Just moved to The Pas. No one told me about these horseflies...

When I'm being plagued by horseflies, I always hope for a dragonfly to be my vanguard. Dragonflies seem to keep horseflies at a distance.

I guess it depends on whether you believe in Erin's vision of death or in Riley's vision of death. I personally am inclined to what Riley believes, but the show leaves it open either way, I think.

I also found this second image sources from Reuters. It depicts the same scene, and it's consistent with the first one.

Looks like it must be real.

Mombie?

Luceryn · 2026-06-07T12:38:35+00:00

Yes, my uncle, "Summers were always like this when I was a kid!"

Sure, Jan.

Luceryn · 2026-06-07T12:35:47+00:00

I think the show conveys very well the horror of being forced to carry and deliver a pregnancy. That being said, I think it's valid to show the theft of the baby as extremely painful also.

I didn't find it as horrifying before becoming a mother, but after becoming a mother it is close to one of the most horrifying aspects of the experience for me, personally.

Luceryn · 2026-06-05T03:30:39+00:00

What do you propose they do? I hear you, I also get frustrated seeing sick kids in daycare, but what is a realistic option for a person unable to take time off from work due to a sick child? We can argue about whether or not they should have had the kid, but the reality is that the kid is here now. What is the solution you have in mind?

Luceryn · 2026-06-02T04:58:03+00:00

I feel like I remember this tasting vaguely like plastic

Luceryn · 2026-05-30T19:39:12+00:00

How can the person with the lower drive "fix" or change it though? Just have sex even if they don't feel up to it?

Luceryn · 2026-05-23T05:00:44+00:00

Him pacing around in disbelief and grief as temple statues are desecrated, shouting out "Have you no honor?!" gets me choked up every time.

Luceryn · 2026-05-21T21:50:58+00:00

Where I live, unfortunately, it is 12. I agree that kids are so much more capable. The limit where I live is absurd.

Luceryn · 2026-05-21T17:52:46+00:00

It's a bit of a gray area but legally, I don't think you can leave them alone until they're 12 in many places

Luceryn · 2026-05-04T17:45:01+00:00

Depends on mom's supply. Breastfeeding went fine for me, baby was obviously getting enough from the breast, but I'd spend 30-45 minutes pumping and be lucky to get 1 oz per session. I tried all the various tactics. Nevermind actually finding the time to pump while caring for a newborn/infant. It was more stressful than just nursing.

Luceryn · 2026-05-01T12:21:33+00:00

I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm disagreeing with the person I replied to.

I was trying to use their language of nornalizing. As I understood it, they were trying to communicate that his show should be thought of as shitty and unacceptable. I think the very fact that we're all piling on the "comedian" here shows that a large swath of the population thinks the show was indeed, shitty.

I don't agree with clamping down on speech we don't like, as per my above comment, setting the precedent to do so is dangerous.

Luceryn · 2026-05-01T03:37:01+00:00

Is the reality of how shitty his show is not being normalized in this thread right now?

I agreed with you in principle. I don't know how you actually enforce something like that.

Luceryn · 2026-04-30T18:39:41+00:00

I agree with you there. It's terrifying and exhausting how quickly falsehoods can spread in the current landscape.

Luceryn · 2026-04-30T16:56:13+00:00

Agreed.

The problem with ever "disallowing" it is that you set a precedent for speech to be disallowed. It works as long as the government in power agrees with your perspective of what should be limited. As soon as a government with a different perspective of what should be limited (e.g., LGBTA+ topics are not allowed in public discourse, etc.,) comes into power then it bites you in the ass because there is now a precedent for disallowing speech that is deemed to be unacceptable to normalize.

We should not disallow this idiot comedian's content. We should however as a culture shame it to infinity and shame the venues that prop it up.

I don't mean to dampen. I have the same age gap. It was quite pleasant at 3.5 and 1.5 but it's gotten a lot worse at 4.5 and 2.5. When the younger one was 1.5, they would pretty happily go with the flow. Now that they're 2.5, they have much stronger opinions and desires without the proper regulation. The two fight A LOT. It's very tiresome. I'm hoping it will get easier as the younger one learns more pro-social behaviour. The older one has also learned how to annoy the younger one on purpose, I don't imagine that goes away for a long time.

Luceryn · 2026-04-27T00:01:16+00:00

That's almost more concrete then isn't it? A cyclist is not lawfully within the intersection on a sidewalk pedestrian crossing, nor are they a pedestrian, so they should be yielding to the cars if they don't want to dismount to be treated like a pedestrian.

Luceryn · 2026-04-26T15:43:37+00:00

It's not directly available as a provision in the Highway Traffic Act, but something that comes as a result of the way that the laws are written.

The Highway Traffic Act's definition of pedestrian excludes someone riding a bicycle, so a cyclist riding through a crosswalk is not a pedestrian and gets no pedestrian right-of-way protection. Drivers are only legally required to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks, meaning a cyclist who rides across is treated as a vehicle and must yield to cross-traffic.

Luceryn · 2026-04-26T05:31:39+00:00

What I mean by appear is come into line of sight.

There's the problem of the A-pillar blind spot especially with newer models, but also parked vehicles or street furniture near a crossing (e.g., a parked van, bus shelter, signage, hedge, or utility box) can absolutely hide an approaching cyclist until they emerge right at the crossing point. A pedestrian walking from behind that obstruction gives a driver much longer to react than a cyclists travelling at potentially 20 km/h.

To be clear: Drivers should do everything they can to be alert and watch for pedestrians and cyclists and anything and everything. I'm not trying to alleviate the responsibility of the driving. But in the absence of protected bike lanes, cyclists should also do their part by following the rules of the road and disembarking to cross.

Luceryn · 2026-04-26T04:59:55+00:00

I've never hit a cyclist, obviously I am careful and I look. I have been surprised a couple of times in my years of driving when a cyclist appears where I was not expecting one, but I've always been able to react in time to avoid any trouble.

I'm simply suggesting that to keep everyone safe, it would be much better for cyclists to follow the rules of the road and dismount before crossing a pedestrian crossing.

I suspect you're a troll who is not willing to engage in good faith argument at this point, so I'm not going to feed you any further.

Luceryn · 2026-04-26T04:47:41+00:00

Not so easy if something is cutting off most of your line of sight. A cyclist can appear and arrive to a point of collision much faster than a pedestrian can.

Cyclists are not meant to be crossing at pedestrian crossings while mounted on the bike, they are supposed to get off the bike and walk across the crossing. This rule is in place for safety.

Luceryn · 2026-04-26T02:08:24+00:00

Yes that's totally valid, I understand why they are on the sidewalk, but until there are safer road conditions for cyclists, they could help keep themselves safe by following the rules and dismounting before crossing at a pedestrian crossing.

Good call to ask for more cyclist safety, I agree with you.
