Modern day security at the mall during the photo shoot...."sir, what are you reaching for?! Is it a weap..? Shit! On the floor he's got a g g g gon! I'm clear to fire! Taking the target out! Bang hang! Hold on guys! Its f... bang! It was a comb! He needed his comb! C'mon! GDR out of my office! Who let you in anyway?".... Something like that. Now a days I have to act very carefully to make sure I'm not looking too sus or other ways that could easily attract lead.

That Cav-Pacers game was incredible. My opinion of Tyrese Haliburton has grown considerably over these two games.

Is "YouTube poop" art?

Is ASMR art?

Are geocities webpages art?

Is computer code art? Is GitHub an art gallery?

Talked with my mom about housing. She's coming around that the private market can't deliver, we talked about how there's already incentives in Canada up to $1 million for building housing (think like a 3 story walk up, would more or less cover it) but 25% of built units need to be at or below market rate. We talked about how CMHC has mostly faffed about with mortgage rates or down payment percentages or amortization periods for 30+ years and have been totally unable to deal with housing. We even talked a little about how the skilled labour "shortage" just ain't a thing - there was a time I was looking for an apprenticeship and no one would hire me, no one wanted a first year apprentice (they were happy with a 3rd or journeyman), one time I walked in to a boiler maker union apprenticeship with 100 people and not one of us made it to apprenticeship. They have grants for training AND wage subsidies (something ridiculous like covering 2/3rds of wage) but employers still don't want to train cause people can leave or they risk hiring someone who doesn't work out for one reason or another (doesn't have the head for it, wrong temperament, etc).

I feel like finally we can agree that the private market just can't deliver on at least ONE thing. It does make profits! But doesn't service needs.

Absurd contrived scenario for Fallout New Vegas: First, side with Caesar's Legion, save Caesar from the brain tumor. Immediately afterwards, switch to Yes Man then Speech 100 Lanius to get him to retreat. Force the really awkward meeting between Lanius and Caesar.

Gonna write an epic power metal song called "Goonbringer"

The rehearsal season 2 is still amazing.

why am i watching thirty minutes youtube videos breaking down Dragon Ball fights punch by punch like they were real mma matches this is peak slop but i can't stop myself

Bit of a breakthrough in mental health.

"Be yourself" surprisingly takes a lot of hard work, especially to get good at something and to stick with it. I've treated skills and personality traits the way they show up in MLP: FiM, where you get your cutie mark and you intuitively know what your likes and dislikes are just like that. For example, I worked my ass off to bench 225 and while I still have a long way to go in the fitness department, I most certainly did not start off with that weight and dragged my ass kicking and screaming to the gym because I simply was driven by the reward of having larger muscles. Someone recommended guitar to me on this site, and I've wanted to do something creative so that's more or less the same thing, and if I ever want to continue my education it's also the same way, it's a process to slog through things to make myself really get into something. So in a sense, I can pick and choose some of my personality traits and skills and passions to some extent, rather than the universe choosing them for me.

Taco Tuesday!

I'm gonna eat some tacos and it's Tuesday. I'm not particularly observant of the holiday

I met a dem mayor today and he was as you’d expect for someone who was once Global Brand Attorney for Olay

Management seems to be betting a lot on the economy never improving. Were two resignations away from the entire department collapsing, everyone hates working here, and they’re doing nothing to address it.

Can I have a short history of the India-Pakistan conflict, specifically how I can blame the British for it?

dropped into a tyler1 SF6 stream to see if he was as horribly embarrassing as he was like 7 years ago or whenever the last time I looked was

within the span of one minute I watched him loudly shriek misogynist slurs while complaining about "these fucking females (characters)" and how he shouldn't rematch female characters

bad - awful, even - but worse was seeing 6k+ people watching this tired shtick

slowly going from the "I hate people but want them to be happy" mindset to just "I hate people"

I've lost 10lbs this year

Different time

Anyone have that meme where it’s the Onion bit about sitting back and waiting for the US to collapse but it’s Xi Jinping instead of the Al Qaeda?

People be like if you had a billion dollars you couldn't even spend it all in your life time, I'd be different I buy up all the cyrptocoins and just hold on to them indefinitely

I loathe OxygenOS.

"I want to keep the screen on."

"LOL NOPE"

"I want to keep my music app active and displayed when I'm driving."

"LOL EAT SHIT"

"Look you stupid phone, you're plugged in while it's going on, it's not really draining the battery."

"LOL FUCK OFF"

"Fine, I'll install one of those keep-awake apps."

"FUCK YOU, I'LL MAKE SURE IT WON'T WORK. JUST FOR LULZ. SCHMUCK."

Never buying another fucking Oneplus phone, that's for certain.

Today I finally saw John Mulaney’s face in a standup special after years of hearing his name but never seeing what he looked like.

i self-sabotaged an opportunity to get a job and i feel like shit about it
