Garage bulletin board

I have some reflector shoelaces that are too short for all of my shoes that have laces so I guess I gotta find a tutorial for turning this thing into a reflector for my bag which currently doesn't have one :|c

 

Uhhhhhh so SOMETHING sure just happened to Tumblr

 

FD Signifier's new video fixed me.

 

TIL the US has had multiple Idolatry Parks.

 

Do not look at the comments on PM Weekes' latest video.

 

Hmm.

"I see the problem with this thing being that people include X Features And Concepts without thinking about their implications further than 'this is how they work for me' and it makes for worse discussions all around"

"Well, I like including those things and I don't want to be convinced out of liking them."

.... yes? I think we're talking past each other, but okay.

 

Like I'm not sure how you got "I don't want people to like this thing" out of me saying "the way people write this thing is frustrating because people don't think about the implications you were discussing before"

 

I'm not coming for your right to feel a strong personal connection to a thing because I dislike the way most people do it.

 

Chatting with my friend and once again stunned and surprised about how much Canada/Quebec is just Finland But Over There.

 

I'm curious in what ways you mean, if you feel like elaborating!

 

• Northeners
• similar climate
• lingistically separated from their geographic neighbours (monolingualism is a social statement)
• A majority population present as a minority in the society
• Xenophobic for reasons that track historically but in the present just result in hostility towards brown people for no fucking reason
• Project an outward appearance of secularity while still having a strong unexamined streak of Conservative Christian values (Catholic over there, Lutheran over here)
• hockey
• swearing!!!!

 

Also I was gonna say "politics that are in conflict with the social values of the culture thanks to the aforementioned xenophobia" but like... almost everywhere puts some level of emphasis on getting-along and hospitality and almost everywhere is undergoing a bit of a Moment Of Right-Wing Agitation against strangers who have done jack nor shit to us.

Also technically subjects and victims of imperialism while also being the beneficiaries of our own colonialism and trying to act like we were totally only ever independent victims of the selfsame. This comparison is also weaker because while French-Quebecois aren't native to North America, Finns are native to the Finnish peninsula, even if there are other peoples native to this region that we frankly can't stop getting our fucking colonialism on at.
