@poemblaze football is the most amazing game. But! I don't really like sports crowds/culture. So, I like the game, but not the experience. I live in Montreal, so hockey is a religion. I have been to three games in my life and watch maybe 2 a year (in non-olympic years).

@PamsMyth It's insane. Less than 7 % of our roading/transport infrastructure is for what we'll call "not vehicles" and they whine like babies. AND STILL in the 10 minute walk ot a local shop I nearly got hit twice.

@Logfy yeah, good luck with that. They'd fight it. Alberta would join in. And then Quebec would warm up a bit, come off the bench and drop the gloves. It's a pathetic mess.

So basically the World Cup I won't watch turns out to be the world cup with the wildest results?

@PamsMyth ... there are people who are convinced that protected bike lanes are more dangerous (but who cares because bikes never, apparently, ever stop at stops), There are people who are upset about the smaller lanes.. basically, there are two main camps (with much overlap) 1) car primacy/never question the status quo 2) those who hate our (woman) mayor.

@PamsMyth The Facebook people are super vexing. We just had 18 months of redoing a street beside our house. 4 meters down, all new infrastructure then protected bike paths, narrower road, trees. I love the result (my love for the process is mitigated by discovering leftover trauma from earthquakes). There are people blaming the mayor for delivery people stopping illegally...

@PamsMyth they came back and told me that my interpretation is in my head.. so yeah, I did my second block in 2 days.

@PamsMyth they’re all so dumb and wrong Pam. So so wrong

@Shelter you can always tell. Retail, manual labour and the requisite stint in a McDonalds.

@Shelter so, based on that, you've worked retail/customer service right?

Dearest Usians: I don't even half the food you're making and you're making me hungry.

@WeaselToo rise and grind! Always working! Blargh

@lilyunsub well there is that, for sure, but also that the people on Facebook are wrong. 😜 the mastodon case was an overreaction on his part to my super gentle “erm… how about this point”. I caught a strong whiff of libertarian/tech bro from him.

It’s possible that a) I miss arguing in the bird site more than I realize b) chaos/rage are my brand. I say this because I have show my claws twice in the last 12 hours. Once on Facebook and once on mastodon and, gos help me, it felt good.

Awake. Ready to face the day. Or some bullshit.

Meh

Cutest Xmas decoration!!

@sock he seems erm, problematic as fuck.

@heyrhiannon ira complicated though, eh? Like it’s many places all at once. Ugh.
