  • Yikes, that's a lot of assumptions you made about me from one sentence. Personally I've never had to steal, I grew up middle class and had the opportunity to build up savings to become financially independent, just like you apparently.

    I just learned empathy while growing up, so I can understand that some people didn't have the same opportunities I had, and now have to resort to stealing.

  • Just drove up there this past weekend. Unless you have a handi placard you can't drive right up to the lake, if you're lucky you can get parking in the overflow just a little bit before the turn of to Moraine Lake and hike the rest of the way. Very gorgeous and Lake Louise which isa short drive further up the road is also equally beautiful.

  • What's something you used to do/see/say but don't anymore because you don't feel it's right?
  • I respect your intuition to drop problematic phrases but you may have been lead astray on "rule of thumb" by a very common rumour (Wikipedia calls it 'modern folk etymology') that that is where it originated.

    In fact no law ever existed and it was more used in trades as thumbs were an easy mode of measurement available to anyone (similar to the use of feet to measure!)

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thumb

    The Wikipedia article even explains the "switch" rumour and provides some backstory and explanation to it.

    So don't feel weird using Rule of Thumb; it has more to do with carpentry than anything else.
