“I’m here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I’m not sure they even still make bubblegum these days.”

Remember, if you’re hot, they’re hot. Let them cool off in your portable in-flesh pool.

Love trailers, fucking hate ads for cars and stupid bullshit played before or after trailers.

Obviously still not realistic, but I feel like the super-imposed text thing some TV shows/movies have done more recently works, so long as you create a sense of tension/time crunch.

Toss in some red text and error messages once and a while in front of a dude sweating with dramatic music in the background, and it gets the point across.

I mean, call it whatever, it really doesn’t matter that much, but why not pop punk? Seems to be the more common label, and easily extended to non-US bands like Sum41, Gob, etc.

I’m sorry, what??? I’m just as perplexed as you are, where are you seeing this and can you drop a link?

There’s been more than a few times my kid has called me out by saying “Use your inside thoughts”.

If you’re an adult Pokemon fan, these days fan-mades or rom hacks are the way to go. Nintendo/The Pokemon Company/Game Freak are pretty damn risk averse with this property, so the really cool stuff comes from fans (at least until they get the cease and desist).

Thing is, a lot of information about the current state of political affairs is blasting through all channels. Some people just want to use Lemmy to shitpost, hang out in CasualConversation, or look a funnies from Stamets.

I think that’s a fair use case, and doesn’t necessarily mean someone who does this is sticking their head in the sand about the current political order going to shit.

Canada, various provinces - either weed whacker or whipper-snipper.

Scott calls it a trimmer sometimes, but Scott’s a dick and we hate him.

Edit: Fuck you too, Scott.

Frank Sherwood Roland and Mario Molina have entered the chat.

Fair enough - glad you’re trying something to address this lot! Believe it or not, did actually mean this as a ‘what if/what are the ramifications for orgs like this if that happened’, but probably best not to entertain that yourself at the moment.

As a total aside, good song to keep spirits up today might be The Last Saskatchewan Pirate by Captain Tractor - very last line before final chorus is relevant :)

Good luck with what you’re doing!

Silly idle thought (for real): Suppose in a situation like this, particularly if people complain on the internet drawing attention to the fact that there’s 1000s of pounds of produce in a space that likely doesn’t have funding for strong security measures, a group of interested parties brought some trucks and took it without explicit permission or consent from the organization.

What’s the impact to the org in situations where this isn’t given away to unauthorized parties, but gets stolen instead?

Whenever I see someone with sunglasses inside, I always chalk it up to a) not being arsed to remove them, b) light-sensitivity due to migraine/hangover, or c) being on some sort of drug (sunglasses = invisibility cloak/comfort blanket for some folks).

All of these are totally valid. Douchey is as douchey does, if folks are acting polite/keeping to themselves I don’t judge.

It’s not the worst idea, though of course you’d need to figure out if taking a job in another city is worth maybe having to move your family/your wife having to transfer or find a new role herself.

Don’t limit yourself to this, but something to think about re: searching: What private labs operate in your part of Canada (Lifelabs, Dynacare, etc.)? Who holds the contracts for hospital lab sample/supply transportation (this can be tricky to suss out, but if you find yourself near hospitals at all, think about the branding on courier vans you see)? Etc.

I see you’re at lemmy.ca - are you a Canadian? If so, and you don’t mind sharing, where in the country do you live?

Your experience makes me think something re: logistics operations in the medical industry could be of interest, and I see postings from time to time. But availability really hinges on where you are. Won’t lie, they are stressful jobs, but compensation and benefits can be good, and there’s some opportunity to cut your teeth on projects like route optimization and/or get paid PM training.

🎶Gotta catch 'em all, 2C-B!🎶

Based on your definition of chav (I too thought tracksuits, trainers, and UK urban slang), think about the kind of hobbies folks like this do. Dunno if it’s an exact equivalent, but if someone was looking for a redneck here in Canada, they’d be going to car and truck shows/events, hunting events, small town bars, fishing derbies, small circuit pro-wrestling events, farm/harvest festivals, county fairs, that kind of thing.

I really need to try it again with a guide, I want to see the wild shit after that first damn level.
