I don’t get it. Is Backroom a Lemmy feature you’re requesting? A Lemmy community? Is it another app/site?

People said they monkeyed around.

We don’t put maple leaves on our stuff anymore because when we travel we end up getting confused with Americans trying to pretend they’re not Americans by putting maple leaves on their shit.

My reaction to this news was “oh yeah, that makes sense.”

And then I realized how seldom I’ve reacted to a news story that way in the last while.

A QR code to a Go Fund Me to donate money to the corporation.

“Boromir would have invaded Iran and Iraq”

The Globe sent Mr. Hoekstra’s office a series of questions on Tuesday, including what consequences he envisioned if The Globe does not publish an apology, and when the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa had last requested an apology from a Canadian media outlet.

Fucking lol

“Handjobs not handouts!”

How do you know he was Finnish?

Was this the one that spent the first half trying to explain that all religions were based on Egyptian mythology before awkwardly jumping to 9-11 stuff?

I think I remember burning this on DVD back in the day before watching it and being confused and disappointed.

If we’re entertaining this fantasy future, I imagine it would not be cleaned and would end up in a museum somewhere.

Sprayed with epoxy or something to seal in the smelly gunk, I imagine. Gotta immortalize the pedo bits for future generations.

The phrase was coined in 1985 by radio personality Jon Hein in response to a 1977 episode from the fifth season of the American sitcom “Happy Days”, in which the character of “Fonzie”(Henry Winkler) jumps over a live shark while on water-skis.

Basically any time a show goes on too long and tries to introduce a stupid, attention-getting gimmick to try to stay relevant.

I’ve had decent success with a deadpan stare and asking them to explain what they mean. Adjust your level of feigned stupidity or lack of sense of humour as needed.

“You’ve never heard me speak before? But you said the same thing to me last week when you heard me speak. Don’t you remember that? Is everything ok?”

My father in law deeply opposes this because “if they put that on the labels my wife will nag me even more about my drinking”.

I honestly don’t see the problem. If people don’t know drinking can cause cancer, the labels will provide critical health information. If they already knew it, then they’ll just ignore it and keep buying alcohol. Smokers already showed us the play book on this.

I haven’t heard a reasonable argument against labelling alcohol.
