Burn it with fire

Nah. 1/3 of your country has talked about annexing our nation, 1/3 was too lazy to get off their asses and stop facism, and 1/3 has mused about how beneficial it would be to their side of Canadians were voting in their elections

Everything Minnesota can offer is done better in Canada anyway

Ok, 8 days out from my wedding and the hair is still red 😂. Multiple stylists have tried, but apparently red is the worst colour to get out.

In hindsight, it was abso-fucking-lutely the right call to shave my head and bleach and dye a red Mohawk for the playoffs mere weeks before my wedding.

Actually, scratch "again"

Some intelligent race will populate this planet again one day in millions of years and discover that server farms consuming vast amounts of carbon-based electricity to create crap like this helped to end countless species.

The "industry" is insane. We've had multiple decisions where we had to give our heads a shake and say "is this seriously worth it?"

So much of it is making sure the tiniest tiniest thing no one worth a damn gives a shit about is perfect.

20 bridesmaids is nuts. Being asked to be one loses a lot of lustre when half the wedding is in the wedding party.

We are getting married in 2 weeks and completely skipped the bridal party so that we aren't putting out our friends time and money wise. Been a best man 3 times and it's a lot of work!

Impossible, didn't you hear? There was a bouncy castle there!

If only someone would drop one in Ukraine, it would end the war immediately.

The media did a TERRIBLE job covering what was happening outside of Wellington. Our OTT suburb friends couldnt believe the videos we were showing them, and they live in the city and were following it.

To be fair, I spoke to two journalists during it who said it wasn't safe for them to go elsewhere

Live in the red zone. We had multiple friends leave the area to stay with family and friends as they felt unsafe. Hell, the police left the area because it wasn't safe for them.

"had to"

Unfortunately is not exclusively in Alberta. Ontario has far more cases.

Officially sure. But just like with covid, the US is taking a "if I plug my ears and close my eyes then no one has it" approach

Oh one side definitely politicized vaccines, but I don't think it was the Liberals or NDP.

Nashville....?

That certainly used to be true. Having gone to grocery stores in the US a few times in 2024, groceries are way more expensive there now. Even without converting the money.

This isn't about distinguishing ourselves though, it's about our closest friends threatening to end us. And even the "good ones" musing about how it would actually be good for the Dems

The government of Canada hired this guy to shout "We are Canadian" at its Canada Day show that's broadcast coast to coast to coast in Ottawa 2 weeks ago.

Only a handful of players on this roster that we'd be worse off with if they left for Karlsson, and it wouldn't take any of them to get him.

Yes. He instantly makes the team much better

They are colloquially called cats. The point is, you actually have an argument with tigers because they technically aren't cats. Moose literally are deer. Yet you aren't upset about a tiger being called a cat.

Big is an issue? Ok. Here you go. Start writing those letters!

I have no issue with saying it's a moose. It is. Saying it's not a deer is incorrect though

But I look forward to your letter complaining to National Geographic telling them how obtuse they are

And I mean technically, that's a pretty bad example considering tigers are only colloquially known as cats. They aren't part of a family of animals called cat, moose are part of a family of animals called deer.

Would you say someone would be correct replying "uh, that's not a cat"?

You've already said that you didn't know that in English it is in fact a deer, so I'm confused why you continue to argue. If you didn't know you didn't know.

Says the person saying it's not a deer

Yep. They all are. Welcome to the point.

Also, I have no idea why anybody in the Americas, Africa, or Asia would think of a European fallow deer when you say the word deer.

Kind of like I said quite early on, that greatly depends on where you are.

But MY language is imprecise.

Uh, that's not a deer.
