Canadian, he/him, I can take anything you can dish out, but coming for my friends is a great way to learn why I have a full set of hockey equipment in my trunk at all times. Mid 30s.

You dig giant robots! I dig giant robots! We dig giant robots! Chicks dig giant robots! Nice!

And if we're really in the shit, I know a good Sweeper who will put history back on it's proper course.

Or the time before that. Benedict Arnold (yes, *that* Benedict Arnold) got laughed out of Quebec after six months of his army shitting itself to death. All he did was ineffectively lay siege to Quebec City.

The last time I saw this country so universally, incandescently angry was when the rumours went around that the US women's hockey team had put the Canadian flag on their dressing room floor before the gold metal game and were walking on it at the Salt Lake City Olympics.

And I'm not talking about some piddly little Ryder truck that bumped a moose, I'm talking about a fully loaded fifty-three foot trailer that hit the moose at highway speed. THE TRUCK BOUNCED OFF THE MOOSE.
comment in response to post
I have seen similar accidents where the moose *walks away* from the crash, and truck and trailer are obvious write-offs at the scene.

@rahaeli.bsky.social may have practical tips on this.

As a Canadian, sandals are completely appropriate walking around outside shoes in 10F weather.

This is just the plot of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann tho.

Ichiro deserves Cooperstown, but have you considered whether Cooperstown deserves Ichiro?

Oh no, not the literal language police!

The last time an American invaded Quebec the populace laughed at Benedict Arnold and ignored him for three weeks until he got fed up and went home. Attitudes have not changed much in Quebec in 250 years.

I'm in this photo and I don't like it.

The Screwdriver McStuffingsons are a very old, established family.

Yeah, but it occasionally produces absolute bangers. Here's The Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLachlan visting CHUM's Speaker's Corner in Toronto in the early 90's. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQD5...

You want to sneak a "I was in fear for my life" in there, it'll really help the self-defense plea.

9. There are no real rules about Moderation either -- Enjoy your ban.

Besides, these are the kinds of promises Trump likes: The ones you don't have to keep. If he's confirmed, what can Congress do to remove him, impeach? Well, that would be an attack on Dear Leader, and that would not go over well.

Either that or he's going to attempt to implement some very narrow carve-out that he will qualify for.

Thomas is convinced he can kill it without affecting his marriage, somehow.

And that doesn't even mention the tea cults.

People only read when it's advantageous for them to do so.
comment in response to post
They're borrowing the wrong ones. They missed the "run all plans by a 5 year old to poke holes in before implementing" one. Even a 5 year old can grasp why scraping and other behaviours are creepy AF.

His depo was bad, but his lawyers handing an unredacted dump of his phone to the plaintiffs' lawyers and then not even attempting to walk it back was probably the nail in the coffin for him.

As @gregdoucette.bsky.social says (transit) cops are great.

Neither should you. Be better. Find other solutions than war for your differences. This poem is a threnody, a type of lament, written after McCrae could not save a friend who died at Ypres in 1915, and was not published until after McCrae himself had died of pneumonia before the end of the war.

But I think the more important bit is that torch. A torch is a light in the darkness. It's being passed to you, and you're being instructed to keep it, use it, hold it high. To me, that is instruction to be *better* than those who fight, and make their wishes yours. They didn't want to be there. 3/x
comment in response to post
Take up our quarrel with the foe, to you from failing hands we throw, the torch. Be yours to hold it high, if ye break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders' fields. Yes, you could read it as being implored to continue to fight... 2/x
comment in response to post
I disagree. It depends on what you thought the soldiers were fighting for, and you have to consider that it was written by a battlefield surgeon. 1/x

The best part of that story is that immediately after setting Vicious on fire verbally, Mercury picked him up by the collar, and rucked him out the studio, casual as hell.

Grosvenor (grove-ner). Also, despite everything one half of our telecom duopoly attempts, the baseball stadium downtown will always be Sky Dome.

Whatever it was exposed to would certainly vanish, yes.

It's fine, you're on a Cyberpunk bent and they vanished in a puff of CHOOH2

And Poilievre (Leader of the Conservative party) is arguably more insane than the average Trumpist. He seems to literally believe that electricians harness "lightning from God" in their work, among other things.

In my experience, you're safety guy because you're bad at everything else.

Anders would absolutely be the safety guy on the site.

Can't be the real Ireland, where are the pair of priests that clearly don't want to be there with signs that say "Careful now" and "Down with this sort of thing"?
comment in response to post
Yeah, that's by design. The grocery store usually owns the entire plaza it's in. Or, at least, if it's a Loblaws/related brand it does. Or rather, Loblaws' parent company owns the land and buildings.

It is! Congratulations on getting your citizenship as well.

Belated congratulations on your nuptials.
