Japandroids - Near To The Wild Heart Of Life

This song aggressively reminds me of the mix of anxiety and excitement I had before moving out on my own for the first time. I came from a small town, and moved to the “big city” in my province. I had never moved anywhere before, let alone without my parents. That was 15 years ago now, but this takes me right back. It’s also a banger (in my opinion).

Same! It’s usually my right eye, and if I close it it helps. Doesn’t stop entirely, but dampens it quite a bit.

Neat, I never knew it was French! I’ve been buying the single issues in English as they’ve come out, but I think we only have two volumes so far.

Edit: It’s sold as ‘Animal Castle’ here in Canada, and published by Ablaze Publishing.

I don’t think the artist is saying only Boomers have this problem. It is possible to express one’s opinion on one issue without needing to address all similar issues.

Also it would be rather weird to have a Boomer and a Zoomer together in this situation.

Hey, that’s pretty neat! I like the color and design of the thing. Looks pretty easy to throw in a pocket too.

Appears to be real (note, this is an X link).

Nooooooooooo, don’t give me a reason to want to go to GP 😭

Maga should be blue shirt, Biden should be red shirt, and the dude should be the press.

But not every language has the double meanings of right and left.

Probably a typo of “said maybe”

“Blaster Master?” takes long drag on cigarette “I haven’t heard that name game in years.”

Man, I remember playing the OG on NES. Didn’t know they remade it… And made it all anime lookin’? Neat. If you’ll excuse me, I must go and tidy my crypt now.

I recently picked up the Castlevania Anniversary Collection. For all the Metroidvanias I’ve played as an adult, I never really got too into them as a kid. Gotta make up for that at some point, lol. Symphony of the Night isn’t on there, but I don’t want to start mid storyline (I’m kidding). My biggest fear is playing Castlevania will just make me more impatient for the next season of Castlevania Nocturne.

Sweet, thanks! I loved the heck outta Blasphemous and the Ori games. I’d love to see another game in the Ori universe, it’s so pretty. Some of the others have been on my wish list for a bit. Might be time to crack one open.

Another not bad series is Guacamelee. I haven’t played the second one yet, but I really enjoyed the humor and gameplay of the first.

Looks neat! I’m terrified of the ocean though, lol.

Ah, got me there. Thanks for the info!

My main point, that moon rise and set don’t bookend nighttime, still stands. I was just arguing with the wrong deets. 1:34 am and 5:20 pm are not the start and end of the night. I’ll edit my post to better reflect reality in a bit.

Human Cannonball

Hear me out: Many circus performers are multi disciplined, or put on an incredible display of training and talent. The last big top I went to had a knife throwing couple who also did a fantastic roller skating routine, a few very talented clowns/jugglers, and a bike troupe in a ball of death. Just to name a few. These people have devoted days or years of their lives to their craft. Do you know how hard it is to ride a bicycle across a tight rope with someone on your shoulders?

The Human Cannonball? He got launched out of the cannon and did one flip before getting caught by the net. That’s all he did that night, yet he came out and bowed with the rest of the performers like he was an equal contributor.

We had some winners in my city a few years ago.

Here’s my favorite quote from that article:

“The money is in the car,” Comrie insists. “Who’s the spender? Does a bicyclist go and buy sporting goods, or furniture, or clothing? Or are they just out for a ride?”

Does this guy think cyclists are sitting naked in empty apartments wishing they had clothes and furniture? Luckily he did not win the election.

Yeah, that’s my thinking too. English, and language in general, is very fluid. Different regions will have different colloquialisms, and even different dialects of the same language. So long as we all understand what is meant does it really matter all that much how it was said?

But “Coffee fourth”/“fourth coffee” and “23rd July”/“July 23rd” are different things. I don’t think it’s a good comparison.

With the coffees you are counting how many you’ve had. The thing being counted is explicitly stated in the phrase.

With dates, you are not counting the number of July’s. This isn’t my 23rd July, but the 23rd day of this July. The thing being counted is only implied by colloquial understanding.

So yes, “coffee fourth” doesn’t work, but that doesn’t have much bearing on how to say a date in my opinion

They could be from Canada too. We’re in that fun zone of being mostly Oxford/metric/DMY, but due to proximity and history we still use a lot of Webster/imperial/MDY. My dad is from the past so he speaks in Fahrenheit but calls it “English”. Send help.

However, saying “July 23rd” feels more natural and efficient to me than “The 23rd of July”. That translates to me writing 07/23 over 23/07. To each their own though, I’m not gonna harsh any mellows over date formatting.
