  • I don’t understand what the logic was behind this decision. Like… literally no one wins.

    1. Baristas are handed extra unnecessary and tedious as fuck work

    2. Customers are just confused but also having to wait longer because that little bit of writing adds up with everything else. Then there’s the fact you typically just look for your name, now you’ve got extra written text to throw you.

    3. Corporate doesn’t make as much profit because pen costs are gonna rise and wait times are gonna extend

    Like… who the fuck was this for?

    I feel like things being real or true matters. Maybe that’s just me

    So you don’t watch any fictional movies, don’t watch stand up, don’t read books, none of that? Or are you just drawing an arbitrary line?

    Moreover, you do not know if it is true or not. You are making an assumption and then insisting that assumption is reality. So why should we trust you? Or even her? We shouldn’t. We should do what I said. Just live your life and stop getting hung up over policing the reality of someone elses world based off of an assumption you’ve made.

    This is just sad. If you were going through your own life going “Fake” that’d be one thing. But you’re just actively jumping into a comment section to throw shade and question a post. You are actively using more effort for something you don’t think is real than the thing that happened. You could do what the rest of us do and just move on considering this isn’t remotely important and the veracity of it doesn’t make any difference. Also because it’s a funny story and generally the majority of us don’t start questioning peoples funny stories.

    Like… do you do this at parties? Or is it only acceptable because it’s online?

    Grow up dude. Seriously. This is some just childish behavior with a good helping of narcissism. I’m just gonna go ahead and block you now because if this is the type of content you’re just putting out there immediately then I seriously doubt you’re going to have anything to contribute later that will be constructive.

    Who cares? Just enjoy things for what they are. Believing this isn’t tantamount to saying the sun revolves around the earth and we dunno if it is fake or not.

    Just be, my guy. It doesn’t add anything to the conversation, it doesn’t build on anything, it just tears down and is deconstructive over a funny post for no reason whatsoever. It’s just you personally rolling up, pointing and going “FAKE.” You appear to be new here so lemme just say to leave this type of toxic and unhelpful garbage on reddit.










  • No. I’m using them interchangably here because they are interchangable here. You know. Because they’re synonymous. It is as simple as that. If you want, then sure. I will go back and edit my comment just for you so you can see that it doesn’t change a single bit.

    However, If you want to invent a more convoluted train of thought that you want to ascribe to me (because you, of course, know what happens in my head better than I do), by all means, but it won’t change what I meant. Nor will it get me to engage. You already spent every ounce of good will by inventing your own narrative. I’m not going to be a part of it.


  • Lemmy is built off of reddit, so fuck Lemmy right?

    Japans constitution is built off of the US Constitution, so fuck Japan right?

    The Space Program is built off of rockets that were used to kill people, so fuck the Saturn V, right?

    Canada is built off of the British so fuck Canada, right?

    Nuclear energy is built off Nuclear weapons, so fuck Nuclear energy, right?

    Chemotherapy is built off of Mustard Gas, so fuck chemotherapy, right?

    I’m guessing no to all of those and the 30 others I can spit out because you’ve got little arguments built up for each one, but here’s the problem. You have to make arguments for each one because your entire stance is nonsense. It’s just “I before E comes after C.” Is it accurate for some things? Yes. Is it accurate for the majority? Absolutely not.

    So, yes really. It is a truly insane way to live that is reductive, immature and just openly ignorant about how the world works. You have a one track mind that is so focused on hating something that you utterly and openly reject everything that comes after, regardless of how it might be different. At least, that is what you are saying if you say you reject everything based off of a bad thing. That is helpful for literally no one. Personally? I’d recommend coming at it from a mature angle and actually judging it based on what it is. To not ignore the past, but to also not ignore the future either. You have just decided to paint everything black and white. Grey exists too.

    I’m not continuing this because you do not seem to be interested in anything other than the rut-stance you’ve chosen for yourself.

  • So many fucking things. This was like 5ish years ago.

    1. I was moving that day as my birthday is at the end of the month and was pissing rain. A friend of mine had said he was going to help me move and we had planned for weeks. Day of he said he didn’t feel like it. Not that he didn’t feel up to it, just he wasn’t in the mood. I had to figure out something literally last second as the landlord was waiting for me to leave. I ended up having to pay an absurd amount of money to get a cab to move my stuff across the city in multiple trips, some stuff getting wet with me being forced to leave stuff outside during trips. Luckily nothing was stolen.

    2. I get there and the keys haven’t been left like the landlord said they’d be. Took 3 hours for them to show up. They refused to text me the wifi password (I was only renting a room). My phone died before they got there.

    3. My computer monitor broke during the move. No use of the PC at all.

    4. Phone won’t stay on when charging for some reason so I decide to walk down the street. By this point it’s around 8-9pm. I pick up some cheap garbage pizza, literally the walkout deal they had because I couldn’t afford anything for my birthday anymore after the cab ride. As I’m walking home I trip and send the pizza box flying. Pizza lands facedown in a puddle.

    5. I start walking home on the verge of tears. Start walking down the side residential street. Some dude walks up and pulls out a knife and asks for my wallet and phone. Say I don’t have my phone, just a wallet and hold out the wallet. He takes it and just punches me in the face as hard as he could and he runs off. I end up on the ground for a few minutes trying to figure out my bearings. I get up to keep going home to call the cops as I was only a couple minutes away. I saw someone sitting on their porch watching. Didn’t say a thing. Just watching.

    6. I get home and see my bedroom door left open and unlocked. No phone. Only one other person was in the house and they were set to move out the next day. I started pounding on the door to give me my phone back and heard movement. I tried opening but it was locked so I kicked it open to see them trying to hide a bunch of shit that they took from my room. I punched them as hard as I could in the throat and then started gathering my shit before kicking them in the ribs, taking a pot of their weed and going into my room.

    7. It was early in the days of legal weed in Canada and the Ontario Cannabis Store website was having issues with its weed. Chief of which was that a lot of their product was going stale or moldy, some with dead bugs in it. The pot of weed that I took from their room was of moldy weed and completely useless.

    8. I didn’t get a single lick of sleep because the one time I did start to fall asleep I woke up hearing my doorknob being rattled and said “I will gladly kill you.” It stopped. They moved out the next morning, I locked the front door and put a chair under it and then passed out.





  • You seem to be under the impression that I’m defending the idea of the US invading Canada.

    No? I just missed a step in my text a bit. My point was that while the US military is strong and could outright invade Canada with tanks and planes and guns… that isn’t how the war would actually be fought. It would instantly turn to guerilla warfare as normal citizens started weaponizing themselves, crossing into the United States, and being able to carry out attacks on American infrastructure while looking and sounding the same as Americans.

    Canada can’t prepare a ton more than it already has but America can’t prepare at all. The infrastructure in America is way too vulnerable and any war with Canada would mean a destruction of American infrastructure carried out by people wearing not uniforms but a smile.
