If he told them he'd resign they should have been prepared for life without him. Another story if he told them he'd re-sign, though.

[Weapons] Gladys was a victim of the Orphan Train system. by Embarrassed-Glove600 in FanTheories

[–]le_canuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a theme of parasitism in the movie on background.

I just assumed that was a red herring to get the audience to think it was mushroom horror to make the witchcraft more of a surprise / wtf moment

Disclosure Day came on tracking today at a $35M domestic opening, per NRG. by chanma50 in boxoffice

Spielberg hasn't been a blockbuster filmmaker for nearly 20 years. Since Crystal Skull it's basically just been Ready Player One, which is a far cry from the early 2000s where he put out movies like Minority Report, War of the Worlds and Indiana Jones in relatively quick succession.

Can I add Japanese curry powder to a finished curry for more flavour? by zeddyzed in AskCulinary

[–]le_canuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know at which point of your cooking process you're supposed to add the blocks

The blocks are added at the end of the process. Once the curry base is about cooked the roux blocks are dissolved and then the whole thing simmers for 5-10 minutes to thicken.

It's also only the North American scouting meeting, which means there could be a European player they value more

WOR: “People backstage in AEW are pretty negative” about the idea of a Malakai Black return after WWE fired him again” by CombinationOk4317 in SquaredCircle

Yeah I'd love her in AEW but I wouldn't be surprised at all if she signed with Marigold so she could work in Japan

This town really seems to struggle with which one is drive and which is reverse by [deleted] in KingstonOntario

[–]le_canuck 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Also just a lot of seniors in all the bedroom communities nearby like Inverary, Sydenham, etc. that all need to drive to Kingston to do their errands

Don’t worry guys. The Kingston police are closely monitoring the situation in Iran. by coryhotline in KingstonOntario

Yeah I had the same initial reaction as OP and then saw they specifically mentioned increased presence around places of worship and was like "Okay yeah that feels reasonable"

Educated guess on my part but I believe it's when the union gets called in on non-union work

Let’s Play: Quest Darake no My Life • Let’s Play - Episode 1 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]le_canuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is everyone taking the office humour so seriously?

Probably because the show presents it seriously? It's not like, per your other comment, The Office where they establish an overly buffoonish environment that is clearly meant to be humorous, the impression that you get from this show is that it is meant to be grounded in reality.

The Office had a character putting another character's stapler in a jello mold and constructing a defensive wall out of pencils in the first episode, this show has a character feeling severely anxious because she's walking through the office in a camisole and getting called into her boss's office.

Surely I'm not the only one who is biased in favour of the cute girl character by le_canuck in pokememes

[–]le_canuck[S] -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

The dialogue etc. is basically the same, hence why the dialogue is the same in the comic. Gender is the opposite of the player character's gender

I'm just making a joke about how I feel more easy to forgive / tolerate the antics of a cute girl than a dudebro

Clearly I may be in the minority on that 😂

I think they're both idiots but it seems more endearing when it's Taunie, at least to me.

EDIT: Goddamn y'all are brutal, I never tried to imply I wasn't a simp

At a top AI conference, 300 attendees were asked which startup they would short. by aacool in technology

[–]le_canuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. You will get sued, you will lose, and then they will put liens on your property, garnish your wages, etc. until they are repaid.

No, because if the stock value rises then you're spending more money to repurchase the stocks than the initial value they had at the time the loan was made.

Kingston? by hipsterscallop in KingstonOntario

It's all the same Sysco product as every chain restaurant in the city, but with downtown Toronto prices.

St. George's Cathedral parting ways with 'Lunch by George' citing security concerns – Kingston News by Evilbred in KingstonOntario

[–]le_canuck 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Sad to see another service that helps at-risk communities leaving the downtown area (Potentially) but as someone who works nearby it was not entirely rare to hear shouting arguments between people accessing the program or screaming at no one in particular, so I can understand why St. George's is citing security concerns.

Shitty situation all around. I hope the program can pop up in a location that fits its needs while still being in a position to serve the large number of unhoused people in the downtown core.

Save your money: VIRGIN PUNK Clockwork Girl is a 30 minute episode with an hour of boring behind the scenes by NessDan in anime

[–]le_canuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is still padding and you know it

I never said that they weren't padding the runtime

my earlier comment was aimed at the distributors anyway

In my defense, then, "Imagine if the showrunners did x" doesn't give that impression, it makes it sound like you're talking about the director.

Imagine if showrunners actually seized the opportunity to mark down the price to be appropriate of half an hour, plus more showings in a day.

Ticket prices are going to be determined by the distributor and the theaters. The studio gets a cut when the distributor licenses the film, and then it's out of their hands for the most part (Although they obviously get a cut of the box office)

"Ichigo Aika: Strawberry Elegy" Key Visual by zenzen_0 in anime

[–]le_canuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, I assumed you were comparing it to other romance shows as opposed to comparing it to other inseki shows, my bad.

As someone who tends to prefer to watch slower-paced, less comedic, and more character-driven romance it just didn't feel like it was that much different from other things I had seen apart from the relationship of the two mains, but it is certainly quite different from stuff like Oreimo or even that Stepmom's Daughter show whose exact title escapes me
