    The Elites are not on our side. What's that famous quote by the comedian who passed too early? "It's a big club, and you ain't in it". Turns out CZ is in that club. Either you start in the club, or once you reach a certain level they do something to make sure you enter it. I think the best...

    Shit happens. I 100% agree with that, and it sucks. I could go outside, see a shiny object on the ground and go to look closer at it and BOOM, have a literal helicopter land on my head (a guy actually had a helicopter land on him in Vancouver while out jogging a few years back, I don't think...

    If I didn't have to have money confiscated from me every year to go towards my "free" healthcare I could have an extra house paid for free and clear by now. If something happened to my family I could take a mortgage on that house and pay for medical expenses literally ANYWHERE in the world. Or...

    Yes you do. There is nothing free in life. I have personally paid well over $100,000 towards my "free" healthcare through taxes.

    Canada has some of the worst healthcare I have ever seen. My mother has eye issues, and it is literally 18 months between major medical interventions. She needs to see the specialist? Just wait 6 months. Need that Surgery? Yea, wait close to two years please! But wait! Canadian health care is...

    That article was hilarious. They can pay Elon whatever they want. I am not sure how what they pay him has anything to do with their own personal lives. The only way he makes that money is if they perform exceptionally well.

    I literally sleep on a 3" mattress topper on the floor. So that's hilarious to me. My King size bed cost me like $180 Canadian. My back feels amazing on this, there is zero movement transfer from my wife or kids, and my kids can try and jump on it all they want. It has been a real game changer...

    I just had a meeting in downtown Calgary, where all the industry headquarters are. I park on the street and its always a decent hike to where I am going. What always strikes me right away is that a good 90% of everyone else walking around has white earbuds in. Are they all listening to...

    Windows 11 is straight up spyware that wants complete control of your system. Running Windows 11 and they dictate what you can do with the hardware, it really is no longer yours at that point.

    This makes my brain hurt. If you have so little money that you need to do door dash in your free time, why are you not making meals at home and bringing them with you? How expensive is a load of bread, some bananas and some meat? This reminds me of the ex wife of a buddy of mine from back in...

    Here is the proof! I had to change the number on it because I popped back to the house and there were more kids in the neighborhood than expected.

    The last 2 years I have left a bucket on my porch that says "take X number of candies". And I go out walking with the kids. Both years I have had enough candies left for like 5 more kids to come by. In fact lots of the houses I walk by with the kids do the same as me. I guess Canada still...

    I love my precious metals. What I don't love is the fact that it's pretty much paper these days, with nothing physical or real to actually back it up. As I age though I wonder if that even matters though? If no one else seems to care it acts as if it is real physical product. Plus you can...

    Holy smokes! Where about is that? Where I am its like 95% fun decorations. Fun blowup spiders, and minions and pumpkins. Versions of kids cartoons characters with obviously fake Halloween costumes on to make them look like mummies and stuff, very cutesy stuff. I get what you mean though. I...

    Man, Gandhi just drops those truth bombs all over the place! The idea of a big expensive wedding for a new young couple just blows my mind. If you are young and have limited resources, you literally want to set yourself back for years to have a big party that lasts one night? Would you do this...

    Well, I was so happy about my previous time climbing that mountain trail. I just did it again for what might very be the last time until May, as it's supposed to snow all weekend. I knocked another 5ish minutes off my time. Unreal. I'm contemplating getting a fat bike, or some kind of an indoor...
