Um, actually the game being described is called Wizard Sticks and after you make your stick, you then have to best your opponent with it

That's part of it, for sure. But also the riding is traditionally a resource-extraction economy. People worship the mills and lots of folks haven't spent much time outside their small-town echo chambers. It is a remarkably conservative place

Why do I feel a deep calling to send our MP a card every single day reminding him of the unceded territory he occupies?

Ours were definitely a little too related by the end, I am sure that accounted for the worst of it πŸ˜†

The world is a nightmare but animals are amazing. I taught my cat how to recognize the sign for eat in ASL and the dog has learned the word for egg in three languages

Honestly their capacity for learning languages is only limited by my own

That was my experience with americaunas. They are cute and occasionally make green eggs that everyone loves and also they will never stop screaming and being bad. Never ever again, omg πŸ˜†

In regarded to finding a reliable layer with dark feathers, I have had great success with austrolorps. All my gals are black feathered, good tempered, and really great layers!

I've been rewatching the first season of Last Week Tonight and the news then is EXACTLY the same as the news now: drone strikes in the Middle East, immigrant kids in detention camps, broken ceasefires in Gaza, everyone pinning their hopes on the mid-term elections, media consolidation, etc etc etc

Okay, I took a break to make a sampler of letters. Pick your fav! Or don't. It's a free country (for now)

For me, the best part about not working at the Georgia Straight is no more commenters threatening to rape and kill me daily for the crime being an outspoken woman

It was never the rules-based international order that wouldn't allow us to kidnap leaders, invade other countries, or bomb the everloving god out of poor countries

It was that we agreed not to, because it led to very bad outcomes. And we created the rules to reflect this

The rules are not your mum

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

The worst part of my most recent doctor's visit was being handed forms to sign that would allow AI use re: my medical records, which I absolutely refused. But then I had both the receptionist & doctor try to justify how they were using AI & it was all "safe"

Yeah, no.

The forms went unsigned

Nope, apparently by "nap", I meant four-hour complete crash

They stole my blood and now I need I nap

*And by "they", I mean the nurse at the hospital and by "stole", I mean I willingly allowed her to take it for testing and by "nap", I mean nap

Ugh, I feel even worse about this decision this morning and the NDP will absolutely never get my vote again. What an absolute dogshit decision

Also my grandfather died but somehow the Daylight Savings thing felt much more pressing to mention

The elimination of Daylight Savings Time by permanently pushing time forward is such a mistake & I'll be laughing at everyone in December when it doesn't get light until 9 a.m. while I'll be out here in the woods on Standard Time forever

So, just for my own edification, the precident to take out a country's leader *has* been set, yeah?

Lately I have only been watching every episode of The Big Fat Quiz of the Year in order and I have so many opinions

Like, who tf is David Walliams and why is he like that? See also James Corden; fuck the UK for exporting him. What an annoying little man

The reason Mamdani gets whatever he wants from Trump is simply that it is really easy to flatter and manipulate old men

Some of you were not raised by a father from the Silent Generation and it shows

Every time I read a story about Kash Patel, the thought that goes through my mind is "J. Edgar Hoover would never"

Which is falseβ€”Hoover absolutely would be doing everything Patel is doing and more

If I had access to a tax-payer funded fuck jet, I would too
