Yeah, sure sucks when people go out of their way to bend their personal code of supporting creatives they enjoy to ensure they don’t contribute money to a hateful bigot who actively makes things worse for vulnerable minorities. Yeah, that sure is motivated by external approval of internet strangers.

Now that’s a keeper

It brings me comfort knowing they aren’t competent enough to surprise attack Canada

*turns to look at Alabama expectantly*

We really gotta make neon a thing again

For legal reasons I cannot have any opinion on the following: Gestures broadly at everything in the Middle East

A metal red uno reverse card sits in my wallet. It was a gift from my girlfriend and an acknowledgement of our in joke of replying no u to compliments and I love yous.

Don’t worry, we’re in the worst one

No ridicule here, only empathy. It’s a rough hand you’ve been dealt. I wish I had some magic advice to give you but I don’t have any relevant knowledge of Cambodia or how to better secure a life for yourself. What I can say is that being in your 20’s you still have plenty of time to figure your life out.

You’re educated and in tech so it’s possible some remote work could come your way, or that you could try your hand at creating something of your own to try and market. Contributing to GitHub projects might help you make some connections and networking for jobs. If all else fails, there’s no shame in doing some retail, sales, or labour work while you wait for the tech market to improve (I’m in IT myself, it’s rough out there right now with all these layoffs.).

Either way, please don’t make any rash choices you can’t take back. It may seem pretty hopeless right now but time has a way of changing that perspective. The world is better with you in it.

Much love from your Canadian brother :)

Fuck clapping back in a country with that high a level of access to guns and that little mental health access. Anyone could have a gun and I’m not playing that game. I’m not usually too confrontation adverse but I’d change my name to Mat (First name Floor) before arguing with a weirdly aggressive American.

Hi, great write up with good info. I’d recommend some formatting though as without breaks it’s just a massive wall of text. Thanks for contributing to the discussion with such valuable insights!

Task failed successfully

When you get evicted due to no fault of your own because the landlord intends to renovate the property. It’s often done so they can slap in a new carpet, some tiles and a new bathtub and then jack the price up 1200$ and call it a luxury property.

You don’t have to, but it sure helps

Kissed a dude. I’m a dude. He tried to use tongue, I’m a straight guy so that was a nope

I’d like to propose a micro-genre: Bromance films

Definition: Two or three characters (who need not actually be men) just getting up to mad shit and being great friends either before or as a result of the journey. Not entirely unlike a buddy cop movie but no need for cops.

Examples: Princess Bride, Road to El Dorado, Emperor’s New Groove, Three Musketeers

This micro-genre is absolutely predicated on the quality of it’s dialogue but it’s some of the best out there.

Still a very generous post, no faulting you there

Excellent recommendations, but I have to say those artUK links are absolutely infuriating on mobile, you can’t actually zoom in on the (quite small) painting for some reason.

I’d recommend just making a new Microsoft account for them, then leaving the username/password with the staff, ideally someone in their IT crew.
