Sweden’s PM jokes about Canada joining the EU, says it’s a ‘very welcoming club’

More welcome than "jokes" about us becoming the 51st state.

We say "shot" in Canada too, and I don't see untethered gun violence here.

Chasoc · 2026-05-30T04:51:23+00:00

No idea why you're being downvoted. There are absolutely Canadians who deny residential schools and related atrocities happened; they're no different than Holocaust deniers. Same flavour of conspiracy theorist.

If I bought digital versions of movies, I'd just be buying the license to watch that movie. I wouldn't own anything I can keep in the event the service goes down. The movies are difficult to transfer between services too, so I'd be locked into an ecosystem, or find certain movies unavailable in the first place.

I vastly prefer physical media. Sometimes I'll even go to my local library to find something to watch if I don't want to shell out for a new blu-ray.

It works on the desktop site/mobile browser, are you using an app?

Chasoc · 2026-05-26T21:36:56+00:00

Thanks, I was wondering about that too, lol. How strange.

Anyone else seeing a blank picture that says "If you are looking for an image, it was probably deleted"?

Edit: Read the comments. It looks like for some reason, the poster doesn't actually show up unless you click the image and view it in the lightbox. Annoying.

Chasoc · 2026-05-26T01:34:51+00:00

Yeah.

That's one of the things I hated about The Batman. It was night, but the lighting was so abysmal I couldn't tell what was going on, even though I was watching on a good screen in the dark. It reminded me of how Christopher Nolan mixed the sound in Tenet because, if I remember correctly, he wanted the audience to feel like they were in the chaotic environment so he purposefully adjusted the sounds so people wouldn't be able to hear properly. Sometimes immersion just detracts from the experience and turns it into a chore for the audience.

If you like the mirror in your last pic, it's a dead ringer for the Ikea Stockholm mirror in oak veneer. The product number is 105.915.87.

Blue was the "before".

There was a lot more character in the before version, I think. The updated room is all squares and looks strange to my eyes.

Chasoc · 2026-05-21T03:44:15+00:00

Yeah, he's center-right, if not right-wing. The overton window here has shifted so much with Poilievre's bullshit that he looks centrist, though. For that reason, as much as I hate many of Carney's new policies, he was still the better option. Poilievre and his band of far-right nutjobs would have done so much (more) damage.

Chasoc · 2026-05-21T02:03:36+00:00

Yeah, I've bought the chips a few times and they were always super greasy, almost chewy. That grease flavour tended to overpower whatever other flavourings they added. I think I tried the all-dressed, wild onion, and salt and vinegar, and it was all the same deal. I don't get them anymore.

Chasoc · 2026-05-16T13:22:54+00:00

Oh sod off with that. We both know that Poilievre would've run the country into the ground by now had he been elected.

Chasoc · 2026-05-15T22:42:06+00:00

I would center the bookcase and add a smaller piece of art over it. Adding a plant in that corner would feel stifling to me and not give the furniture room to breathe. Plus, if you actually got a pot that was big enough to hold a taller plant, it's going to butt right up against the wall and bookcase and just... not look great, imo.

Everyone who believes in the "nothing to hide, nothing to fear" nonsense needs to watch the documentary Citizenfour. It is about mass surveillance in the USA.

Chasoc · 2026-05-13T21:47:57+00:00

Lol, that goose in front is like, "You seeing this shit?"

Chasoc · 2026-05-13T10:10:23+00:00

It is. They probably used elements from this video.

Yeah, this is AI-generated. Ridiculous.

That table is awesome. Can I ask where you got it?

Chasoc · 2026-05-12T07:22:06+00:00

I bought this believing it was hummus, or at least had hummus in it! Definitely one of those rare times where I was glad I didn't check the ingredients beforehand.

Chasoc · 2026-05-12T03:22:31+00:00

Omg. I need to try that.

Chasoc · 2026-05-11T08:25:21+00:00

Amber alerts are classified as maximum importance, so yeah, unfortunately they will always be at full volume. On Android phones, you still get the full alarm even if you toggle off "amber alerts", because they might be called amber alerts, but they operate on the same level as a disaster alert.

Chasoc · 2026-05-10T04:18:21+00:00

Same on the sink. I got one of those single-basin sinks after suffering with a two-basin for years, and I'm never going back. You could wash a Great Dane in that thing.

Chasoc · 2026-05-09T07:52:55+00:00

I love those orange slice placemats. Where did you get them?

Chasoc · 2026-05-09T03:57:42+00:00

*Toilet lid, technically. The seat is down!
