I lived in the ass end of Alberta people are fucking idiots in AB. So glad I moved out of there. Seriously think of the worst place in AB if it wasn't where I was then it wasn't that bad of a spot spare a handful of names. If anyone knows Alberta well they can probably guess where that is cause it isn't south and only so many roads north.

Edit thought I'd mention there are exceptions, did have a few good employers and all but the random opinion wasn't in acceptance of helping people it seemed and to me we should life all people up to do better as a society. But not every person was a jerk with asshole opinions even in the remote places. To be fair never asked my employers they were just nice to me ... Huh.

I'm shy, my brother who is many years older than me would tell his friends how I'd yap his head off. They couldn't believe it cause I'd say almost nothing around them.

I see many homeless people in my area, I am more withdrawn but I always think of grabbing a case of water for our hot times to hand out, even if it may not be cool. Sort of too shy to follow through previously but it gets like 30-40C this part of Canada in the summer and we sort of need water to live.

Also why? (You probably said this but wanted to add my words) Unless you want your country to be batted around you need to stand strong. Is it for the best? Maybe not. Can we win? Probably not. But fighting authoritarian despots is needed to be a proper democracy. We can't bow down to fascism.

I'd rather pay more (or way more) and give the middle finger to the US government, fucking despot ruler. We need strong allies now and not our neighbors.

I do understand how some could not afford this luxury and I hope our government would help them through these times, because I think that's part of why I pay taxes to help the people who have less. I only wish it was more inclusive to help us grow as a country and tell others we helps others.

Read the title, Spaceballs! But you were quicker, may the Schwartz be with you.

I think at that point it'd just be Friends / How I met your mother....not that I'd complain...maybe in a Fallout/ Mad Max style depending how the next decades go. Mean Stuart was amusing as a side character but a spin off? Meh....I'd like to be wrong a good sitcom is always welcome.

They did great WH40K Rogue Trader and Pathfinder games, I'll gladly buy their games even if I never get around to finishing them. Still get my money's worth since they're quite long and they usually have good stories and decisions between the combat. Know it sounds like a marketing bit but they feel like the old Baldur's Gate / DnD games (well late 90s early 2000s ones, not the late 80s / early 90s ones heh)

I always liked the line in Dogma about them, don't turn ideas into beliefs, you can change ideas easier than beliefs. Paraphrased and I understand how much it waters down the whole problem but I still thought the idea of it was nice. Listen and be open, you shouldn't always need to be rigid. Though mean there are still ideals I'm rigid about, respect, compassion and such. Though I always thought the idea was you thought about what worked best for everyone not just what people said you should do cause tradition.

And the ending of the first was kinda perfect for cyberpunk, hit the high then toppled down lower than they ever dreamed. New characters to learn the same lesson but in a fun and entertaining way of course.

No one ever wins but the corporations in cyberpunk. Umm yeah just cyberpunk.

Always felt Donnie Brasco was somewhat underappreciated for the mob movies, and I definitely (okay maybe pretty sure, it's been a few decades now) remember him from that with the line 'you work for me now'. For some reason that one stuck with me. Seemed entertaining in his roles.

But I like cheese...

Well I was more just meaning when I was growing up and this is going back to the late 80s - 90s. I saw a lot more British television than other European TV (in fact none of other) so didn't exactly have much else to compare it to in the EU that was. From that and knowing they offered some good services such as post secondary education, healthcare etc it felt like a nicer fit for my ideas. Plus the amount of British words we tended to use.
