Damnit, I like this title much more.

Oh cool, hadn’t even thought about Monty’s helmet and did not know about the forward pass!

This is legit one of the funnier films I’ve seen.

A sugar rush that costs in both the short and long term feels like the trump special at this point.

Thanks!

Agreed!

Thanks, we’re both pretty happy about it!

Not a real response, but this is a very nice comment and I think it’s the type of thing that makes the fediverse a better place.

I got one a few months ago that is my abslolute favourite, not sure if it counts. Important context, I’m 40 but still play soccer with folks as young as 20. So, one game I’m defending against a young fast kid and beat him to the ball (barely!) a few times in a row on long ball chases. After the third or fourth time he looks over after the race and says “You’re really fast for an… uhhh uh uh, you’re really fast!”

He meant so well and it was adorable watching him realize mid sentence that I probably didn’t want to be called an old man.

Goddamn, I remember when this show came out. Tom was a hero.

And then South Park happened and we basically forgot about him.

Rural communities already overwhelmingly use community post boxes. If the proposed changes really disadvantage rural folks, then that’ll be something to change.

Ha, good clarification!

Sadly, I keep too busy with other stuff so I don’t have that much time for tv. I can usually sort of keep up with 1 - 2 shows at a time. I’ll have a bit more in the fall but my backlog is pretty big (the Bear, Fargo and Succession are the next 3 in my queue.)

Postal service is very different from everything else you listed. The reason we’re pumping so much money into those is that money should act as a significant multiplier for creating jobs and moving money through tbe economy.

Subsidizing the Post, while creating a better service doesn’t have the same sort of multiplier benefit, other than the Keynesian hole digging style of employment.

I may not love the climate effects of some of these projects but from a “will these employ people and get a decent amount of money closing through the economy”, the answer is pretty definitively yes.

I’m not sure how the Postal service could be used to help our friends in Ukraine or deter Russian aggression in Europe, but open to suggestions!

Wait, they’re still in a budget hole after this plan? That’s some union!

(Canada Post is on track to cost 1.5 billion over costs in 2025, so almost $40 for each of the 40ish million Canadians including children etc.)

Most of those are handled provincially and I can’t speak for other provinces but BC at least is using federal transfer ms (which budget cuts elsewhere help fund) to help hire more nurses and firefighters.

Next pandemic, I’ll have to watch all of Voyager and then play this as it looks like a good time!

I’m torn. I don’t want anyone to lose their jobs but I don’t love subsidizing reasonably expensive jobs that don’t provide much in surplus value compared to say, teachers, nurses, firefighters etc, all of whom we desperately need.

“America will no longer bail out the world… What, didn’t Milei say nice things about me? Well, take whatever he needs!”

About as convincing as Ray on trailer park boys getting busted for solicitation. “What? Prostitution? That money wasn’t for sex! It was for… This is illegal!”
