  • Ah, true. I've only seen it through youtube videos. Not sure if I'd be okay with going to a live performance, even if I didn't go in standard RHPS attire.

    Tim Hortons is, to hear the opinion of anyone I know who has actually gone to one, like a blight upon the earth.

    I have been there and I don't think it is

    You know, for all that I complain about this era, it really is probably the only one so far I could survive in for very long.  I mean, with modern medicine and understanding of autism and anxiety, and all the special education programs (many of which were founded by my grandpa Carl during his tenure as Mayor) and everything that people have done to help me through school.


    On the whole, when I think about my life, I feel that I need to be grateful to society.
    Agreed. I can look askance at the current state of political affairs as much as I want, but as a black guy who relies heavily on technology, I wouldn't know what to do with myself in an earlier point in the time line.

    ...then again, if I didn't have the internet to distract me, I might have become a professional musician at this point.
    You'd probably be friends with Capitola Dickerson and play sax with William Grant Still.

    I was mixed on RHPS when I saw it, not as mixed on O'Brien for sure.
  • I visited a Tims while I was at Toronto Pearson and it was pretty good. Your standard fast food donut shop, I guess.

    Maybe I wouldn't be quite as positive if it were ubiquitous, but even then, it's kind of hard to fuck donuts up. (Coffee, now, that's another story, but you can't really have one without the other at a place like that, no?)

    Tim Hortons is fine. Their regular coffee is meh, but their dark roast they introduced a couple years ago is pretty good. Their baked goods are also fine but nothing exciting, with one exception: the gingerbread doughnut they have during the holiday season is the greatest invention in the history of humanity.

    Also anyone who considers Tim Hortons part of their "cultural identity" is a Canadian in disguise, sorry facts are facts.

    My dreams exceed my real life
    In my Ancient History class back in college, the professor gave us two texts of surviving greek poetry. This is the first one, written by a Spartan author, Tyrtaeus

    Rise up, warriors, take your stand at one another's sides,

    your feet set wide and rooted like oaks in the ground.

    Then bide your time, biting your lip, for you were born

    from the blood of Heracles, unbeatable by mortal men,

    and the god of gods has never turned his back on you. 
     

    So cast off whatever fears arise at the armored legions

    they'll muster before you, hedge yourself round

    with hollow shields, and learn to love death's ink-black

    shadow as much as you love the light of dawn.

    So that when the hour comes, the battle lines drawn, 
     

    you won't hang back beyond javelin and stone but,

    marshaled into ranks, advance as one to engage your enemy

    hand to hand. Then hefting your bronze-tipped

    spears and raking the air with your broadswords,

    set foot to foot, battle dress to weaponry, 
     

    horsehair crest to polished mail, and --- helmet to helmet,

    eye to eye --- mangle their gear, hack off limbs, lay open

    the organs that warm their chests, then beat them down

    until the plain runs red with enemy blood and you

    still stand, breathlessly gripping your wet sword's hilt. 


    This is the second one, from Archilochus, a soldier from the island of Paros.

    Some barbarian is waving my shield, since I was obliged to
    leave that perfectly good piece of equipment behind
    under a bush. But I got away, so what does it matter?
    Let the shield go; I can buy another one equally good.

    I hear they have milk in bags there too so this seems like it's probably true.

    how so
  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    Okay, Batman's pretty great right now.

    Cassandra Cain's superhero emblem is the stitches on her mask because of course it is, that's what everyone remembers about her visually.
  • I am in

    A lot of pain
  • Fibromyalgia sucks

    I'm sorry. I really wish you didn't have to deal with that.

    Congrats! I knew you could do it.

    thanks
  • I need a haircut.

    Not even dry shampoo can save my hair right now.

    Ah, did they finally rescue her from whatever hell she was trapped in for most of New 52?
  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    She just didn't exist until Batman and Robin Eternal. Which you should totally read, it's her re-introduction, as well as a lot of other pre-New 52 things.

    You should also read We Are Robin, which introduces entirely new characters and things.
  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    Actually, all things considered, the Bat-books have consistently been the strongest thing they had in both the New 52 as well as Rebirth.

    Which is more than I can say for...everything else. Maybe not the best books, but the ones with the most consistent quality and everyone can agree is pretty darn good.
  • I know, I know. I'll get around to it at some point.

    Is Stephanie Brown also back? I remember her also being trapped in the same continuity hell as Cain.

    A Tory Justice Minister filibustered a SNP bill to pardon gay people convicted under old laws, just so the MoJ could push through its own version where living people have to apply to be pardoned, with the specious argument of "But paedophiles will be pardoned with their bill!" (Spoiler, no they wouldn't.)
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Why can't we think of the British Isles without putting "Paedoph" in front of them?
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    weird how gayness is apparently still a literal crime in some backwards places
