If he really was sick, I really feel for musicians. Yes they CAN make a shitload of money, but that travelling and the pressure to always go to work no matter what the fuck happens to you is a lot.

I had to look this guy up. It looks like hes a Soundcloud rapper gone big. Probably folks are giving him plays because they make the same mistake I do lol
This man probably owes his entire career to Da Baby

Why would a grown man want Lil Baby as their stage name?

Is EasyPark the same as Impark and Diamond and all those other parking companies with the BS tickets or is that actually the name of CoV parking? I got a $48 ticket for being a couple minutes over at Stanley Park which seems excessive.

Easy Park is CoV. You can call them they might give you a freebee if it's your first time. Used to be $35 tickets I guess inflation now.

It used to be called Vancouver Parking Corporation which sounds kinda cold.
Now it sounds like you're parking on your own driveway!
Be lucky it wasn't Diamond. Would probably be $85.

They can not affect your insurance or credit rating, anything they say otherwise is complete nonsense and scare tactics.
City tickets though you're fucked, gotta pay 'em or hope for a freebie.

EasyPark is a City-owned, non-profit company that manages parking lots that are owned and leased by the City of Vancouver.
| Which is kinda vague. The ticket apparently jumped to $63 today, it'll be $83 next week and $108 the week after that which is pretty ridiculous. It's my moms vehicle so I don't want to mess up her insurance renewal but when I look up the violation on their site it lists another unpaid one from 7 years ago. So I guess that answers that question lol.
If it was reasonable like the City tickets are (maybe were, I haven't had one in a while) here I wouldn't mind paying it. But this is just crazy.

many years ago one of my managers got a ticket, paid for parking but selected the wrong car on his app, they cancelled the ticket as it was a simple mistake and he didn't mean to "not pay".
your scenario was that you paid but went a little over, maybe calling them and let them know you paid parking but was a little over and they'll show some grace?

What I love about revscene, is that if someone makes a "got caught speeding, can I dispute the fine?" thread, that person gets shit on by everyone
The moment the same people doing the shitting, don't follow the rules, and fail to pay for parking, they complain and bitch that the fines are ridiculous, and start asking "do I need to pay this?" Please do go on

My receipt showed I bought my ticket just as they printed out their ticket so they were able to write it off.

Please do go on | If you're referring to me, your memory is better than mine lol. They're not really equivalent things though. If a private company gave you a speeding ticket for $2000 (10x the usual rate) for going 1km/h over, would you pay that?

Accurate. I see a ticket from 2008 still on the CoV website waiting for me.

The moment the same people doing the shitting, don't follow the rules, and fail to pay for parking, they complain and bitch that the fines are ridiculous, and start asking "do I need to pay this?" Please do go on | Probably has something to do with the fact that:
A) You don't have the potential to crash and injure/kill someone by failing to pay for parking.
B) Parking companies are scumbags. I've been given parking tickets when I've legitimately paid (obviously whatever system they used was messed up) and then have been given attitude when I've disputed like the problem was somehow MY fault.
Here in Saanich there's a public soccer/baseball park (Layritz park) next to the parking lot for the VI Tech Park building. The parking lot goes free at 5:30pm, but it's usually completely deserted from tech park employees before 5:00. When you see the parking company cruise the lot and ticketing people taking their kids to soccer/baseball practice at 5:15pm, you can't help but think "Fucking scumbag vultures, fuck that company".

I mean if that's the case most traffic cops are scumbags as well. Sure sometimes they'll bag a dangerous driver but usually they are camped out in their favorite spot where they can pick off a bunch of people easily because the speed limit is already ridiculously low.

Where I live the cops catching speeders go out of their way to avoid targeting certain kinds of drivers because of a lot of things at play. The speeding gods have abandoned us.
The state of Texas has a convoluted string of bullshit in order to register and title a vehicle. This has led to the rise of a "paper plate" epidemic where folks will perpetually ride around on temporary license plates which are harder to track and scan.
This goes double when the vehicle is stolen. You just pop off the plate and put on a paper tag and boom, there you go. You're "riding dirty" as we said in olden times, but because there are so many of them it makes it hard to point to a car and say "That one is legit" and "That one isn't". Criminals gonna criminal.
Building on that, because Nissan extends credit to anyone with a pulse, and the repo business isn't super effective, you get folks who "buy" a car with a down payment, drive it off the lot, and keep it without making subsequent payments.
As a result, the "(often silver) Altima with Paper Plates" is the freeway bandit you stay away from here because they know there are very few consequences for their actions. I've seen them pasted over regular tags to fool the tollway cameras. They'll also cut you off, drive recklessly, and shoot at you if they're feeling frisky.
Instead you get soccer moms with legit plates being pulled over for doing "55 in a 54" as we used to say in olden times.
The paper plate thing is big business. You can buy a "new" set on Facebook Marketplace for $20 or $30 (or print your own) and you can have the plausible deniability of not having committed a crime because the liability can be extended to the guy who you met behind a Burger King used their "dealer" registration account to cook them up with information you provided him. A group of guys made over a million cash over the last few years exploiting the system and only had to pay back a fraction of it with admittedly the possibility of real jail time. Not a bad return on investment for the average scumbag if they're willing to take the risk.
Its a system full of holes that make you appreciate being able to walk into a Superstore on a Sunday afternoon and register the new-to-you with a cheap past after buying your groceries for the week.

I was more into the music scene than all of my kids. I crack up my daughter each time I refer to today's music as, "Modern Music." It all started when I was in Oregon with the family. I wanted to listen to some local radio stations. I stopped and asked a person on the street, "Are there any local stations that play modern music?" I couldn't come up with anything else at the spur of the moment. Now it has become an inside joke with the family. "Hey, Dad, let's listen to some 'Modern Music,' lol."
Pop, Indie, Rap, Techno, Jazz, International, you name it................
I do admit, the 70's are still my thing. I can, "Name that tune," within the first two seconds of the track. I grew up with a radio taped to my head, hee hee........... I still can't drive in silence. SiriusXM, where were you 60 years ago?
