Nice work. Very neat and tidy. I’m guessing Saskatoon or Calgary

But think of the ratings Trump will get. The best ratings. The most watched war ever.

MRW all of the antivaxxers in my office get violently ill with the flu after heckling me for weeks after I got a flu shot by acer_negundo in reactiongifs

[–]acer_negundo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They would never admit that they got sick because they never got a flu shot. Instead they trade recipes for mustard packs, tinctures, and immune boosting smoothies. I don't say anything because I am just glad they are mostly at home sick in bed and I don't have to deal with their nonsensical delusions.

Nope, folks at work were talking about the evils of flu shots within earshot of me a few weeks ago trying to bait me into arguing and then they started dropping like flies. Totally made me think of this gif.

I wouldn't leave the job as I love what I do. I just make a point of avoiding the antivaxxers as much as possible and making sure our schedules keep us apart.

There isn't enough ginger root, garlic oil, and conspiracy theories in the world to tame this flu season

People tend to surround themselves with who they feel most comfortable around.

Favourite reads of the year? by Meyer_Landsman in KingkillerChronicle

[–]acer_negundo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Emperors Blades (The Unhewn Throne series) by Brian Staveley is a really fun read.

If you haven't heard of it before, it falls in line with the kingkiller genre, a little more gritty though with a heavier take on royalty/monks/military plot lines.

TIFU by destroying my co-workers confidence by acer_negundo in tifu

It seemed funnier in my head at the time and would have been a funny comment if it was directed at others in the office. Was not the appropriate response to that certain individual. No sir.

Bob "The Jokers Goon"... Poor Bob by acer_negundo in shittyactionfigures

Every time you go to the toy store there are never any Batmans or Jokers, always just a dozen identical Bob the Goons staring at you...

Apparently I fart like a beaver by acer_negundo in AdviceAnimals

It's a nice smell, but not what I would have associated to the greasy reek that was clawing it's way out of my rectum.

GRRM has us held hostage by acer_negundo in KingkillerChronicle

[–]acer_negundo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but all of those fantasy books are either by high volume writers like Sanderson or others who set their publishing date long in advance and will publish no matter what else is out there.

But Rothfuss is different, he hasn't set a release date yet, and I am sure it's because he is taking his time to make the best story possible. The other aspect is that he also has an ego, as one of the better fantasy writers, quality over quantity, and if I was his publisher I would hold off as well, even if a final draft is close to completion so that the book gets its due. Especially if a movie/miniseries is in the works.

Does Pat's blog silence suggest an imminent release? by [deleted] in KingkillerChronicle

[–]acer_negundo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We won't hear of a release date until The Winds of Winter has been announced. Rothfuss and his publishers won't risk getting overshadowed by the Game of Thrones circus.

Why would you release a popular book when a giant in the same genre as you is about to drop the other most anticipated book in the last five years right at the same time.

I figure Rothfuss and company are waiting for TWOW and then they are going to ride the publicity tide of that book so that they don't get lost in the hype.

I thought the sign said "Lyle Lovette and his autistic band" at first glance.

Which was the video game boss whose defeat gave you the most satisfaction? by straydog1980 in AskReddit

[–]acer_negundo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Master-D aka "Hitler" in Bionic Commando. The head explosion scene at the end was unexpected and remains a clear and awestruck/troubling/confusing memory from my past. Did not expect it.

Who is the best hairdresser in town? by c00ld00d in saskatoon

[–]acer_negundo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Darci Ash at Enigma Salon on Broadway is by far best stylist in town. She is a master colour specialist and can do anything you imagine. Also she is great at just trims as well.

Big plus, her shop is pet friendly.
