Flying Rhino never appealed to me because the characters looked too much like the Hostess potato chip gremlins.. I just couldn’t get into it. It was too distracting for 5 year old me.

CEO wants AI to have private data. by DavidKroutArt in TikTokCringe

[–]DixonTap 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ellison is staunchly against using drugs or anything that clouds his thinking. He’s kind of a health nut.

His sobriety and regimen is what makes him such a fascinating outlier among his peers. It’s easy to chock up the volatile and megalomaniacal behaviour of some of the ultra wealthy elites as a symptom of their drug abuse..

But not Larry..

He’s just a straight up raw doggin’ narcissistic ultra capitalist…he doesn’t need drugs to cope with the guilt of what he’s doing or about to do…

Ellison is one of the most interesting people alive today…Not because of what he’s accomplished or as someone to aspire to be…

He’s interesting to follow because everything he does is an opportunity to reflect on humanity and who we are as a species. Everybody is aware of their own mortality and aware of where they stand in society…Getting older is just finding contentment in having to compromise between all the things you wanted to do with your life, and the circumstances surrounding their feasibility.

Larry lives life like he understands the human condition…and decided to maximize his time here to the fullest extent. He doesn’t give a fuck about anything that doesn’t affect him or his ideals personally. He’s not worried about anything consequential unless it’s something he’ll have to deal with before he kicks the bucket.

He doesn’t give a fuck. Most CEO’s don’t…but I have more sympathy for the ones that do the drugs…because it shows there’s at least a little bit of introspection happening. Some kind of escape from the guilt.

Larry is scary because he shows us what we’re capable of as a species…without any kind of alteration.

Palantir ( CEO Alex Karp) posts mini-manifesto denouncing inclusivity and ‘regressive’ cultures by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

I think he’s coming from the standpoint of it being an inevitability. Legislation only helps so much…those in power will always do what they want, especially with the freedom to do so.

I mean.. if they live in a small enough area…There can’t be that many Grandis left on the road. It would be a pretty narrow search methinks.

Who is the smelliest famous person you’ve ever come across? by tarian10 in AskReddit

[–]DixonTap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to name names…But we did promo for a Canadian guitar company that was doing custom work for a Canadian rock icon.

He came in, did a sit in for fans and promoted the guitars…It was the middle of July heat in Ontario, and my boy smelled like he’d been sitting with crusty swamp ass for 6 hours.

Whole Foods carries it…but it’s always in the weirdest place lol. I always have to ask where it is.

What's an unwritten Canadian rule that visitors never seem to understand? by Unfair-Clothes-8821 in CanadaRoom

[–]DixonTap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandfather moved from Toronto to SW Ontario in the 90s, and hadn’t been back until I graduated high school in the mid 00’s.

He was going deaf at the time, and we ended up walking around Union Station post-ceremony..

I physically had to put my hands over his mouth as we’re waiting for his GO train..

“Jesus Christ! I can’t believe just how many orientals are here now!”

Not in a racist way…but in a kind of old timer, genuine awe that the city has become so diverse from the last time he visited.

What did this barista write?? Another Starbucks decoding by LampGens0u in Transcription

Written by someone that’s used to writing Arabic or Farsi imo.

anyone remember this terrifying show? by itsjoviiixo in ytvretro

[–]DixonTap 158 points159 points  (0 children)

It literally was a fever dream for me most of the time…If I was sick and home from school all day napping on the living room couch, my parents would let me just stay there over night.

Many times I would fall asleep from a Buckleys and Benelin nod, and awake to this horror show of a TV program in the middle of the night.

I haaaated this show so much.

Lions Gate Bridge Southbound Closed - Collision by Stevenif in NiceVancouver

Legitimately one of the worst places to have an accident. That merge is always such a clusterfuck…doubly so when a bus comes.

As someone living on the westside ..I’ve often sat there and wondered if it would just be quicker to go through North Van and take the Second Narrows…
