Likes were still working for me, and I rarely like or comment with no strikes.

Ya weird. I went to another vidya and can still like that.

 

[Lord Xenu]

Everything seems normal with likes etc for me as well. No strikes or controversial shit on my part. Wow though, look at the likes on some of those. 800 likes in 2 hours!

lots of comments being deleted fast on that rebel video, Yaniv being protected from hurt feelings by the youtube admins i guess. sort by new you can see them disappear in almost real time

Are you local? The assisted transport services in my area are totally free. You don't need a transit pass.

Most of the "regular" (paid) transit is also accessible for a range of mobility issues, the DATS services are intended for people who require assistance. The regular transit bus driver can't really get out of their seat to man the lift or anything, DATS usually can.

It's not really something that seems widely abused, most humans respect that the service is limited and people who need it have priority. Plus, you would get your ass handed to you by senior citizens if they thought you were a faker.

I don't know enough about Vancouver-area transit to know whether the bus in the video was specifically for assisted transport, or if it was just a general purpose bus. But most of the buses in my area have wheelchair lifts,* and when the bus driver sees someone in a wheelchair waiting at a stop, they lower the lift without asking questions. Which makes sense: if I were in a wheelchair and I took a trip to Vancouver, I wouldn't want to go to the trouble of visiting TransLink HQ and getting a disability pass just to use the damn bus. The pass may be "free," but my time isn't free. I'd rather just buy a daily transit pass at the airport and use the regular buses with the wheelchair lifts.

So yes, if Yaniv is actually using assisted transit then he's a piece of shit who's absolutely scamming the system. But if he's just using regular buses and the SkyTrain, I suspect he's probably just using a regular transit pass that he paid for, especially considering that the scooty puff is clearly just a fashion accessory that he's apparently ditched in recent days.

*Actually, at this point most of the buses around here are low-floor "kneeling" buses that drop to the curb for wheelchair users and therefore don't have lifts. But you get the idea.

It's a legit Govt funded handicap bus that falls under public transit; I believe they're called Handy Dart. But like SourDiesel mentioned, you have to call ahead to book a ride as the buses don't follow a set route, and they're only accessable to approved people. There's some rows of seating inside, and a couple spots for wheelchairs and scooters. That fat disgusting potato could have at least used a seat, but of course he has to take up a valuable wheelchair spot. Just imagine some old lady or a person who had a bad stroke trying to get a ride to their doctors appointment only to have to wait because fatass scumbag jon is fraudulently occupying the spot.

Oh, well in that case fuck that guy.

He's using HandyDart which is a special door to door service for the disabled. He's more than capable of taking the bus (he has to walk past a bus stop to get to Miriam's) and posted a picture of himself from the drivers seat of a car this week. HandyDart is a system that's already stretched to its limits. BC doesn't have Uber and taxis are awful so if need a door to door service this is your only option. I think you need to book your ride like 2 weeks ahead of time at this point? Him abusing this for sure screws over the actually disabled.

There's even a major shortage of wheelchair accessible taxis. Lots of people in chairs are complaining that it takes forever to get a cab with a lift. Sometimes they don't even show up at all.

Uber and Lift might help, but I doubt many of their drivers will have wheelchair accessible vehicles. It might be a lucrative niche for someone to get into.

Exactly this - Especially since most Translink buses not only kneel, but have the wheelchair ramp that flips out, and every bus I have been on has loads of accessible room at the front. There's even a greyhound style bus that leaves from an exchange up the street from his house (which connects with one stop to an accessible skytrain station), that has one. He, even with his scootsmobile he barely seems to need, can hack regular transit no problem.

Edit to add - per Translink - even if he has a pass - he's still got to pay - passes don't qualify for HandyDart. So at least he's paying for the privilege of keeping someone more needy from the service.

I can seemingly add comments but it looks like likes have been turned off. I rarely comment on yt and don't have any reprimands. Anyone else seeing this?

Liking worked for me

It wouldn't surprise me if Youtube have some sort of fuckery where some users have their like and dislike privileges revoked.

At one point Matt Jarbo was saying they should take away the dislike button because every video he releases has more dislikes than views.

It must be a glitch it's working perfectly for me.

Worse than this is that the youth that are using these government grant services are not simply everyday kids from down the block with nice parents and a ride to work after school. We're talking about at-risk youth who have a hell of a hole to dig out of before they get to "$15 and an apartment just out of highschool". Half these kids are too busy trying to survive to even finish highschool on time.

If you're renting, it's even worse. When people realized that the elderly were being kicked out of their apartments or eating cans of cat food because they couldn't afford the rent, laws were created, so that the rent for longtime renters stay stagnant. Problem is, the value of currency changes, and the landlords weren't making enough money to maintain their apartment buildings. As a result, they either had to grossly inflate the rent for new tenants, or let the buildings deteriorate.

Remembered how Jon went apeshite over some 'weird Asian kid' photographing him on the Skytrain? I think he's actually using the Handy Dart as a literal troonshield to hide from the public, not because he's disabled. This is infuriating, because it shows that Jon is a grifter with no shayme, and none of us can do anything about it,

public transportation would put him into contact with brown people.

“The investigation is ongoing,” said Largy, and charges have not been laid. It is up to the B.C. Prosecution Service to decide whether or not to lay criminal charges.

She also said she has already been told to appear in Surrey Provincial Court on Dec. 5 on charges of possession of a prohibited weapon.

 

[Short Stack]

it says he has a court date Dec. 5th tho...So Y does one go to court if one hasn't been charged?

Holy shit I missed that!! JY has been charged with a crime! Holy fuck! Did we know that already?? Holy fuck!!


Janny edit: All further discussion goes in this thread: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/yaniv-charged-with-weapons-possession.60103/

And thank you @WGkitty for starting it. Reminder to everyone: if there's a remarkable news event? Start a new thread! Even if it's just a link. We can fix the OP later. It's a heck of a lot easier than moving posts and herding kiwis later.

 

[The Un-Clit]

This is the thing, it's not widely abused but it's in short supply regardless. Getting a disabled transit van to come get you is a huge pain in the ass. Where I am you can't just go stand on the corner at the bus stop and wait. You have to arrange it and make an appointment and wait so going back and forth to the grocery store can be an all-day event. The vehicles are in short supply at the best of times so any amount of abuse is going to fuck the system pretty badly for those who actually need it. And this fat fuck can walk just fine.

Exactly so. The system being abused here in B.C. by Jonnyboy is called HandyDART, and as I understand there is generally a pretty long wait for the service, ironically enough because of the large influx of "old Babas" aka the grandparents transplanted from India under the program that lets skilled people immigrate but bring their extended family. So Yaniv hates dirty Pakis for the delay in the system that he wants to grift off of more often. Go fucking figure.

I've never seen a scooty puff in bus before I don't know that they can handle them size-wise. NYC buses at least

The whole front quarter to third of buses here have flip up seats on both sides for wheelchairs etc. A scooty puff would take up valuable seat real estate, but it'd fit. But now I'm not sure if they're allowed... hm.

 

[one_time_user]

they are here. you can even bring your service dog and groceries. ten minutes to get them on, ten more to get them off. on a route that is supposed to be every 20 minutes. rush hour taking up 6+ seat spots. if someone was faking it here they'd get their ass beat. no one has time for that, it's hard enough to remind yourself to be an empathetic person to someone genuinely in need under the circumstances.
