I don’t think he realizes he’s playing Uno.

Thanks. I’ve tried enough things to have a pretty good idea of what I will and won’t like. I love biking - I used to be in a mountain bike racing league - so I know that one will be a win once the weather gets better. The hard part now is getting past the executive dysfunction and actually signing up for some things.

I am. Actually, that’s part of the concern. I’ve been fairly sedentary the last several years and my cardio is garbage. I bought a new bike last month and have been trying to get out for rides, but the weather has had other ideas. I don’t really enjoy exercise for its own sake, so I’m also looking into some sort of prepaid fitness classes to keep me accountable.

I was diagnosed with ADHD after I quit smoking and my symptoms went crazy a couple of years ago. Took meds for a while, and now my doctor’s taken me off them while we sort out some potential heart concerns. The meds helped a lot and now I’m back to bad symptoms and chaos brain. This is the first time I’ve missed cigarettes since I quit; it’s crazy how much they helped.

I’m going to get one, though not right at launch. I skipped the Switch, and the backward compatibility sold me on the 2 because it means I can still play original Switch games, plus have access to anything interesting that comes out in the future. I also like that it’s a little bit bigger.

If I already owned a Switch I would probably skip the 2, at least until there’s a reasonable used market for them.

Coffee = brain wants to nap, body is vibrating too hard to relax.

Hey, for once an obscure reference I understand!

I’ve been in two abusive relationships as an adult. Two years with a woman who I’m pretty sure had BPD. Five years with a man who hits all the markers for NPD. This tracks, based on my anecdotal experience.

I’m only a mensa genius

There’s your problem. You need to be a stable genius for any of it to make sense.

The ultimate irony is that the first popular incel support community was started by a woman.

That’s pretty much where I’m at as well. My riding is currently blue, and every piece of mass-mail propaganda I’ve gotten from the current MP has used a lot of words to say an awful lot of nothing.

I’ve generally voted NDP, but they need to make some leadership changes. I don’t believe that the current NDP leadership would be effective in handling the overgrown toddler running the show in the US, and PP would hand us to him on a silver platter. I don’t actively dislike Carney so far, so at least that’s something.

Eggs are a staple food and an ingredient in an absolute fuck ton of things. They’re also very nutrient-dense and a major source of protein for vegetarians and people who can’t eat meat. Sure, you can just not buy eggs but that’s not realistic for everyone and it doesn’t stop the price of everything that includes eggs as an ingredient from going up.

• I get to drive my very nice new-to-me car on ~1500 km of fun mountain highways next week
• I’m taking a weaving class in a few weeks
• My grandmother’s 100th birthday is next month
• My best friend is coming to visit for the first time in three years this summer, then I’m flying back with her to spend a couple of weeks in her city

I have never spent more time pretending to be busy than when I’ve had to work in an office. And god help the person who drags me away from what I’m doing every five minutes for “meetings”.

True, but the context of the original comment was the federal level, with Alberta being the blue patch in a sea of (federal) red.

Pretty sure they meant red, as in Liberal Party red, as opposed to CPC blue.

I’ve always had a hard time using a controller with the tank controls, but I love the keyboard controls (I may be in the minority here). Worth trying if you’re playing on PC.

My current partner and I are planning on getting married in the next couple of years. He’s wonderful. I don’t see this relationship ending, but if it does my best friend and I plan on throwing darts at a map until we hit somewhere we both like. We’ll get a place and become old punk grandmas together because neither of us wants to deal with dating ever again.

It was going okay before dude started bragging about how he went out with a lady not too long before. He wasn’t all that into her and he said she clearly wasn’t into him, but he paid for dinner and guilted her into going home with him because he “might as well get something out of paying for her.” Giant red flag at this point. I went to the bathroom, when I came back the bill was on the table. He claimed that the server had brought it as one bill, rather than separate, and pointed out that she’d drawn a heart around the total in red pen. He refused to let me pay for my portion.

The thing is, it’s standard practice for servers to ask if the bill should be together or separate here, and I’d always been asked at that particular bar. Dude wasn’t a local and clearly didn’t know that. This guy told me about how he used “but I paid so now you owe me” to coerce a woman he knew wasn’t interested into having sex with him, and then immediately tried the same bullshit on me. He had deliberately asked for a single bill while I was away from the table. I’m reasonably certain he’s the one who drew the heart on the bill too.

Needless to say, it didn’t work. He still tried to drag me off to catch the train in his direction with him and got real upset when I told him to fuck himself and bolted. I’m very glad it was an early date so it was still light out. This guy did not take kindly to being told no.
