i've been thinking about getting a helmet for a while, since i cycle to my job

but should i get full face one... feels like overkill but otoh i just had a patient with broken tooth from bicycle accident

You bike to work without a helmet? What are you, some sort of criminal?

Fucking hell Quebec. I haven't seen the sun in four days and everything has a weird orange filter on it.

Technically you’ll have to send your complaints to the lighting god of your choice; it’s not Canada’s fault they were targeted

This is something that always confused me. Goofy is a dog, Pluto is a dog yet one can talk and the other is reduced to being Mickey's pet.

I guess not all animals are born equal after all...

I couldn't find the clip of it, but Nick Mullen's take that both are "people", but Pluto is intellectually disabled and that's why he's forced to live like that never fails to get a smile out of me.

Maybe it's just Pluto's kink? Like those baby men in the Yakuza games.

You know what? I'd rather it be made canon goofy is mistreating a disabled man than entertain that notion.

Dakimakura isn't as exciting as the guilt when trying to buy them.

The people who like to joke that no one has actually read Gravity's Rainbow choose that book because the are fundamentally too cowardly to pick on something like Finnegans Wake.

Which is better, go to best friend's wedding but fight the best man, or don't go at all?

How much booze will there be?

How much booze will there be?

The question to ask before attending any social function. No matter how cringey or boring it may sound… alcohol will make it (at the very least) tolerable

The real question is what's your chances of winning? If you start a fight but lose, don't bother. But winning, especially if the other guy is a prick, could make it worth it.

[Nikiri]

does fighting the only option there

[tsugumi]

idk, if I fight them won't it sour the wedding, if the fight's serious? I wouldn't want to do that to my bestie.

It's like proposing at someone else's wedding: don't do that.

I like philosophy, but it's no secret that first year philosophy majors are insufferable. This is why philosophy Wikipedia is so fucking funny.

In the dawn there is a man progressing over the plain by means of holes which he is making in the ground. He uses an implement with two handles and he chucks it into the hole and he enkindles the stone in the hole with his steel hole by hole striking the fire out of the rocks which God has put there. On the plain behind him are the wanderers in search of bones and those who do not search and they move haltingly in the light like mechanisms whose movements are monitored with escapement and pallet so that they appear restrained by a prudence or reflectiveness which has no inner reality and they cross in their progress one by one that track of holes that runs to the rim of the visible ground and which seems less the pursuit of some continuance than the verification of a principle, a validation of sequence and causality as if each round and perfect hole owed its existence to the one before it there on that prairie upon which are the bones and the gatherers of bones and those who do not gather. He strikes fire in the hole and draws out his steel. Then they all move on again.

Have they found anything yet?

Just got my old laptop's files put on a new one. Well, most of them anyway. Make sure to back up your files regularly.

That's a little bit of a severe accusation to level at someone. I think you might be hallucinating something in my amusement slightly.

It’s a reference to a really fun and innocent book that teaches about all the wonderful things in life. You should read it to your kids someday
