Yeah I know there were some rant threads over the years grinds my gears and whatever. I don't think any of them were that happening to dig up. I probably made one of them honestly. Whatever.

I figured if we could rant somewhere we'd be more docile creatures in the rest of the forums.

yeah the pop ups are pretty annoying and why i never go to unofficial networks anymore. the NS one that is currently on the page isnt the worst. pretty easy to click the x out of it. still annoys the fuck out of me as it feels like 2000s ads. i personally would be less likely to buy something that is on a popup ad vs a banner ad. but over all im pretty un impacted web ads anyway so im sure my feedback doesn’t matter anyway

i still check on it just to see what's posted but unofficial is so bad it's hilarious. ads all over the place (coming from someone who doesn't mind ads unless they're intrusive) and it's like they're required to have several grammar or copyediting mistakes in every single post. and most of the writing is 8th grader/AI level lol

Or maybe the money hungry capitalists should do their math again. Easier to charge more when you can claim it's just because of the tax increase. there is not limit in greediness.
My daycare level economic calculations say that when you add the capitalist mark up to the mix , 15% total increase is not too far from the truth.

Haven’t spoken to this couple(#1) since like January/February and our friends(couple #2) ran into them yesterday at a bar and apparently all they did was talk shit about me and my boyfriend as if we weren’t still friends with couple #2. It was amusing. Gotta love being 30 years old and acting like you’re still in high school with petty shit lol. So glad they are no longer in our lives.

is there a remote for the fan that would let you turn off the lights? That's how my fan is, when you flick the switch however the fan was last on is how it comes on, you then gotta use a remote to turn lights on/off or change speed.

About to find out if they really have cameras/ charge you for toll lane weaving. This Tacoma was left lane camping, so I sped around them and they got pissed and were strobing their brights at me (even though I gave them two lanes of distance while I passed they were just triggered by my speed) then I got blocked in by a slow left lane Macan ahead so the Tacoma guy got on my ass road raging, so I put my window down waved bye bye whipped into toll lane and put two miles between us in the empty toll lane. Felt great but I can guarantee his hating ass is personally reporting my plates to EZ pass lol so mighta cost $250 to flex on the poor so worth it I guess lol

Tacoma guys need to go away. For ever.

Me and my friend were in right lane watching a Tacoma flipping people off out the window and undertaking people at 90ish mph (flat out in slow POS Tacoma).

We decided to follow him to see why he was in such a hurry. He was going to muthafucking IKEA.

Don't fucking get me started...had to drive into Toronto last month and almost lost it on some goober. The driver training in this shithole province seriously needs an overhaul. When I was a kid, it was all the serbs in Kitchener, now its all the damn brampton mans. Stopped riding my bike everywhere cause I felt like each ride took 10 years off my lifespan.

It can't be worse than Vancouver. I've visited a handful of Provinces, 30+ states, a few countries mostly in Western Europe and Central America and driving here is by far the worst of anywhere I've been.

Apparently my new laptop with the latest version of windows was TOO up to date and my schools software wasn’t caught up yet. Support told me I had uninstall the whole ass operating system and install the “newest older version,” which I did, so here I am spending 3 hours installing and having to setup a newly wiped PC to take a 10 minute practice quiz.

Honestly Van drivers are somehow better. I've been all over Canada and the US and the GTA has the worst drivers by far. When I was living in Idaho I'd go down to SLC regularly to visit family, and they'd always be freaking out and tell me to watch out for the horrible drivers. But GTA drivers make SLC drivers look like normal, balanced individuals.
