A close friend/former guildie of my wife’s is a very wholesome and well-accomplished person who secured her dream job with the CDC during Biden’s administration, just to have that job abolished by Trump/DOGE pretty much immediately. It was a very high-up/directoral position involving the outreach of sexual education/awareness for special needs individuals, who are often the unwilling/misunderstanding partipants of sexual abuse. Her entire department was ruled non-essential and was eliminated overnight. I guess it fucked her up pretty bad. She’s okay now, but is back to square one, searching for a suitable job.

Fuck Donald Trump and fuck DOGE.

That man enjoys gentle mornings beside the goose garden.

Next one will be the Tesla Model 80085…

His juvenile enthusiasm for the letter X is so ten-year-old boy with sunglasses.

They did this in Calgary and then everyone’s teeth went tits up.

I find it hilarious that the little bitch-boy thinks he has any ground to speak to a respected world leader who served as PM for just shy of a decade.

Also, Trudeau in all his good-natured gentleness would absolutely fuck Shapiro up one-on-one.

It sucks to hear the reality of working within the industry. I grew up on Morrowind with (wholly unpursued) dreams of working for Bethesda. I couldn’t think of anything more incredible than to be a part of that, building and cluttering those environments, and possibly even writing the lore for The Elder Scrolls. I was so involved in those games. I knew how to use the Construction Kit, and contributed here and there to the modding community. I never took any actions to set me on that career path, but that was my childhood dream.

I’d still jump at the chance to do it now, but I know it wouldn’t be the experience I imagined it to be.

The voters for sure. I’ve engaged with so many obnoxious, irrational, hyper-aggressive people lately who are so high on their own farts and delusion that they’re beyond getting through to. One guy even offered to “fly me out today” to fight him over the subject. Right-wing propoganda has them angry at their own shadow.

I know advocating for violence is frowned upon, but maybe fucking these people up is the only way to get through to them. Seems to be the only language they speak by the end of any argument.

One of my staff does this every day of his life. His roommate works with us as well and confirms it. Dude will game until 10am, then crash for a couple of hours and be into work at 1pm. Rinse and repeat. Five days per week. Rolls out of bed with ten minutes to spare, throws on his uniform and starts walking. I don’t know how he survives the lifestyle, but I guess it’s working for him.

My kid (5) grabbed “The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish Swish Swish” at the library and she laughed her ass off at all the mustached women dancing on every page. Kids don’t fucking care. Sometimes dudes dress like ladies. Some people are gay. That’s all you have to tell them. If you don’t, your kid will just grow up to a fucking idiot who cannot comprehend these simple facts.

That would have been the only footage of a human getting their head blown apart that I would have watched every day over breakfast.

I remember at least liking it a fair bit because it played a lot like Halo 1. I was a huge fan of the original and never cared as much for the sequels. I remember all of my friends got really into ODST, and I hated the direction it had taken the gameplay. So when Reach came out and felt comfortable in my hands again, I was stoked.

That Pledge of Allegiance shit really worked.

I feel like a broken record sometimes, but I am a left-leaning American living in Alberta for nearly a decade now. I watched first-hand the slow downward spiral of the American Republican party. I watched conservatives in my country become dumber and more impressionable with every election, absorbing the hate, the conspiracies, and the ridiculous rhetoric like a sponge.

I am now watching this same process play out here in Canada, albeit with a bit more resistance. I firmly believe that Canadians, as a whole, are more sensible and better educated than their North American counterparts. I don’t say that with shade toward my fellow Americans, but the last election speaks volumes. But now with these tariffs I am surrounded by proud conservative Canadians who are angry at the Trump administration and the atrocities south of the border. They want to buy Canadian. They want to remain Canadian. And yet many of them are still proudly standing by Danielle Smith and the UCP.

I do believe there is a slow awakening taking place, but I’m fearful that it’s not happening quickly enough. I’m fearful that if enough people do put their country over party and elect Carney, they’ll eventually consume so much of the bullshit pie that they will do everything in their power to vote him out after a few years. I just hope that Canadians are not so forgetful.

I lived in the States for 30 years and Canada for 10. As an unofficial ambassador to both countries, I can confidently weigh in that you perfectly embody the American stereotype. You are loud, angry, spiteful, and removed. (starts with an R and ends with a D)

Immigration Canada: “Prove to us that your marriage is genuine. Prove that it wasn’t for immigration purposes.”

My wife and I: “You sure you want that?”

Immigration Canada: “Make with the proof.”

My wife and I: 400 pages, front and back, of Skype call logs/timestamps. A fucking literal ream of paper

Elon won’t do it. He’s a pussy. He will back out and start calling Stewart a pedo on social media.

There was so much magic in this game. That soundtrack and overall atmosphere was incredible. I remember trying it in little bite-sized pieces at Toys R Us and the McDonald’s lobby and being really blown away.

I really enjoyed my Shepard and Liara romance during the Mass Effect trilogy, but I don’t think it’s particularly well executed in most other games.
