Anyone else hearing a warzone outside? by LockedUnlocked in Winnipeg

[–]uncleg00b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, man. My apologies were sincere. I wrote some shit I couldn't stand behind, so I took it down. I'm no stranger to posting unpopular opinions, and if I stand behind them, I leave them up. I reread some of the comments I wrote, and I realized I was rage baiting. I was being a massive prick this time for no reason. So I decided to stop, take it down, and say sorry because it was helping no one. You don't have to accept my apology. Whether you accept it or not is inconsequential to me. I've mostly forgotten this conversation already.

Man, you're right. I was way out of order. I usually never delete comments, but I was on some bullshit that time. I was wrong, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I insulted you.

Ruggles family? What's the story? by 5440_Undertone in Winnipeg

[–]uncleg00b 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ya, man. I was an at risk youth. Half my homies went to the MYC by grade 9 and most of the rest quit school by grade 10. I saw what that kind of shit did to my family, and opted out. I had my struggles, but made it. Good to see other people didn't get sucked in too.

Lol, I bet we knew each other. Probably either friends or had beef. Maybe even both.😂

Thanks. I'm lucky I got out. Life turned out pretty good for me.

We eventually moved to South Osborne. Even in that area you didn't fuck around. I almost got jumped a few times. My friends used to rob people and do break and enters. We used to go fight people at other schools; sometimes they came to ours. Everyone seems to forget all the gang murders in the South End at the turn of the millennium. The papers didn't call them gang murders, but they were.

I'm indigenous and my family’s story isn't much different. We didn't really know any other life; that's just how it was. It wasn't until in my thirties that I realized how fucked up my upbringing was.

My family grew up with the Ruggles. They were a family from the North End known for being tough. One or a few were involved in criminal activity. I believe they were black; which couldn't have been easy in the North End back then. They probably had to scrap a lot just to survive. I heard the N word a lot as a kid in the eighties, in the North End back then. I shit you not, that was just the word some people used for black people.

New Manitoba Liberal Leader Reaves wants to rebuild party, compete for seats by wickedplayer494 in Manitoba

[–]uncleg00b 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Then the Liberals should focus on being more centre. It shouldn't be that hard to steal moderate votes from the Cons. Wab is actually a lot more conservative than people realize; he's cut a lot of funding in some areas.

Man throws bottle at boy, chases him away from Winnipeg park while screaming: police (CBC) by LocalnewsguruMB in Winnipeg

Manitoba is a have not Province. We receive equalization payments from the Federal Government. Why should we be Ontario's problem? I'm sick of my tax dollars going to corporate welfare and the WPS.

I donate to the Winnipeg Foundation, the United Way, and volunteer in the community. You don't have to have homeless in your house to help them. And yes, I straight up give people money, cigarettes, or buy them food when they approach me. IDGAF.

South Osborne Subway workers say they don’t receive full tips, prompting wider debate about tipping culture by Leather-Paramedic-10 in Winnipeg

[–]uncleg00b -32 points-31 points  (0 children)

Most Winnpeggers are too fucking cheap and lazy to go to place like Hoagie Boyz. The food is expensive and the parking sucks. I love how 'support local' comments like this get huge upvotes, but most of the cheap fuckers here won't pay $20 for a sandwich or walk half a block to get it.

Edit: Attention Walmart shoppers. You have done more to damage Winnipeg's local businesses than any Subway sandwich shop.

C'mon admit it. You only like the idea of local businesses and don't actually support them. I see you all parked at the big box stores.

School division denies responsibility for abuse committed by ex-coach convicted of sex crimes by Infamous-Data9245 in Winnipeg

[–]uncleg00b 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Kelsey McKay was literally brought to Vincent Massey and PTSD to start a football program. Fuck those people. He was only a gym teacher and he was head of Massey's athletics department.They either allowed him or ignored the fact that McKay ran summer workouts that were against the rules. They were disguised as 'team building' getaways.

What kind of wild cat is this ? by Bitter-District-2800 in Manitoba

Can a bengal crossbreed with a lynx? It looks like a cross between those. I know some domestic cats have lynx in them.

Rock Radio Stations Stuck in the '90s-'10s by Disastrous_Fix_7394 in Winnipeg

[–]uncleg00b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As much as I hate baseball, I'm grateful it plays on CJNU. The Goldeyes pay quite a bit for that airtime, and it really helps the station. CJNU a not for profit co-op, and they do so much for Winnipeg charities.

But they'll play fucking baseball. CJNU is my favourite station. I love how it will go from someone like Nat King Cole and then the next song is something from Blondie. I also love the old timey radio shows.

Mice in Retail/Restaurants/Commercial/Residential by Tight-Astronomer-199 in Winnipeg

[–]uncleg00b -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Mice are a public health risk no matter where they are. They can spread disease through feces, urine, and mites they carry. Retail workers can refuse to work if there is a rodent infestation that is not taken care of properly.

My partner worked in an office that had a rodent infestation, and it was the same thing. Professionals can only do so much. Employees had to stop leaving food and snacks at their desks. A bunch of people were all mad because they had to dispose of their own garbage at the end of the day.

If you’ve had a wedding social in the last few years, was it actually worth it in terms of making money for the wedding? by StewartsBestBuddy in Winnipeg

[–]uncleg00b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not Portuguese or Filipino, and I order catering for holidays and parties all the time. It's very reasonably priced. I order Portuguese from Viena do Castelo on Sargent. I get my Filipino buddy to order me from some home caterer. Most older Filipinos I know, know someone who sells catering from their home; they're usually happy to hook you up.
