- Cool. I work at a place that offers transitional housing, including pet-friendly and queer-friendly; while about 1/3 actually use it to turn things around, the other 2/3 use it to party and rage. I'm the one cleaning it up. (71)

Original title:Thunder Bay has this new amazing, innovative idea. It is called a Sidewalk
Post summary:K, some rules for sidewalk use. If they're built, don't walk in the middle of the road. If it's raining or snowing, I get it, but in this nice weather the two yuppies I just encountered had to stop it. They're not for parking. No excuses. As a walker, I've encountered a big truck in the middle of the sidewalk many times. What frustrates me more is that there's plenty of room on the road, and often they could even pull fully into a driveway. If you do this, you're some kind of

- I see a fellow enjoyer of order, rules, and social structure. You should check out the bike lane on Court Street at St. Pat's Ignatius at 3:30 on any school day heading to the boulevard. The street is full of spoiled parents with their grown kids, it's chaos. Forget the bike lane, just walking on the road is hard enough. (18)

The cars were crawling, and this idiot's jump scared them by flying past on his stupid bike. Add that to your rules. (12)
EN: Just saw a guy ripping down the sidewalk on an e-bike on Memorial. Almost got hit by TWO vehicles in like 3 driveways. The vehicles were crawling up slowly and this idiot jump scares them by FLYING by on his stupid bike. - I agree with you on this point. From my living room window, seeing the perfect sidewalk, about half the people walk on the road all day, I don't get it. Most people are walking while staring at their phones, and you see them slowly drift to one side or the other, disrupting traffic, people trying to avoid hitting them, not to mention those with earbuds in completely unaware of their surroundings. For this tech-challenged boomer, it's truly confusing. (5)

4. Is it worth being a delivery driver/Uber Eats/Instacart worker for the energy required? Also, are there any good jobs in tbay that require little to no human contact? （ 46 ｜ 12 ｜ 17）
Original title:Is being a delivery/uber eats/instacart worker worth the pay for the energy required? And plus any good jobs in tbay that require little to no contact with people?
Post summary:Hey, just curious, are delivery driver jobs any good? Also, for an introvert who doesn't really like interacting with people, if there are any good jobs. If I can work alone the most, that's when I do my best. I don't have a university degree, just some college education, but I dropped out. Not into heavy labor like construction. Thanks!

Honestly, if you don't have any schooling or other skills, your job options are either service-based (retail, food service, customer service, etc.) or manual labor. If you're not interested in any of those, you need to go back to school and do something else. (6)

5. Sleeping Giant hike （ 38 ｜ 12 ｜ 13）
Original title:Sleeping Giant Hike
Post summary:Me and some friends are coming from Minnesota to do a day hike to the Top of the Giant in mid-to-late July. We're staying two nights at Marie Louise. I've read and watched about the Top of the Giant trail - some questions from locals - is it better to bike the first few kilometers than walk/hike? If so, where in town can we rent an extra bike (and does it come with a helmet)? Also, how bad are black flies, mosquitoes, and ticks on the trail and at the campsite? Minnesota gets so bad

I find by late July it's not as bad as early summer. Bring an EpiPen, bug spray, and sunscreen.
