This brave lil goof is giving me another chance
(media.piefed.ca)
Had surgery a few days ago and last night woke up choking on some blood (expected, don't worry) but in my wake up choking panic I spat it and phlegm and ugh all over this beautiful lady who'd been sleeping next to me. I then washed her off which I think she hated most of all.
But, she is a forgiving lady and eventually came back to cuddle later on this afternoon.
I will do my best to keep my blood inside and off of her tonight.

My boss treats us like slaves!

No, the point isn't that we shouldn't complain, just it is good to keep perspective. (And a man can dream that if we kept that perspective, more of us would try to buy non sweatshop crap.)
Some lyrics (and why I love folk punk, even if this particular artist turned out to be, like so many, a jerk):
Always think about the things you buy and where they're from and how they're made
Always try to keep in mind that your privilege comes on the backs of slaves

If you read international news, it's hard to read some of our complaints without wanting to scream
(media.piefed.ca)
Every time I read a complaint about having to do the dishes or working a dumb job, I like to imagine the complainer making their case to the kids who work 16 hour days to make their clothes.

What did the five allies say to the face?

What am I gonna do, start a war in the Middle East? Come on, I got more sense than that...
Yeah, I remember starting a war in the Middle East. Fuck yo Middle East!
(For those too young to remember the skit, google Dave Chappelle Rick James and enjoy!)

Shields are down, Middle East decks reporting casualties and...

Reading the news feels like an endurance sport these days.
It's free and using it means I don't have to support American tech companies.

I mean, it works so...

Want to avoid uncomfortable questions about your pedo bestie? Or a trial about bribery and fraud? Try this one easy trick! Thousands might die but your grip on power is assured for another few weeks!
I get it but damn, a good friend who lives on the other side of the country phoned a few months ago and we just shot the shit for an hour. It was as surprising as it was amazing.
Absolutely important to keep boycotting, even if things go back to "normal" if only to show that this stupidity has real world costs.
The anti corpo part of me: That's utter bullshit!
The middle aged part of me: That's... 3 hours a day... That much gaming can't be healthy.
Don't give her ideas!
I love the texts that are clearly just anon's personal fantasy.
It's a major plot point. Brawndo, the Thirst Mutilator, has been put into almost everything in place of water ("water, like from the toiler?") And consequently kills the crops.
I don't love everything in there but overall, seems a pretty fair mix of "dealing with the American shitstorm", helping the economy and hopefully getting us on a greener path. Yes, there are parts I'd like more of and otherd of which I'd like less but in terms of a broad compromise that I think is reasonable to a large swathe of Canadians, I'm a pretty big fan.
I think you're going to get yelled at and I apologize in advance.
It's a fair question, there's a lot of reckless claims made these days.
That being said, depending on how bad things get, yeah. Some incredibly populous places will be directly and heavily affected (1.21 billion currently in sub Saharan Africa alone.) Add in the conflicts over diminishing resources (think crop failures, droughts etc) as well as knock on effects (eg, increased range/spread of malaria.)
Heck, climate change has barely gotten started and I'd bet we're into millions dead already (compared to a non warning world) consider how many thousands have been lost to extreme events like floods, fires and heat waves.
I got one a few months ago that is my abslolute favourite, not sure if it counts. Important context, I'm 40 but still play soccer with folks as young as 20. So, one game I'm defending against a young fast kid and beat him to the ball (barely!) a few times in a row on long ball chases. After the third or fourth time he looks over after the race and says "You're really fast for an... uhhh uh uh, you're really fast!"
He meant so well and it was adorable watching him realize mid sentence that I probably didn't want to be called an old man.

There's a universe in which a Conservative leader with an ounce of charisma was in charge 2 years ago and is now cosying up to trump.
Thank heavens Poilievre sucks so much.
