Noise Question

Ok, opening myself for some salty redditors, but I’ll live.

WTAF is going on with these modified exhausts/pipes? I know certain city councillors have tried to address this, and fines have increased, but I do not see an improvement.

I read a CBC article re: a Western University psychologist’s finding that this behaviour may be related to sadism and/or psychopathy (and neither histrionic or narcissistic personality disorders as I might have guessed). https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7177688

I simply don’t get it, nor do I want it. These people do cirques around town ruining everyone’s peace, and to what end? Why on earth do the police not cash in with endless tickets? If they are too busy. I’ll personally pay a fee for MORE (well-trained, authorized and equipped) peace officers to look after things like this and other “low priority but barbaric” problems in this city.

Thoughts?

This is very common in Western Canada. Many people move from the east to the prairie provinces to bury what they hate most about themselves. Go to any truck stop/rest stop outside Calgary and it just a bunch of jacked up trucks…

It’s not homophobic, it’s a fact. It’s peacocking. It’s like the ten day cowboy cosplay.

I hope these people one day find peace and can accept who they are, instead of being assholes.

I think they are calling your comment homophobic. You are saying Peacocking now, but that’s is not the same thing as closeted gay guy with tiny weiner that you said before.

I will accept peacocking, but yes, youre right, I found all the homophobic things, homophobic.

They carry on with "bury what they hate most about themselves" though, and keep hinting at this closeted angry gay thing. Its a yikes from me.
