    Not mathematical at all?

    What’s 1/x = x/1?

    Gibberish? Math? A unifying theorem that transcends math space and time?

    The blueprint for a perpetual motion machine?

    Weird flex how MOST of my posts appear sane?

    This is the kind of BS I left Reddit to get away with. It would be a shame if I created this community now wouldnt it?

    Maybe I’ll take my theorem to Toronto or Montreal. Fuck this dog shit smelling town amirite???



  • I just wiped out on my e-road bike going a bit too fast around a corner on a damp morning when roads were slick, and I feel like the speed I took the corner at would’ve resulted in the same thing on a motorcycle 😂

    I look at bikes like yours here and I wonder how different does it feel from riding on a motorcycle? Magnitudes lighter of course. I’ve never ever driven a motorcycle, wouldn’t mind a crotch rocket, got to ride on the back of a chopper a few times.

    I wasn’t much for helmets until I converted my road bike. I could even use an armored jacket or something lol



  • The nation desperately needs police reform!

    Stuff like this, or disabling body cam footage IMO should result in immediate termination and absolutely no union protection

    There’s someone working for Kingston Ontario police who was harassing his wife/girlfriend. There was an article about him pleading guilty that kept the victim 100% anonymous… Then he makes public statements to the press. Reveals its his significant other that they owned a home together with. Claims he “pleaded guilty because he couldn’t afford a legal defense.” You literally get one whether you can afford one or not.

    The guy makes 200k per year. Funny this hate criminal kicking heads is getting 18 months because so did this Kingston cop! A YEAR AND A HALF 100% PAID VACATION. Now he’s back with a comfy administrative desk job.

    You know what happens when locals criticise the cops? They literally tell us “you should be careful, we might now show up when you need us.”



  • …what do you get for $9 a month? I’m guessing you’re not in Ontario? Since I was a loyal long term customer I was lucky to get my bill down to 40 minus 10 bucks promotionally (which doesn’t show up in my account or say how long it’ll last) from 60 a month for 15GB of data. And now of course you can get more data for the same price or some shit as a new customer

    Opening up to international competition is one option… Honestly we could have Canadian companies be competitive but that would involve work and effort from all levels: government, consumer, and business.

    These dare the days of everyone wanting everything for free, but I’m not talking lazy hobos - I’m talking the entitled rich who think they can just keep sucking the rest of us dry indefinitely


  • Experience? If you say so, again just sounds like you’re quoting a textbook.

    If you’re referring to experience all the way back to your quality of life comment, how old are you? Quality of life has definitely dropped since baby boomers were in their 20s and 30s and 40s

    Sure we have netflix, we’re all interconnected and have instant access to information on the internet, but we can’t raise a family on a single income, we can’t pay off college or university with a single year of a summer job


  • …uh okay?

    So back to my questions, by what scale?

    Care to have a conversation and not just repeat random excerpts you read from a textbook?

    So tell me, how exactly are we expected to consume all those goods in that basket that are used to measure inflation, when we are not paid in proportion to our increased productivity? Do those goods just pay for themselves with wages we do not receive?



  • By what scale? Medieval peasants only had to pay 10% in taxes and got sooooo much free time. Technology even today is still bad for us, but nature and free time? Come on, what’s the point of having all these gadgets and what not if we don’t have the time to use them, and they’re all run by faceless corporations who make things as addictive and monetized as possible?

    Productivity. That’s what you want to compare to wages, and it has definitely increased faster than wages, so why aren’t the workers being paid proportionately to their increased productivity?
