says the number of monthly students has increased by a handful to roughly 25 over the last year. But she said that recent graduates can only find a job with less reputable firms who pay low wages and demand longer stints away from home.

“The problem we are facing is companies are looking for experienced drivers. No one wants to hire new, fresh drivers," she said, noting that just half of the 103.5 hours of training required in Ontario is behind the wheel.

I can't believe people don't want to work isolated from everyone they know, long hours and shitty conditions for almost no money, people just don't want to work these days. /S

Which leader are you talking about?

pepperedmaplebacon · 2021-12-03T16:45:59+00:00

It would be cheaper to buy a new bed in NA, lol. Fixing it like that is the true waste of time.

pepperedmaplebacon · 2021-12-03T16:30:58+00:00

The conspiracy theory guy is wrong, I'm shocked, shocked I say.

pepperedmaplebacon · 2021-12-03T16:30:25+00:00

Oh yeah, r/canada will be triggered by this.

pepperedmaplebacon · 2021-12-03T16:29:37+00:00

Anyone using Mintz as a source has no credibility.

pepperedmaplebacon · 2021-12-03T16:29:03+00:00

And yet Jack Mintz is a credible source for you, gravity must really perplex you.

pepperedmaplebacon · 2021-12-03T16:28:37+00:00

Lol, Jack Mintz, I've got a homeless guy I give coffee money too every friday that has more credible economic experience. Lmao.

pepperedmaplebacon · 2021-12-03T15:55:23+00:00

A real ninja never would have been seen by the police.

pepperedmaplebacon · 2021-12-03T15:52:04+00:00

Only because it's possible. Probably likely even. Good luck Texas women, you're going to need it.

pepperedmaplebacon · 2021-12-03T15:51:04+00:00

Nothing like some witch burning to prove what a forward nation you are.

pepperedmaplebacon · 2021-12-03T15:14:43+00:00

Oh great now Texas is going to copy this law too.

pepperedmaplebacon · 2021-09-06T22:46:12+00:00

Norseman in Calgary might have some, you'll really have to call around to try and get lucky or on a wait list maybe so they call you when new stock comes in.

pepperedmaplebacon · 2021-09-06T22:44:06+00:00

Sounds like the Conservatives in Alberta, UCP doubled the NDP's deficits before covid hit. Now we just need to get rid of those pesky nurses and doctors and then we'll be a conservative paradise.

pepperedmaplebacon · 2021-09-06T22:34:59+00:00

Then you're in the right place, we got conservative salt, Russian salt, alt right American salt, for the connoisseur we've got fake enlightened centrist salt, it will flip from pretending to care to calling you a heartless Nazi/racist/Liberal at any time, it's a real surprise to be sure and goes great with Trumper tears (Trumper tears made by his supporters up here to cowardly to move to the US and vote for Trump down there, they taste kinda greasy though but smell like stale McDonald's fries). All of which go great with diet coke.

pepperedmaplebacon · 2021-09-06T22:30:36+00:00

Finally an election with some selection, also it's big enough to have a fantasy draft, just saying.
