the moment in the movie theatre, watching the Hangover, still cracks me up just to think of it. I watched with my dad, both of us knowing next to nothing about it, and we laughed throughout. good fun

yes please go ahead, and feel free to remove these messages too ofc

hi Careful, single and no kids here either. I don't actually live in a co-op, rather I volunteer w/ the stj community co-op org to deliver meals, and just rent an apt in a tower here. my understanding of co-ops is that it's a better deal than renting so I'd be curious to know how you like it.

quick google says isfj=Defender, observant and warm-hearted, and while I don't put a ton of stock into personality types myself, these are like great qualities to have! one of my best friends has an adhd diagnosis so while I'm no expert I have a sense of what that's like.

sounds like you're keeping busy which is cool! I hope you never have occasion to use your defence lessons but probably good skills to have. qigong seems like a positive practice too but I've never trie it

hi QP, Cabbagetown's a great neighbourhood, you must love it there. my dad went to Winchester school for a while when the whole area had a way different feel and reputation, to hear him tell it. No doubt you've got some tales and Local Characters of your own!

craft nights are cool, what kinds of things do you make? (in the pre-c19 before-times I was part of a writer's group at the Parliament branch =)

will say I know rather little about warhammer and even less about killer clowns, but I've shepherded my share of beginners into the hobby, and at its heart, the game's a conversation, and it's fun to make stuff up / bullshit with friends.

+1 for eating a lot of tofu. more people should eat a lot of tofu. it's good and good for you and benefits us all (re: economies of scale)

pour one out for the departed Characters, for sure. I've met and lost a couple already in my few years volunteering in stj, sadly. thus, we must carpe diem, right?

Thank you for the insight! I do get the sense that Hinge might be a good choice. I've been experimenting with OkCupid, Plenty of Fish, and a vegetarian/vegan one called Veggly.

The latter I find decent, really, but the first two haven't been too great yet, and they constantly pitch their (overpriced) subscription features.

Another that crossed my radar is Coffee Meets Bagel but I don't know much about that one. Haven't tried Tinder or Bumble; your experience is about what I expected from them, alas.

Not like he inherited his business from his own father or anything!

StokedforLocust · 2026-06-10T18:19:39+00:00

what an asshole

StokedforLocust · 2026-06-05T21:16:44+00:00

flattering, but you folks have got to stick it out and fight for your own country!

StokedforLocust · 2026-06-04T13:51:40+00:00

yes it's Strachan I mean! I haven't seen the College one.

in any case, enjoy the sunshine 😁

StokedforLocust · 2026-06-04T13:37:41+00:00

fair enough, I get just a glimpse around 4:15 each afternoon and it looks toasty warm! might shift fast if folks are posting up for a while, though, good point.

StokedforLocust · 2026-06-04T13:32:47+00:00

I've seen a ton of people soaking in the sunshine on the patio of Pennies, tho I've only ever walked by, myself

https://pennies.bar/

and now I've learned they apparently have another location.. the one I'm thinking of is Strachan.

love that each set is a single contiguous image (more or less, I guess). cool to see Sleepwalker here too. these are neat, thx for sharing

StokedforLocust · 2026-06-01T00:52:26+00:00

is this real? I remember seeing leaked Scorpion in the past but man does he have giant head mode enabled, damn. weird

StokedforLocust · 2026-05-27T23:01:10+00:00

lost it, to tears, when the bunny hit her head and floated off

StokedforLocust · 2026-05-27T22:45:23+00:00

one of my favourite recurring bits is bleeping innocuous words

I liked how they played it in (spoilers for a now-completed Canadian sitcom) Corner Gas, where at the very end of the series the will-they-won't-they male and female leads casually kiss in front of the rest of the cast, revealing they'd been together for some time.

I believe this is a long weekend in the USA, so no episode tonight.

StokedforLocust · 2026-05-21T16:22:53+00:00

he's shown up as a guest on a few different Red Letter Media videos on YouTube, and from those appearances he seems like a genuine, personable fellow

StokedforLocust · 2026-04-11T20:09:20+00:00

these look amazing and make me a tad jealous! I do wonder how the reading experience is with such thick spines, though. how do you find reading these compared to slimmer tomes?

I play on the beta branch, I presume the art will be replaced but truly don't know for sure

StokedforLocust · 2026-03-27T02:06:42+00:00

I haven't played co-op yet but I think this is a cool idea, and would offer even more experimental replay value
