    I always heard it referred to as “ding dong ditch” in the 90s. But I’m Canadian and my only exposure to American terminology was sanitized thru TV broadcasting rules. Was there some kind of racist/sexist/homophobic term floating around or something?







  • You annoy easy I guess, lol. Hang on, let me brush all these egg shells offa my shoes.

    I didn’t think you’d get so riled up over a bit of razzing. My bad. You have to understand though, I thought your comment was kinda silly. Like, were over here talking about food crimes and living life on the edge, and you swing in to gas up regular old nachos and pizza. It felt so out of left field to me because nobody was saying those were worse options or anything. I simply had to respond with a little buffoonery.

    Thin crust pizzas are a bit contentious round these parts for whatever reason, but I enjoy them on occasion. Using a tortilla instead of a premade thin crust is just a quick hack for making them at home. I often have tortillas in excess, but I’d have to go out specifically for a thin crust. Using a second tortilla just bumps it up into stuffed crust territory.

    Personally, I don’t care for nachos. Like, they’re fine I guess, but I’m not seeking them out. I love pizza though. All kinds too. Deep dish, Brooklyn style, wood fired, and so on. Perhaps we can find some common ground? What’s your fave type/toppings?







  • The scuttlebutt is that the LMNOP section is hard for kids to learn, especially ESL kids. Slowing down that section helps them distinguish between each letter. Personally I was taught each letter individually alongside the song. Even as a hearing impaired individual I never really had an issue with that part. I am not a child educator though, so maybe there’s more research backing this up than one 30 year old anecdote.

    Here is patient zero according to some light googling. That song came out 16 years ago, looong before we knew how goofy AI sounded.







  • Not really though. Your name doesn’t get posted publicly if you get a speeding ticket. I think there should be a higher level of transparency with government officials, but listing every offence no matter how minor seems petty and wasteful. I think the 70 in a 40 person should deffo be named and shamed though, because that’s kinda nuts.

    For clarity: I don’t condone speeding, and I think the reason for not revealing the names is pretty weak. I’m just saying that this is not a “rules for thee, not for me” situation.

    Edit: Lol, I got some downvotes but no discussion. Too bad.
