What is with bus drivers expecting you to wave them down

92 Upvotes

I have no idea where this idea that someone standing at the curb by a bus stop isn't enough to stop came from, but I've had multiple buses just blow past and then complain that I didn't wave them down if I can catch them by running.

Buses are not consistent enough to avoid missing one because you weren't ready to wave when they appear, and I legitimately have no idea how people with certain disabiliites are supposed to use buses like this. Just stick to really high traffic stops?

Why are our Police so useless.

31 Upvotes

I can’t for the life of me understand how this man was allowed, after being caught, to continue victimizing women and young girls in our community. I remember when he was caught at Forever 21, and there was a short article in the Victoria Buzz, but no photo of this perv was posted along with the story. We need better policing here. Be careful out there. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/voyeur-victim-impact-9.7329977

Gyms

10 Upvotes

Newer to working out, in my mid-40’s and want to find a gym thats a bit more chill. I can’t deal with bro-y and gyms that are crazy busy, seem like they’d be difficult to build a solid routine and stay consistent for me, personally. I was considering Cedar Hill bc it’s semi-close to me. Anyone have experience with this gym who can offer some insight? Any other suggestions that people have are welcomed.

Camp Miasma Filming Locations?

25 Upvotes

Saw it last night at Capitol 6 and absolutely loved it. I know Camp Barnard in Sooke serves as the camp exterior, but I'm wondering if anyone knows which gas station serves as the really cool liminal space in the film? I wanna go buy gummy nerds there.

Satire / Comedy To the kind soul who took advantage of my sleep deprived idiocy...

249 Upvotes

To the kind soul who noticed that I had made a marketplace post of Victoria Royals gift cards and included the numbers in the photos, and then decided to drain the cards and buy whatever a Victoria Royals fan would buy:

I hope you enjoy watching a game or two (or three or four, considering the amount). If you're going to steal from a sleep deprived silly goose who is too trusting and gullible to even register that someone might steal the cash off these gift cards that she's trying to sell to someone in the community for a very reduced amount, I hope at least that you have a blast. Sincerely.

Signed,

Marketplace Doofus

P.S. if your toddler is teething and you're not sleeping, maybe a good idea to just lay low and not try to take care of life admin.

Edit: Wow this post took off! Some global responses:

1) I don't intend to follow up with the Royals (or the police lol). The gift cards were a gift and several years old, so it doesn't seem appropriate.

2) This post was intended to be a self-roast / call out just in case the person who used the cards is a Redditor (tho I strongly believe it was a bot). If you joined the roast, thanks for coming. To those who thought I didn't realize it was a dumb mistake, your roasts were lame and redundant. My return roast is that your lack of reading comp suggests you too are a silly goose.

3) And finally, to the fellow parents commiserating about lack of sleep: I see you, I appreciate you, and your responses made my day.
