Also great. A fun series but dense as hell.

Ursula K Le Guin, Alaistair Reynolds, Margaret Atwood (For the Maddaddam trilogy,) Jules Verne, John Windham.

I recommend House of Suns, Terminal World and Revenger.

I’ve had a few good ones. They respected my time, talked to me like a person, treated me how they wanted to be treated, didn’t ask me to do anything outside of my job description without compensation, and acted like we were a team instead of boss/employee.

I had one real shitty job I stayed in because my supervisor was fantastic. Every shift, no matter how much of a clusterfuck it was, he genuinely thanked every single employee for their time.

Well done. What materials did you use?

Panzer of the Lake is among our most precious and underused memes.

It’s a horseshoe and Dr. Phil is at the other end. That’s what happens when someone’s only exposure to mental health is made up of celebrities and influencers.

The fact that he still has a platform is evidence we need better mental health care.

Oh it’s the Orange Joe.

It’s almost like what used to be a popular drink in Ontario and Manitoba, but nearly unheard of anywhere else I’ve asked. It’s just Pilk with alcohol.

The Paralyzer:

1 part milk

2 parts pepsi or coca cola

1 ounce vodka

1 ounce coffee liqueur

People who don’t use photoshop forget it’s used for:

1. Editing and colour-correcting images.
2. Graphic Design and digital painting.
3. Straight up drawing.

I’m not saying it’s the most practical software for those applications but it’s a primary tool for many photographers and artists.

Moe is such a talented lemonade merchant he has to stay open till the early hours to sate the townsfolk’s addiction to his citrus crack.

I appreciate that. I’m going to see if there’s anything published on/by them at my local library. (not sarcastic I love the library)

Restorative justice programs have been implemented in Indigenous Canadian communities with higher success than the existing contemporary justice system. With high recursion and incarceration rates for indigenous people, those programs address the root of crime without punishment while still holding perpetrators accountable. Most importantly, it’s done in a way that seeks to support rather than re-victimize those affected by crime.

I absolutely agree with the abolishionist movement but hadn’t known till now that it was large scale and worldwide. I agree with the changes being made locally without understanding the whole philosophy, basically. Thanks for giving me a good reason to learn more about it.

Are you drunk right now?

I mean these things should be legal in a world where coercion, manipulation and abuse are still frowned upon. Why I put capable of enthusiastic consent in there.

If a 30yo and a 60yo genuinely want to bang, I got no problem with that.

If you didn’t care what anyone thought, why did you post your opinion on the internet?

Getting your bike stolen is one of the worst feelings, too. Mine is my transportation and excercise, how I get to work and how I unwind.

Most bikes aren’t insured, like a car. There are resources to register your bike for free (Garage 529) in case it gets stolen. But unless people are actively searching for your bike, or someone tries to pawn it, on one’s checking those things.

If I caught someone trying to steal my bike I think I’d be within my rights to take a finger.

With all conditions being the same, a sober driver is still much safer than a drunk one. Traffic and hazards are not always predictable.

In an ideal world all fucking would be followed by a party with cake.
