My wife and I found ourselves near Mt. Rushmore by happenstance durin a road trip several years back. We knew the history, but stopped in to see it for ourselves. We found it to be extremely shitty and underwhelming. The natural area behind the monument was incredible, and I absolutely understand why the indigenous people believed this place to be sacred, but the front was small, tacky, and depressing. I wish I could refund our admission and give it to some chill natives at a gas station instead.
I used to suffer extreme man colds as well, but losing the weight and quitting smoking/vaping did absolute wonders. Now when I get a cold I just rotate Acetamenophen and a low dose of Ibuprofen if I really need it, and take Echenacia 3x daily as though it's an antibiotic, despite wise internet sages needing to remind me every time that it's a placebo effect or their fucking heads will explode. Fortunately for me it's a placebo effect that yields excellent results, unlike the copious amounts of other alternatives I've entertained that didn't do shit for me.
Bro, when I moved from the US to Canada and became exposed to better chocolate overall, I about shit my pants. I for one can't wait.
Newer suburban housing often depresses me. You have these large, lovely homes, but they're crammed together so tightly that you could reach out of your kitchen window to turn on your neighbour's sink. The front yard is often just a strip of dry grass with a single crabapple sapling, and the back yard is a box the size of a small bathroom, devoid of both foliage and privacy from the eight other houses overlooking it, and serves largely as a box with air to place your dog in. This could be remedied if the developers weren't complete cunts and sacrificed a house or two per block to space the homes out a bit. But they can't waste an inch.
I certainly don't mean to throw shade at anyone who has purchased a home like this and enjoys living there. Everyone deserves a place to feel happy and comfortable. It just sucks that anything built in the last twenty years is erected with no privacy or quality of life in mind. It's just housebox. As long as you don't peer outside, you won't notice you're trapped in housebox. This is extremely common here in Alberta, and it's the reason my wife and I wound up buying an older home (1960s-70s) in a mature neighborhood. Most newer places we looked at felt as though they were missing a soul.
Just kind of gets to a point where the whole "detached home" thing doesn't really mean anything. May as well connect the walls into row housing and drop the price 100k.
I lived in the States for 30 years and Canada for 10. As an unofficial ambassador to both countries, I can confidently weigh in that you perfectly embody the American stereotype. You are loud, angry, spiteful, and removed. (starts with an R and ends with a D)
Immigration Canada: "Prove to us that your marriage is genuine. Prove that it wasn't for immigration purposes."
My wife and I: "You sure you want that?"
Immigration Canada: "Make with the proof."
My wife and I: 400 pages, front and back, of Skype call logs/timestamps. A fucking literal ream of paper
Flights that give Biscoff truly treat you like a king. Never mind all that other stuff. You're on a Biscoff flight. 👑
It went from fun to just mean. They got really rich and grew big heads. Now they're just nasty and arrogant. Even Christina dresses like a rich cunt who would run a child over with her car.
My brother finally got me into him like two months before he started going downhill. It was a shocking transition even for a new listener like me.
Elon won't do it. He's a pussy. He will back out and start calling Stewart a pedo on social media.
Holds up incredibly well. It's as timeless as the Vacation movies.
That shit is off the scales, bro.
I blew past this comment not even getting the reference at first, even though I watch Harry and the Hendersons with my daughter all the time. I actually got about five or six posts down my feed before it dawned on me and I had to come back to let you know.
When I see him with a beard, I suppose it's not the worst choice. Still, this series seems as though it will be a little unusual and not something anyone had asked for.
I have had similar experiences throughout my life with cannabis enjoyers offering up all kinds of theories and approaches for solving my severe incompatability with the plant. It would seem that my extreme panic attacks/psychedelic anxiety spirals brought on immediately with the chemical's onset are just simple matters of my mindset, paranoia, and/or the particular strain I'm smoking. It can all be solved by smoking indica instead of sativa, or by consuming a higher quality bud like Golden Berry Diesel or Anal Bifida. Nevermind that I've enjoyed countless other psychedelics throughout my life without the presence of the negative psychological effects brought on by THC specifically. This is all just me needing to not worry about it so much, or to smoke Buddha Fart Punch or Goatse Golddigger next time around.
Sorry, I got way off topic there.
I swear "quietly" is the new "slams".
What kind of bird, though? Like, we talking a chickadee? A northern flicker?
Make sure you cum on your ID first as tribute.
There was so much magic in this game. That soundtrack and overall atmosphere was incredible. I remember trying it in little bite-sized pieces at Toys R Us and the McDonald's lobby and being really blown away.
The last one frustrates me, but I also totally get it.
