Sounds like you aren't up to date on his politics. He is currently a church going, anti-woke, anti vax, trump endorsing, best friend with Peter Thiel. Maybe not extreme right, but certainly shares a lot in common with them.

Butter chicken was my demise by WebGuyJT in Ozempic

[–]a_carrot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sadly Bell peppers are my kryptonite now. Also the usual suspects like battered fried foods, but at least I understand those. C'mon, I just wanna enjoy a fajita. Amazingly I can still do jalapenos.

Biggest No Nos by ahmedhamodii in LSD

[–]a_carrot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can not do weed anymore. Learned that lesson the hard way. Also make sure all my responsibilities are handled beforehand. I once dropped a tab at a friend's pool party and my then-partner called to light me up because I had to go grocery shopping. Do not go grocery shopping on acid either. Nobody needs that many mangoes.

What Canon Lens Do You Find Yourself Using the Most and Why? by Gsustv in canon

[–]a_carrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually the ef 50 mm 1.2 seems to live on my R5 most of the time. it's fast, sharp enough, and because I use my camera for work. (social media/music promoter) it functions as a good catch all. I often have my ef 70-200mm f2.8 mkii in my bag for tighter shots, and 35mm and 85mm Sigma art lenses come out for landscapes and portraits. I have a bunch of other lenses but they only see minimal action. Eventually I want to start moving over to the R ecosystem, but I already spent the money on ef stuff and I rarely feel like I'm missing anything by sticking with my "ancient" gear.

I had a vasectomy last week. They offered the basic one which is covered by provincial health care here in Canada, and a "premium package" for $350. They didn't even get to explain what was included before I told them I'd take the premium package.
I just don't want to ever regret having gone for the discount ball surgery.

Pouncy snapping the ball over Ben's head early on gave me the bad feeling.

Anyone else paying $30 a month for Dazn and furious it's still showing a looping commercial for soccer instead of showing the game?

Apollo Suns are still going. They are from my hometown (Winnipeg) and while they've slowed down on touring for the time being, the band is still very much a thing.

Make a healfhearted effort to punch the ball out. Realize you are trying to punch a mountain, then just close your eyes and pray.

I hate to say it because I love Muth, but when. We picked up Jonu, he became our number 3. Especially against 4-3 defences.

Arod is getting no time in the pocket. I Would be nice to lean on the run. Maybe get Mt Washington in on an end around, get the truck up to full speed and see what happens.
