  • I feel bad for people who say "I can't" when they mean "I won't".

    Jump

  • Mean there are more poor people so...sort of?

    Yes I know the social equallibriam of it all, but only the people can change it too. Never thought I'd see the US fall so quickly in my lifetime and hopefully people will realize that.

    I'm also Canadian so can't do much else but post about it.

  • Bondi criticised after saying all Epstein files have been released

    Jump

  • A person high up in the current US administration lie? That should be a huge scandal.....wait it's a day that ends in y. Yeah there are many more.

  • OH GOD YES

    Jump

  • I think some people have issues with that time and as much as I try I don't always take that time to exercise. Basically when cooking starts I (half the time) say it's time to so some exercises. They are not expansive but depending on some weights can tire you out. Just something to help, plus it got my lower back to stop complaining, not Always but had much fewer issues for being able to sit) so that was a plus. Basically a few targetted exercises over months (yes it takes awhile in the mid age years) helped make it a minimal issue when it was more prevalent before.

  • Why I gave up electronics club

    Jump

  • Learn a other new thing again appreciated, I don't think I've heard of that one....or did years ago and memory failed hard to tell heh. Always nice to realize new things so thank you.

  • Trump threatens to bypass Congress and order new voting laws ahead of midterms

    Jump

  • Imagine getting as far as Trump has and not understanding anything just buying your way through life. Then even if he breaks all the laws he still doesn't get any legal punishment beyond paying more but he has tons of money. He's literally looting the US Treasury right now.

  • Trump deportation surge left Texas with shortage of home builders. Now Republican wants completely new visa to fix that

    Jump

  • Few stories I've read lately is their ideas are much larger than warehouses, like a 100k person prison, billions of dollars. How this isn't causing total shutdown of the US by general strike is horrifying as a neighbor. I can't imagine how they think they're in a democracy, though I'm sure many of them probably understand that which is even scarier. I bet those ones will be surprised when they're on a list for some reason too, there always needs to be enemies afterall.

  • Trump Falsely Links Trans People to Terrorism. Now, a Target Is on Their Back

    Jump

  • That's cause the conservatives in the US always do that. They make sure to paint a target on people that are marginalized because they feel threatened.

    I used to party lots, partied with cis, straight, gay, trans (possibly others if my vocabulary is lacking). Most of the people in general were awesome. Never was someone thought to be a jerk for their lifestyle. That's the big thing, people comes in all sorts, but preference and lifestyle choice had minimal (well almost none) on what I thought of them. I can't see why others can't accept things if it's not harmful to others.

    Jump

  • So apparently ICE doesn't accept given official id anyways, why is anyone going to want to come on a hope they don't end up in a concentration camp? Yeah I'm not betting on those odds.

  • Awful people are using the Tumbler Ridge shooting for their own hateful political agendas. Don't let them.

    Jump

  • Agreed, but unfortunately people who do that are well known for flooding the zone, then this gets more people on their side, even if they didn't have any good points to make. Just a few feels and some less than cricital thinking will win people over.

    Been awhile since I was in school I do hope they're stil teaching kids how to think on their own these days. Though unsure if I picked that up on my own and has my own opinions to not exclude random people who cause no harm or was actually taught it. Heck if anything it'd have been sesame street abd Mr Rogers teaching me that, those radicals teaching to not be bigoted.

    Mean I also definitely support mental health for all, I know I've had to visit a few times myself and think everyone should have the opportunity if needed.

    Used to live near there for awhile, couple hours away unsure if we ever went there, think my town was smaller, wikipedia tells me it is currently a similar size so guess not by much if at all (like a few hundred people different sort of thing)

  • In Pulp Fiction Vincent made a big deal about a $5 milkshake, which is less than a crappy one from a fast food joint costs today.

    Jump

  • Being Canadian I was so wondering at prices in the states (from tv, movies) during the early 90s. You'd see a greasy spoon diner have breakfast for like $3.50 in them, usually closer to $6-7 up here for the same (noticbly more after exchange rate). The crappy fast food milkshakes were like $4 minimum let alone a theme restraunt with Steve Buscemi as a waiter.

    Though I do often use the inflation calculation when I see a price from the 90s and earlier these days just to make sure I got the right perspective on cost.

  • Two different people

    Jump

  • We have the expression (well in English for those unaware of it) of a stopped clock being right twice a day for a reason. Guess that expression is probably going to the wayside these days though. Even the worst people make an agreeable point now and then afterall.

  • TV remotes should have an easy-to-find (by touch) "volume toggle" button that toggles between two volume settings.

    Jump

  • I've had that thought for decades, like they do (or used to) do a button to switch between the last channel. So you'd go to each channel and flip at a commercial. Then forget to switch back so you saw two half episodes but that's not really an issue with a volume setting.

  • Turning Point USA’s Halftime Show Was Exactly What You’d Expect

    Jump

  • He saw it enough of the main one to complain about it anyways, he seems like the sort to watch something only to have something to say to bitch about it after. What a petulant child that guy is. He didn't like the idea of the original, they made another one for people who live in America but don't like Americans or something (yes I know it's a racist thing), then he watches the regular one to complain. Like seriously this is your great leader?For those that voted with or abstained cause if you didn't vote this is who you asked for, aside from other issues that caused no voting which is an issue in itself in the US. Apparently it's all good cause soon voting will be as important as the score on Who's Line Is It Anyways like in Russia.

  • Rightwing critics blame Mamdani as New York snow fails to melt

    Jump

  • Just those types who find anything to complain about, and well if this is accurate really anything to complain about.

    Like it should be icey and frozen out there it's Feburary. To be fair I'm from Canada but noticed even our area has less cold snaps and snow than it used to. Regardless I'm pretty sure the evil human isn't personally making the local weather system worse. Well unless it's Cobra with the weather dominator (dunno if that's a thing I just watch a lot of Robot Chicken).

  • NSA detected phone call between foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump

    Jump

  • Mean this term is worse but if that was possible it would have happened before the end of the first one I assume, the world watched Trump looking like he was Putin's dog at ... Well whatever conference that was. Assume it was a bad employee review. Now this administration has axed everyone that has so much as a raised eyebrow to their actions and doesn't want to gargle that baby carrot.

    In the end I don't think there's any saving except by the American citizens in some action. Least before it gets much worse on a world stage. Beyond alienating allies and doing his tariff quick attack which seems to be the standard 'attack other countries that include nato when they don't say yes'.

    Kind of like an abuser would do huh....and Trump has only been named 38k times in the released Epstein files from pages that aren't completely blacked out? I'm sure it's just a coincidence....the sound of your tub draining is the same one American democracy is doing as it's sucked into his bank account.

  • I had emergency surgery and as a result it looks like I will be zonked out on oxys for the next week. Never had these, what are some good movies to watch in this condition?

    Jump

  • I won't say it's always my thing but sometimes a plain action movie with few cheesy lines is all you're looking for. Definitely saw enough Chuck Norris in the 80s to confirm that.

    Jump

  • Seems odd they'd both end up in the same crappy movie together in that year. May not be remembering movie years well but Urban was least in Star Trek and Bettany in Marvel even if only as a voice but assume the plan was to make him Vision from the start.

    Was it entertaining at least? It sounds like it could be a fun watch, in theory....like the synopsis of Red Letter Media's Best of the Worst movies probably do.

  • He puts on his hulk hands for handouts.

  • Oddly specific

    Jump

  • That was pretty much my thoughts on reading it. Then I realized, that sort of described the plenty of fish site, unsure if still around, went on a few dates from that (guess that shows my range and age) and had fun. Well more fun than not.
