Somehow aptly applicable.

“Welcome to the future: a boring dystopia where the most nightmarish technology is just another cutesy promotional tool.”

Sandy Loam :]]]

People that rip on Shatner’s acting never saw nothin’!

Little late to the party, but Ive done DI the last bunch of shows Ive played. It simplifies things. If I were playing Carnegie Id bring an amp, but to a bar? Save some stage space, one less thing to kick over mid-set. Ive had sound guys mic me off-axis, lol. Im my experience, sound guys like giving you the XLR. Stage presence hasn’t been that bad either, maybe Ive just been lucky, but they’ve been able to push bass into my monitor.

Its funny that a lot of people will promote large-government policies but simultaneously hate their government :]

The essence of hope-- The rebelliousness of youth.

Naturally. But don’t get black-pilled :] They want us demoralized.

No, I dont own a hard crypto wallet :3 plz dnt chop

I dont think its even that convenient! It requires electricity, web connectivity and loads of digital logic. My state ID just tangibly exists.

Its hard to believe anyone would use the thing. It’ll be more problematic if/when its used for regulatory purposes. Sort of at the desensitization still. Today.

I had to take a State exam for licensure a few years back. I was told that I had to take a palm/vein scan to prove my identity. I informed her Ive never had one so it could not prove my identity-- but hey, Im the crazy one. Its on a server somewhere now tho… Modernity is pretty stupid, tbh.

Put this on for a buddy last week while working. ‘Bro, dark-hair girls love this stuff.’ :p Amazing album, honestly.

Big ups on the format :]

I currently use the rare Pepe variant as my desktop background. Beautiful painting tho.

We just had a breakthrough :] Canadians don’t pay taxes. That’s right! Finally some insight from you. Is it presumptuous for me to think you’re cool with this limitation? What about other current limitations? What about literacy… How will the illiterate make their selections otherwise? Are you really a member of society if you dont know the language… However many think that this would be ‘voter suppression.’ The bar is literally that low.

Ive known of plenty of people who’ve had their children removed from their custody. Are they still ‘parenting’ when their child is a ward of the State? There is nuance to be found here. Not to mention the actual legal definition isn’t as you claim…

So smoking less weed is not an improvement? They should instead just keep smoking joints in the living room with the toddler at the TV? Surely this doesnt actually appeal to you. Smoking less weed means more net-income and more short-term memory. This is not controversial.

Imagine doing so little to move the conversation and being indignant about the way it goes :]

This is not an explanation as to WHY foreigners shouldn’t vote. You are merely regurgitating our existing rules. Surly you get this :p Again: Canada shares thousands of miles or borders, they’re our trade partners, they share many of our values. We are a meltingpot nation built of foreigners… There are reasons why we could. But you know its inherintly bankrupt, which is fine, because it is a bankrupt idea. I’d love to tell you reasons why, but thats kind of your onus at this point.

I think absent parents are synonymous with nonparents. They’re literally not parenting, lol. I know, Im not a lingustic expert but I think most people would agree. I think this is actually a breakthrough for us. You seem to think parenting is the act of having children, I think parenting is the act of raising children. Interesting.

Im not really taken by your partisanism or your (boring) research :p Oh, dont get all bent up, notice how you are not persuaded by evidence-based argumentation despite spending 1/2 our time demanding it. Its a funny life.

Jeez D00d, your comprehension levels… Yeesh. You STILL have made no reasoned argument as to WHY Canada shouldn’t be allowed. You just said that ‘it doesnt effect them.’ I told you why it does. You are now insisting that you made an attempt. You didnt :] Again, if its so easy then do it.

My positon was all the way at the top. Its that ‘parents are (more) invested in the future.’ Its pretty simple, tbh. You asked for eVidEncE, I gave you something corroborating (nonparents use drugs at higher rates which insinuates a lack of investment toward the future). You didnt think it was enough, so I gave you more (how drug use lessens functional memory, something parents need a lot). Now you’re saying I never provided any evidence. Honk honk.

Okay heres some more evidence: "Men are more likely than women to give no parental investment to their children, and the children of low-investing fathers are more likely to give less parental investment to their own children… Daughters of absent fathers are more likely to seek short-term partners, and one theory explains this as a preference for outside (non-partner) social support because of the perceived uncertain future and uncertain availability of committing partners in a high-stress environment. [Emphasis added]

Apparently babies will innately understand the future-investment concept. But will you? :p

“A new Johns Hopkins Medicine analysis of national trauma data shows that trauma patients were four times more likely to die from gunshot wounds and nearly nine times more likely to die from stab wounds before getting to a trauma center in 2014, compared with rates in 2007.”

Notice how you cannot asnwer questions directly posed to you. The truth is, bud, you haven’t made an argument yet. I probably got you pegged-- You dont have strong feelings about civics, you have strong feelings about Twitter/Musk. Its alright, but dont think you’ve done anything but flounder there with your arms crossed thinking Ill go away. WHY shouldnt Canadians be allowed to vote? Why are the current limitations cool (or not)? Make an argument, lol. Say something. Surprise me :p

Ah, proving me right. Sealioning for EviDenCe then denying it when its linked. “Cant provide me ANY evidence!” Classic Reddit. I dont think the study is boring because its weak, I think its boring because its from pubmed. Heres some more truly mind blowing research on drug use. You’ll be shocked and fascinated, Im sure. Marijuana is bad for short term memory? Why, its basically synonymous with short-sightedness… Dont tell me that instant-gratification isnt a virtue! No!

I think you’re right that my negative reaction to the study sort of poisoned the water. Yet I dont believe for a second that a PubMed study ever changed your mind about anything. I dont think you understand why I linked to the Replication Crisis. And I think you believe there is a study for every imginable topic. Its… its… hahahaha :]

This is the sad reality. Gun violence is generally committed by sick people. Similarly, I saw this chart a few years back on Australian gun/knife violence. The plots are mirrored. Violence is sort of static.
