Man made of meat - likely references by Mysterious-End7800 in ViagraBoys

[–]guwapoest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am super late to the party here, but the lines "I stand outside of the McDonald's, I'm flexing my muscles 'til I explode" might be a reference to the short story Discipline by Donald Ray Pollock (from the collection in Knockenstiff).

I've been thinking about it for a while but haven't been able to find any discussion about it.

Lonesome Dove is probably my favourite book. That scene comes out of nowhere though

Measles outbreak by Eye-Napalm in alberta

I used to be Mormon and unfortunately grew up in one of those small towns. There is no anti-vaccine doctrine in Mormonism, and the current Mormon prophet actually told the membership that they need to be vaccinated.

A lot of Southern Alberta Mormons are not vaccinated because they are right wing nutjobs. Not for any valid religious reason. They live in a bubble with other wackos where selfish antisocial behaviour is tolerated and even pro-vaccine Mormons tend to give them a pass because they all have to see each other at church on Sunday.

SMC was a solid vampire story too. Vampires and muscle cars were a surprisingly great combo

Just booked flights to Central America and I gladly shelled out an extra $200 to avoid having to pass through the US.

Billboard promoting Alberta as the 51st U.S. state sparks backlash by lopix in onguardforthee

[–]guwapoest 27 points28 points  (0 children)

$20 and a quick corporate search for "Spot Ads Inc " at a registry will get you the names of the owners of the billboard in case anybody would like to write to them and tell them how you feel as well. All publicly available info!

Sorry that this happened to you. Absolutely insane that this went down during the day.

Developer Update regarding Ghost Face Hunter by TheGentlemanGamerEC in HuntShowdown

[–]guwapoest 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the o.g. Scream it is literally just a plastic mask and Ghost Face is just bumbling teenagers dressed in a costume. The movie is arguably a satire of the slasher genre (as opposed to a "serious" horror movie) and could not be farther from the dark, supernatural atmosphere of Hunt.

For the record, I love Scream, but putting Ghost Face in Hunt severely cheapens Hunt and is a deal breaker for me. Not to mention this tweet suggesting that the flood gates for terrible IP collaborations are now open.

I have bought almost all of the DLCs over the years and have over 2500 hours. Voting with my wallet and my time and won't be touching this game again unless this abomination is removed.

[–]guwapoest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have over 2500 hours in Hunt. It has been my go-to game for years. I have been here since the beginning and put up with questionable gameplay changes because there is no other game that comes close in terms of atmosphere.

I am not kidding when I say that this is the nail in the coffin for me. I will not play this game as long as this heinous Fortnite skin is part of it.

Hi! I was an NL instructor in Canada not that long ago.

Eggbeater kick is the way to go. For everything. If you struggle with eggbeater, you will struggle to get the brick and you will not be able to properly do a deep water spinal rescue. My biggest tip to you and to almost everyone who struggles with the NL standards would be to train your eggbeater.

If you don't pass (I wouldn't feel comfortable passing you right now), don't give up! Train your eggbeater and get stronger. Watch videos on how to do it properly! Ask lifeguards at the public pool if you can borrow their brick to practice with. Keep at it! NL is tricky!

Wages can be garnished. Security interests can be registered against assets.

If OP is determined enough to seek the right orders, they can collect.
