Exceedingly kind of you to assume they can read a ballot.

Tim Hortons is owned by Restaurant Brands International, which is itself majority owned by American private equity.

What makes it not American owned?

I noticed a few weeks ago that a lot of people were pooping and taking so much goddamn time in the bathroom. Like, what’s going on?

Oh, they were sneaking in to write on my birthday card. It’s even a tradition and it was my birthday party but no, my stupid fucking brain decided the logical explanation was that everyone had diarrhea.

So I guess I’m the reason party guy has to worry.

Yes, that’s right, I ordered the Mount Doom soufflé.

Drop a large bowl of candy on their shore with a sign that says “one candy per child” and then come back the next day and count how many were taken.

Mmmmm except Shaq is huge so he’s already basically 2 guys. So with his shares, instead of 0.5 guys it just cancels out to 1.

QED Shaq == Shaq, no?

There’s only one and he’s booked months in advance.

Once one of those damn bottles gets in your hand you start to see how many hinges and other metal, mechanical parts are in your home.

And it’s glorious.

Shit, now I’ve got the People’s Court music stuck in my head.

So I can either have a serious, life altering injury, or gain some knowledge that shapes others’ perspectives?

I don’t have to agree with them, but I can understand them a little better and also be able to walk. I don’t think this one’s a tricky decision.

Covid era restaurant menus. They were nice and fringe before that.

I like browsing the repository at https://www.linuxserver.io/ from time to time. Since they only make docker images for popular projects, it’s a good way to see a more curated list of what people are using instead of getting lost in giant lists of open source projects.

I think you’d get your answer by looking into how that works with motorcycles, since that’s a better analogy than cars.

What safety standards are you thinking of? Vehicle maintenance? Proof of competence to operate it? Following laws while moving?

The easy answer to it is probably “because enforcing cyclists is hard and doesn’t pay for itself in fines.”

I drive and cycle.

When I’m riding my bike and break traffic rules, I’m a suicidal idiot.

When I’m driving my car and break traffic rules, I’m a dangerous menace to others.

Drivers don’t get to clutch pearls when their actions directly cause death and injury to others. A cyclist riding like an idiot is like a motorcyclist without a helmet - the vast majority of the danger is on themselves.

We’re not sending our best.

I’ve had several friends and family who got into this state and took a few months or years to decide what they wanted.

Of them, most were just taking a break from the emotional labour of dating, which I totally get. Some went back to online dating but others didn’t intentionally look for a relationship until something fell in their lap (a new coworker, etc).

Some just never dated again. I know a couple people in their 60s/70s who had just had enough and were perfectly happy to live alone.

IMO there’s nothing wrong with taking this approach, and I think the best way to go in is to just say “I’m not dating right now”. Don’t say never again and don’t set an artificial timer when you need to jump back in.

Things often work out if you don’t try to force yourself into doing or not doing something. Read how you’re feeling in the moment and go from that. It removes so much of the pressure on yourself to do or think certain things.
