I wish I could say Iโ€™m more shocked but alas. Iโ€™m sorry your experience so closely echoes others Iโ€™ve heard.

This is actually super helpful context considering I only know him from his current WWE run and the persona he puts on there and before that only knew him as a name with a bad Pepsi tattoo.

You are such an excellent resource for wrestling info and I appreciate that about you.

I really need someone to give me a CM background pamphlet for context.

I, a notorious anti time change person, am now jealous of British Columbia.

The U.S. Hockey Men Spoil The Fantasy | Defector To be a U.S. Olympian is to represent the best that your country has to offer. That sounds extremely lofty when itโ€™s written out like that, but I think thatโ€™s really how it works, ideally, if youโ€™re t...

Do you hate winter or do you hate the system that expects you to treat every day of the year the same way, ignoring cycles of nature?

Unflinching refusal to use or allow the use of A.I. in reading & writing should be the uncontroversial, default position of teachers from K-12 to colleges & universities. If our administrators tell us we "have to" we tell them to eff off. We will not kill the planet's water for systemic plagiarism.

Jerry doesnโ€™t see the big deal, George sheepishly admits to using it himself but only โ€œin times of direst need, Elaine!โ€ and Kramer has never heard of it but owns shares in an up and coming LLM no one has ever heard of and has been in development for ten years.

Modern Seinfeld episode where Elaine gets the ick because she finds out a man sheโ€™s dating uses ChatGBT to write his emails for him.

Iโ€™ve been told this is a hot take (weirdly) but I donโ€™t think anyone should have nuclear weapons and that we should destroy all of them and erase the knowledge of how to make them from our collective knowledge.

I fuck with anything Charli XCX, and love this accordingly.

I know youโ€™re a fan of WH and was having a conversation earlier about whether H is written as not white or not and realized I was being way too English major about it all. So far all Iโ€™ll say about the new movie, not having seen it, is that the soundtrack slaps.

I joked with my mother that I was giving up all hope, but it didnโ€™t land well givenโ€ฆeverything.

I hate to admit Iโ€™m still half watching it but itโ€™s gotten so predictable I can predict the ending of most every match. Itโ€™s painful.

Get the Libby app. Get a library card. Download books. Whenever you pick up the phone to scroll and kill time, open that app first.

I find thrillers or other fast paced genres best for breaking the habit, but whatever keeps you engaged.

Especially good when you're groggy or emotionally vulnerable.

I know we get Regatta day here in the summer but I would rather have a February long weekend than another holiday in the summer. Take Orangemanโ€™s day or something.

16.02.2026 14:23 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 4    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

We do and I would give it up for a Feb long weekend easy.

The stretch from January first to mid March where thereโ€™s no long weekend is a long one.

Newfoundland and Labrador doesnโ€™t have a February stat holiday, which means Iโ€™m at work seeing most of the rest of the country celebrate a long weekend.
