I just assumed it was gibberish similar to "ziggy zig ah"

It's why I never got into it even though it's fun. Long before Steam they've had a subscription which is supposedly justified due to Google charging for their API or whatever.

Alrighty neighbour

(Awl, neighbour (Wilson) to the right)

The extra layer to this is using a pic of the show with Bob Barker, even though Drew Carrey will be coming up on 18 years hosting the show this fall.

Exactly. I have a batch of cupcakes in the oven so the timer is set for 12 mins, but I also want to melt some chocolate for the ganache while that's going.

Luckily, my microwave supports doing both, but I've cooked at other people's houses and their microwaves are essentially bricked while the timer counts down which is so crazy to me it's like they've made this appliance worse on purpose.

I get irrationally upset over microwaves that don't let you use the timer and cook functions simultaneously

Funny that the EB Games was changed to Gamestop just a few years ago to now change back.

What's the third word? I'm guessing it's "Hunting" but it looks like hnnting

Your neighbour is very bad at deciphering tracks

Same reason it's weird to serve chicken with eggs. No need to wipe out the whole family in one meal

Yeah that's pretty accurate. It doesn't help that the current internet structure thrives on any sort of engagement so getting some haters means you're more visible and it becomes a feedback loop.

who are these people

I can only ever hear this in a Seinfeld voice

I'll try and answer this but it's complicated...

From what I gather, there are a bunch of different groups that dislike her for different reasons. Some people are just misogynists with fragile egos who can't take a joke. Some are prudes who think less of anyone who does sex work. Some dislike her political comics for being "low effort". Some think her comics are unfairly boosted (bots or something I guess??) to be more prominent than they should be. Some are upset over her apparent misandry in one particular comic (and the doubling down defense of it). And lastly some dislike how much "power" she has to quash all criticism/critique/parody of her comics.

It's messy because the ones in the last couple of groups get lumped in with the ones in the first groups and it gets vitriolic/toxic pretty quickly. You know, like the internet tends to do.

Nurses tend to like the veins in my left arm so I've had a few comments on that.

I add some butter too so it makes a bit of a sauce, and don't be too thorough when draining so that there's a little bit of starchy water to saucify things even more.

A tiny bit true here in Canada too as not every riding has the same number of people, with some smaller ridings having 1/4 to 1/5 as many people as the more populous ones. That said, it's in our constitution that more ridings are created as the population grows so the problem is much more diluted, and having a slight tilt to the less populous areas helps offset the "tyranny of majority" that can happen when it's "fair". All in all, I think it's a decent system

Who's SwipeMan?

Interesting. So the potato thing is technically against their rules, but they just do it anyways I guess?
