Shit just works - forever and always.

(shh, it just works and shit just works are both valid - the intent was the former IIRC - but the latter is obviously the superior choice. I’m also partial to sh.it.heads when referring to users [cheeky, but thought about in the same way as Deadheads for Grateful Dead fans])

Specifically relevant for cis-hetero people, idea broadly applicable to all people:

Sounds like a fun Sunday.

So far, I have not seen anyone other than you express this position in any discussion of this document. You have not demonstrated that there are others who agree with you.

Based on this I am satisfied with my position.

No.

Some cats can open doors, the others will just keep reaching underneath them and flicking the doorstop spring until someone opens it.

AROOOOOO!! WELCOME TO THE MF’IN PACK!!!

I SEE YOU BROTHER AND I CRANKED THIS OUT FOR ALL OUR GIRL BROTHERS!

I SUCK AT PHOTO EDITING BUT IT’S ABOUT THAT 💯 EFFORT! AROOOOOOOO!!

So far, it’s mostly been these points:

1. Murder is wrong. Thompson should not have been murdered.
2. Nevertheless, this was bound to happen eventually, and [people I’ve talked to about it are] not upset that Thompson is dead.

A lot of people are having trouble verifying it. I’m personally considering it fake until proven otherwise.

Would be super interested if anyone has a bead on the first share, 'cause it’s everywhere now.

The biggest career mistake I’ve ever made is opening an Excel macro and changing two characters to make it count a thing again.

I was then permanently labelled Cracks the Technomancer, master of all things technology. It fucking sucks.

I will leave it at people can, if they have the means and want to. You’re never obligated, even if someone is using aggressive panhandling tactics.

I play pinball, so I’m one of the disappearing folks that often has a little bit of pocket change left over. If I see someone panhandling and I am feeling generous, I’ll share some. If I don’t have any, am still feeling generous, and they’re outside of somewhere serving food, I’ll ask if they want something. Usually people say yes, sometimes they say no. Never buy something with the specific intent to give it to a panhandler without asking them first - it’s rude to presume. If you legit have something extra that you didn’t expect that is fair game to offer - in those circumstances I always add “If you don’t want it, that’s cool” to make it clear I’m not forcing it on them/I won’t think they’re rude for not taking it.

If I’m not feeling generous, I don’t give anything.

Whatever anyone does with anything I gift them is their business. It’s fucking rough out there.

Real talk - as a balding dude, there was a time when I was part of a bonus structure program, and I half-jokingly started looking at hair systems. Not because I’m balding and ashamed of it, whatever, but I missed being able to style my hair in a way that looked good. That, and I loved the idea of showing up to work with a whole head of hair, refusing to acknowledge it aside from saying I got a haircut. 'Cause that shit would’ve been hilarious.

Ultimately decided against it, too much $ for vanity and a joke versus sensible balding guy haircuts/the occasional clear cut.

Man, has Dave Foley done anything really clearly, publically untoward (aside from the child support stuff, which as described in Wikipedia at least makes some sense. It’s been settled since)?

He is one of my Canadian comedy idols - to the point that if I ever saw him in public, I would actively avoid him to not risk destroying that if he is, in actuality, a piece of shit.

I’d argue that if it’s conceived of as a journey with a set end point - “I’m going to walk from Vancouver to Toronto”, by way of example - you could consider it a single walk. If you’re just walking everyday without a set end point in mind, I’d agree with you.

Maybe ‘journey by foot’ is the better phrase here, idk.

Reading through the comments here, I would say a gift certificate or membership to some activity they’ve expressed interest in. Ideally, something physical, that either involves working/playing/whatever with other people, or which has a social element to it.

My biased selection would be rock climbing if this is of some interest and you have a climbing gym that isn’t a giant pain to access (which you might not). Solo sport, but a) you need a belayer - that was my Dad when I was doing it, and b) the gym rats I’ve come across are often very friendly, open people.

Can be as challenging as you make it, gets you talking with IRL people, opportunity for what sounds like really necessary quality time going up there, if he gets into bouldering or makes a gym buddy and can get there himself he can eventually do it independently, etc.

Might make sense for them, might not - only you would know, really.

Sons of Odin is also an anti-immigration organization, though in trying to get more details I’m having some difficulty differentiating between Soldiers of Odin in the reporting (and there’s a claim they aren’t related). Anyone have some better sources? I didn’t follow this side of things too closely. Lowest hanging fruit was this: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/sons-of-odin-hamilton-1.4152874

Enough wiggle room where it would not be considered a credible threat. There’s a compilation video of statements he made on livestreams but I don’t want to link to Twitter, and can’t find it elsewhere quickly. It’s discussed in the following article re: the Emergencies Act inquiry, among others - https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/emergencies-act-inquiry-hears-from-protester-pat-king-freedom-convoy-lawyer-1.6135959
