  • I hate how Via Rail is trying to call it “an inconvenience.”

    A train being 15 minutes late is an inconvenience. A train running out of the sandwich you like is an inconvenience. This was a complete lack of emergency planning and care for the passengers. The fact that a diabetic person has to be rescued off the train is appalling.

    There needs to be regulations brought in to stop any transportation business from being able to literally trap people like this all because they don’t want to pay to make it right.

    The business will always only do what’s best for them. They’re becoming less and less afraid of bad PR. So we need to make them care again with regulations, fines, and even criminal charges when it reaches that threshold.







  • It sounds like she’s an introvert, and you’re an extrovert.

    For you, chatting is effortless and energizing. For her, it requires effort and can be draining.

    Meanwhile, you find mental exercises like deep thought or creating require effort and can be draining. For her, these are effortless and energizing.

    You need to talk with her about her and your needs, and you must recognize the differences between you and find a middle ground where you can each be happy. That could mean you go out with friends to get your chatting needs and give her the space to recharge, and you and her find topics that interest her to talk about.

    One last bit of advice: don’t treat this like it’s a you versus her problem. Treat it like it’s you and her versus the problem. The collaborative approach will yield better solutions and results.










  • As it stands currently, automation hurts everyone except the business.

    When a business replaces a job with automation, they do it because it will save them money. They no longer have to pay a wage and the associated taxes with it, like EI, CPP, or worker’s compensation.

    This hurts the worker, obviously, but it also hurts the government. There is now less revenue in the form of income tax. Currently, the majority of government revenue comes from income tax. This means less money for healthcare, education, and other government programs.

    I’m not against automation, but I think it needs to be done responsibly. We should start taxing automation where it replaces a job, and use that money to help retrain workers for new jobs.


  • I like to believe that spez has a room, down in his bunker, that is full to the tits with freeze dried dicks. Just bag after bag jammed in there so tight that the door pops open and they spill out. The door is probably labeled “Steve’s Num-Nums.”

    And every night, spez sneaks down there to eat a bag of freeze dried dicks.
