Oh yeah, I don’t think either are great, but at least Uber didn’t require drivers to submit to some crazy legal Ponzi scheme while paying for special driver’s licenses and competing with other drivers for the good shifts on a shared taxi licence. The Taxi mafia lobbied my city pretty hard and now Ubers get the opportunity to lose money to a middle man too! I’ve seen a bunch of taxis straight up also driving for Uber throughout the city.

Taxi drivers in my city also have something else Uber drivers don’t- a licence that was bought decades ago and is limited to a certain number, they never expire and can be bought and sold between private parties and you end up with one asshole who owns a bunch and rents out the licenced car to drivers who pay him a rent. It’s a pretty hardcore mafia and predates on immigrants.

They are also fucking maniacs who almost kill people every day with their reckless driving, but Ubers do that too.

Canada: Rush - Tom Sawyer.

It was actually a bigger hit in the US.

So you said it yesterday without any proof or knowledge? Why would you make such a statement when you come from a place of ignorance? Would you have come here and declared you’ve reversed your position and apologized to the people you zealously argued against from said place of ignorance or did you only do so when called out?

Human to bat conversion?

I Always thought he just wanted to flush xitter, it never occurred to me that he was actually trying to succeed.

Prequels are hot garbage, they were only saved by the memes. A pessimist could argue that an incredibly successful viral marketing campaign saved them.

I really don’t see why not if it tastes good. Sounds like a win all around if you want to eat meat.

I love it. We’re here to watch people play games after all, there should always be a way to work it out.

I never understand this, the last time I needed an MRI I got it done within the same day. Canadian healthcare can have its downsides but when you need something you get it quick.

I find they have a faint botanical/vegetal perfume and a buttery flavor.

And as a Canadian I have never met anyone who went to the US for healthcare and as a middle class person I grew up with people poorer and richer than myself.

Canadian healthcare - I got surgery within the space of a month for something totally non-life-threatening and didn’t pay a cent other than my taxes, which cost less than American health insurance monthly. The amount of people I know who went to the US to get simple procedures done is exactly zero, and all this information is directly from - a Canadian.

Wait my Zoomer buddy definitely has a wallet thicker that George Costanza’s. I’m starting to think the internet is just full of lies for making us hate each other.

Testosterone level AND weight. Wait til they find out what happens when you’re on hormone blockers.

Ah! That goes to show how our local experience shapes our definition of things. Is the malt syrup or honey more traditional (I’m guessing honey but you never know)?

I recently, as a lifelong montrealer, spent a few days in Manhattan and tried the bagels. Montreal bagels have this kind of faint aroma you get from the honey in the dough that I just didn’t find in New York bagels, the flavor of the new York bagels was much closer to bread but the texture was great. Also, maybe a New Yorker could answer this, but were they always so big with almost no hole or is that a development from them being used for sandwiches?

Double edge razor, I haven’t nicked myself yet. I definitely tore some skin with an electric razor though.

and viola bassoon that number is how old you have become.

Much better.
