Should have gone 90 over and driven right into a fucking wall.

My wife called me two days ago saying “GUESS WHAT’S FUCKING BEHIND ME!”. She was nearly home, and told me to run to the front window and look down the street toward the intersecting road. She turned onto our street, and moments later that stupid piece of shit went zooming by on the main road. I couldn’t believe it. It was even dumber in person. I was so delighted she helped make that sighting happen, though.

I grew up in America and have lived in Canada for seven years now. I’ve come to recognize that Canadians (except for the staunch conservatives who aren’t pleased with anything) are proud and loyal to Canada because it’s a beautiful country that has (for the most part) taken pretty good care of its people. Americans are proud and loyal mostly because they were brainwashed throughout their lives by pledges, patriotic songs, and tall tales about the founding fathers. I personally found little to be proud of in my thirty years as an American.

Also, one time a pair of planes took down some skyscrapers. Alan Jackson wrote a song about it, and America invaded an unrelated country. That made people really proud too.

It’s definitely beneficial to interact with and include your toddlers as much as you possibly can, even if they aren’t contributing much. It will accelerate their motor skills and help their speech to explode before many of their peers. My wife and I can often tell when children aren’t interacted with by their parents, either through lack of communication or by being raised by a fucking tablet instead. There are exceptions to this of course (like autism), but it’s very sad to see how many children between the ages of 2 and 5 are trailing so far behind the others due to uninvolved and disengaged parents.

My daughter has a lot of kids in her pre-school that are the same age as her, and they have an extemely simple and broken vocabulary. Their parents come to pick them up and don’t engage with them whatsoever. Just quietly stick them in a car and usually hand them a device.

I suppose that’s the unfortunate different between people who wanted kid and people who simply had kids.

Ah, I saw this posted in two seperate places, and the first instance stated they were from Syria. I thought this was the same article.

Should be a one-way ticket back to Syria. I immigrated here from America seven years ago, blend in seamlessly with the populace, and I still wouldn’t fuck with a Canadian in fear of being deported (I’m also not an asshole). It’s an absolute privilege to be here and I love this country. It’s crazy to me that anyone else would have the opportunity to come here and then squander it by beating the shit out of a peaceful lesbian couple who are trying to enjoy their night. How incredibly brazen.

“Looks like it stinks.”

As an added bonus, I can also use my wife’s lower back to rest my poutine. She says it provides a nice warming sensation.

Sick Yog-Sothoth reference.

This was always the silenced PP7 for me.

Hugh Mungous wot?!?!

I love to see the dumb villager archetype alive and well.

“Me fink I knows wot it was, m’lord, and me likes to ‘ave a go at it… Roight… So at first me fought it the chickens got their feathers in the sky, like… Too many chickens peckin’ about and insultatin’ the air like as makes me pillow warm, see… But den we gets to to really finkin’, and I looks to me mate, see… And I says to me mate… It it’s not the chickens up flyin’ about, and it’s not the work a wizards, like… Wot if it’s all the junk like wot they’ve been puttin’ up in the sky, like? Dat’s wot it is, m’lord… The sky treasures.”

Wow. I’ve never seen this before and I really liked it.

I don’t fall asleep listening to anything but my fan, but reading knocks me the fuck out most nights. Sometimes I can’t make it through a paragraph before catching myself with my eyes completely closed.

Honestly, that’s on her for not liking the smell of cumin.

Oh, yeah, you’re right. Malt vinegar is brown.

Yeah, you’re gonna wanna eat some catfood, chug a beer and huff some glue. It’ll make you feel really sick and then put you right out.

Why is that Mexican eating chicken and pasgetti?!

I still like Xonar cards, like the Xonar DG (though it isn’t compatible with my new PC). I always liked their interface more than the competitors, and it puts out excellent volume on my Logitech headset that is otherwise way too quiet for me. Never been a big fan of the simulated 3D environments on any of these cards, though. The only game it ever sounded decent in was No Man’s Sky, but even that still had a distant tinny sound to it.

I think most people just use external amplifiers these days, but I’m still using a third-party sound card.

May be malt vinegar too. My dad used to love that shit on his fries and other deep fried things. Certainly wouldn’t be my choice.

You’re right, though. That bottom piece is nasty.
