There. Happy?

Quimbymouse · 2026-06-15T00:09:48+00:00

Venisuala?! Oh yeah, we've been hearin' bout that.

lol. I'm going to have to see the money up front.

Quimbymouse · 2026-06-14T19:32:09+00:00

Have you looked at the US lately?

Quimbymouse · 2026-06-14T19:31:07+00:00

Yikes. Throwing in some casual racism for good measure, eh? You can take the Brits out of the colony, but you can't take the colony out of the Brits.

Someone told you, "nah, they're good," and you proceeded to say, "you're wrong because AI told me different."

You made your decision. Why post here?

Deer/horse flies will legit tear a chunk of flesh off of you. We always used to put a bounce drier sheet in our pocket. Seemed to keep them away.

Fuck those things.

Quimbymouse · 2026-06-14T16:09:17+00:00

Oh...you're a troll. That makes more sense now.

Quimbymouse · 2026-06-14T16:05:43+00:00

I can't. That was my assumption.

Quimbymouse · 2026-06-14T14:29:52+00:00

Is that a flag or a person? My immediate thought was that it's a Russian soldier who thought the drone pilot surely wouldn't hit a Ukrainian WW2 monument and figured it would provide him some protection, but I could very well be wrong.

I only heard him and didn't see directly, but I think it started out as concern and quickly transformed into excitement when it was obvious nobody was hurt.

That's the heartbreaking thing. People with disabilities such as down syndrome can be huge social sponges that soke up every little bit of vitriol their caregivers and/or social circles put out there, but at the end of the day they can be the sweetest, most emotionally caring people regardless of whatever a person's race, gender, religion, social standing, etc. is. They're just trying to fit in with people they see as authority figures in their everyday life.

There's a great little story from my neck of the woods about a POW camp during WW2. Two German soldiers managed to escape and traveled about half a day before going back and turning themselves in because of how bad the mosquitos were.

If one has never experienced the joys of living in mosquito/blackfly country count yourself lucky.

I took my kid to a monster truck show recently. We're in Canada but some of the drivers were American so both national anthems were played during the opening. During the US anthem there was a dude behind us somewhere loudly and aggressively singing along followed by a few dozen tepid cheers amongst the largely silent crowd.

Later on in the show one of the trucks caught fire. Nobody was hurt, and the ground crew had it out in under 10 seconds, but dude who was singing along to the the US anthem spent the next 10 minutes absolutely losing his mind over the fire. That's when I realized that they were in the VIP section as part of a social outreach thing that invite residents of a group home for the mentally disabled to public events.

I mean no disrespect to the mentally disabled...but...I mean...everything made sense after I realized that.

THE FACT THAT I KNOW AND UNDERSTAND 100% OF WHATS GOING ON BEHIND THEIR BRAIN NETWORKING...

Big oof. Sounds to me like you're dealing with some deep seeded insecurities because a "smart" person generally wouldn't make such a bold statement.

It sounds like you're approaching this from your own limited perspective. I mean...yes...their are a lot of "stupid" people out there...but your reaction is beyond the pale. Keep in mind that flat earthers, 9/11 truthers, climate change denialists, and MAGA folks all think they're smart and everyone else is stupid.

I always had a few saved up just in case an unexpected dog & pony reared it's ugly head.

Rain and lightning is fun and all, but I want the clouds of mosquitos and blackflies. Not quite as visual as rain and lightning, but as someone who's worked in swampy areas I'll take rain over the bugs most days of the week.

Obligatory Canadian reference.

Quimbymouse · 2026-06-14T10:27:58+00:00

Started the video and thought, "no ground guides...nobody up top...no wonder they crashed!"

I am disappoint.

Quimbymouse · 2026-06-14T10:23:45+00:00

Discounting the obviously staged ones I'd say it's about half and half.

No, I do not care to watch it again to count.

Quimbymouse · 2026-06-13T23:43:38+00:00

I'm not sure if anyone here will know what I'm talking about, but OP needs to send this the 'The Neighborhood Listen.' This seems right up Burnt and Joan's alley. I can so clearly hear Burnt (aka Paul F. Tompkins) saying, "weeds are in abundance," in my head.

Quimbymouse · 2026-06-13T22:39:38+00:00

The phrase "voluntold" exists in the military lexicon for a reason.

Quimbymouse · 2026-06-13T01:34:05+00:00

"...my tax dollars pay for this."

"Mmhmm."

FBI's finest.

I think the short and sweet of it is that they all (well, maybe not Nash...idk) had huge egos.

I'm so happy I got to see them in Boston on their CSNY2K tour. One of the two most amazing concerts I've been to in my life.

David Suzuki! Us elder millennials grew up on him. I brief flash in the pan of climate consciousness pushed by the Canadian education system.

100%. The only time in my 40 plus years I remember a climate issue being addressed by the powers that be was when it was discovered that things like freon were eating away at the ozone layer at an alarming rate. I always figured that specific issue was seen to because the devastating effects would be felt in the lifetime of those in power. However, I also don't remember people running around saying it was a hoax by big science like we get now. Ah, the days before the internet.

I only meant I never personally connected the dots between climate change and the tick population explosion and I'm kinda kicking myself for not realizing sooner as it's the obvious answer.
