Not American, thankfully, so never.

Pledging allegiance to a flag is absolutely bonkers to me.

We're getting a new Corolla LE Hybrid AWD. No sunroof.

There's no way I'd ever buy a car with one.

Most people just piss out 99% of any multivitamin and they're a waste of money. For most. Just eat an apple and veggies semi-regularly.

Paranormal/supernatural doesn't exist in reality. So no.

Used a plasma tv for 11 years, barely any image retention. Got the LG C3 OLED last Black Friday. Shouldn't be an issue. Just turn on pixel shift to help prevent burn in if you actually do have the same static image in the same spot for hours at a time.

Maybe a couple times a year?

Overall really enjoyed it. It was exactly as advertised (Ally McBeal + MCU), funny, entertaining, and well done, except the ending - especially considering Secret Invasion.

Also like that it upsets incels so much. Male fragility is hilarious, even if fucking pathetic.

Got a Garmin in January 2021, wear it 99% if the time. Average daily steps is 9646 but that's been trending down for a bit. Finally getting spring will help. Looking forward to the 20-35k on our music festival days in the summer.

I got my Galaxy S8 six months after its release for $0 on a Black Friday sale plus a work promotion. Still using it 6.5 years later.

Anyone who says yes has absolutely no grip on reality.

Steven Page leaving the band in 2009 is a major factor they dropped off, imo. He was a principle songwriter and has such a unique vocal style that Ed or Kevin can't replicate.

Woah-ohhhh

Negative. I don't typically enjoy animation of any kind and anime is absolutely my least favourite style.

Dr. Who

Can't quote the topic title. Pedantic, but it's always Doctor, not Dr.

Season 1?

The most recent Christmas special gives a possible reason this is season one, as has some clarifications that I've seen:

Tennant's 10 reborn exists at the same time as Ncuti's 14.

Is it gonna be another Eccleston time skip kind of thing?

In canon, that wasn't as much a time skip as 9 erasing the War Doctor from his memories, shown in the 50th anniversary special. John Hurt was amazing.

Full screen only, since the late 90s. I barely ever played games on PC back then and haven't at all in over a decade. I pretty much only use it for web browsing, or word processing when I was in university, so no need to see other programs since there are were none other than Winamp.

I started making music a couple years ago and sometimes use an extended desktop to my tv, but even then everything is full screen.

There are lots of great ekit options, but they do cost more. Alesis Nitro, Yamaha, Roland, etc. And def take lessons!

Ma'am, this is a Wendy's.

There are two or three group text chats that they have added me to. I've muted all of them and literally never open them, because I'm not interested in thinking about work when I'm not at work.

I don't drink coffee but I do like a sugary iced cappuccino

I was in my 20s when they came back in the early 2000s and I had zero interest in them. So yeah, I remember that they exist, but that's the end of it.

Likely no. I would rather work 3-5 days in a row and have the occasional 2 day weekend like I do now.

Union job, 70 hours/2 weeks, and roughly 120 hours of PTO that carries over year to year (I currently have over 200 on the books despite taking a full 2 weeks the last 2 years plus lots of other individual days).

If the pay was good enough and I didn't hate the job, maybe for a year or two.

I never really liked the original two movies, haven't bothered to see the two since and won't see the upcoming.

Never been an issue in any house I've lived it, and I can't imagine it would ever be on one on my cul-de-sac. And even then, I can't imagine I'd care if there was cars regularly parked in front of my house.

I use exactly zero community assets. Well, except putting my dog poop bags in the playground trash if necessary, but again, the city maintains that and keeps it clean.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I have never and will never attend community events. The dump is a 5 minute drive, or I can set up a large item trash pickup easily with the city.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I couldn't give less of a fuck what other people do with their yards. Make beautiful gardens, use as extra parking, keep trimmed, let it grow, etc. It's their land.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I would rather that people in the area should voice their individual concerns to the city - or group together if they want - instead of a singular board determining that stuff. Meanwhile, my city posts public notices of potential projects and asks the public to reach out with ideas or concerns.

I do not want police actively patrolling my street and I live in Canada. In Texas? Jesus Christ no.

Glad you find those things beneficial. Absolutely zero are to me, and are reasons I would never live in a HOA.

Haven't used it in years. I keep meaning to archive my account and then delete it, because fuck Elon.

We don't have an actual IMAX screen anywhere near my city - it's a regular theatre, just an altered ratio projection/screen, and sound waaaay too loud for the small room. Went a couple times after it opened but never since; I refuse to ever waste my money here.

Last real IMAX was last year in Ottawa, saw the Bowie Ziggy Stardust concert film remaster re-release.

I gave up on religious stuff after a couple days at Sunday school when I was like 5. Parents were never religious, I cried every Sunday because I didn't like it, and that was that. Never entertained the notion of religion as part of my life since.

For instance they're the ones responsible for getting someone in to repave the road (subdivisions are responsible for their own road upkeep, not the municipality).

Thankfully I live in a sensible country where the municipality is responsible for road upkeep, subdivision or not.

We own our home and I'd never live in a HOA.

I wouldnt spend a dollar to meet any politician

Fundraiser or not, this. I'd never spend a dime to meet any politician.

Some musicians I might, but it would have to be for more than just a few minutes.

Went to World once in 2014 with the in-laws and it was absolutely the worst vacation I've ever had. I have zero attachment to any of the characters or movies, the rides are for kids with no actual coasters, it costs a fuck ton, etc. Never again.

Watched an hour or two a decade ago; never again. Boring waste of time where rhe highlight is actors jerking each other off. Never cared about awards of any kind.

DMT is a hell of a drug.

Live outside the listed zones, plus have been to England (GMT) and Belgium/Netherlands (CET).

The animation is insane gorgeous as well.

Also this. We recently got a quality HDR OLED and the movie is fucking beautiful. It was even prettier for me since I was on the tail end of a half square trip

Literally watched it last night. Never saw a trailer so I had no expectations. It was alright; worth watching if you're bored but not great. The stakes are much lower than most Pixar movies and it's lacking a real emotional gut-punch. Wish they had dealt more with the immigrant story aspect.

Of course not, because I live in a country with actual gun control laws, very little gun crime, and I have no desire to ever own a gun.

A mixture of hell no and who? I don't watch streamers, no idea who 95% of them are.

Most citizens have no need for any guns and there should be significantly less in the US. Open carry is beyond stupid.

Was stoked to hear Garbage play that when I saw them at a festival last year.

Card limit of $25k, balance is always paid off in full every month. Usually $400-800.

Hard pass. There is literally nothing from the 50s that I would like to experience, and I rather like travelling for modern music festivals.

It's been almost twenty years so I can't remember the word count, but def 15k+ for a seminar history course on America in the 1960s, taught by a guy who turned down a scholarship to Harvard to be a dj in the late 60s. Did a double history/English major so I wrote a lotta shit.

He passed away a few years ago and I ended up buying some vinyl from his extensive collection from his widow (Euro pressing KMFDM Naive, first pressing Moby Ambient, MC5 Kick Out the Jams, first pressing Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells, The Kinks Lola vs..., The Rutles, Vanilla Fudge s/t, Steely Dan Aja, etc). Wish I had bought more local stuff.

Nope. I used the Creative line for years, starting with the 64MB NOMAD IIc, then the 60GB NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra, and ending with the 60GB ZEN Vision: M.

Once I got a smartphone with expandable storage in 2011 I stopped using dedicated players. I have never deleted any mp3s and have them all on my media box at home, and have most of them on my phone via 128GB MicroSD.

Is Alberta like Florida for Canada?

I'd closer to Texas. Oil country, cows, horses, and bales of hay everywhere, cowboy hats, giant lifted trucks, churches everywhere, and a looming sense of hatred towards the other.

They did get Notley a decade ago but the misogynist backlash was horrid.
