  • I love winter when it’s a real winter. I think most people who hate winter live in an area where they only get half winters.

    When each day is generally -5 to -10 degrees celsius, and you have a constant layer of snow around everywhere for a solid 2-3 months, is when winter is my favourite season of the year

    But when you have an average temperature of -1 degrees to 5 degrees, and you get random flurries on snow that melt and freeze constantly, then occasional freezing rain and hail, that’s when winter sucks.


  • Autumn is better than spring.

    Spring has too much melting snow from winter and hasn’t warmed up enough, so it’s always cold and damp.

    In autumn the ground is still bone dry from the what of the summer, so even when it rains it just soaks into the ground and you’re good. Then the heat of the summer is still around as it slowly cools into winter, so you still get warm days and cool nights.





  • I am curious what the logistics of a civil war would be, when the dividing issue is right wing vs left wing.

    Would it be state vs state? City vs city? Neighbour vs neighbour?

    I imagine a lot of people in red and blue cities would need to pack up and get the fuck out of Dodge if they are in a city that’s predominately the other side. Or even the state itself.

    Would cities mobilize their militarized police forces or would the police revolt in blue cities since they are mostly right wingers?

    It would probably be the federal government, probably the military, and probably the police forces, plus the wing citizens vs just the left wing citizens. I don’t see that ending well, since left wing citizens aren’t as likely to have guns either.








  • Americas entire culture around guns needs to change, not just a little bit more training and education.

    People who misuse guns don’t respect them or the power they yield. They views them as toys, and more often than not fuck around and find out.

    Teaching them how to lock a gun up and telling them it’s important won’t change behaviours until people start to respect guns and fear them. Not casually pose with them for Christmas cards with their grandbaby in the room.



  • I haven’t played silksong, but I’m just going off other games in the past for my experience.

    If you make it through the hallway of meaningless denizens that just waste time and get to the boss, then die to the boss… Why waste time going through the meaningless denizens again to challenge the boss?

    I can see it on higher difficulties when you need to make sure you get through the meaningless denizens perfectly in order to preserve your health and resources to have a better chance of defeating the boss.

    But when you just want to experience the story on lower difficulty why make the denizens less powerful to make the boss easier when you can instead just put the save point in front of the boss in instead of the denizens? You’ve already made it through the denizens, it’s not like you’re skipping content.

    I envy that you have a life where you can use cruise control when you are in your vehicle.

    If I am in my vehicle it is usually to go to work, which means crowded highways and people who cut me off or can’t maintain their speed worth a damn so if I use cruise control it’s only for like 5 seconds before I either have to hit the brakes move into another lane.

    It’s ridiculous how acceptable people think it is.

    I have someone I work with that seems to think the faster he goes the more important and busy he is, therefore he can treat everyone else on the road that follows the rules like they are just retired old geezers with nothing better to do.

    It’s infuriating. There is nothing I hate more than people with no patience or ability to plan ahead and leave at appropriate times.
