Holy crap I’d fly cross-continent to attend the entire thing if I had the time!!!

Pfff. Amateurs. I did much worse for a spider!!!

This.

Doesn’t understand or doesn’t care???

Ditto.

In Canada we call that Tim Hortons

My son was diagnosed before he even turned 3 and his younger sister was being assessed, both of them are non-verbal. What I was learning about it put so many things from my entire childhood and youth in perspective and everything finally made sense, so I consulted and sure enough was diagnosed myself. My parents refused to accept it, they said I’m making excuses to not act “normally” and have cut all contact. I made my peace with that and am grateful about it, I no longer have to tolerate toxic people demeaning me for who I am, and my children sure don’t deserve that.

Don’t try to connect from where you are. Reach him where he is. Learn his language, and learn to think like him, and don’t force it. Remember that it is as hard for him to connect with others as it is for you to connect with him, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to or care.

Today is a good day for my childhood to die.

Because this needs to be done 1000% right, there is no margin for error, everything has to be done in an iron clad manner that cannot be dismantled by half-assing it. Indicting a former president is a first in the history of this country, and this former president is nothing short of a cult leader with millions of unshakable followers, many of whom are armed to the teeth and ready to burn this country to the ground for him. So this has to be done very friggin carefully.

Exist for yourself and the people around you. If your idea of happiness if being universally known, you will never be happy, because every celibrity has at least as many haters has fans, and haters tend to talk louder.

The world is you, and this life is yours. Make it memorable and agreable for yourself and those around you. I’m not saying go be an Indiana Jones and have Impossible adventures, I’m saying make the most of what you have and the ones you are surrounded with. In the end you won’t care if the universe remembers you, only what you remember.

I understand what you say and agree, however there is a point to be made about what the definition of stupid should be. Due to proximity, I will take myself as an example. I’m incredibly absent minded and pay little attention because I have too much on my mind and too little rest to deal with it all, so I focus on what I can while the rest often gets neglected. Many people then view my behavior as stupidity and I do not care about their opinions enough to correct their perception. Although even if I did it might not change anything. So go ahead and think what you will of me, unless they have anything helpful to say I won’t pay attention. I’m that kinda stupid.

“It had Ron Perlman in it” is the bets selling point for any movie/tv show. During the Beauty & The Beast TV craze they made an album of him as his Vincent character reading friggin poetry, and it works!!!

Bubba Ho-Tep. Everyone I mention it to have a blank expression on their face, some whom I watched it with kept it afterward. DUDE, this is the greatest Bruce Campbell performance, this is probably the greatest Elvis fiction ever, the film is absolutely insane, and they pulled it off for less than the remaining mortgage on my house.

Alan Rickman was universally known as the kindest, most generous and gentle soul. Yet he kick-started his movie career by playing one of the most memorable villains.

Kirk striking the “I can’t see them therefore they can’t see me” pose.

It’s not just America. It’s the whole world right now.

Gonna have that in my head all day now. Thanks a LOT

Anyone ever watched the CBC mini series H2O ?

Canada has about 10% of our neighbour’s population count, while flushed with natural resources they are running out of starting with clean water. If they go full far right, we become 51.

It definitely is worth it. And if you live around the Laurentians, my boss is hiring!
