Anyone who says sodie pop has a grade level education that can be counted on one hand.

Foggy as hell traveling from High River to Okotoks this morning and all the a...holes driving with no driving lights front or back and a lot with no back lights. Are u all so stupid to make yourselves visible in bad weather. It's not rocket science just pretend its dark out.

Was that you doing 65kph while having the full off road package lights?

Oh yeah it’s no indictment on being a good person, but yeah, understood.

They don't use them when it's dark out either.

A Chat GPT hand?

Why do high school kids still need a graphing calculator for high school math? It seems like every antiquated technology and really they should be doing any of the calculations on a tab/computer app or using something programmable like R or Python. It seems like such a waste of money to be spending $200 or more on a calculator.

I'm pretty sure it's because graphing calculators cannot surf the web. I had to buy my son one too and was pissed I couldn't find my old TI85 from college. It's the same tech level as the ones they sell now.

Tired of hearing about Donald Trump. Are people capable of talking about anything else? How about leaders or issues from any other countries around the world? Nothing makes me cringe more than being in a group setting and then someone saying "Did you see what Trump/said today???" Followed by the mandatory "He's such a ......"
Instantly makes me want to leave.

I was hoping I still had my Ti-83 but it is no where to be found and I'm not pulling any boxes down from my garage storage.

It’s kind of my favourite topic, as much as I’d like it not to be.

You’re the dude that’s financially well off and could retire or whatever right?

Maybe other people have some #### to worry about, don’t you think?

What does income level or ability to retire have to do with being able to be interested in more than one topic?

Are you implying that tariffs make it impossible for people who aren't financially well off to talk about anything else? They don't read books, have hobbies or care about other topics? Or that when these people talk about Donald Trump and don't bring up tariffs but only constantly talk about how detestable he is that's directly tied to income? Shouldn't someone with a high income be just as vested in talking about him if the tariffs have a major effect on the stock market and retirement plans?

Man, that's a take.

I think it’s understandable Tariffs and Trump were the topic of discussion this weekend for sure .

But I do understand the point - but to be fair not that different from people talking about it how horrible JT is (and I am a firm believer he’s terrible)

At some point it does get tedious

I think Justin Trudeau might be the dumbest and most useless leader of a Nation since George W. Neither of those two clowns could find their own asses with both hands and a map.

Drumpf is another level though. He's like...'malicious chaotic' its hard to wrap your head around.

[Geraldsh]

It kind of grinds my gears that Trudeau is going to exit with the legacy of being a good leader, the man who stood up to Trump. His past leadership will be forgotten and the economic woes of the trade war will fall to the new leader.
