Sometimes I just feel kinda disappointed by all of it.

I can't defend it.
I just didn't want to be SO stinky when grocery shopping immediately after the gym, and it seemed reasonable at the time.
But the self delusion didn't last long.

Vancouver area folks: does anyone happen to know which (if any) chain might have soft plastic bendy straws? Have a family member visiting who normally travels with one for accessibility reasons but left her silicone straw in Alberta.

Paper straws are great for the environment but not for this 🫣

This post was inspired by me buying a deodorant for my gym bag and then later saying to myself "What exactly do you expect this do to in these situations?"

so the stupid canadian age verification bill is back in parliament so call your local MPs and tell them it’s bad and why it’s bad and don’t be ashamed to pander to them based on if they’re a tory or grit or otherwise - if you frame it in a way that mirrors their ideology, they might remember better

There we go, all better.

I don't even remember writing this.

I made it at 3am or something? Man, I was asleep. I typed this shit out barely coherent, while this guy took 20 hours to craft his.

lore sickos probably

Turns out "Learn about the worst people in history and how we got to this fucked up place" is more interesting than "weak shit talk about Canadian media that slides more and more right as the EIC loses his grip."

Actually, with the number of people I got to listen to Behind The Bastards I think it probably more than evens out.

Feeling pretty bad about the times I recommended CANADALAND to people, but also knowing that no one ever follows up on my recommendations makes it a little easier.

Guy's about to go off the deep end I swear.

I’ll sweeten it a bit, even: PNW game devs, if you have a talk you think would be good for GDC and want to make a video of that talk and put it online instead, I’ll do free audio, video, and lighting for them up to a day of production for the first three people who hit me up

On July 31, a @tps.ca officer opened his door into traffic & struck a person on a bike near King & Shaw. Our client sustained a serious wrist fracture as a result.

The officer has not been charged & an ambulance was not called to the scene 1/2

my message for the AI developers of the world

My problem with moderates is how they see human rights for certain people as something that can be negotiated and not that they are inalienable rights for everyone that are core to the very foundation of a modern functioning society.

They want to believe people deserve what they get or don't have.

Anyone who belongs to any minority group needs to be aware that what is being done to trans people can and will be done to them. In a decade we have been stripped of our rights to exist in public spaces by a press campaign and a well funded lobby.

And yes, there is lore. Secret lore...

Lotta words to prove you’re a scumbag.

in "The Moisture Farm", we'll finally get to see what Luke Skywalker's family was doing in the years between when Anakin left and Luke arrived. thrill at the daily grind to meet Hutt taxes and maintain functional agricultural infrastructure!

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.

"What service is Microsoft providing?"

Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

Joy-Con 2 Piano coming soon

Forgot to share this picture from the walk with my aunt and her dogs last weekend.

If your an artist and need a random number generator to do paint by numbers to give you ideas then well I don’t know what to say but I just assumed artists had heads with ideas and was kinda the flow of things like for tens of thousands of years of making art.

Oh yeah? Then explain why this GIF always does numbers.
