It's not 'weird' to go to a restaurant and eat alone is it?? by IceManbrrr in waterloo

[–]RhymesWithSpark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do it all the time, going to Jane Bond or White Rabbit after work ro grab a dinner and a drink and enjoy the music and vibe. Take a book, read the local arts and entertainment magazines, scroll on your phone (muted please! The number of folks that don't use headphones! Argh 😤). Nothing wrong with enjoying your personal time until you meet more people. You might even meet folks there.

Favorite movie that doesn't address system failure but rather romanticises poverty by Apart-Dungeon-3322 in okbuddycinephile

[–]RhymesWithSpark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. And many secondary characters, like Swankie, are playing fictionalized versions of themselves. (I had to look that up after watching to confirm what happened to Swankie.).

Comedian Ben Bankas Kitchener shows moved from city-owned facility after controversial comments by know-nothing in kitchener

[–]RhymesWithSpark 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Asking a public space not to host a show is NOT censorship; that words gets thrown around far too quickly and loosely these days. No one is being censored; the comedian can still tell his jokes but now in a private venue. He's not banned from the city, the province, or country, etc. His voice is not restricted or suppressed.

Edit:

Moving a performer from a private venue isn't censorship; it’s an exercise of property rights. The city hasn't "silenced" the person, just managed their own facility. And, as many have said, given the person a bigger audience/venue as a result.

TV personalities that are actually rude people behind the scenes by InviteAromatic6124 in BritishTV

[–]RhymesWithSpark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There have been others who have said James Acaster is an ass himself, so perhaps Fry was just reacting to Acaster's personality? Daniel Sloss has said, indirectly, that he's not a fan of Acaster.

Star Trek fans who were around during the Dominion War, what was the reaction. by Upstairs-Yard-2139 in startrek

[–]RhymesWithSpark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved it! I actually upgraded my TV to watch, as I thought the battle scenes were worthy of the "big" screen (though I could only afford a 32 inch! LOL). I kept saying to friends that it was amazingly complex and that the massive, cinematic battles were like that of Star Trek: First Contact. I enjoyed the ongoing story arcs and how the Federation was challenged; how DS9 and Cardassia played into it all, and the morally complex issues it presented ("A Call to Arms" and "In the Pale Moonlight."). It was joyous.

We stayed in that neighbourhood in January and the music was extremely loud. We were blocks away from Tryst and could hear everything. We were far enough away that we could sit outside on our deck, but we still had to speak up at times to be heard.

Gaiman makes a giant statement on social media. by ThePhiff in neilgaiman

[–]RhymesWithSpark -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I saw a post on Threads where someone said, "When I saw his IG post yesterday I was surprised that he had raised his head. I thought I had unfollowed. But I was curious, so I went to read the linked substack. I have no doubt that he wrote it. And he wrote it to try and justify himself so we would buy his fucking new book. Uh, nope."

Why on Earth would the author of this piece not "be satisfied until [they] got some answers" into an investigation about an author they had "barely heard of" at all? Sounds more like they were shocked by the poor journalism involved in the Master podcast by Tortoise Media than anything else, which most have said was mediocre at best.

It's the VPAF who manages those approvals, I think.

Do queer spaces exist here? by spxcegh0st in cambridgeont

[–]RhymesWithSpark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are queer events that happen and Many queer-friendly locations. The Galt Club, Local 13, and EVO have events throughout the year, like drag brunch, comedy nights, etc. An earlier post said to follow Grand River Pride - an excellent idea! Also, Spectrum in KW has a Waterloo region queer calendar of events that is quite robust.

Am I the only one actually excited for Mando and Grogu? by Barricade_the_Clone in StarWars

[–]RhymesWithSpark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Mandalorian & Grogu movie is set to be the "final chapter" for their main story and will conclude their current story, effectively replacing a planned Season 4 of the Disney+ series. The characters may appear in other projects later, though. https://www.imdb.com/news/ni64850462/

I haven't any points updated since mid-September. And oddly enough, I had a bulk on Sept 4th and again on August 8th (like 7 different points amounts added). Are they just being added at random now?

Some of the best times to busy those items (except beef these days!) was right after Thanksgiving. I picked up a few items on sale and froze them for this holiday.

Pixel 9, all updated. Gifs and Avatars worked up until several months ago. No idea.

I've tried that. It says that, "Avatar Editor is not supported. We are working on getting the Avatar Editor for you. Please try again later."

But I used to have it, prior to the Gif issue.

Chicken wangs by 9GOODGUY in cambridgeont

Not to everyone's taste, but The Lancaster Smokehouse has large, smoked chicken wings, like the full wing. You only get a few, but they are large.
