Malice and incompetence are etched into the same side of a coin.

Speak for yourself. Gimme that drama free dick.

It's because they can afford to. I remember pre-covid a local gem restaurant bought up a spot in the airport, did well. Covid hit and they didn't have the money to support a location while air travel was at a low. Plus extra costs associated with running a restaurant during a pandemic.

There were other, complex reasons, too. The owners were assholes, some employees spoke out about working conditions, and they had a PR nightmare. But honestly, it was good food.

Still, all those problems would be a blip on the chart for a company like Tim Hortons who can get away with shit quality and shit conditions ad infinitum.

Waves and Blenz are a crapshoot for decent coffee, but they have good blended drinks. Turks, JJ Bean, Kafka's and Palette, and Matchstick(though I've heard some bad gossip about an owner) are all great for coffee and espresso.

I've BEEN there and it's fantastic. They have great fibre and leather craft supplies, too. I've gotten multiple orders shipped so far, everything had been fast and great quality.

This is the mindset to have when new people discover anything you enjoy. Great way to put it.

Anything that can be ordered through amazon can usually be ordered from another company, Canadian or not, and sent by Canada Post - who are way easier to deal with than amazon couriers. You can also search for items on google maps for hits on local store websites.

So...we don't want allies before they invade us, only after. Got it.

There are a few people in America who agree with your stance on refugees.

A good friend compliments your outfit. A best friend says you're too old to be wearing tripp jeans.

If we don't want to be embarrassed about who we hang out with, we gotta be dicks sometimes.

I liked Windows 97.

One of the problems I've always had with the left (I'm a queer-ass lefty) is they talk like a cover letter written by AI. They're treading carefully, trying to appeal to everyone, and sound like the soulless middle managers they are. The most iconic thing Kamela said, to me, is when she called the republicans weird.

I hope things like this become more common. I want to hear what people really think so I don't feel like I'm going crazy alone. Be more like Bernie. Hell. I would love it if Bernie dropped some fuck yous and bitch asses.

 

I've been using this site for over a year every time I get stuck on a subject.

 

Nominative determinism is the hypothesis that people tend to gravitate towards areas of work that fit their names. The term was first used in the magazine New Scientist in 1994, after the magazine's humorous "Feedback" column noted several studies carried out by researchers with remarkably fitting surnames.

 

What free, online tools do you use when you're stuck on words, descriptions or motivation? Powerthesaurus.org is one of my favourites because it does phrases as well. I know there's a paid version, but I haven't used it.
