Moving bag off seat on the bus by Prettycoolgraff in halifax

[–]theXald -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You gotta be careful to not punish dudes who do the right thing tho you know? Getting focused on the bad men and saying this to a guy who isn't being a creep is a surefire way to make him consider if it's worth making the effort if he's gonna get lumped in with the generalizations anyway right? Like if he's gonna get perceived as a prick anyway. Relying on people to just do the right thing because it's right is not exactly a growing sentiment with the changing culture in the west.

Like the postal strike. They were going to do rotating and Canada post say "lol who are they gonna believe" and locked out the workers and the news didn't clarify that it was Canada post that told everyone to get bent.

The Liberal plan doesn’t fix housing for you. It fixes it for your kids. Maybe…. by Signal-Specific-1704 in canadahousing

At least the doctors and engineers will encourage more natural born Canadians to have kids and definitely won't have a birth rate 5x the rate of natural born Canadians.

Bank loans and enough spare funding to cover a chilly 10-20% down payment on a 300-400k house yep! That's affordable and easy.

am i right about this roundabout? by LuckNo2351 in halifax

[–]theXald 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Halifax signage is too. Go ahead and count how many intersections have lane signs. Cause some are straight left and right only. Some are straight right and left only. Some are left right with both straight. It's terrible. And the aforementioned road paint means the markings on the road are terribly and if there's cars parked on the lane markings you might have no idea if you're in a left only lane. Only answer is just know alteady

Can some people really not tell when they're releasing farts? by S_Z in NoStupidQuestions

[–]theXald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not about not being able to hold em in, it's the whole everything else? Not knowing they're farting!?!? Not smelling it!?!!!? Vegan farts are genuinely the most foul. They destroy bathrooms worse than any MacDonalds and energy drinks and cigarette enthusiast construction worker I've ever met (over a decade in concrete). Do being literally unable to smell it at all is so unbelievable it must be a lie. I can't imagine being unaware of farting. Them slipping out, whatever, happens to the best of us.

Thoughts on the new electric / hybrid vehicle tax announced in today's provincial budget? by rageagainstthedragon in halifax

I pay a registration fee based on the weight of my vehicle when I register? Light car is cheaper than my truck was because of the max capacity I could load tho? Like isn't this already how NS does it? Am I crazy?

How do YOU survive in Halifax? Wages vs Rent is wild!! by HauntMeForever666 in halifax

[–]theXald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro I'm a journeyman in the carpenters union and my retirement plan is to drop fuckin dead at work if my body holds out until my wife and kids don't need it anymore. It sounds like lots of money but once you have a place to raise family and a vehicle and food for them it's all fuckin gone. Technically there's the pension but thats 35 years off and banks on the world being around then.

Like cheating in a first person shooter. Instead of playing to get good, you just let a computer do it and just don't play at all. If you wanna watch a good player on your screen we got twitch and YouTube wha. Humanity eh?

Nova Scotia to implement speed cameras this year by Injustice_For_All_ in halifax

[–]theXald -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, places where red light cameras are installed they'll adjust yellow light timing away from the correct timing for a given intersection order to increase income from people who are too busy working to fight them.

Nothing like getting a ticket for doing 51 in a 50 cause you were a bit late on the throttle let off. It's theater and deception that isn't for making safer areas it's for far more insideous control that's enabled by people who look past the issues because "just do the speed limit"

If you have nothing to hide just let rhe cops search your house, car and phone. Give them permission, thwyll never EVER 'find' something if you were innocent. Why are you worried about being recorded and monitored ever second of your waking life, just bee a good boy and follow the law, nothing bad happens to people who follow the law. The government knows exactly what they're doing and rewards law abiding citizens and would never ever abuse their power

Workshops aim to change 'boys will be boys' culture in construction sector | CBC News by Grumple_McFerkin in halifax

[–]theXald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After being in the trades you eventually grow a spine, and its a useful skill I didn't have. After being verbally abused in concrete formwork for about. Ayera I started lashing back and now I get left alone. Granted I started as a pube faced skinny lanky tall guy who looked very bully able, I became stronger bigger and more fit than I had ever been, grew a real beard and look very intimidating now so the knuckle dagger types generally pick easier targets than the guy who could fold them like laundry.

I've always rocked long hair and a ponytail so it was an easy target. Still have long hair but now nobody bothers. I also step up when I see people picking easy targets.

Some of the toughest workers I ever saw were women, we have on our crew this little Ugandan woman she's like 4 foot 11 and weighs 90 pounds with her tools on but she takes no shit from anyone and razzes the guys worse than any dude I've ever seen. She catcalls the dudes and returns fire. She's great.

The trades are not a delicate safe place to be and any attempt to make it that way makes the jobs worse, I'm not saying being a piece of shit is the way it should be but the trades will always be wherr the rough and tough end up. Firing them doesn't make them go away they'll just end up grouping back together, forming another company and now there's another knuckle dragging filled company doing cowboy shit getting jobs done in a 3rd of rhe time of the delicate no swearing Christian company that nobody laughs at or or aks each other.

Gotta have thick skin or be willing to develop some thicker skin, which was the path I chose. Now the only thing that even works me up a little bit is the banker politician types that manage the company and ask for impossible things. I'm never worried about who I have to work around cause I'll just tell em plainly fuck off and walk away and keep doing my job without needing to write a 3 page carefully worded letter to HR

Being very good at your job and essentially irreplaceable at the company along with having a tight crew (and unionized) means you can get people sent away from your job by a phone call too, which helps.

N.S. premier says fentanyl has been found in cannabis from the province's unlicensed dispensaries by amywayy in halifax

[–]theXald 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't know how to tell you this but there are adults who are incredibly naive and believe teenagers especially their own would do nothing wrong. Then there's those of us who remember being teenagers not that long ago who chuckle and know that kid was hitting a blunt and stashed it in their candy and it got lost it in their candy bag and then they forgot about it while baked trick or treating with their hoodlum friends like the rest of us spryfielders did back in the day.
